Category: Art : Art History

(600 words with images/captions and citations)
My chosen artwork is “The Milkmaid” by Johannes Vermeer and I have attached the document on the notes I have thus far. I also provided the reading I linked my presentation too. Add more information about the artists and the inspiration of the artwork and talk about how it is not a real life artwork but it is of the situations that were going on during the time. Link it to the reading and the Topic “Women, Art, and Food”. Also add images with captions and citations.

Notes from Professor: Can be improved by doing more research, and thinking more in depth about the chosen work. The connection with the context of production as well as with other ideas and notions explored in class would have also been beneficial (for instance class and labor together with gender would be a good place where to start).

Please respond to the following questions after reading chapters 8 and 9.
What does “form follows function” mean?
What makes modern architecture modern?
Pick one of the architects from the chapter. Do you like or dislike their work? Why? What do you like or dislike?

In this assignment, you will construct a timeline, placing the cultures covered in this week’s reading in the appropriate place on a chronological timeline and global map.
See the attached document for complete instructions and grading rubric.

Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).
Consider a building like the ancient Roman Colosseum or the Pantheon. The history of these buildings is incredibly well-documented. Through drawings and written records, we know what the Pantheon looked like when it was new, and blue and gold paint adorned its ceiling. We know what the Colosseum looked like before it sustained significant damage in a 1349 earthquake.
Consider these two examples as you think about the roles of art preservationists and restorers. Then, select a different piece of art or architecture from this week’s reading to write about.
What is the best way to present this ancient piece of art?
What presentation will give today’s viewers the clearest and most honest picture of the past?
Should we present an old piece of art with no (or limited) restoration? Maintaining the integrity of the original artifact?
Should we use our contextual information about the piece to make it look as it did in its own time?
Should we restore to provide context but use a different material – allowing the viewer to easily distinguish between the hand of the ancient artist and that of the restorer?
How might our modern technologies help us create new solutions to this issue?

The artistic styles developed and refined in ancient Greece are some of the most influential to all of western art. In this week’s discussion board:
Select one piece of Etruscan art and describe which formal elements or processes appear to have been inspired by ancient Greek art. Be as specific as you can.
Include a photograph of your Etruscan selection so your classmates can see exactly which piece of architecture you are writing about.
Explain how your Etruscan selection breaks from the ancient Greek style. Once again, be specific.
Then, consider the lasting influence of ancient Greece as it exists in your community.
Take a picture of a building in your area that appears to be inspired by ancient Greek classical architecture.
Describe what elements derive from ancient Greece, and note which one of the classical orders it most closely relates to.
If you’re having trouble locating a Greek-inspired building in your community, try looking at official buildings like schools, government buildings, banks, and libraries. If you absolutely can’t take a picture of a building yourself, then find an image online from your home state to post. Consider looking at your state capital.
