This document provides an overview of the Mannerism art movement including its key characteristics and two prominent artists, Parmigianino and Jacopo Tintoretto. Mannerism arose in the 16th century as a transition between Renaissance elegance and Baroque theatricality. It is characterized by elongated figures, artificial poses, and ornate decoration. Parmigianino was renowned for his sensual and elongated figures as seen in works like Madonna with Long Neck. Tintoretto blended Mannerist styles with dramatic lighting effects, as in his Last Supper which contrasts spiritual and earthly realms.

The document provides an in-depth analysis of Albrecht Dürer's 1511 woodcut "Ecce Homo". It examines the compositional elements, use of linear perspective and shading techniques to create a sense of depth and form. Key aspects include the use of verticals, horizontals, diagonals, circles and nested golden sections to structure the composition. Dürer employed various tonal techniques like hatching and cross-hatching to represent space, atmosphere and convey the serious context of Christ's presentation to the people prior to his crucifixion. The work was part of Dürer's influential "Small Passion" series published in 1511 as a devotional book.
The document summarizes Renaissance and Medieval art. It describes the characteristics of Renaissance art, including a focus on realistic depictions of religious and everyday scenes. Early Renaissance art in Italy used frescoes and lacked depth, while Northern Renaissance art used oil on wood for more luminous paintings. High Renaissance art featured naturalism, order, and commissions from private patrons. The document also describes Gothic architecture and religious art like frescoes and mosaics in the Medieval period, which was dominated by the Catholic Church.
The pulpit by Nicola Pisano from 1260 is considered a major work of medieval sculpture. Unlike traditional Tuscan pulpits, it stands freely in space rather than against a wall, allowing it to be viewed from all sides. The hexagonal pulpit features high relief panels depicting scenes from Jesus's life and is supported by elaborate columns resting on carved lions. Pisano's style concentrated on creating monumental figures with a new classic dignity.

The document discusses ten principles of design: repetition, variety, rhythm, symmetrical balance, asymmetrical balance, scale, proportion, emphasis, and unity. It provides examples to illustrate each principle. Repetition involves repeating shapes or objects, as seen in the minimalist art of Donald Judd and Andy Warhol's soup cans. Variety concerns variations on a theme, like different chair designs. Rhythm uses repetition and variety to create a pattern, like the stripes in Bridget Riley's paintings. Symmetrical balance has mirror symmetry across an axis, while asymmetrical balance maintains visual flow without symmetry. Scale relates objects to norms and emphasis draws attention to a focal point. Proportion concerns relationships between parts and whole, and

• DC Comics was founded in 1934 by publishing entrepreneur Malcolm Wheeler-
Nicholson under the name of "National Allied Publications" (Harras, 2014).
• People had nicknamed it "DC" because of one of its most popular comic series,
Detective Comics, and thus was born one of the world's most recognizable comic book
brandings (Harras, 2014).
• In 1938, Action Comics #1 came out, featuring a man in a red and blue costume lifting
a car over his head. This amazing character was none other than Superman (The
History of Comics, 2006).
• Superman was the first comic character to have super-human powers far beyond a
normal hero.
• Superman was a hero like no other. His superhuman traits superseded the impossible.
He possessed the strength of a hundred men, could ricochet bullets off his chest, run
faster than a locomotive, and leap over tall buildings in a single bound.
David
• Michelangelo’s works were influenced by the philosophies and political
beliefs of Medici’s intellectual party.

It explores colour as a psycho-physiological phenomenon influenced by factors like juxtaposition, contrast, viewing distance and texture. Examples from artists like Van Gogh, Seurat and Monet are provided to show how they scientifically studied colour effects. The document also discusses how substrate colour impacts the contrast and appearance of colours in an image. Overall, the document examines colour from artistic, scientific and technological perspectives to better understand colour phenomena and the difficulties of colour management.
Romanesque wall paintings in churches had a didactic purpose and featured predominantly religious themes and iconography. Common images included the Pantocrator or Christ as judge at the center, surrounded by other figures like the Virgin Mary, angels, and saints. Stylistically, the paintings had flat colors, thick outlines, and lacked realistic proportions or shading. Specific conventions were used to depict figures and symbolism around religious scenes. Wall paintings could cover vaults and arches in addition to apses and were not confined to any single location within the church.

Abstract
The following essay will discuss two pieces of art from the Renaissance period. The first is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa which is the most well known painting of all times. The other piece of art that will be discussed was also created by the Renaissance by the great Michelangelo. Both of the pieces of art provide an important record of art during this time period.
Renaissance Art
The Renaissance was the rebirth of society after the Middle Ages. Believed to have begun in 14th Century Italy, the Renaissance was a revival of classical learning and the arts. New techniques in art and science began a new cultural movement focused on gaining and spreading knowledge. Art and science was intertwined during this era with great artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci who applied polymath to his drawings, resulting in some of the most visually spectacular art created in human history. Two of the greatest artist during the Italian Renaissance was Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Da Vinci greatest masterpiece was the Mona Lisa while Michelangelo’s greatest works are the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel especially the Last Judgment.
Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa was created by one of the greatest artist in the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci painted the very famous Mona Lisa between the dates of 1503-1506 in Florence, Italy and currently hangs in the Louvre. The Mona Lisa is painted in oil on poplar wood and is two dimensional. This painting is owned by the French government and is the most well known painting in the world. It is believed the portrait is of the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant who commissioned da Vinci to create the portrait but for some reason the merchant never received the portrait so it was carried to France when da Vinci went to work for King Francis I.
The fascination with the painting is in part due to the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa. Many have speculated what she was smiling about with some believing the smile is for her husband’s while others believed the smile was for da Vinci. The painting was created in the realist school applying perception as taught by Master painter, Verocchio. The Mona Lisa is painted in this style. The Mona Lisa is painted from the frontal view point displaying three fourths of her body. The painting is created applying the scientific study of light and shadow and the chiaroscuro technique. This technique involves creating a more three dimensional figure by applying shadows and light to the painting.
The painting is painted in oil using darker colors to shadow and lighter colors to highlight distinct features of the painting. Leonardo uses his characteristic sfumato which is the use of a smoky haziness, to soften outlines and create an atmospheric effect around the figure (Lichfield, 2006). The subject matter, a woman bel ...
The document discusses changes in art during the Renaissance that illustrate changes in how humans viewed themselves and their relationship to the world. During the Middle Ages, art focused on religion and learning centered around the church. Renaissance art began depicting saints and other figures in a more natural, human way rather than ideally. Artists also began using techniques like linear perspective and oil paints to represent three-dimensions and textures more realistically.
The document discusses fresco painting and provides examples of famous frescoes. It describes fresco as a technique of painting water-based pigments onto wet plaster, allowing the colors to soak into the plaster. Examples mentioned include Jacob Lawrence's piece telling the story of African Americans migrating North, and Raphael's frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura capturing the Renaissance period. The document also discusses Diego Rivera's fresco Liberation of the Peon depicting a brutalized body surrounded by men providing aid, and Michelangelo's famous frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling including The Creation of Adam.
The document discusses Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance. It describes some of his most famous works, including the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which he painted between 1508-1512. The ceiling depicts nine stories from Genesis and features over 300 figures. It also discusses Michelangelo's specialty in painting the human body, and how he would dissect corpses to better understand human anatomy.
The document discusses and analyzes four artworks:
1) Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy by Anton Van Dyck, which uses cool colors to depict the saint's discouragement yet persevering faith.
2) The Trinity by El Greco, showing Christ's ascent to heaven surrounded by angels and God, made with warm colors and overlapping figures.
3) Orestes and Pylades by Piseteles, a sculpture of the two friends sacrificing that uses correct anatomical proportions and hierarchical scaling.
4) Venus with a Shell by Mateo Bonarelli, a sculpture of the nude goddess proportioned according to classical canons of beauty.

The document discusses ten principles of design: repetition, variety, rhythm, symmetrical balance, asymmetrical balance, scale, proportion, emphasis, and unity. It provides examples to illustrate each principle. Repetition involves repeating shapes or objects, as seen in the minimalist art of Donald Judd and Andy Warhol's soup cans. Variety concerns variations on a theme, like different chair designs. Rhythm uses repetition and variety to create a pattern, like the stripes in Bridget Riley's paintings. Symmetrical balance has mirror symmetry across an axis, while asymmetrical balance maintains visual flow without symmetry. Scale relates objects to norms and emphasis draws attention to a focal point. Proportion concerns relationships between parts and whole, and

Romanesque wall paintings in churches had a didactic purpose and featured predominantly religious themes and iconography. Common images included the Pantocrator or Christ as judge at the center, surrounded by other figures like the Virgin Mary, angels, and saints. Stylistically, the paintings had flat colors, thick outlines, and lacked realistic proportions or shading. Specific conventions were used to depict figures and symbolism around religious scenes. Wall paintings could cover vaults and arches in addition to apses and were not confined to any single location within the church.

Abstract
The following essay will discuss two pieces of art from the Renaissance period. The first is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa which is the most well known painting of all times. The other piece of art that will be discussed was also created by the Renaissance by the great Michelangelo. Both of the pieces of art provide an important record of art during this time period.
Renaissance Art
The Renaissance was the rebirth of society after the Middle Ages. Believed to have begun in 14th Century Italy, the Renaissance was a revival of classical learning and the arts. New techniques in art and science began a new cultural movement focused on gaining and spreading knowledge. Art and science was intertwined during this era with great artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci who applied polymath to his drawings, resulting in some of the most visually spectacular art created in human history. Two of the greatest artist during the Italian Renaissance was Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Da Vinci greatest masterpiece was the Mona Lisa while Michelangelo’s greatest works are the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel especially the Last Judgment.
Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa was created by one of the greatest artist in the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci painted the very famous Mona Lisa between the dates of 1503-1506 in Florence, Italy and currently hangs in the Louvre. The Mona Lisa is painted in oil on poplar wood and is two dimensional. This painting is owned by the French government and is the most well known painting in the world. It is believed the portrait is of the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant who commissioned da Vinci to create the portrait but for some reason the merchant never received the portrait so it was carried to France when da Vinci went to work for King Francis I.
The fascination with the painting is in part due to the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa. Many have speculated what she was smiling about with some believing the smile is for her husband’s while others believed the smile was for da Vinci. The painting was created in the realist school applying perception as taught by Master painter, Verocchio. The Mona Lisa is painted in this style. The Mona Lisa is painted from the frontal view point displaying three fourths of her body. The painting is created applying the scientific study of light and shadow and the chiaroscuro technique. This technique involves creating a more three dimensional figure by applying shadows and light to the painting.
The painting is painted in oil using darker colors to shadow and lighter colors to highlight distinct features of the painting. Leonardo uses his characteristic sfumato which is the use of a smoky haziness, to soften outlines and create an atmospheric effect around the figure (Lichfield, 2006). The subject matter, a woman bel ...
The document discusses changes in art during the Renaissance that illustrate changes in how humans viewed themselves and their relationship to the world. During the Middle Ages, art focused on religion and learning centered around the church. Renaissance art began depicting saints and other figures in a more natural, human way rather than ideally. Artists also began using techniques like linear perspective and oil paints to represent three-dimensions and textures more realistically.
The document discusses fresco painting and provides examples of famous frescoes. It describes fresco as a technique of painting water-based pigments onto wet plaster, allowing the colors to soak into the plaster. Examples mentioned include Jacob Lawrence's piece telling the story of African Americans migrating North, and Raphael's frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura capturing the Renaissance period. The document also discusses Diego Rivera's fresco Liberation of the Peon depicting a brutalized body surrounded by men providing aid, and Michelangelo's famous frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling including The Creation of Adam.
The document discusses Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance. It describes some of his most famous works, including the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which he painted between 1508-1512. The ceiling depicts nine stories from Genesis and features over 300 figures. It also discusses Michelangelo's specialty in painting the human body, and how he would dissect corpses to better understand human anatomy.
The document discusses and analyzes four artworks:
1) Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy by Anton Van Dyck, which uses cool colors to depict the saint's discouragement yet persevering faith.
2) The Trinity by El Greco, showing Christ's ascent to heaven surrounded by angels and God, made with warm colors and overlapping figures.
3) Orestes and Pylades by Piseteles, a sculpture of the two friends sacrificing that uses correct anatomical proportions and hierarchical scaling.
4) Venus with a Shell by Mateo Bonarelli, a sculpture of the nude goddess proportioned according to classical canons of beauty.

Here is a comparison of two sculptures from different eras:
Name of Sculpture 1: The Discobulus
Period/Era: Classical Greek
Materials used: Marble
Name of Sculpture 2: The Portonacio Sarcophagus
Period/Era: Roman
Materials used: Marble
The Discobulus uses curved, organic lines to depict the athlete's muscular form twisting into a throw. The lines create a sense of tension and movement.

Hamlet Final Assessment
DUE DATE: WEDNESDAY, 12/20, 11:30 PM
At the end of the Hamlet unit, you will have two choices to earn 100 points. These choices replace the final essay test that was in the course originally. You can choose only ONE of the following options, and the due date remains the same. These activities will be graded just like the test would have been, meaning there is no chance to redo or revise the assignment. However, this will be taken into consideration when I grade them.
No matter what option you choose, it must be completed in a Word document and labeled or titled so that it is clear to your teacher which option you chose. On your document, write it as a heading, like this:
Your first and last name
Date
Name of the option you chose
Models of each assignment can be found in class announcements.
Option #1: RAFT
A RAFT is a writing assignment that encourages you to uncover your own voice and formats for presenting your ideas about the content you are studying. In this design, you have a lot of freedom to choose what interests you.
· R = Role of the writer: Who are you as the writer?
· A = Audience: To whom are you writing?
· F = Format: In what format are you writing?
· T = Topic: What are you writing about?
The process:
1. Use the chart below to choose two characters from the ROLE column. Your goal is to write in the voice (Role) of YOUR CHARACTER.
2. Using the knowledge and understanding that you have gained throughout the reading and viewing of Hamlet, choose a related Audience, Format, and Topic from the chart below.
3. As you craft your creative writing assignment, be sure the character’s personality and motivations are evident. For instance, you could choose Ophelia (role), Hamlet (audience), blog entry (format) and betrayal (theme). Then you will write a blog entry from Ophelia’s point of view with Hamlet as the intended audience focused on the theme of betrayal.
4. Next, repeat this process for a different role, audience, format and theme.
5. Please see the model below (pg. 8) to understand what to do.
6. If you are unsure of what a particular format is, the best thing to do is look up examples online.
· YOU MUST CHOOSE TWO CHARACTERS FROM THE ROLE LIST AND COMPLETE TWO DIFFERENT RAFTS. THEY WILL BE WORTH 50 POINTS EACH AND MUST BE AT LEAST 200 WORDS EACH.

Delivering Bad News Messages
In the Chapter 7 reading, you learned about inductive and deductive methods of reasoning and communication. Share an example of a "bad news message" either from the text or from an online article you've seen (provide a link, please, if you choose the latter option). Explain whether you believe inductive OR deductive reasoning would be more effective to share that bad news with others and why.
After you have responded to this starter thread, don't forget to reply to at least one classmate to meet the minimum posting frequency requirement.
Student Response:
Erica Collins
RE: Week 4 Discussion: Delivering Bad News Messages
"They never gave me a fair chance," That's unfair," "This just can't be." In this case I will have to go with inductive reasoning after reviewing in some ways they are so similar to one another. Inductive reasoning is more based on uncertainty and deductive reasoning is more factual. In this case the conversation is more of an assumption.
I would think deductive would be more effective to share because deductive focus more on facts. Deductive Reasoning is the basic form of valid reasoning in my words accurate information that can be proven. Inductive reasoning is the premises in which the premises are viewed as supplying some evidence for truth. In my words this seems more of an opinion until proven. Tom me they are similar you have to really read to understand the difference of inductive and deductive reasoning.

ENG 202 Questions about Point of View in Ursula K. Le Guin’s .docxchristinemaritza
ENG 202: Questions about Point of View in Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Wife’s Story” (284-287), Alice
Walker’s “Olive Oil” and Meron Hadero’s “The Suitcase” (both in folder) 7 questions: 50 points total
Read everything carefully. This is designed to provide a learning experience.
Writers often use one of these three types of narration:
First-person narration uses “I” because “one character is telling the story from [his/her] point
of view.” In other words, we step into the skin of this character and move through the story
seeing everything through his/her eyes alone. To best illustrate first-person narration, choose
parts of the story that show the character revealing intimate thoughts/feelings, something we
can see only by having access to his/her heart & mind. This is a useful point of view to show a
character’s change of heart, to trick a reader, and/or to make the reader realize that s/he
understands more than the narrator does.
Third-person omniscient narration: “The narrator sees into the minds of any or all of
the characters, moving when necessary from one to another.” In other words, the
narrator is god-like (all-knowing) with the ability to report on the thoughts of multiple
characters. To best illustrate omniscient third-person narration, choose parts of the
story that show characters’ private thoughts/feelings revealed only to us, not the
others. This can be a very satisfying point of view because we know what is on many or
all characters' minds and do not have to guess. This is a useful point of view to show
how events impact characters in the story.
Third-person limited narration “reduces the narrator’s scope to a single
character.” In other words, the narrator does not know all but is rather
limited to the inner thoughts of one character; however, this narrator can
also objectively report on the environment surrounding this character. To
best illustrate third-person limited, choose parts of the story that
illustrate this character’s thoughts/feelings that are only revealed to
us, not to the others; additionally, choose parts of the story that show
objective reporting of events. This is a useful point of view for stories
that highlight a dynamic between a character and the world.
Each story this week uses a different type of narration.
“The Wife’s Story” uses first-person narration: the story is told from the point of view of the
wife.
1) Quote a part of the story that proves it is written in first-person narration. To earn
full points, choose wisely. To best illustrate first-person narration, choose a part of
the story that shows the wife revealing an intimate thought/feeling, something we can
see only by having access to her heart/mind. To earn full points, achieve correct
integration, punctuation, and citation by using the format below. (8 points)

A Response to “Access to Higher Education”
First sentence: APA Citation + reporting verb + main idea of whole article
In the article “Access to Higher Education,” Moola (2015) discussed the possible factors affecting one’s choice in attending higher education. Many people believe that the dramatic rise in college tuition is the main cause of inaccessibility to college. However, parental education backgrounds and their influence on children, admission selectivity categories in universities, unawareness of student aid opportunities, and coping with personal and social challenges are all having effects on a person’s option regarding their enrollment in colleges. Several negative consequences may occur if tertiary education is considered as a right such as negligence of studies and decrement in pass rate. While it is true that higher educational institutes admit students based on certain criteria, one could argue that it is unfair that universities prefer the wealthy, and those who are academically excellent.
Summary sentences (2 to 3)
Student Thesis: 2 focus points + opinion/position phrases (one positive, one negative)
Firstly, this article overlooked the fact that financial aid is not available for everyone and student loans have to be paid back. The author suggested that if university fees are not affordable, students can apply for academic grants and loans. However, scholarships and academic awards are distributed on a highly competitive basis, and therefore, only students who meet the eligibility requirements can benefit from them. Student financial aid does not cover all fees as well, and students awarded grants have to find other sources of financial aid to cover university fees and living costs. Many universities have a limited number or do not offer merit-scholarships at all, making it difficult for low-income students to be enrolled in their institution. Moreover, student loans usually carry interests that will keep increasing until repaid, resulting in large numbers of fresh graduates getting into debts.
Topic sentence: 1st focu.

What’s Wrong With Holden?/Here’s What You Should Do, Holden…
Spring 2019
Your next project will involve gathering, recording, and analyzing information about
The Catcher in the Rye
.
The goal is to provide the reader with a better understanding of the novel’s main character, Holden Caulfield.
Think about his behavior in terms of cause and effect.
Your essay should focus either on reasons for his behavior (What’s Wrong With Holden?), or the results of Holden’s choices (Here’s What You Should Do, Holden…).
If you choose the latter, include a section that presents advice/guidance (kind of like Old Spencer).
Make sure to use research to support your ideas!
Here are the requirements:
1. 3-4 sources (books, articles, interviews, media, etc.)
2. A 2-page summary of the novel
3. A short essay (2-3 pages) that incorporates the information you gathered and supports some type of causal argument.
4. An MLA “Works Cited” in the essay (it doesn’t count as a page).

ENG 130- Literature and Comp Literary Response for Setting.docxchristinemaritza
ENG 130- Literature and Comp
Literary Response for Setting as a Device
Essay ENG 130: Literary Response for Setting
Sources: Choose one of the stories that you read in Unit 2/Setting Unit
“To Build a Fire” by Jack London
“The Storm” by Kate Chopin
“This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” by Alexie
“The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe
Prompt (What are you writing about?):
How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Note: Remember that Setting is not only the place in which a story occurs. It is also mood,
weather, time, and atmosphere. These things drive other parts of the story.
How to get started:
Choose a story from this unit and discern all the elements of the Setting.
Decide in what three ways the setting contributes to the plot of your chosen story.
Formulate a thesis about setting and these three areas.
Mini lesson on thesis statements:
If you were writing about Star Wars, a sample thesis might read:
The setting in the Star Wars movies contributes to the desperateness of the
Resistance forces, provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur,
focuses on how advances will affect society.
Broken down, this thesis would read:
The Setting in the Star Wars movies:
a. contributes to the desperateness of the Resistance forces (write
a supporting section with text examples)
b. provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur, focuses
on how advances will affect society (write a supporting section
with text examples)
c. focuses on how advances will affect society (write a supporting
section with text examples)
Ask yourself, what is the setting of my story and how does it affect the plot
in the story?
For example, it is apparent that in London’s “To Build a Fire,” you would
devote a supporting section to how the weather conditions drive both the
conflict and the character’s actions.
After you have made connections to the three areas that setting affects, then
form your thesis. Here is a template for your thesis:
The Setting in author’s name and title of the story, contributes to first way
in which the setting affects the story, second way in which setting affects
the story, third way in which setting affects the story.
Instructions:
Read through all of the instructions of this assignment.
Read all of the unit resources.
Select one of the short stories to write about.
Your audience for this essay is people who have read the stories.
Your essay prompt is: How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Your essay will have the following components:
o A title page
o An Introduction
o A thesis at the end of the introduction that clearly states how setting affects the story
o Supporting sections that defend your thesis/focus of the essay
o Text support with properly cited in-text citations
o A concluding paragraph

Art and religion theme
Introduction –religious art works support moral message of
religion. The art works purport to illustrate in context any set of
human beliefs that they regard sacred, spiritual and divine.
Religious art date as back as the Renaissance period. Religious
themes were often commissioned by well to do patron including
the pope. Religious artworks were among the best Renaissance

Art and religion theme
Introduction -Brief explanations of the theme and its elements
using supporting facts.
Close to a third of paintings in the national gallery of western
European art are of religious subjects. The theme reflects that
after classical antiquity religion became unanimous. The images
made to inspire and strengthen faith through private and public
devotion.
Religious themes use elements of symbolism, narrative, ritual,
iconoclasm, calligraphy and authorship in expressing tenets of
beliefs through out history.
2. Religion and spirituality has been a theme of art for many areas.
Religious arts make use of motifs.
Christianity for example illustrates various principles and
narratives of religion. Christianity make use of elaborate
iconographic systems, whereby each saint is associated with a
particular object or animal. Example is saint peter with keys and
depicted with a shamrock for audiences to covey the narrative.
In India Buddhist art flourished, while Tibetan Buddhist was
created as a meditation practice. An example of the meditation
art is the sand mandala made and used by monks.
Islamic art, on the other hand, prohibits representational images
of religious art. The artworks comprise of calligraphic
decorations and repetitive geometric patterns. Geographic
patterns make up of non-figurative types of decorations in
Islamic art.

was completed around 1498. the painting drama is heightened
by composition and details. Each figure is unique and
memorable down to the smallest of details. The last supper is
the most reproduced paintings in the world.

landscape. The landscape in the background terminates in a kind
of misty, greyish horizon. Colours become more dull and
colourless- aerial perspective. Renaissance artist create illusion
of depth in landscape scenes. The painting shows a rectangular
room with coffers on the ceiling and tapestries on either side of
the room.

Visual Elements
9. Michelangelo’s Frescoes ceiling of the Sistine chapel is one
great example of renaissance painting

In the triangular spaces he panels ancestors of Christ
Figures of second section are grander than those in the first
depicting drunkenness of Noah
The skin tones of the figures are pale peach and robes painted in
pale pastels.
Glowing ball lighting the whole image.
Much of the work is moving –image of disaster and love of a
father holding his drowned son
The first section contains sharp discrepancies in scale between
large figures that crowd within them-there’s little sense of unity
in design among various components of the entire painting.
He integrates elements closely moving observers eye from one
to the other in the west end above the altar- one for the prophets
another seated nudes, bronze colored nudes and the scenes in
the central of the rectangles and the corner spandrels.
He maintains a diagonal motion of scenes to the next from the
scenes to the nudes across intervening barriers.

3. Artwork Title
Explanation of background
Originally the ceiling was painted blue and covered with golden
stars.
The various segments were from various scenes in the old
testament. Warm colors were used in the background. With
emphasis on the front storyline.
Renaissance painting used bright colors to its narratives. He
11. created monumental figures that embody both strength and
beauty.
Blue skies with clouds for example were use to represent the
expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden in day
light. Clear white color for the creation of man by god. Less
figurative colours and emphasis was used for the background
with less activity happening but emphasis put on the human
forms to narrate the scenes.

where two assemblies of equal size and dignity reflect and
debate on nature of Christ.
Raphael crossed through horizontal line of saints and vertical
line of the father, son and holy sprit.
He creates lights and shadows with tones of a single color and
combines color in a dramatic way. Color plays important role in
giving sense of depth and space saturated color in the bottom
level to the top leading viewing from earth towards the heavens
level of color intensity distinguishes individuals, clouds and the
courtyard being more intense while background and blue sky is
more dull in comparison.
The centre is a series of concentric circles covering the whole
fresco.
The painting texture is tender and visualizes clarity.
The lines give idealistic impression that fresco painting
dividing it into 3sections-line usage on the top 2 layers are
defined by clouds while those at the background landscapes in
the horizon used to define earth sections.
Usage and placement of lines gives painting volume and sense
of space-top two cloud lines are placed in an organic, circular
shape. Given in 3D spherical environment. half circular shape

16. Formal Art Criticism Theories
Art criticism responds to , interpreting meaning and making
critical judgement about specific works of art.
Journalistic criticism will be best to describe this type of
gallery artworks. They are exhibited in galleries and museums
and have complex narratives and techniques applied.
Interpretations are persuasive arguments. Some interpretations
are better than others
Objects of interpretation are artworks not the artist
Interpretations are not absolutely right but convincing,
enlightening and informative.
Theory for example in the wedding at Cana is subjective to
explaining what is happening in the environment. Crowds could
be a sign of a gathering or chaos but the mood and use of colors
integrated into the painting could help one know if the available
objects are significant.
24
Contextual Art Criticism Theory
This is theory that considers art as a product of culture and
value system. They pay attention to artist expression of a
personality or world view.
Artworks focus on artist’s life, his or her cultural, social,
economic and political conditions. The reactions are public and
critical to the work. The artworks used were of renaissance
period set back by the artists era. Contextual may be political
economic or social. The artworks chosen are all set on a
renaissance society of the European culture.
17. 25
Expressive Art Criticism Theories
Expressive theories attempts to discern personal elements in
works of art as opposed to formal strategies or cultural
influences
Such as use of in the Christ Crucifixion where Diego is more
experienced in detailing Human form and best expresses
artwork by use of the human framework.
26
Comprehensive Statement
Art seeks to please people with beauty. Art as the ability to
refresh the aesthetic feel of an idea or object.
Artworks have the ability to bring positive change-by giving
shape and voice to goals we’re striving to achieve
Challenges perspectives through innovative thinking.
Art pushes controversial buttons and inspire creative ideas
Artworks also record information for future reference.
Visual art has a great role in development of society through
community engagement
Cross-cultural understanding of different societies.
Creative solutions to social issues by being a protest tool and an
inciter of social change
Art criticism theories criticise context of aesthetics by
analysing and evaluating works more. Providing an interpretive
understanding of a particular work of art through a theoretical
perspective.
18. 27
Comprehensive Statement
Religious artworks is artistic imagery using religious
inspiration and motifs. Certain religions have rules pertaining
circumscribing the type of art work. For example in Muslim a
sculpture of Mohammad will be regarded as blasphemy rather
than a piece of religious art. Religious sculpture, painting and
architecture recognize moral narrative for the sacred “quality”(
Honour & Fleming, 2010)
Common types of religious art include:
The Egyptian pyramids
Stonehenge stone circle
The Gothic cathedrals
Taj Mahaj
Decorative art incorporates calligraphy, crafts, icons,
manuscripts, metalwork and wood carvings.
28
Comprehensive Statement
High percentage of works on this theme reflect the classical
tranquillity of sacred and moral values. Artists and their
advisors face challenges of suggesting visual terms of spiritual
mysteries. Such as visions profound in theological beliefs and
debates. Images inspire and strengthen faith through public and
private devotion. Galleries continue to be active in providing
relationship between art and religion. They provide powerful
19. narratives and beauty in their execution.

Unit V Assignment
Art Gallery: Critique
For Unit V of the art gallery presentation, you will again be
adding to your PowerPoint presentation.
For this segment, you will be adding a critique of your gallery
pieces and explaining how and if they fit into each of the art
criticism theories discussed in this course. Art Criticism
theories (formal, contextual, and expressive) help art historians
20. and critics categorize art. An artwork will not represent a
theory, but a theory can lead to a better understanding of the
artwork.
Begin by reviewing your Unit IV feedback and making any
necessary revisions.
Next, research the three art criticism theories listed in Chapter 5
of your textbook and the Unit V Lesson. Be sure to use APA
format.
Use the template slides labeled “Art Criticism Theories.”
Complete three (3) slides, one for each of the art criticism
theories: formal, contextual, and expressive
For each slide, address the following:
Describe the art criticism theory.
Tell why you feel this theory is the best fit for the artwork.
Tell how the theory explains one of your gallery artworks.
Explain how the purpose and structure of the work relate to this
theory.
Please submit your full presentation thus far, which should
include the previous updated segments and the segment for this
unit.
