“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.” Edward de Bono

In this paper I am going to discuss the relationship I see in the current issue or dilemma and propose solutions. There are many things that I would not agree with or I do not think are right or simply cannot find that some aspects of our creative culture are being supported as they should. The fact that art and cultural institutions or even ideas are not being supported nowadays appears to me as big issue. I think that, in the past an artist of any kind was more respected and treated then artist today. Long time ago if you were an artist all the doors where open to you, people wanted you to live in their households and create art. They were well fed, paid well and treated with a dignity. Today an artist appears to be unnecessary product of constantly developing society. Sometimes I feel that people do not understand how much value brings art to our life. Overall I feel that people do not appreciate artists as they used to be in Renaissance times. For example Leonardo da Vinci was working for multiple families but one who was the most generous was Francis First in France. According to Museum of Science website, “Following the death of his patron Giuliano de' Medici in March of 1516, he was offered the title of Premier Painter and Engineer and Architect of the King by Francis I in France. His last and perhaps most generous patron, Francis I provided Leonardo with a cushy job, including a stipend and manor house near the royal chateau at Amboise. “Leonardo as many other artists in the past were valued for their creative mind and work. Today people do not understand how much work it takes for an artist’s to put their “hearts on the plate” with the hope of recognition and appreciation. Nowadays artists are on their own; they are treated like cheap labor for art events and often used by others. According to Art

    The chapel of Raemkai was originally built and decorated for an official named Neferiretnes, traces of whose name and titles can still be made out on the false door. The reuse of the tomb for Raemkai was not probably by royal decree and took place before the reign of Isesi (circa 2381BC). The fine relief decorating the tomb includes a large scene of the hunt in the steppes with lasso and dogs. In one scene an ibex is lassoed, in another, dogs attack a hyena and a Dorcas gazelle while a man leaning on his staff looks on and a hare and a reclining gazelle may be seen in the background.…

    In 50AD, the Romans were becoming more knowledgable in creating a sufficient water system that they began building aqueducts. The architecture and design, of what is known at the Pont Du Gard aqueduct in Rome, is remarkable. There are many similarities and differences between Pont Du Gard and the water system in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Both water systems are functional in their own structural design. They each have a certain function for their own society at the time which make them unique.…

    After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario. The work is very colorful, and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head. This is one of Solario’s most notable works, and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel with John the Baptist, and would have killed him herself. Instead, her daughter, Salome, danced for Herod and he was so pleased that he said he would give her anything she asked for. She asked for John the Baptist’s head on a platter at her mother’s urging. I believe I was interested in this work because I already knew about the subject matter, but I don’t think you have to know a lot about the art before entering the museum to be interested in it.…

    The first two pictures that are being compared are Shirin Neshatb “Allegience with Wakefulness” 1994 and Jasper Johns “Three Flags” 1958. In the “Allegience with Wakefulness” is instrumentalist. It is instrumentalist because it is the writing on this person’s feet is not English and there is a gun between the person’s feet. This might be taken as things that are different from what we are used to be taken as threat. American people in general have a closed minded way of looking at things. The other aesthetic perspective for this art piece that are noted is linguistic. Linguistic are has symbols as well and the gun could also be seen as a symbol. It has words written in it too specifically on the feet. This artistic piece is powerful because it can have so many meanings to it and can mean many things to many different people. “Three Flags” is a linguistic painting. It is obvious that this is a linguistic painting because it is the American flag. The American flag is tied strongly to American culture. It is a symbol of our freedom. Imitationist is the next aesthetic perspective that is seen in this paper, obviously because it looks just like the American flag. The American flag looks like it is popping of the page because of the way they get smaller as they move forward. Both of these art pieces have a strong message behind them. The first one, “Allegience with Wakefulness” has a language in it that most Americans would not be able to understand. It also has a gun which could mean a lot of different things in this particular picture. The second picture “Three Flags” is pretty much the opposite of that. It is very recognizable for everyone in the American culture. It stands for freedom our freedom.…

    During the period of the Romanesque, art was influenced by Byzantinian Art and Roman Art. Romanesque art's concentration was on religion and incorporated beautiful murals painted on domed ceilings and walls, stained glass and carvings on columns and buildings. Although Biblical figures were a rarity prior to the year 1000, "rich ensembles of figural reliefs began to appear again, most often in the grand portals through which the faithful" (Kleiner 350) or pilgrims passed through. Manuscript art and sculpture was also highlighted during Romanesque times.…
