The Baroque art period covers the period between 1600 and
1700. This was the period when Martin Luther set off a
movement that was to change the face of the world based on his
critics of the Catholic Church as well as the supreme authority.

This was to launch of the Catholic Church that was attempting
to clear up corruption in addition to making clear cut line in its
theology and doctrine. This distinct Counter Reformation was
expressed in council of tent the Pope Paul three that gave the
Catholic Church new confidence and vigor. The council of tent
had a significant effect on art where art was used to explain to
the people about their faith since most of them were illiterate.
The council emphasized the fact that God should be worshiped
with ceremonies and rituals that found its way in Baroque art.
In Baroque art, images are dramatic. Obvious and direct, they
try to capture the viewer to take part in the scene, the setting in
the work of art are either ornamental or extravagant, there is
drastic contrast between light and dark, and uses common
themes such as grandiose, ecstasies, intense light and
psychological moments, death and martyrdom and
conversations (Robbert, 200).
Example
The Ecstasy of St. Teresa, by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, 1652
The work of art is considered as apogee of the artist and has a
number of qualities that include the following; painting, metal
sculpture and lighting effects. This is not just a sculpture but an
entire chapel where the earthly meets the Devine. In this piece
of art, St. Teresa was a nun who narrated an experience where
she met with an angle sent from up above and pierced her
innards with a spear that was full of flames. This action was a
Devine sign of love
Contemporary art
This is the art periods that has and continue to be designed or
created during our lifetime. This simply means that it is the art
that is being created and continue to be created from 1960s or
70s to the current moments. These periods are called
contemporary because they are digital where 1970s is the cut
off period where terms like postmodernism and postmodern

came into existence. Based on this terms there is the assumption
that Art diverted to modern sculpture, and paintings.Example
The contemporary Art of High Hill
The High hill piece of Art is postmodern based on its stray off
the traditional old form of arts. While these are just simple
stilettos art collection, they are out of the ordinary because they
are dripping. While this could be a message by the artist it is
somehow not clear anyone could have their own interpretation.
These two pieces of art work are very different. First the
Contemporary art could just pass as any picture in the Baroque
art period, it could be appealing to many especially women who
put on high hills, High hill could differentiate the footwear of
female from male therefore cutting across both genders where
male too who love women in high hills could be find the piece
of art appealing.
Unlike the Baroque art period, the pieced of arts are linked to
some events that happened and were mainly educative passing a
religious message. Contemporary Art does not have to have a
message behind it or an event linked to the work but just
something appealing to the eyes.

Thesis Statements
Focus your Topic
What is it?
Focusing a research topic is narrowing (orsometimes broadening
) a topic so that you can demonstrate a good
understandingof it, including enough examples and important de
tails, within the size limitsof the project you are
required to produce. You need to satisfy bothyourself and your t
eacher that you know what you are talking about.
Ifyour teacher gives you no limits, make them for yourself. You
don't want tospend your life on this, at least not
right now.

https://adams9-
id=&mode=view
Why should I do it?
This is the #1 biggest pitfall in theresearch process. If you pick
a topic that is too big, you will not only
havetrouble selecting what to include from a huge selection of
material available,you will probably leave out
some critical information that will make itapparent (especially t
o your teacher) that you don't really know what
you aretalking about.
If, on the other hand, you pick a topicthat is too narrow, you w
on't find enough to write about and end up
repeatingyourself to fill 6 pages (which doesn't go over very we
ll with teacherseither, by the way).
The process of focusing a topic takespractice, so be patient with
yourself. It is challenging when you don't
knowtoo much about a topic. It will get easier as your knowledg
e base increases. Rememberthat the research
process is a recursive onewhich means that you may need to rev
isit your topic choice more than once
ifyou find it doesn't work out. Luckily there are some strategies
and methods to help you through this critically
important part of theprocess. Read on!
How do I do it?
There are different ways to focus yourtopic. In the Related Link
s at the bottom of the page you can clickon some

different methods. Whichever method you choose (and you may
do a combination of them) try to pick something
that interests you in some way.Even if the overall subject doesn'
t seem interesting, you can pick aninteresting
angle on it.
Choose five prompts from the listbelow and write a sample thesi
s statement:
Say you have to do a research project about World War II, and y
oudon't know a thing about it,
nor are you at all interested in it. Try to find asubtopic that con
nects to your interests.
Ifyou like cars, try comparing the land vehicles used by the Ger
mans and theAmericans.
If you likefashion, look at women's fashions during the war and
how they were influencedby
military uniforms and the shortage of certain materials.
If you likeanimals, look at the use of dogs by the US Armed For
ces.
If you likepuzzles and brain teasers, look at the fascinating topi
c of decoding secretmessages.
If you like music,find out what types of music American teenag
ers were listening to during
thewar years.
If you are apacifist, find out what the anti-war movement was li
ke during the war in anycountry.
Find out whatwas happening during the war on your birth date.

Find out if anyof your relatives fought in the war and research t
hat time and place.
