But I love the history of art, from the prehistoric times to today. It&#8217;s a fascinating topic, and I want to share with everyone my knowledge about that field.<\/p>\n<p>How can you not love it? It is about everything, from architecture to sculpture, from painting to photography. All the great artists are there, as well as their masterpieces. You can learn about them and get inspired by their creations. There are some myths about famous artists that I also intend to debunk in this blog. And of course, I will also provide a bunch of information about artworks that you may find useful or interesting in some way.<\/p>\n<p>Art has been around since antiquity, and it is still evolving up until now. So if you want to discover more about it, keep visiting my blog!<\/p>\n<p>Art history is an interesting subject for a blog. It can be approached from many different angles, and there are a lot of good books that approach it from various angles.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, art is really just one thing: it&#8217;s the stuff you hang on walls. The medium changes, but not the idea of what art is. You can&#8217;t really understand what art is without understanding its history &#8212; but the history is in the books, not in the paintings.<\/p>\n<p>Art comes from Latin ars, for skill. It isn&#8217;t a science like physics, not an investigation into nature. It&#8217;s about how you do things: what works and what doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>Art has always been a luxury good, so that means it has to be expensive to make and cheap to sell. The job of the artist has been to make something that looks original and impressive while actually being easy and cheap to produce &#8212; like a painting of someone else&#8217;s face that looks just like yours.<\/p>\n<p>Art isn&#8217;t really something you make as much as something you talk about when you want to impress people with your taste or knowledge or education or social status or wealth or all five at once.<\/p>\n<p>A gallery used to be just a place where people hung paintings. Now it&#8217;s a place where pain<\/p>\n<p>Art is one of the oldest forms of human expression, which still has a great impact on people&#8217;s lives today. Art is a form of visual communication, using symbols to express ideas and feelings. The artist uses his talent to share with others his views on life, history, politics and the world around him. The art of any given period reflects the styles and traditions that are prevalent at that time, as well as the values and beliefs of the society that produces it.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this blog is to provide a platform for the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of art history. It aims to provide a meaningful historical context in which to view and discuss contemporary art, as well as enriching the experience of viewing traditional works.<\/p>\n<p>Art history is not a major you are supposed to take. The courses are at night, so it is a great thing for students who have to work during the day and can&#8217;t spend all their time in classes. I am so happy that I found this major and I am looking forward to taking more art history courses in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like it is an amazing course to study because you get to learn about art from around the world and throughout history. It gives you a chance to be creative, to think creatively, and to look at things differently from everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Tone:matter-of-fact<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Pollock is one of the most famous modern painters. His art is highly valued and he has become a symbol of the abstract expressionist movement. But was he really so great?<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Pollock was an incredibly skilled and talented painter, but we must look at his art in context to understand it completely. Abstract expressionism was an American movement that was founded in the 1940s. It represented the struggle to understand what it meant to be a human being after the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. The artists were trying to make sense of their world, just as everyone else was.<\/p>\n<p>Artists like Pollock tried to reflect their experiences in their artwork, which is why they painted large splatter images that vaguely resembled human figures. They also used this technique as a way to express all of the emotions they felt so that others could see them; not just see them, but feel them too. This can be seen through one of Pollocks most famous paintings, Number 19 1948 .<\/p>\n<p>The image shows a large canvas with black paint splattered all over it. When viewed up close, however, it becomes clear that there are humanlike shapes hidden in the painting. This is one of the ways in which Pollock communicates his emotions: by saying something and<\/p>\n<p>It is commonly supposed that art is a practice which produces objects of intrinsic aesthetic value. The important thing, however, is not what we think art is, but how we treat it.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts defines art as &#8220;a creative activity in which individuals and groups are engaged in making works which, within a cultural context, are considered to be aesthetic.&#8221; Art history is therefore not a matter of establishing whether a particular object is or is not art; it is a matter of establishing the cultural context in which such an object can be considered to be art.<\/p>\n<p>Art historians attempt to understand the unique appeal of an individual work \u2013 or the broader appeal of the artistic period or style within which it was created \u2013 in terms of its cultural significance: its purpose and function; its place in the historical and social context from which it emerged; the intentions and ideals of its makers, creators, and subjects; and its impact on later artists and societies.<\/p>\n<p>As an academic discipline, art history has its intellectual origins in 18th-century antiquarianism, itself inspired by Renaissance humanism. Art historians were concerned with compiling precise catalogs of works of art in order to distinguish genuine pieces from forgeries. In some cases they succeeded: many accepted<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z7ECzduUWx0?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cwBoP-zw17A?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Art is a very subjective topic, and it is hard to choose what you like and what you don&#8217;t.
