Chapters 13-18 You must write at least 200 but no more than 300 words for each essay. Each essay is worth 15 points. I have included a copy of the assignment and the pdf file for the textbook. 1. What is Orientalism? What aspects of colonialism inspired Orientalism? How has it affected art, both in terms of how the subject matter was portrayed by the artist and in the ways the work has been viewed? When discussing how the works are viewed take into consideration how artist wanted their works viewed, how the art was actually viewed when it was created, and finally how we, as modern viewers see it? 2. How important was Napoleon Bonaparte’s use of art as propaganda and censorship in the rise and consolidation of his power? Choose two pieces of art commissioned by Napoleon (does not have to be from chapter 18) that support your argument of his use of art propaganda. List the title, artist, date, and medium of each piece. Refer to each piece at least three times when composing your statements. 3. Define the Protestant Reformation and the Counter Reformation. How did these two movements affect art? Choose one piece during the Reformation and one piece created during the Counter Reformation and compare and contrast the two pieces. Be sure to point out changes in style between the two periods. List the title, artist, date, and medium of each piece if known. 4. Discuss the ways in which the movement toward Realism in art reflected the social and political concerns of the nineteenth century. Choose one piece of art created in the Realism period that supports your argument. List the title, artist, date, and medium. How does this piece reveal the concerns that you mentioned in the first part of the question? Give at least three examples. 5. Compare Neoclassicism and Romanticism as two cultural expressions of mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century Europe. You must discuss the political atmosphere in both periods and how it affected art. Choose one piece of art from the Neoclassical period and one from the Romantic period that support your claim. List the title, artist, date, and medium of each piece. Refer to each of these pieces in at least three instances for this purpose. 6. Neither of these works was meant to be exhibited in a museum case for an art-loving public seeking a cultural experience. Both took on their primary meaning in the process of the performance of a cultural ritual. Discuss the ways in which an understanding of the ritual context of each is necessary if we are to grasp their cultural meanings for those who made them and saw them in use. And finally, how did they end up in museums? 7. The horrific violence of war and political oppression has been eloquently expressed by many artists throughout the history of art. Discuss the political circumstances that led to the creation of these two examples and assess how they relate to the styles of the artists and their time. Who was the audience for these works? Be sure to.

questions 1: This week, we look at several examples of early modernist* art such as post-impressionism*, cubism*, fauvism*, futurism*, and expressionism*. Let's discuss the relationships between these aesthetic categories and the sociopolitical* climate of the period, always (as we did for Rubens) describing and analyzing specific examples of these categories, as well as (as we did last week for romanticism to impressionism) questioning whether such categories express the wishes of the artists involved and/or if such terms have stuck with critics and scholars. How did the sociopolitical climate of the time period, including especially the First World War, influence artists? As always, your posts need to meet multiple rubrics to get quality-points (one rubric means one point, up to four). Comparison with present-day examples are always welcome as added ornament, but the meat and potatoes of your point-getting posts will need to focus on the years between 1904 and 1939 (just before WWII). Which artistic and philosophical sub-cultures (circles of friends, enemies, and patrons) were among the most influential in this period, and which works caused the most adoration and debate, then and now? question 2:As it's Black History Month (when is white history month? Every other one?) and you may have seen that African-American singing was my Ph.D. topic and scholarly primary-area within music history, I'd like to invite everyone to consider the particular presence of continued "race" inequities in early-20th-century arts and politics over the globe (as we discussed slaves in Greece and the portrayal of lower classes in the realist strain within romanticism). In the U.S. what used to be referred to as "the black problem" has been particularly thorny. Through most of the 19th century, by far the most-popular multimedia performance-form (music, dance, jokes, costumes) in the U.S. (with some popularity in England and elsewhere) was blackface minstrelsy, where both white and some black performers (mostly male) "blacked up" using burnt-cork and oil over their faces, while exaggerating and reddening their lips, wearing white gloves, etc., a disgusting but fascinating deep strain at the root of American popular culture. But this thread is about roughly 1890-1939; what are some ways that African-Americans began to develop their own subcultures both in the South (where the vast majority of African-Americans lived in earlier, slave years) but also growing in the North (particularly business and industrial centers). What are some artistic, political, and philosophical sub-cultures (circles of friends, enemies, and patrons) under cultivation in these years, and what are some leading products of these circles? (For instance, were the patrons of most black art also black, and how did differences of class and ethnicity tend to affect the terms of this patronage?) As always, be specific and avoid clichés, triteness, and hyperbole/exaggeration. Consider also the emergen ...

Modernism lesson 1

sandraoddy2

Discussion 1 The rise of modernism in the late 19th and early 20th century built upon the achievements of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and was associated with important changes in society and politics. In particular, the period before, between, and after the two world wars saw the emergence of new forms and styles that responded to the challenges of the era in a series of new “-isms”: Cubism, Primitivism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and others.   For your initial post, choose one artwork from the various types of modernism discussed in the module. Identify the style of the piece and discuss why and how it fits into its particular “-ism.” In what ways does the piece respond to the challenges of its day? How does the artist use the art to engage the issues that concern him or her? How is this art different from the 19th-century movements that preceded it?   100 -150 words Discussion2 The postmodern world of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century (and the art created in it) reflected on previous styles and eras and challenged almost everything that came before it. Consider the different criticisms and challenges postmodern artists and thinkers raised with reference to the art and ideas of previous generations.   In your initial post, select a work of art in any form (visual art, literature, music, performance) from the postmodern era. What ideas, beliefs, or perceptions does that work ask us to question? What “old” ways of thinking is your work trying to push aside? How? Do you think the work you chose is successful in challenging the ideas of the past? Why or why not? 100 -150 words In your initial post, respond to the following: What were the driving forces behind the three stylistic movements in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? What ideas and inspiration do we find behind Neoclassicism? What qualities were emphasized by the Romantic style? What were the artists of the Realist movement responding to in their works?   Next, choose one work of art in any form (painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, music, or dance) from either Neoclassicism, Romanticism, or Realism. Make sure that your choice was created in the time frames identified in the module. It should not be merely a depiction of something in this time period. What are the specific qualities and elements of your chosen piece that are characteristic or typical of its particular style movement? Be specific, considering not only the visual or literary details of the work, but also the message it offers. 100 -150 words .

While the Harlem Renaissance had created a flowering of African American literature, the decades after World War II saw an explosion of ethnic literature. This literature came from numerous cultures, such as Native American, Asian American, African American, and Hispanic. The authors wrote from their own traditions in response to what they saw as the mainstream of American literature and in response to one another. Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you define American ethnic literature. Include the following: Incorporate works from at least three distinct literary traditions so that your explanation is representative of the larger literary movement. Select at least one major author from each of these traditions. Describe how American ethnic literature is important and what factors influenced it. Answer the following questions in your analysis: How is American ethnic literature influential on politics and education? How does American ethnic literature respond to elements that it explicitly discusses, such as political inclusion and exclusion? How does American ethnic literature respond to factors that are not discussed as explicitly, such as technological change? Format your paper consistent with appropriate course-level APA guidelines. ...

Answer all three of the following questions per work of art shown below. You should reference your book to aid you in answering these questions. Answers should be in essay format, be a minimum of three-five sentences each, and include at least three terms from the glossary for each work. “Painting” Who is the artist? Which event does this respond to and what statement does it make? What may have inspired the image of the male figure? “Flowers on Body” What issues did this artist address in her work? What series does this particular image belong to? What themes does this image address? “Backs” What materials did the artist use in her works? How is this representative of her work? What do the forms suggest in this work? you need to utilize at least three of these terms per assignment response. Please note that some terms are carried over from previous weeks as they apply. Still, you should review all terms each week. Abstract Expressionism Also known as the New York School. The first major American avant-garde movement, Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York City in the 1940s. The artists produced abstract paintings that expressed their state of mind and that they hoped would strike emotional chords in viewers. The movement developed along two lines: gestural abstraction and chromatic abstraction. Action painting Also called gestural abstraction. The kind of Abstract Expressionism practiced by Jackson Pollock, in which the emphasis was on the creation process, the artist's gesture in making art. Pollock poured liquid paint in linear webs on his canvases, which he laid out on the floor, thereby physically surrounding himself in the painting during its creation. Assemblage An artwork constructed from already existing objects. Chromatic abstraction A kind of Abstract Expressionism that focused on the emotional resonance of color, as exemplified by the work of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. Color field painting A variant of Post-Painterly Abstraction in which artists sought to reduce painting to its physical essence by pouring diluted paint onto unprimed canvas, allowing these pigments to soak into the fabric, as exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. Conceptual art An American avant-garde art movement of the 1960s that asserted that the "artfulness" of art lay in the artist's idea rather than its final expression. Deconstruction An analytical strategy developed in the late 20th century according to which all cultural "constructs" (art, architecture, and literature) are "texts." People can read these texts in a variety of ways, but they cannot arrive at fixed or uniform meanings. Any interpretation can be valid, and readings differ from time to time, place to place, and person to person. For those employing this approach, deconstruction means destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while encouraging subjectivity and individual differences. Earthworks An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. .
