INTRODUCTION
A fabric is a flat structure consisting of fibrous products, either natural or ″man made″. Textile fabrics are most commonly woven but may also be produced by knitting, felting, lace making, net making, nonwoven processes and tufting or a combination of these processes. Most fabrics are two-dimensional but an increasing number of three-dimensional woven technical textile structures are being developed and produced.

    Puabi’s golden headdress, from Ur, Iraq and made around 2550-2450 B.C.E., has political significance. The elaborate piece is comprised of a wreath, earrings, coiffed hair, necklaces, and body jewelry. Puabi was a queen in her own right and this object has political significance because it demonstrates the importance of hierarchy in early Mesopotamia. The decadence of the headdress shows that it was meant to display dominance. This object is art because people can appreciate it visually and aesthetically. It does not have much practical use since it is very ornate and hard to wear. The headdress was presented in the middle of the gallery and was a definite focal point of the exhibit. Therefore, it was meant to be a piece that was admired for its beauty and grandeur.…

    Family, for some has always been the glue that holds people together, whether liked or not, like branches on a tree, spreading its leaves for what seems like miles. In "The Century Quilt" by Marilyn Nelson Waniek, the speaker creates a simile of her grandmother's blanket and her quilt, beginning with explaining the memorable colors and thoughts about her grandmother's blanket and continuing with her quilt. In "The Century Quilt", Waniek gives the poem complex meaning through literary techniques such as diction to add complexity and to give insight to the meaning, imagery to show the connection of the speaker's family, and symbolism to show the similarities of the speakers quilt and her grandmother's blanket.…

    Sculptures come in many shapes, types, and forms due to not only the many different mediums that can be used, but also due to the ever-evolving nature of what constitutes as a sculpture and the materials that can be used to create sculptures. The two sculptures from the Ringling that I chose were The Pathless Woods, an interactive exhibit created by Anne Patterson, and Bodhisattva of Compassion created by Quan Am out of wood. The Pathless Woods created an experience of an installation piece, included different principals of design which allowed the context of the piece to be developed, while Bodhisattva of Compassion was a high relief sculpture that also included principals of design that aided in showing the religious nature of the piece…

    The unicorn tapestries is the title given to a set of six full tapestries, as well as three fragments of an additional tapestry, that depict the hunt of a unicorn. The tapestries are currently being housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tapestries have a long and complicated history, of which much is left in the dark. The tapestries were woven in the Southern Netherlands around the year 1500 (Colburn 2010, 97). Five of the seven unicorn tapestries were speculated by James J. Rorimer to have been made for Anne of Brittany to commemorate her marriage to Louis XII in 1499, Rorimer explains Queen Anne’s supposed affinity for tapestries, “Judging from extracts from her inventories and expense accounts, Anne was one of the greatest collectors…

    When I first went up to view the piece of art, Make/Do by Margo Halverson in 2014, I had to take closer look at it to make sure I was not seeing things. It shows a chair with a missing bottom on one leg, being held at balance with a fork as a support. Because of this, I was immediately interested in the print as I wanted to depict the deeper meaning within. I like that about this particular work of art since usually it is very hard for me to actually engage fully into a piece of art. Not only does it strike me intellectually but also in my feelings as it conveys that even in the stickiest situations, you can simply, make do with what you have.…

    Growing up surrounded by a pack of strong dynamic females shaped who I am today. From an early age, I observed these women and tried to make sense of who they were. I have used my work to visually capture the moments that have, and continue to, shape the lives of women, particularly in the South. My work is a commentary of Southern women and the many reasons why their lives continue to be affected by gender roles and familial bonds. I have incorporated these themes into my work by using visual narratives that describe moments of emotional jubilation and depression.…

    Forest Monarch, a watercolor painting by Reynold Weidenaar is one of the pieces of art hanging on the walls of the Art and Music Library in the second floor of Funderburg library. The painting consists of a massive tree as a backdrop and has a man facing the tree, turning his back towards the audience. The tree in the painting may be an oak tree. Generally, an oak tree is considered to be the king of the forest. The title of the painting is Forest Monarch, suggesting that the tree in the painting is an Oak tree. The man in the painting is carrying a gun which provides a hint that he might have been a hunter looking for a prey around the tree. Two contrasting ideas of peace and violence are presented together in the painting. On one hand, there is a huge calm tree firmly standing in a stationary position while on the other hand, there is an active man facing the calm tree with a gun. The calmness provided by the tree can end within the next few seconds if the man decides to use his gun.…

    Art does not have a clear definition which means that anything someone creates can be considered art .The art styles in the wire drawing by Richard Tuttle and the idyllic painting by Thomas Kinkaid are both true forms of art. The wire drawing by Richard Tuttle is abstract and does not depict anything in particular. It is simply a few squiggly lines with shadows. I am unsure what message Tuttle was trying communicate in his art piece. This begs the question, does art need to have a message or a purpose? I haven’t the slightest clue as to what Tuttle’s art is supposed to mean. Even without clear meaning Tuttle’s work is valid art. On the other hand we have Kinkaid’s idyllic painting. Thomas Kinkaid’s work are clear depictions of beautiful landscapes…

    In Buddhism, the Eight Auspicious symbols are considered to be the most meaningful and powerful symbols in the entire religion. The Eternal Knot is one of these Eight symbols. The Eternal Knot looks like an unending knot that is inevitably connected. It also looks like an extremely unsolvable maze to the eye. It represents the balance between opposite dualities. It’s a symbol that hate is rode out with love, that lies are overcome by truth. It also symbolizes how arguments have two sides and that each person should see the other side of an argument in a new light. This leads to harmony, balance and a closer path to enlightenment. All the twists and turns in the knot symbolize the entanglement of all the beings on Earth. This magnifies the…

    Art Structures

    I initially chose this type of building structure because it's a simple public recreational building that I created. It contains 7 rooms on the first floor (2 gyms, workout room, ping pong/badminton, a storage room, a stairwell, and bathrooms) and 3 rooms on the second floor (Attendants lounge, main office, and advisor's office). The most important element of this design was the selection of where the rooms are to maximize easy traveling of the customers wants. For example, having easy access to the main bathrooms from most rooms or having multiple entrances to the upstairs stairwell. I chose to use brick for the building material because it provides a strong foundation and suites the look of a recreational building. As for potential problems of the design, there is no elevator to get to upstairs and there are no fire exits on the upstairs level, as well. I think that it was easier to create the floor plan, because it's based more on personal preference and what you feel would be the best way to set up the rooms. The elevation view is kind of hard to make up, because trying to pick an angle of the building that shows off the structure the most is difficult. It's very much easier to understand the floor plan because most stuff on a floor plan will usually be labeled and when looking at a specific angle through an elevation view, you typically can't really tell what's inside. All in all, I believe that the floor plan of the building gives much more information about the building itself. I think the instructions for this project are pretty…

    For many years, and even today, we have depended on the writing of art critics such as Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg, and Rosalind Krauss, to name a few, to teach us about art. Their writing has been so influential in the history of art that we have forgotten that they are opinion writers and not of fact; we have many times taken their opinions too literal, taken specifics for granted, when in reality we should be questioning their reflections. They have manipulated our opinion, reactions, and even likeness of art. They defined who the great artists are and through their judgments they have even decided the value of art. But unfortunately for them, post-modern art has dethroned critics with the use of humor, wit, and scale of impact in their art.…

    "One Art" Analysis

    In her poem, "One Art," Elizabeth Bishop constructs a poem that reveals a struggle with mastering the issue of loss. Through the use of a villanelle, Bishop utilizes the significance of structure and word choice to further the meaning of her work. Bishop crescendos each stanza to create a firm foundation for the dramatic conclusion, and incorporates expressive words throughout the poem to illuminate the last stanza's attitude shift from that of carelessness to seriousness.…

    Old Trees, Level Distance in (figure 1) was created by Guo Xi a late 11th century landscape painter (Old Trees, Level Distance, 2008). In this particular painting the artist has used a traditional Chinese style approach of hand scroll with ink and color on silk. This approach is especially seen in the traditional design of crab-claw trees and devil face rocks (Old Trees, Level Distance, 2008). However, Guo Xi’s used an innovative brushwork pattern that added rich, texture to the ink and contrast of this painting compared to earlier traditional works. The artist has used outlines, texture strokes, and ink washes in this painting that creates a landscape atmosphere of moisture or wet presence (Old Trees, Level Distance, 2008). Furthermore, the painting conveys the artist’s personal emotions as it gives off an impression of farewell and symbolic sadness.…
