Art Appreciation Classes for Fall 2013

8/19/2013

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.

The line work and visual use of space in your work "In Everything" is beautiful and profound. I particularly enjoy the symbolism that is portrayed as the hands becoming the parts of the flower, and though your eyes are drawn to the center the movement of the lines keep your eyes flowing throughout the work.

The art that is posted under MFA EXHIBITION 2007 is very intriguing. I would have loved to see them in person while they were on display.The piece above by Abhi Ghuge is also very interesting, I enjoy the contrast between the 3-D paper plates and the background.
