Comparison between arts The objects which are picked for this assignment is The Narmer Palette and Victory Stele of Naram- Sin. The Narmer Palette was created around 31st Century BC and Victory Stele of Naram-Sin was created 2230 BCE. The Narmer Palette was created in Hierakonpolis, Egypt. The Victory Stele of Naram-Sin was created to celebrate his victory over the Lulllubi Mountain people inthe center of mountain to make it more valueable and memorable. The Narmer Palette is made of siltstone material. Siltstone is defined as sedimentary rock. The Narmer Palette is about 2.07 feet which is shaped like shield of an army warrior. The art on this Palette was carved on a single piece on both side. The

The Victory Steel of Naram-Sin depicts King Naram-Sin of Akkad leading his army to win over the lullubi people of the mountain. In the Narmer Palette, the king is represented two times as a human. He can also be depicted as the bull in the art on the slitstone which is breaking the wall or showing the anger. These both arts are similar in a way of victory and the king being the powerful guide to its people or community. The difference of these arts are that Narmer Palette shows more detailed culture of the era than the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin. The Victory Stele of Naram- Sin is showing only one view of the era which is fighting and violence. The Victory Stele of Naram-Sin can also be used as a shield like the Narmer Palette except it can be used to cover the whole person below or equal to 6 feet. Narmer Palette can be used to cover a part of the army warrior. In conclusion, both arts are beautiful piece in its own work. Narmer Palette represents the two sides of kingdoms whereas, the Victory Steel of Naram-Sin represents the upper and lower and the all of the above which is God Sun above the mountain. These arts are greatly designed and the stones which were used lasts long for
The first thing that comes to mind when one look at the Lamentation and The Death of General Wolfe painting are both of painting show death. OR The theme of both Lamentation and The Death of General Wolfe is the death of a leader, but the two paintings differ greatly in the detail and in the style. Although style and occasions are totally different. Lamentation is made by artist Saint Gorge in 1320-1350 in France. It has an Italian culture.
Both are Hispanic artists that focus on illustrating Hispanic stories and experiences. They both draw their characters in a very stylized manner and outlined them in black strokes. Although they are quite similar, they do have their differences. Diaz blends colors to create gradients to fill in his drawings while Tonatiuh collages images. Compared to Tonatiuh, Diaz has more flexibility in his style.
Every artist is different and that goes for the art too. Any piece of art looks different with the shape, style, color, or even smell sometimes. On a canvas, it could have similar brushstrokes and completely different. Also, the reason why they started to paint, either to make money, to gain status, or just for fun. Just like there is differences between artists Henrietta Johnson and John Smibert.
The stele, which is a six foot and seven inch tall (2) monument carved into pink limestone (1), was created somewhere around 2200 BC (2). Although the artist is unknown, we can see that he deserted the conventional methods of carving into layered registers, and elected instead for a consolidated and dynamic
Emphatically, this transpires as an important Egyptian archeological find, dating approximately from the thirty-first century B.C. and contains a quantity of the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions ever found. Unambiguously, Egyptologist, Bob Brier, refers to the Narmer Palette as “the first historical document in the world;” dating well before the construction of the pyramids. In fact, the stone text indisputably reveals the name of a Phoenician god, Baal-Hermon, meaning Baal of the North that presided on Mount Hermon, where the fallen angels descended.
Response Paper 1 Justin Chau For my research paper, I am going to two about two types of art throughout certain time periods in history. What I am going to compare and differentiate are types of art within the Prehistoric time period, and the Roman time period. Within time periods in general, there are artworks that are relevant throughout their existing time period, and picked up later in future generations, where people can learn about their past cultures and various types of art. For the first time period, the Prehistoric period, it includes the Paleolithic culture and its art. It is divided into three parts.
Throughout this semester as a class we have gone over many different terminology, seen many artists from all different countries and time periods. We have also learned about different kinds of art and media that the Artist work with. Over the entire semester I have gained a greater appreciation and understanding for art. Taking all of the new information that I learned this semester I choose three pieces of artwork from the St. Louis Art Museum. Two are similar to each other and the other is very different.
The author states that “[m]ost houses are of wattle and daub construction, but the shrine rooms of the more wealthy are walled with stone. Poorer families imitate the rich by applying pottery plaques to their shrine walls” (503). Stone is associated with wealth in the community. When a native sees the stone in an individual’s home, they automatically know they are in a wealthy household. This symbol of wealth stirs up emotions, so much so that other natives try to copy the rich.
This clay is more malleable and the finished product less bulky with a typically more elegant profile. Once fashioned into its finished form by Nimet’s skilled and experienced potters each piece is baked twice at temperatures up to 1200°C. After the initial firing each piece is hand drawn and painted meaning each piece of Nimet porcelain is in fact a one of a kind creation. Once embellished a generous layer of enamel is applied and another 8 hours in the kiln follows resulting in a deep, lustrous, long-lasting
While both vases showcase myth through their paintings, the style, technique and meaning of each vase is unique and profound.
4) The Uruk vase is believed to be from the Jemdet Nasr period in Uruk. It stands one meter tall and is made of alabaster. Imagery is carved onto the alabaster vessel and is put into certain levels. The bottom level contains water, the next agriculture, then livestock, after men harvesting the agriculture bounty and last at the top, the food being presented before the goddesses Inanna.

The relief of the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin and the Narmer Palette are different; the Victory Steel of Naram-Sim is sculpted in a way that is protruding immensely from the palette while the Narmer Palette is very shallow in comparison (Cunningham, Pg. 16). 2. Each Palette is depicting a battle but they each have their own uniqueness. Victory Stele of Naram-Sin is showing the Pharaoh on an ascent through a battle ground towards the gods, his foes falling at his feet as he walks and others begging for mercy (Cunningham, Pg. 16).
During the ancient times many cultures and races viewed art as something important for their lifestyles and part of their culture. Portraiture was one of the often used forms of art that either represented someone who once lived or a god that they worshipped. These forms of art were really important for various reasons, whether it was for worship, remembrance of the person or god, remembrance of an important day, tomb markers, etc. Three examples of portraitures made during the ancient times are: ‘Victory Stele of Naram-sin’, ‘Hatshepsut with Offering Jars’, and ‘Khafre Enthroned’. Each of these three pieces of art played a big role on the lives of the owners because it depicted them in the way that they wanted to be depicted.
