Art Timeline
As curator of the museum I have been asked to develop an interactive timeline based on one art medium to improve the content of the museum website. I have chosen to do a time line based on paintings from the Chinese. I chose to do nature and landscape art work.
The first art piece is known as Chinese landscape artist from the 11th century developed the Old Tree, Level Distance hand scroll using ink and color on silk which is traditional to the Chinese style. The mountains are done with a single line which gives the impression of distance. The focal point of the trees contains the artists patterned brushwork which provides the image with a textured look. The environment of the landscape is designed with a look of moisture formed with the dark and light contrast. Symbolically, the painting is that of a saddened emotion almost as saying goodbye to something.

The second art piece that I looked at was believed to be created by Qu Ding this hand scroll was created on silk with ink and pale colors during the 11th century of the North Song Dynasty. The hand scroll was created during a period when the images are meant to depict creation. Viewing the picture you connect with the nature as if present in the drawing, experiencing the textures that are created by the strokes and shadows that are created by the ink and pale colors used by the artist on the hand scroll. Possibly belonging to a collection this hand scroll creates balance while symbolizing an escape from life and into the world.
