Lady Liberty Kody O’Neill 10/31/16 D Doyon Art usually resembles the time in which it was made. There are characteristics of that time in the art and you can see how art changes as time goes on. Art changes as time goes on, but it is also made to begin with for a lot of different reasons. Some create art for beauty, some for money, and some do it for peace. I am going to focus on the Statue of Liberty and what it resembles. The Statue of Liberty was made by sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. It was a joint effort between France and America to make the Statue of Liberty and Edouard de Laboulaye’s idea to make a monument for the United States. The Americans made the pedestal and the French made the statue itself ("Statue History", 2016). …show more content…
Even though this statue resembled the friendship between the Americans and the French, the meaning goes much farther than that. It also is a symbol of freedom, not just for the two countries, but for people everywhere. Anyone who looks at the statue of liberty can see the strength, majesty, and hope that she stands for ("A Symbol Transformed -- The Statue Of Liberty", 2016). Immigrants that come in and see the Statue of Liberty know what she resembles and it brings hope and happiness. The artist knew what the Statue of Liberty meant to everyone and got the point of freedom off …show more content…
The statue of liberty resembles the values of the Gilded age because it was created during a time of reform. The United States and France were aiming for liberty and equality in a time when that was not very common. The Gilded Age was also a time of reform. During the Gilded Age there was a lot of immigration, political corruption, and a lot more. During the time that the Statue of Liberty was being built there was also a lot of immigration and political corruption going on in the world that France and the United States were trying to get out of (Mintz & McNeil,
factors that made the work look as it is today. Most sculptures were seen as symbols of politics
The art represented more than just sculpture. The art represented the social issue of racism by not having “black art” in a “white museum”. History shows us that black or African-American people have had a hard time fitting into this society because of the older days were black people were considered to be inferior to the “white
Art today isn't really thought of as something big or important, but during the Harlem renaissance
The original Laocoön statue was constructed by Athanadoros, Hagesander, Polydoros from Rhodes in the Hellenistic era. The large marble group that we now know as Laocoön Group was unearthed in 1506 CE, currently resides in the Vatican and may be a Roman copy of the famous Greek sculpture that Pliny the Elder described. , If the statue is a Roman copy, it was most likely commissioned by Augustus as a public works project to celebrate the fall of Troy that eventually led to the founding of Rome. However, if the marble statue is the original that was constructed by the sculptors from Rhodes, then the reasons for its construction could be as shrouded in mystery as its travels from Titus’s palace to Rome. Nonetheless, the origins of the statue
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most well know symbols of the United States, across the world. For this reason I chose to analyze the dramatic effect it creates, and what methods it implores to invent this "universal" meaning. It is one of the strongest visual representations of the ideals which our country is founded upon. I intend to defend the argument that the Statue of Liberty posses the power of persuading human thought using the terms encompassed in Kenneth Burke's Pentad, shaping the definition of "America" for people through out the world.
...ed in times of good fortunes, and expansion. While during times of instability the artistic ingenuity would stagnate. Finally at the end of the empire, the art quality would decrease as the empire was deteriorating. This deterioration in art quality would continue for decades until the Renaissance would bring back an art quality on the level of that of ancient Rome under the Antonines. The type of art being created could be used as a very good indicator of what the political scene in Rome looked like at the time.
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
The statue was built in France in 1886 and given to the U.S. as a gift of friendship and commemorating the alliance of France and the United States during the American Revolution. The Statue of Liberty came by boat. Lady Liberty was dismantled into 350 pieces and it took 214 wooden crates to ship to the U.S. to be built again on June 19, 1886. The statue is 305 feet tall. The Statue of Liberty's feet are 25 feet long, making her a US women's shoe size 879.
In conclusion as you can see the Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty are similar and different in more than one way maybe its shape of size maybe it could be the fact that people prefer one more than the other who knows but now you’ve explore the reasons people may be loved or hated these monuments maybe by choice or new development
“Philosophers, writers, and artists expressed disillusionment with the rational-humanist tradition of the Enlightenment. They no longer shared the Enlightenment's confidence in either reason's capabilities or human goodness.” (Perry, pg. 457) It is interesting to follow art through history and see how the general mood of society changed with various aspects of history, and how events have a strong connection to the art of the corresponding time.
In contrast, did anyone ever wonder what the Statue of Liberty is made of? Believe it or not The Statue of Liberty’s outside shell was made from copper. Inside the Statue, the frame is made from steel and iron which is similar to the Eiffel Tower. These materials keep the Statue’s shape. In addition, 300 different types of hammers were used to build the Statue (“Klein”). Although...
This is a great symbol of art because The Statue of Liberty is magnificent in every way, and serves its purpose to a superb level. Like I mentioned previously, “location, location, location .. “ the statue’s location was perfect back in the days of Ellis Island and is perfect now as a tourist site. Shortly after the immigrants on the boats first spotted the land of their new homes, they came into the Hudson river to see this grand statue, and to most people it wasn’t just some lady who was standing in the middle of a river, it was the lady who was going to free them or help them from their inadequate lives.

Throughout the ages art has played a crucial role in life. Art is universal and because art is everywhere, we experience it on a daily basis. From the houses we live in (architecture) to the movies we see (theatre) to the books that we read (literature). Even in ancient culture art has played a crucial role. In prehistoric times cave dwellers drew on the wall of caves to record history. In biblical times paintings recorded the life and death of Christ. Throughout time art has recorded history. Most art is created for a specific reason or purpose, it has a way of expressing ideas and beliefs, and it can record the experiences of all people.
