    The centerpiece of the piece is obviously Mary, though she is on the right side of the painting. In one hand she holds an open bible, and she holds her other hand up in prayer while she is looking down with her eyes almost completely shut. She has a halo surrounding her head as gold rays shine down on her from god, carrying Jesus to her. There is also a dove surrounded by gold above her head. This was a very common Christian symbol used to represent the Holy Spirit.…

    The desire for the finer things in life is eternal, and the strive for beauty and elegance can be seen in all ages. In regards to Islamic pottery, the elaborate and decorative nature of pieces from Kashan cannot be beaten. Now I will analyze a specific production from Kashan, a lustre bowl produced during the Seljuq Period (11th to 13th centuries), labeled as “Object D-12” in the UCSB Jewel Room and depicted below: In this image one can see the same line of eyebrows, drawn out eyes, and thin lips on the center figure that can also be seen on the polo player of Object D-12. Both men also have a halo surrounding them, enshrining them with a sense of importance and holiness. In this piece, dated at the early 13th century, the center figure appears…

    Through observation, the major principle utilized in both “Akhenaten, Nefertiti and three daughters,” on page 630 and “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli on page 662 was asymmetrical balance. The objects in the art appeared balanced on all sides regardless of not being “equal” on all sides. It appears to be evenly balanced although there appears to be varying levels of action at different points in the painting. The asymmetrical balance created a complimentary balance through using distinctly different elements in order to maintain equal visual weight. Naturally, the eyes tend to move from the larger much heavier part of the art to the lighter part. The perspective of the onlooker moved from the same perspective of the artist and generally skews left to right or…

    The painting has linear perspective and in the horizon there are hills and buildings. The size of the figures in the painting diminishes as they reach the background, also depicting perspective. The vanishing point of the painting appears to be just above the middle of the pictures, where a crucifix is shown. The painting is symmetrical. There are about seven people on the right side of the painting while on the left side there is only two men, one kneeling and one standing. The left side of the painting is balanced by the amount of buildings in the horizon.…

    The swastika (from Sanskrit svástika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form. Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period and was first found in the Indus Valley Civilization of the Indian Subcontinent. It occurs today in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol; it remains widely used in Eastern and Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.…

    A white one-inch boarder inscribed with a Qur’anic verse runs along the edge of the star, while the inside is decorated with white floral designs. The two tiles have different verses along the boarders and different designs in the middle. The use of glazed ceramics for architectural decorations continued into the modern era culminating in the Ottoman and Safavid empires. Both religious and secular buildings were beautifully decorated and tiled. These two star tiles were meant to be part of an interlocking grid pattern, probably the interior of a religious shrine. It is believed that they are from the Imamzada Yahra shrine in…

    Safavid Essay

    The design in the corner is a piece of the full design that includes many small floral designs and geometric patterns throughout. There are also floral designs included throughout. The signature Safavid blue on the tile is used throughout the piece. The Safavid style for tile making was developed in Iran from the 1500’s. It depicted human being and floral scrollwork, but human figures only became important after the empire was established. When the court moved from Isfahan, style changed because of Riza-i-Abbasi. Slim, standing figures were replaced with short, sitting figures. Floral work was most common in their time though because of the simplicity and beauty it could bring. I also included some red, yellow, and green in the art in the corner because throughout the empire, they added other colors that were influenced by their neighboring empires. Some of the flowers have actual petals and others are outlines of flowers because they weren’t as important in the design. Although the Safavids evolved their tile making, tiles in Persian architecture remained closer to traditional designs of flowers and floral patterns with geometric shapes. The persians had an infinite pattern which was a major element in tile making. It is thought to give an expression of profound belief in the eternity of all true being. They then used whole tiles as a faster method of decorating large public and religious buildings. Tile making was a very important art in Safavid culture and provided much…

    The image I chose to write about is called Emperor Justinian and His Attendants. A mosaic dating back to 547 CE, it is found within the church of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. The material used in creating the piece is glass, known as tessarae, set in plaster. (Davies 246) The scene is one of two which flank the altar of the church. The other image is Empress Theodora and Her Attendants.(Davies 254) It is unknown who the artist was behind “Emperor” (the piece was likely from an imperially run workshop), but that won’t stop our understanding of this work.…

    This vessel is an example of late Red Figure style, a style in which reddish figures appear light against the black background of the surface. In this particular case, it was modified with the use of white as a third color. This effect was achieved as the piece is made of red clay which produces black oxidation where desired when it is fired. In some ways, this piece shows elements of several earlier styles in modified form. The figures are shown in three-quarter profile rather than the more strict profile, which had been common prior to the sixth century B.C. Elements of the geometric style can be seen on the base, with the human figures above being either red or white.…

    I feel that this painting has Asymmetrical Balance. From our handouts – “In this case balance is achieved with dissimilar objects that have equal visual weight or equal eye attraction. “ The Starry Night is a picture of the night sky with stars and trees and the moon. We read that Nature is not symmetrical. Even the stars are different sizes and give off different light. “Shape and Texture also attracts our attention and is used in Asymmetrical Balance.”…

    This figure is bilaterally symmetrical which means the left side is a mirror image of the right side. The statue of Ramesses is facing forward which is called frontalism. The false beard that Ramesses has is stylized with a zigzag pattern. The sharply carved lines on the statue indicate bulging muscles on his body. This statue was probably made using the canon of proportions which is a standard formula used for representing the human form. A mathematical formula is used to plot the figure on a grid which made all of the statues from this time period look the…
