In As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner uses wood as a symbol to demonstrate the degree to which each character grows and changes over the course of the novel. On one hand, wood can be seen as a representation of rigidity and a refusal to change. On the other hand, due to the fact that wood exists in many different forms – as a vertically oriented tree or as horizontally oriented planks – it is also used to outline the distinction between horizontal and vertical movement. Whereas horizontal motion represents progress, vertical orientation signifies fixation to one place and retaining a connection to one’s background. Anse is a character associated solely with vertical orientation, preventing him from experiencing any significant change. Jewel

This Detail of Yakushi is an incredible sculpture that originates from the Yakushi Triad. It shows a Japanese Buddha sitting on a throne. His left hand is raised with his index finger and thumb touching each other. This Buddha is made of a brown metal that has black rust spots on it from age. The artist, Tori Bushii was a very purposeful in making his robes look as if they are draping around him. There are little wrinkles in the fabric that help to bring the statue to life. He has a head piece on that is made of shells. He has a very blunt nose and big eyebrows. His eyes are half way shut which makes him look more relaxed. His lips are pressed together and he almost has a distasteful look on his cheeks. He has giant earrings that hang half way down his neck. His legs are crossed and you can see the top of one of his feet. Bushii was so detailed he even carved toenails onto this sculpture. The back of this throne is made of gold. It has a bunch of Buddha’s sitting in the same position as him sticking out and there are many fluid designs carved into it that look

The world is full of outstanding and magnificent things, but due to the effects of human nature and the constant change ones’ world goes through the once magnificent objects lay waste in forgotten fields and valleys. In “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley and “By the Water of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benet, the idea of our ever-changing world is presented to us in two different ways. Throughout each literary work the authors use connotation, symbols, and metaphors to present the readers with two themes that greatly coincide with one another.

Her image is gory with a garland of human skull around her neck and no head on her shoulder. The chopped off head teaches us that we should never limit ourselves only to mind. It is a movement that also includes the aspect of heart in the picture and prepares a person for attaining

The biggest similarity between both sculptures is the delicate detail provided to the both figures. The big muscles, tilted brow and the beaten up look of ‘Seated Boxer’s’ body shows the nature rule of human figure and the strength of the human body. ‘David’s’ lean and smaller form show the little details of the male form, and ‘David’ is very balance between confidence and strength of male with the arrogant emotional and combined part of male and female (Allen, 2014). In both the Hellenistic and early Italian Renaissance periods; the human form became a study for artists and sculptors, because of the difficulty in accurate to recreate it, so that the perfection becomes a goal to achieve by the time. Furthermore, the Greeks also find a fact that successful sculptures are those pieces that actually could imply the religion and show strength of men in both physically and mentally. In short, in both cultures; the human form is given a lot of importance. The Hellenistic Greeks thought that man was the measure of everything (Castelle, Coquinot & Bourgarit, 2016). It is the reason why most sculptures are made that treated as God as importance. In the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century, people also think the human form was beautiful, think men belong to nature so they are being capable of many things then females. ‘Seated Boxer’ and ‘David’ both express the beauty of humanity and the artistic desire to

Artifact 1: Hermes Kriophoros, or the Ram Bearer, is a Greek bronze statuette belongs to the period of about 510-490 B.C.E. The statue represents bearded Hermes holding a ram in his left arm, both are carved in great detail. He is wearing a typical short, belted Greek tunic and a small-brimmed hat. The wing on his right foot was lost but the left one is still intact with detailed curves. It seems that the sculpture used to hold a herald’s staff of the Olympian messenger in his right hand.

I chose to go to the Martian Luther king jr museum and decided to express my opinion on the statue The Stone of Hope. The stone of hope is a statue of Martin Luther king jr who was an iconic civil rights activist in his time. This statue has many different elements in this “replica” like statue compared to the actual statue in Washington D.C.

In Art 100 we are discusiing Ancient Egypt and the inpact it had on Africa and countries. For our first assigment which is located in the Brooklyn Museum of Art, I visited the Egyptian Gallery which is located on the third floor.

The Classical statues are simpler and more precise in portraying the subject, while the Hellenistic Statues are more detailed and express greater emotions. Glykon uses the Hellenistic Style to allow the viewer to see a more unrealistic sculpture depicting emotion and passion. Classical Style was a way of realistically expressing the artist’s perspective on what he thought something should look like. The sculpture, Farnese Hercules, expresses the tired and weariness of Hercules’ face. His downcast eyes and expression in his face has earned this sculpture another name, Weary Hercules. In the Discobolus sculpture, the discuss thrower shows little emotion through his face, but realistically depicting the artist’s view of a perfect

Statues are powerful, three-dimensional forms of art that can represent a broad range of figures and legends. Statues are visually appealing and naturalistic, and are used as gifts, memorials and emblems. The 16th century statue of the Siren, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of a mythological legend (fig. 1). The Colonna family of Rome once used the statue as an emblem. The image of the siren was found to be on furniture, ceiling decorations and on their tombs . The Siren illustrates the ways in which Roman artists appropriated Greek culture by creating depictions of mythological figures and incorporated them into everyday life.

Ozymandias shows how power is temporary as shown through the imagery on the statue and irony of the phrase on the statue 's base.

“Sculpted monuments...testify to the high artistic achievements of imperial sculptors under Augustus and a keen awareness of the potency of political symbolism” (“Augustan Rule,” 2000). It is not through just images though that Augustus reinforces this careful balance and understanding of art as an influence on personal appearance. Augustus also supported, “a social and cultural program enlisting literature and the other arts revived time-honored values and customs, and promoted allegiance to Augustus and his family.” (“Augustan Rule,” 2000). Therefore, Augustus did not purely focus on just physical structures or images but, he also utilized the growing prominence of Roman

The mask of Agamemnon, the bust of Trajan Decius, and the statue of Ekkehard are three ancient pieces that share several key characteristics including their rich history and the importance of the people represented buy these works. On the other hand, however, in terms of the visual aspects and composition each piece varies moderately from the other. The visual, stylistic, historical, and cultural aspects of every art piece is exhibited by each person that the pieces showcase.

“Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind (The Art Story).” This quote belongs to one of the most famous female sculptors in America, Louise Nevelson. Louise Nevelson was born on September 23, 1899 in Kiev, Russia (The Art Story). According to The Art Story Contributors, she, along with her family, moved to Maine in 1905 and by 1908, she had known she wanted to be an artist. Nevelson worked with Hans Hofmann, Diego Rivera, George Grosz, and also met with Frida Kahlo, all of which are well-known for their artistic abilities. At the beginning of her career, she wasn’t well-known mostly due to not fitting in with the likes of museum curators. At the time, her art and sculptures were kept to a smaller size but as she grew
