The color of an artwork can effect my feelings or moods by the war.docx

rtodd643

The color of an artwork can effect my feelings or moods by the warmth or coolness of the colors and the lightness or darkness of the tones of colors. For example, art that includes dark tones of red, orange and yellow can remind someone of burning flames and could cause someone to feel uneasy or even anxious. If this color scheme were brighter toned, it may remind someone of the fall season and it could cause excitement and joy. Artwork with darker tones of green, blue and purple could remind someone of a rainstorm and cause them to feel depressed, whereas a work with lighter tones of this color scheme could remind someone of calming ocean waves and make them feel at peace. I would personally use color and composition in art to provoke a calming response because I tend to enjoy artwork that makes me feel calm and peaceful. I would use bright tones of cool colors along with white, cream colors, and even some light gray shades to evoke a laid-back feeling to the piece. I would also not use any sharp edged shapes and lines and i would use a more rounded technique to whatever type of art I would create in order to make the piece easy to look at and in turn make the viewer feel at ease. This piece of artwork I have included is one of the canvas prints I have hanging up in my room. I don't know who it was created by since it was just something I bought from a popular store a long time ago, but it is one of my favorite pieces ever and if I had the means (or the talent) to create something like this, I would! I would make something like this because it has bright tones of cool colors like blue and purple and bits of bright pink and white, which are colors that bring me peace and make me think of things like ocean waves over a surfer. I like that it makes me imagine the surfer instead of a surfer being included in the work. I would also create this sort of piece because there are minimal harsh or pointed lines and shapes in it, and it flows effortlessly from one end of the canvas to the other.

Based on what we have learned from ancient civilizations, are their ways we can culturally adapt to changes? Please read Chapter 2 ("History in Ancient and Medieval Times") by Jeremy D. Popkin in From Herodotus to H-Net: The Story of Historiography. As you read, think about the following questions: 1. Name three Greek and/or Roman writers in ancient times, and explain why they believed that it was important to write down history (= what happened in the past). Compare and contrast their reasons. 2. What was different about the way in which Christians thought about history (as compared to pagan Greek and Roman historians?) 3. Why was history important to officials in China and in the Muslim World (mostly the Middle East)? What similarities and differences do you notice in their approaches to history writing? 4. Explain what the author means when he writes, "More important for the practice of history was the growth of cities in Europe" [in the late Middle Ages]. 1. Required Resource Text Feder, K. L. (2016).

NOTES - Module 3 Module Notes Ancient Aegean World and Emergence o.docx

poulterbarbara

NOTES - Module 3: Module Notes: Ancient Aegean World and Emergence of Greek Civilization Module 3 presents two cultures of the Aegean: the Minoans of Crete, and the Mycenaean people on the Greek mainland. The rarity of written evidence from this period forces historians to rely on architectural remains and artifacts to interpret the cultures. We will do the same. Two vibrant Aegean civilizations existed that were concurrent with Middle and New Kingdom Egypt. These were the cultures of the Minoans, based on the large island of Crete (c.1900-c.1450), and the Mycenaean people, based on today’s mainland Greece (c.1600-c.1100 BCE). These were not Greeks, but pre-Greek peoples. Very few written records survive, and so we do not have the same full picture of history here that we do for the Egyptians. Archaeological evidence, however, shows these cultures to be prosperous groups whose wealth was based on seafaring trade. Late 19th and early 20th century digs have uncovered important citadel or palace complexes related to these groups. For the Minoans, the text concentrates on the Palace of Knossos on Crete. This labyrinthine structure included living quarters, mercantile areas, courtyards, a processional corridor, theaters and religious spaces. Surviving wall paintings have an informal, even playful quality. Pottery, an important art and export item, show painted motifs whose curling, free-floating forms derive from sea life and other nature subjects. For the Mycenaean culture, the text concentrates on the hilltop site of Mycenae, for which this culture is named. Here, you will find massive defensive walls, evidence of palace architecture, and shaft graves which held gold funerary masks and decorative items of wealth, incorporating the same playful Minoan imagery. In this module, you will also be introduced to the Greeks. These people migrated onto the Greek peninsula between 1200 and 1100 BCE, ending Mycenaean dominance there. History is sparce for several hundred years, but a strong Greek culture emerged around 800 BCE. We saw how important tradition and persistent conventions were to the Egyptians. The Greek culture contrasts with this traditionalism by embracing experimentation and exploration in everything from political systems, to philosophical ideas, to empirical science. Competition between the separate Greek city states helped spur on their seemingly modern notion of progress. In art, we also see experimentation and evolution of style. In this module, we can focus on pottery alone to see rapid style changes that form a traceable, linear progression. The four Greek pottery phases are Geometric, Orientalizing, Black Figure and Red Figure. Each style presents beautiful representation of Greek myths and legends, along with athletic events and secular Greek life. Now that you have completed the module readings, please move to the next learning activity, Dissecting a Palace in Search of Minoan Culture. Assignment - The written documen ...

History Essay Museum Exhibit Analysis. Introduction: In his book A different mirror: a history of multicultural America , Professor Ronald Takaki challenges the Master Narrative of American History, the “powerful and popular but inaccurate story” declaring that “our country was settled by European immigrants, and Americans are white.” In his work, Professor Takaki highlighted the hopes and struggles of immigrant men and women working and living in America, dispelling the many negative stereotypes marginalized as the “Other.” Objective: The goal of this assignment is to identify how the official history is represented in repositories of human civilization, spaces that are also known as museums. Pay particular attention to the spatial management of the exhibit, the order in which the artifacts are displayed, and how they present the participation of certain groups of individuals in the official history. Your paper should be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman size 12. For this assignment, please read the following pieces. These articles will provide you with the necessary context to execute this particular assignment. Both articles are posted on the course website. Golding, Viv. Learning at the museum frontiers: identity, race, and power , Introduction. Trofanenko, Brenda. "Displayed objects, Indigenous identities, and public pedagogy." Anthropology and Education , Vol 37, No. 4, 2006, pp. 309-327. Instructions for Writing the Essay: As you begin to write your paper, please reflect on what you observed in the exhibit and compose a 4-6-page paper that summarizes, critiques and applies the exhibit to the overarching theme of the course, the Master Narrative of American History. Does the exhibit challenge this notion, or does it affirm it? Further, please address the following questions in your essay. Primary theme and subthemes of the exhibit: What information is the exhibit attempting to convey? What kind of story is being presented? How was the use of space representative of the exhibit? What is so particular about the order of the artifacts being displayed? How are historically disadvantaged groups represented in the exhibit? How are identities, i. e., ethnicity, gender, sexuality addressed in the exhibit? How is the exhibit presenting these different intersections, if at all? Multimedia tools: are there any videos/films, digitalized diagrams, maps, computer kiosks incorporated into the exhibit? If you had the opportunity to talk to the curator of the exhibit, what questions would you ask him/her? Make sure to visit the museum’s webpage or call ahead of time to confirm hours of operation and possible cover fees. Please choose a museum for your analysis from the following list. Autry National Center Natural History Museum, Los Angeles County – Becoming Los Angeles Museum of Latin American Art Museum of Contemporary Art Mexican Cultural Institute Los Angeles Country Museum of Art California African American Museum.
