1. The Compare and
contrast the use of perspective in Raphael’s The School of Athens and
Durand’s Kindred Spirits
Raphael’s The School of Athens and
Durand’s Kindred Spirits are one of the famous paintings in the world. They
were pained by the well-known artists with their sharp lines.
Both of them have
the great values go through the time; beside, The School of Athens and Kindred
Spirits have several differences in characters of art. First, Raphael’s
painting is an art of linear perspective; it was one of the big pictures in
Renaissance. The School of Athens revealed the drawing lines on the basic
one-point perspective system and depict the way objects in space appear to eye
in 16th century. In aerial perspective, the Durand’s painting shows
an illusion of depth to create the detail and natural colors in “visual
experience” of the real world. The Durand’ is non-sectarian in that is
“supports the journey of others” where ever they are along the way. The second
difference is The School of Athens expressed a symbol of the synthesis of pagan
and Christian philosophies; The Kindred Spirits captured the “sublime grandeur”
of the American landscape. In Raphael’s painting, it represents the truth
acquired through reason and provided an appropriate space for his depiction of
“the Greek philosophers and other important thinkers.” It regard for its human
relationship to its appreciation of cultural diversity and the manner to which
it interact with all of its members. The School of Athens placed on education
in liberal arts by new pattern. It is probably “inspired” by late Roma
architectural and has been admired during the course of nearly five hundred years.
In Kindred Spirits, Durand set the stone for American landscape painting which
celebrated man’s relationship to natural and the wilderness. He helped to
define an American sensibility about the land, “setting it apart from European
traditions,” and he perfected innovative compositional elements. Durand’s
painting includes style’s main proponent, and William Cullen Bryant; he
esteemed poet; at the edge of precipice in Catskills Mountain, their walking
sticks in hand. Durand’s influence hastened the decline of history painting in
the 19th century in capturing the sublime of scenery, but the
Raphael’s painting concentrated about high education in ancient time.

2. Artists Balla and Calder were
concerned with motion. Example of their work, how their approaches differ.
Giacommo balla was one of the
founders of Futurism. He was among the many artists who outlined their primary
objective to depict movement, which they saw as symbolic of their commitment to
the dynamic forward thrust of the twentieth century. Balla’s painting
celebrated the machine concerned with capturing figures and objects in motion.
He translated the racing car was “heralded as the triumph” of age which is into
works that captured the dynamic energy of the speed of modern century. In his
Girl Running on The Balcony, Balla attempted to realize movement by showing the
girl’s running legs in “repeated sequence”. In Abstract Speed-The Car Has
Passed, he depicted the “running air and dynamic feeling of vehicle passing; in
Dog on a Leash; he got to grips with the problem of recreating speed, and other
paintings such as Flight Of The Swallow, Plastic Construction Of Noise And
Speed…he expressed “human experience” of motion, time and space by the
development of the automobile, movies… in his works.
Alexander Calder utilized his
innovative genius to profoundly change the course of modern art in the 20th
century. He began by developing a new method of sculpting by bending and
twisting wire. He relied on air movement to “perform his subtle dances,” a
leading investor of kinetic sculpture, he essentially “drew” three-dimensional
figures in space. He invented of the mobile which is abstract element move and
balance in changing harmony of art into motion. For example, In Totem, n.d, he
made the fourth dimensions of time to move through space; in Big Red, he relied on air speed to “subtle
movement;” in other works, he displayed range from large-scale outdoor
sculpture to more intimately sized mobile constructions.

3. How Shen Zhou uses the element of
design in his artwork Poet on a Mountain Top. Which elements were
excluded and why?
Shen Zhou’s Poet on a Mountain Top
is a well-known China Painting in 15th century. The basic elements
of this painting were belong to literati art which have another way of creating
atmospheric perspective. It described “poetic symbols of landforms” in the
world of liberation. The painting includes a poem that relates to, and almost
tells the story of the painting. The poet on a Mountain is a traditional
Chinese landscape painting; it is a distinct class which flourished between the
tenth and fifteenth century. The picture in this tradition are usual very
recognizable; there is a background of mountainous terrain; a stream around
from the mountains or the river beside the mountains…In addition, a scholar,
poet, retired officer or Taoist appeared in the paintings. In She Zhou’s Poet
on a Mountain Top, the stone steps of mountain became a casual please of the
educated elite from that period. The high stone shows strong and lively
drawing; Shen expressed his quiet mind and entering the immense clouds. In the
Poet on a Mountain Top, he gives us recognize the Chinese’s dream that is
enjoyment in harmony of simple landscape. It excluded from cluttered details in
realistic representations in order to contact with peace of mind by its
simpleness.

4. Isaac Newton’s contributions
to our understanding of color
Isaac Newton was almost noted for
theories on the Law of Motion and the idea that-all bodies exert gravitation.
He also built the first practice reflecting telescope and developed an idea of
colour based on observation to pass through a prism into a dark chamber onto a
white light, and many colours that form the visible spectrum. The colors were
the same which made up a rainbow violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange
and red. His theory is a quintessential symbol of the human intellect and its
ability to “decode secrets” of natural. The discovery white light is actually a
mixture of immutable spectral color and the formulation of calculus. His use of
the camera obscure was associated with the work on optics. Newton also made a
pin-hole camera with a hole on one of the sides of a cardboard box, and a
tracing paper on the opposite side, one could see an upside down image of the
object in front of the hole. This proved that light color travels in a straight
line. In discovery, the color is the effect on “our eyes of light waves of
differing wavelengths or frequencies;” that is also basic of inspiration for
artists in multicolor
