My topic is;

The Language of Flowers in Victorian Art

• How flowers were used by 19th-century artists to communicate hidden meanings about love, purity, death, and femininity in Victorian culture. My presentation will explore on how artists incorporated these meanings to shape how viewers understood a paintings story and themes.

PLEASE this is my Final Project. Please write phenomenally and lots of visual. Remember, it’s 3-5 minutes but please do not write so vague/rushed.

This discussion/essay covers the Drawing chapter from your textbook and explores why some drawings were created. I have given you a format to follow by breaking down the essay into four paragraphs. Please read your chapter first and review the instructor video.

You should have one different drawing example for each paragraph (2- 4). Points will be deducted if your examples are not a clear match with the purpose. Be sure that your examples are drawings from the drawing chapter. You will receive a zero on the rubric if your example is not from the 2.1 chapter. Please note that there are a few images in the chapter that are not drawings. Do not use those as your example.

Points will be deducted for grammatical errors, not referencing examples correctly, and not writing in complete sentences.

Once your grade is posted, please view the rubric to see how your answer was graded. There may also be comments within each category of the rubric. The due date for this discussion will populate on the calendar as Monday to allow for your two responses, but your answer should be posted by Friday.

Paragraph 1: Discuss the statement: Drawing is the basis of all visual communication, for your opening paragraph. Do you agree or disagree? You can discuss charcoal cave drawings, a toddler with a crayon, or even a set designer sketching out where the lighting will fall on stage. For the next three paragraphs, think about the reason the artist created the drawing.

Paragraph 2: Find an example of a drawing from your textbook that can be used to show a finished piece, a complete work of art (as an end to itself). Argue your point and provide the title, artist, and text reference number of each with a brief description. Hint: Often, if the artist meant the piece to be seen it will be signed.

Paragraph 3: Find an example of a drawing from your textbook that can be used to show a record of an observation or to enhance the skill of drawing (to think). Argue your point and provide the title, artist, and text reference number of each with a brief description. Hint: Is this from a sketchbook from the artist? Even though the general public looks at a sketch from a now famous artist, they probably never meant for others to see it.

Paragraph 4: Find an example of a drawing from your textbook that can be used to show a plan for a larger work of art. Keep in mind that sometimes the larger work will be in a different medium. Argue your point and provide the title, artist, and text reference number of each with a brief description. Hint: If an architect makes a drawing of a new project, that drawing is not the building (end in itself), it is just the plan, or it could be a drawing of another object which helps her think of how to proceed with the plan. If an artist is planning a work in his sketchbook, he is not creating this drawing for people to see as a complete work, ready to hang on a wall. What a lot of pressure that would be!

This is a mini exhibition – mix between essay and project. all instructions are attatched feel free to ask any questions. for the sources follow the instructions i just put 5. will give a big tip at end for a very well done job

Ive already started a PowerPoint. Have chose three sculptural reliefs but have jot typed any information on them.

Anatomy of a Sacred Spaceformal analysis of Romanesque and Gothic Architecture.

CONTEXT:

• In architecture practical needs form a greater part of the decision making process in designing and creating a building. Below you will find various aspects of a building that can be analyzed. The terms in bold are the generic areas that apply to all buildings. The questions are how these might convey the idea of sacred space clearly in your writing and discussion.
• Sacred space and sites
• DefinitionSacred= That which is holy, related to religion, God.
• For a structure or space to be designated sacred, it must be related to a cultures religious beliefs. When creating a sacred space or structure meant for religious devotion, social, or cultural factors play a large role in determining how and where the space or structure is created. The finished product reflects the religious beliefs of the culture that created it. REMEMBER THERE IS A DISTINCTION MADE BETWEEN SECULAR AND SACRED SPACES IN ALL CULTURES. How a space is made sacred is the focus of your response.

Part 1. “Anatomy of a Sacred Space” is a formal analysis of Romanesque AND Gothic architecture.

A. Select one Romanesque style cathedral/church, and one Gothic style cathedral/church from the resources in the eBook. Be sure these are from the correct time/period (check the dates). Begin by labeling each cathedral/church by Title, style, and location/country.

For reference, ‘Romanesque style’ is roughly any church/cathedral built during the 6th through 11th century.

For reference, ‘Gothic style’ is from the late 12th to the 16th, in some European areas stretching into the late 17th and 18th C.

B. Compare and contrast both architectural styles by Topic, as listed belownumber ALL ANSWERS. Type in the same order as listed; answer briefly in 2 to 3 complete sentences for each Topic.

You must insert effective cohesive devices and transitions in your sentences throughout this mastery, such as: compared with, equally, similarly, in comparison, in contrast, instead, on the contrary; however, likewise, on the other hand.

C. Format

• PowerPoint arrangement or Word Document file types.
• Add art images to illustrate your comparisons, (maximum 2 per Topic).
• Begin by listing both examples by Title, style, location/country.
• Label all answers by Topic and number, as outlined (in bold type)
• Options for Topic comparisons:
• either block-by-block (all of the Romanesque answers, then the Gothic);
• or, a side-by-side arrangement (Romanesque with Gothic answers).

Topic 1: The Floor Plan (the horizontal layout of spaces)

• What shape does the floorplan make? (specify by distinctive floor plan such as central dome, Latin cross, cruciform, hall church, etc.).
• Focal pointdoes one part seem most important (notice the altar, transept, nave, side aisles, narthex). Compare which of these parts emphasizes the idea of sacred.

Topic 2: Orientation (how the building sits on its site)

• Compare the main portal entrances–does it face a particular direction (specify by east, west, north, south)?… How do you approach and enter the building?
• And, is the building vertically oriented or does it have earthbound, horizontal lines?
• Is the orientation significant or symbolic in some way?

Topic 3: Site (where the building is physically located)

• List the country of origin, city/town.
• Site is an area of ground and geographical location on which something is constructed. Compare/contrast where the building is placed in relation to where the people live or travel?…is it on a mountaintop; near some spot considered holy by that or earlier cultures?…or, is it in the center of the city; is it surrounded by a park or special ground treatment (gardens)?

Topic 4: Structure (how is it built)

• Compare any of the 3 or 4 structural characteristics that identify Romanesque and Gothic styles.
• Key terms: arch style, ceiling/vaulting designs; nave, aisles, and specific added supports, etc.

Topic 5: Medium (the material of which the building is made)

• Compare the variety of materials used.
• How do the materials contribute to the buildings purpose? For example, marble is associated with dignity and permanence; brick suggests warmth and handcraftsmanship; wood can be manipulated in many ways from roughness or smoothness.
• Consider the process and technique in both construction and ornamentation; craftsmanship.

Topic 6: Ornamentation (the embellishment of surface, addition or architectural sculpture, color, etc.)

• What type of decoration is used on the building? Consider the exterior designs with emphasis on the portals, tympanums, stained glass (compare the narratives/stories).
• How does this decorative carving connect to the religious beliefs of the people?
• If relevant, what is the role of colordoes it symbolize something, clarify form especially in the characteristic window designs?

Topic 7: Scale (the size of the building)

• Compare some of the measurements (search: specific length, width, height).
• Is it monumental, human size, etc.?…How would it make the person feel when in front of it or inside it?

Topic 8: Function (the use or purpose of the building)

• How was the building usedtomb, a place of worship, a shrine, pilgrimage/use of relics?… If a tomb, how does it function according to the cultures religious beliefs?
• Who was allowed in it?
• Where did worship take placeif is/was a place of worship?…and, who was worshiped? (Hint: there was a dramatic departure from the Ancients to Christian times).

I am choosing West faade of abbey church of Saint-Denis. ca. 113740 for the Gothic and of Santa Costanza, Rome, Italy for the Romanesque

i want to rewrite the assignment so that can avoid Plagarism.

link to visual reference 1 of indigenous artist from 19th century.

This is the second visual reference I am utilizing: https://share.google/aimode/SbGRvGJKrmfUrFLAv

Kindly refer to the rubric below however I will copy and paste this: NSTRUCTIONS

Select two primary visual sourcesone that you argue attempts to categorize or

“scientifically” prove racial difference (e.g., a comparative anatomy diagram, a

physiognomic study, or one of the Zealy Daguerreotypes ) and one that visually resists or

challenges such categorization (e.g., a work by Adrian Piper, or an early artwork by an

Indigenous artist).

Develop a thesis statement that articulates the complex, often contradictory relationship

between these two images. Your paper should address the following:

Analysis of Visual Rhetoric: How do the selected images visually construct or

deconstruct racial categories? Analyze elements like composition, gaze, medium,

and context.

Theories of Race and Vision: Relate your visual analysis to the assigned readings

from Weeks 5-7, specifically:

o The 18th-century “invention” of race through texts by Bernier, Voltaire, Kant,

and Blumenbach.

o The idea of “Racecraft”.

o The problem of objectivity in vision and the use of photography as “scientific

evidence”.

o The concept of the Spectacle of the Other.

Context and Critique: Discuss the specific historical and social context in which

the images were produced and circulated. Argue how the resistant image provides a

critique of the racializing strategies found in the other.

*You must use at least two readings from the syllabus in addition to two outside sources,

such as scholarly books or peer-reviewed articles. Websites do not count as scholarly

sources.

PLEASE MAKWE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ;CITE 2 PEER REVEIWED SOURCES ( not sourced for you) 2 VISUAL SOURCES (PROVIDED) AND 2 ARTICLES (Racecraft which I provided notes for and secondly I provided Francois Bernier, A new division of the Earth)

In one of the Google Docs provided I wrote an a thesis your encouraged to use or reinterpret, and I provided the rubric.

1. Compare and contrast ziggurats, mastabas, and pyramids. Choosing at least 3 or 4 specific

examples, consider their different styles, functions, and cultural significance and discuss specific details

of layout, construction, use, and overall effect.

2. Discuss how the roles of women in different times and cultures weve studied shift; build your

discussion around how women are depicted in the art weve studied so far and what this tells us about

their roles in their respective cultures. Choosing 3 or 4 works of art to compare, discuss these changes in

terms of subjects, sexuality, proportions, poses, clothing, realism, idealism, and abstraction (just address

a few of these).

discuss differences in subject, message, style, composition, and how they are incorporated into the space

of the object or architecture.

5. Discuss the various treatments of the human figure as it has been portrayed in the art weve studied

(naturalistic, idealized, abstracted, etc.). Choosing 3 or 4 works of art to compare, discuss these changes

in terms of proportions, poses, clothing, realism, idealism, and abstraction (just address a few of these).

Things to note:

1. This is not a research assignment; please use your own words and don’t use sources

other than your textbook and class discussions.

2. Most of your points come from visual description of specific artwork. If you don’t

visually describe any specific works of art or architecture, you will not earn any points for your

essays (and will not pass the exam).

3. I am interested in your own opinion! State your own thoughts and then back them up

with visual evidence (i.e., visual description of specific artworks).

In your initial post, address the following prompt: Japan continues to be a leader in graphic arts. In the contemporary world, we see things like Hello Kitty, Manga graphics, and artists like Takashi Murakami. Review the Japanese images from the lecture, then use an internet search engine to find more examples of Japanese prints as well as a modern examples of Japanese graphic arts. Using your examples (one historical, one modern), describe how Japanese artists blend traditional art with the contemporary?

the topic I chose is IDENTITY ART In spite of the changes predicted in the new millennium, late 20th century topics are still relevant today including postmodernism (has it really gone away?), feminism, and identity art. Art in developing countries has emerged as ethnic identity, reevaluating cultural assumptions no longer relevant to Western cultures but as a global expression questioning the true meaning of art.
