The above 3-D work of art was done recently by Abhi Ghuge and is made of painted paper plates.
At the left is the bottom portion of The Holly Trinity, by Masaccio, 1428, a two dimensional work of art.
Just above the skeleton it reads "IO FU[I] G[I]A QUEL CHE VOI S[I]ETE E QUEL CH['] I[O] SONO VO[I] A[N]C[OR] SARETE" (I once was what you are and what I am you also will be). This memento mori underlines that the painting was intended to serve as a lesson to the viewers.

In this 2013 Fall Semester we will be looking at and critiquing many 2-D and 3-D art works. It is the mission of Art Appreciation that you will see many different types of art, you will learn what art is made of and why, you will participate in creating art projects, and you will be able to write about art work as well. Welcome to Art Appreciation Class.
