    When British rule came into today 's Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) in the late 19th century, they found “peaceful people living in various sized city-states.” The people inhabiting this area, known as the Shona tribe, had seen little of European people up to this point, and were easily convinced of Britain 's trickery to move in and take control of their land. Up to this point, the Shona tribe and their religion was based on ancestor spirit possession using music mostly from the hand-held mbira. British rule highly disapproved of this, and in turn left many Zimbabweans alienated form their ancient culture.[1]…

    My initial thoughts about this painting is that it seems to be a posed portraite done around the year 1500 judging by the subject's clothing. It appears that the two men were positioned so that they could lean on the table, so I assume the artist painted them while they stood in front of him instead of relying on memory. The two men are dressed very well and give the impression of being explorers or possibly sailors. The detail is amazing so I think the original must be very large for the artist to be able to incude such fine detail. I feel there must be some kind of a message that they artist is trying convey by the inclusion of the large and misshapen skull at the men's feet, it seems very out of place and a very odd addition to a portrait like this.…

    The most impressive part of the design is in its dome, where the complex corners and curves of the plan are pulled upwards like a tent. Standing at the center of the church and looking upwards, it’s beautiful shape is revealed, and the pronounced entablature makes the visitor want to flow around the space, following its shape. The dome is filled with natural light, which elevates the space into a spiritual…

    African Art Assignment

    The initial assignment is a necessary one and for a good reason. Why? Simple, it forces each student to begin to analyzing and enjoy the art in their community that they might not notice otherwise. I for one, am not a huge art fan. However, the assignment does bring me a step closer to becoming one. Swapping out lenses to take notice of the many different works of art in the community is truly eye opening. Instead of glancing over the painting in the lobby, for instance, now I take a moment to interpret the piece of art and the significance of the work. Now, most important to me, when looking at a piece of artwork, is understanding at conception the cultural influence on the artist. Analyzing it from that context allows the viewer to receive a history lesson as well as enjoy the work for a variety of other reasons.…

    At the beginning of the song, it wasn't singing instead she was talking. Then she started to sing right after she was done talking. I couldn't follow the translation because it sounded like Latin or French. I kept listening to it over and over but I couldn't understand what the words meant. She does have the most beautiful voice though. She sounds like an opera singer. I noticed when she hit high notes she sounded off key. It was way too high pitch and much louder, and stronger vocal. At the point when she went back to normal pitch, it sounds so much better and was a little quiet. The background sounds like music in a catholic church. I believe it is an acapella music with solo vocal without instrumental sound. In this song, the most striking feature is acapella music with monophonic texture. I think this song is successful because it is very calm and smooth background although some pitches are way too high for her to sing. She reached her highest pitch at 3:18 in the song.…

    The Ancient Near Eastern gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York contained a widespread of art pieces that regurgitated reminiscence of materials learned in the early weeks of World Art I. The first art form that I became engrossed by was a stone relief titled Orthostat relief: lion attacking a deer. This relief was said to be accredited to the Hittites culture during the Neo-Hittites Period, and dating 19th century. Its precise geographic origin is Syria, Tell Halaf. The subject matter of this relief, as stated in its given title, is of a lion viscously attaching a deer, or buck. Other orthostats found Syria, Tell Halaf also share a comparable theme of vulgar executions, and frequent use of animal subjects such as lions, boars, stags, and hybrid creatures (Halaf, Tell). The description of this orthostat relief says that it is inscribed, although I could not identify where the inscribing were, “Palace of Kapara, son of Hadianu.”…

    There are multiple cultures in the world. Within these cultures there are traditions like dance, food, music. Another one is art. Art is such a powerful part in cultures. Africa has art that is so elegant, structured, and complexed. Even today's modern African art is still so complexed and traditional. These ideas come from artists who take traditional ideals in African art and make a new movement of african art. Like, Gilbert “Bobbo” Ahiagle and El Anatsui.
