AtA Project as of Now

     This week, with the start of Romanticism, I again found it interesting to analyze a painting for my work of art. I think that soon I will start to back track through the different movements that we have studied to find paintings separate than those I have already analyzed and write similar assignments on them. This way I will have a base line analysis, and I won't start to fall behind as we continue to move through the time periods. I enjoyed that each movement seems to be a reaction to the last, and I wonder if I could focus a portion of my project on the reasons for change and revolution between the movements.

    This could work, but remember that your work needs to connect to today in a substantial way for this project. Review the project overview and note that the purpose is to get a sense of what works of art or major current events are significant to our understanding of the arts!

Analyzing the Post-Modern

Image
  Image: Marilyn Monroe ; Source: Pinterest     In the piece Marilyn Monroe  by Andy Warhol, Post-Modern values are exemplified through the use of color and repetition, which brings about ideas of industrialization.     Warhol's use of color in this piece creates differences in the otherwise identical four pictures of Marilyn Monroe. This creates the idea of uniqueness, but this is not the idea that Warhol desired to display. The opposite, the repetitive nature of the pictures is where Warhol's intentions lie. Each image, differentiated only by color, are meant to represent Warhol's disdain for manufacturing and mass marketing. He hoped to display Monroe as an object through which to represent society's consumerism. Each item manufactured on a large scale, worshipped by society as a unique good, which in this instance devalues the individual worth of Monroe, but on a larger scale devalues the worth of unique or artisan products.     These ideas ar...

Modernism in a Physical Display

Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1959; Source: Trendir     The above work, the Guggenheim Museum, effectively displays the values of Modernism while appealing to a wider audience, all through design and aesthetic characteristics, which brings about ideas of today's fluid working environment. The Guggenheim's tiered, circular upper portion serves two purposes. The first provides a spiraling interior used to display artwork in a way which allows the audience to flow through the work in a sequence. The second is to emphasize the freedom within Modernism. The building rejects the square-cornered boundaries of the surrounding city, instead focusing on dynamic curves which invite viewers to explore freedom of expression. The museum houses works of art, while it's own exterior is a Modernist work, creating a feeling of interest and artisanship within onlookers. The fluidness of the buildings exterior and the purpose-built interior lead to contemporary...

Enlightenment Movement and Culture

Image
      The Enlightenment was a revolutionary cultural movement which serves as a basis for much of modern science, philosophy and society. It championed reason and renounced the feudalist ways of the past, paving the way for the average citizen in society. Out of the Enlightenment emerged the first glimpses of equality among people.
