    The Hydria Ease Art Analysis

    The artwork I chose for the Greeks is called the Hydria. This vase contains the artwork of Hercules and Athena. The vase art relates with Athena coming from Mount Olympus to bring Hercules to live among the other gods. In the myth it is hard to show who is who, because the Greeks see their gods as walking among humans. In the vase we can tell Athena by her armor, because she is the warrior goddess. We can see Hercules by the messenger god Hermes. We see the chariot and helpers, helping harness the horses for Athena and Hercules to ride to Mount Hercules. The vase reflects the story of how the Greeks view the gods and the heroes.…

    Theme- In poetry, fiction, or drama, the theme is the dominating idea in a work (Pearson 547). In Ha Jin’s An Entrepreneur’s Story, the theme seemed to be disappointment. All throughout the story the main character thought by having money, the perfect girl, and everything that came along with it would make him happy. The outcome of the situation with Manshan, his wealth, and the mother-in-law shows him that getting what he wanted didn’t make his life turn out to be any happier than he pictured (Pearson 265).…

    The Parthenon In Nashville, Tennessee

    Three epic battles are painted across the back side of her shield, which are also portrayed on the outside of the building with the previously describe sculptures and frizzes. Her face is painted with bright blue eyes and red lipstick. She has such a blank stare it gives off a stern but eerie feeling once walking into the room. Personally my favorite part of the exhibit because of how massive and intriguing the giant statue is. I love seeing metaphors within the sculpture such as Medusa’s head adorned across Athena’s shield, indication to the old Greek mythology story where Athena slayed Medusa. I feel as if this piece shows great significance to Greek beliefs that the gods protected them. The serpent beside Athena is said to represent the people of Athens and Athena’s shield protects the serpent, as she does them. This assumption only further emphasizes my previous notion that the original Parthenon was made for Athena in hopes she would protect the people of Athens. However that is only my assumption as no absolute reason has been established as to why it was built and its purpose.…

    Greek Warriors

    Warfare played a constant and significant role in the development of Greek culture. This is apparent in the depiction of military conflicts on various artifacts which have survived over the centuries. The Greek warrior is located among the largest artifacts, buildings and statues, and among the smallest, coins. The warrior is also painted on vases. These objects are all reflective of Greek culture, and of the impact war had upon the people who created and used these objects. The most abundant of these artifacts are the hundreds of vases which have been collected over the years. Among these vases are the "Athenian Red-Figure vases and Attic Black Figure Vases."…

    Spanish Art: The Early Renaissance

    Spanish style was influenced not only by the characters of Spain’s component regions, but by relationships with foreign countries and their customs, geography and climate and religion. The most dramatic and most lasting influence from abroad came from the Moors, Islamic people from North Africa who conquered most of Iberia in A.D. 711 and who maintained a degree of control there until 1492. Two f the world’s great religions, Islam and Christianity, have dominated the history of Spain, and much Spanish history is the record of their violent struggles against each other. Spanish art combines both influences. It all began with work done by the Moors, mostly in southern Spain, after their arrival from North Africa in 711. Moorish design in Spain shared many of the characteristics we saw in Islamic design, but it was naturally influenced by its Spanish setting. Some of the elements of this architecture are at relevant terms and then at specific examples of the style. The chief focus of Moorish buildings was invariably on the interior, exterior surfaces in the other hand were blank, plain, and…

    Indian Art After 1900

    Contrasting Indian art from before and after 1900 they started to head in a more realist art style. Before, their painting would look somewhat unrealistic not because the animals they painted had all sorts of designs on them but because their art looked somewhat cartoonish. Comparing Indian art they both used subjects that represented their culture. For example the tattoos or markings the people would have just the animals has. Also the cloths, the jewelry and objects they would use to dress themselves.…

    Ancient Greek Culture

    The Greek population was increasing and with that new ideas emerged. These ideas developed into new styles used by Greek artists as Greece moves into the Classical period. The classical period was at the height of Greek strength and artists began to touch on any topic, be it historical, mythological or religious. The Greeks began to feel positive after they defeated Persians who tried to invade and this led to a sense of powerfulness. The Persians had established one of the most powerful and developed cultural civilizations in history. Being a cultural icon, the fact that the Greeks were able to conquer this territory gave them a sense of intellectual and artistic power. This power transferred into art and drove the movement towards creating the ultimate civilization. A great period in the arts began during the classical period as made evident in the expanding style that was used. A piece of sculpture known as “Hermes with Infant Dionysus by Praxiteles(350BC) touches on the sentiment of Greek interest in mythology and can be used as a piece to measure stylistic changes against. This sculpture addresses that Greek worship of gods as prevalent in the period and represents one of many myths that were communicated. The style of this piece was in keeping with the mindset of its people. It portrayed an ideal, a beauty and perfection that would have been important characteristics of a…
