The Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, New York is a 500-acre sculpture park and museum founded 50 years ago. It displays over 100 sculptures by influential artists in naturalistic landscapes. Placement and presentation of the sculptures is carefully considered to enhance the landscape. Native plants are used to subtly frame and support the sculptures, creating seamless integration of art and nature.
Korean art forms include painting, masks, and knot tying. Korean paintings often feature landscapes, Buddhist topics, and celestial observations. Mountains and water are common landscape elements. Korean masks, called tal, were used in religious rituals and theater to banish spirits. They later became part of elaborate dances by the 12th century. Mask colors symbolize aspects like age, race, and parentage. Some masks have moving parts. Knot tying in Korea, known as maedeup, features decorative knots like the dorae double connection knot.
Minhwa, or Korean folk art paintings, convey Korean mythology, religion, and culture. They were traditionally created anonymously to decorate homes and celebrate occasions. Two major categories are paintings that wish for good luck and repel evil spirits. Common symbols include the sun, moon, pine trees, and animals believed to bring good fortune and longevity. One famous example is the royal folding screen depicting the sun, moon, and five peaks, representing the monarchy's governance. Minhwa provide insights into traditional Korean agrarian life, values, and spirituality.
The document discusses Pablo Picasso's quote about artists who can transform a yellow spot into the sun through their art and intelligence. It then provides definitions and brief descriptions of different genres of painting, including landscape painting, battle painting, seascape painting, still life, self-portrait, and the Hudson River School of American landscape painting. It notes Thomas Cole as the founder of the Hudson River School and provides short biographies of several prominent Hudson River School artists, including Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Edwin Church, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Asher Brown Durand, and William and James McDougal Hart.
Chinese clothing symbolizes culture and communicates vitality. Archaeological evidence shows ornamentation and sewing were used in ancient China. Ancient Chinese clothing favored darker colors that were meant to represent different seasons, and a system of color matching was used. Modern Chinese clothing combines ancient symbols of good fortune with modern fashion aesthetics, using traditional motifs and designs from imperial robes and incorporating them with new fabrics and styles. Traditional Chinese designs, techniques, and customs continue to influence modern Chinese clothing styles.

The document discusses the influence of traditional Chinese fashion on Western fashion over time. It began with the Silk Road connecting China to other countries over 2000 years ago. As trade increased, Chinese elements like the Hanfu, Qipao, accessories, and fabrics inspired Western designers. The Qipao evolved from a Manchu dress to China's national dress. The Mao suit also became popular for Chinese men. Major brands now incorporate traditional Chinese elements into their designs.

It also has practical uses, like Chinese bronze vessels for food and drink, and aesthetic purposes, like Japanese woodblock prints and landscape paintings viewed during tea ceremonies. The best known woodblock print is The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai.

A permanent Japonisme display [New Jersey]S.E. Thompson
The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University has inaugurated the first permanent display devoted to Japonisme, the international aesthetic movement documenting the cultural exchange between Japan and the West from the mid-19th to early 20th century. Though the works are not masterpieces, the gallery effectively presents the admiration, disdain, and misunderstandings Western artists had in adapting Japanese culture in their works. It also shows the positive and negative depictions Japanese artists had when incorporating Western culture into their works. The display provides rich evidence of the shaping of 19th-century European modernism and East Asian art through this cultural exchange.

Abstract
The paper will provide an overview of two peer reviewed definitions of art. Art is defined differently be different people and has changed overtime. The paper will also provide descriptions of different pieces of art and their artistic significance.
ART
Part One
Art is defined differently by different people. The traditional definition of art was proposed by George Dickie his book Art and the Aesthetic (Torres, 2000). The definition proposed by Dickie (1969) is “a work of art in the classificatory sense is (1) an artifact (2) a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution.” This definition is still true today. Art is an artifact and it is completely subjective. What some people find beautiful others do not. If the artifact is appreciated and admired then it can be counted as a piece of art.
The definition also finds the artifact is only art if it is presented to the art world. This is not always the case because art is created in many different conditions and does not always get presented to the art world. Monroe Beardsley's definition holds that an artwork: “either an arrangement of conditions intended to be capable of affording an experience with marked aesthetic character or (incidentally) an arrangement belonging to a class or type of arrangements that is typically intended to have this capacity” (Beardsley, 1982, p. 299). This functional definition basically finds art is an experience and its aesthetic properties.
Part Two
Painting:The painting located online is Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘A Starry Night”. This is an oil painting on canvas depicting a beautiful, starry night over a small city. In the painting the stars twinkle brightly in the sky and the half moon glows. This famous painting is breathtaking and eye catching. This amazing painting was created in 1889 from memory and is considered one of the most popular paintings in art. Van Gogh is an Impressionist painter who uses a bright palate to create this masterpiece. This painting exemplifies the meaning of art because it is an artifact when view causes a reaction by the person viewing the painting. While art is hard to define this painting is considered art by all and loved by many.
Sculpture: One of the most beautiful sculptures is the Bronze David created by Donatello in 1440. The sculpture is cast completely in bronze and depicts David after he defeats the giant, goliath. David is completely nude with one foot on Goliaths head and a smirk on his face. David is only wearing a hat and a pair of boots and is holding the sword of goliath in one of his hands. This sculpture is both masterful and beautiful and depicts an important story in the Bible. David has long hair and has his left hand on his hip. This sculpture is a historical piece of art but ...
The document provides an overview of Japanese art focusing on printmaking and textile work. It discusses the early printmaker Suzuki Harunobu and one of his prints called "Fashionable Seven Komachi Transformed". It also discusses the later printmaker Ogata Gekko and one of his prints called "From Temple Balcony". Finally, it mentions the textile artist Sonoko Sasaki and her dedication to traditional Japanese textiles. The document aims to give readers a sense of the style, social values, and historical importance of art in Japan.

An Appreciation of Art--It comes in Waves
The world that surrounds us, the magnificent beauty of nature in itself, is a work of art.
Landscape art falls under the category of Contemporary Arts, a subdivision of the Visual Arts.
Our environment, whether it is the beauty of a sunset, the magnificence of a vast mountain, a
flowing, peaceful river, or the greenery of a forest, it captures our hearts, inspires creativity, and
provides many people with an inner peace. Charles Caleb Colton is credited with saying
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” (Martin, 2015). It is for this reason we will do an in-
depth analysis of one of the most reproduced works of art in Japanese history, a woodblock print
known as The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, by Katsukisha Hokusai.
Introduction of the Piece and the Elements of Visual Design
The Great Wave Off Kanagawa is the first print in a series of prints titled Thirty-six views
of Mount Fuji, which Hokusai created from 1830-1833. The prints became popular among
tourists and religious zealots, as souvenirs who often made the pilgrimage to climb the sacred
Mount Fuji. The series popularity resulted in the creation of ten additional prints. The six
elements of visual design are listed as line, space, light and color, texture, pattern, and time and
motion (Sayre, 2013). Hokusai studied linear perspective in Western prints that reached Japan
via Dutch trade and created a Japanese variant of linear perspective. Evidence of the Dutch
influence in his work is use of a low horizon line, and the wave was colored with a brand new
beautiful blue pigment color called Prussian Blue (Nirel, 2015). The curved upward lines of the
enormous wave in the foreground create a claw-like crest. The monstrous wave is about to crash
down on three boats of Japanese fishermen possibly symbolizing the power of nature and

exactly the same outline as Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji, which appears miniscule in the background,
looks as though it will also be swallowed up by the wave. It is said that Hokusai studied waves
for over thirty years before creating his masterpiece. The top of the wave creates a diagonal line
that leads the viewer’s eye directly to the mountaintop. White water spray falling from the
crashing wave could easily be interpreted as snow falling on Mount Fuji (Harris, 2015). Implied
lines from the crashing wave suggest the forces of gravity and direction of the seas surface and
travel from left to right. Hokusai is reported as saying that since Japanese read from right to left,
it gives the perspective of splashing in the viewer’s face (Tyrrell, 2011).
The Great Wave In Relation to the Five Principles of Visual Design
In the textbook A World of Art, 7th ed. Sayre describes in detail the five principles of
visual design. They are listed as 1) balance 2) emphasis and focal point 3) scale and proportion
4) repetition and rhythm 5) unity and variety. Hokusai’s great wave is considered a masterpiece
of unity, harmony and balance painted from the perspective of the sea. He creates unity by
careful organization of repetitions in shapes, colors, textures and patterns to create a visual
harmony in a chaotic nature scene. The composition is arranged to frame Mount Fuji, even
though the large wave is the focal point. The colors are simple tones of pale yellows, whites, and
dark blues and the color scheme of the waves are monochromatic. Nothing really stands out
color wise and everything mirrors each other visually, like the boats to the sky and the waves to
Mount Fuji. The interesting thing about the visual composition of the piece is it is perfectly
balanced with a variety of opposites. They are 1) the movement of the ocean versus the solid
fixed point of Mount Fuji, a symbol that signifies stillness and eternity to the Japanese people 2)
the contrasts of dark versus light 3) a calm sky versus a turbulent sea and 4) a tiny mountain

(which is actually 12,000 feet high and the highest mountain in Japan) versus an enormous wave.
The repetition of the color of the fisherman's hats and clothes and their small size suggest that in
the natural world, people are insignificant.
Significance of the Artist and the Great Wave
Katsushika Hokusai, was born in 1760 in Edo (now Tokyo), and learned to paint from his
father. During this time, Japan was in a state of Feudalism, and very much isolated from the rest
of the world, with only limited trade with China and Holland allowed. He started work as a
woodblock engraver at fifteen years old as an apprentice. At eighteen years old he was admitted
into the Katsukawa Art Studio (htt4). Hokusai is considered Japan’s most famous artist and
believed to produce over 30,000 prints over the course of his lifetime. In the 1850’s, American
naval commodore Matthew C. Perry forced trade to open up with Japan and the West. In 1867,
Hokusai’s work was on display at the International Exposition in Paris, and a craze for collecting
Japonisme art ensued. Hokusai’s works of were said to be great sources of inspiration for the
great artists Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, and the French impressionist composer Claude
Debussy. As mentioned before, imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery. Although the
Great Wave was created in 1831, this great work of art is still on display at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York, the British Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago and
the National Library of France (Nirel, 2015). The piece was featured in a British Broadcasting
Company (BBC) documentary series called The Private Life of a Masterpiece as well as the
subject of episode 93 of the BBC series A History of the World in 100 Objects, broadcast in
September 2010. The print is also the inspiration for the Quicksilver surf and clothing company
logo. Big Wave Surfing is famous on the North Shore of Hawaii. A legendary lifeguard and

surfer from Hawaii, named Eddie Aikau, was lost at sea trying to rescue people from a capsized
canoe. Quicksilver now sponsors “The Eddie”, a Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie
Aikau at Waimea Bay. Art is said to inspire, and even though the Great Wave off of Kanagawa
is monstrous, and that Landscape Art depicts people as insignificant in comparison to nature,
most Hawaiian people believe that to save the fishermen’s lives, “Eddie Would Go.”
