modern art gallery by mistake? "Quick," said one, "Run! Before they say we did it!" Although this may be a hilarious slap your knee joke, I believe this depicts how society feels about modern art. As a popular saying goes “’Modern art’ is produced by incompetents, sold by charlatans, and bought by ignoramuses!” Why such the skepticism towards current art? Why do art historians and renowned scholars set new art aside in favor of a Monet or Rembrandt? Is the importance of modern art so infinitesimal
I chose the “Marble Shatters Drinking Glass” painting since it had a lot of meaning to me. I see a shattered drinking glass with glass and a marble flying. Edward Ruscha created this artwork. This artwork is a painting and it made out of oil on canvas. The name of this artwork is “Marble Shatters Drinking Glass”. “Marble shatters drinking glass” was created in 1968. The other major events in 1968 were the day MLK was assassinated. Apollo 8 was the first mission to orbit the moon. The objects
stone walls to wooden tree houses to glass homes. As far as creation is concerned, glass was and is necessary. Though some cities differ in the use of glass materials they are alike with some architectural aspects. From manufacturing companies for cars to your grandmother’s fine china; we’re talking about glass use of interior design. Some materials of glass are more expensive than others due to the use and weight of glass. With glass windows to windows to cars, glass has become a major factor in society
What makes us human is the ability to recognize the good in other people and in turn recognize the good in ourselves. There is a saying that whatever you think about another person is just a reflection of what you think about yourself; it is like looking into a mirror. Paintings can act like mirrors as well; we can gaze into a painting and see the good of the subject being portrayed and in turn we can identify the same attributes within ourselves allowing us to relate to the subject matter. Both
Rome that stained glass windows were first created and admired, being simple compositions of colored glass. It was between 1150 and 1500 that stained glass art reached its peak in Europe, where large, historiated windows were being created for cathedrals (Metmuseum.org, 2014). These windows were “illuminated visual sermons of biblical stories,” and greatly changed the way the congregation learned about religion (Reynolds, 2013, p. 3). It wasn’t until the late 1800s that stained glass artists began making
Judith Schaecter’s stained glass piece Cold Genius is inspired by song, as are many of her pieces. This piece in particular takes inspiration from “The Cold Song”, an aria written by Henry Purcell about a Cold Genius who recognizes the power of love to thaw the harshest winter (Cold Genius, 2009). Although it has many references to traditional stained glass scenes found in Christian churches, particularly in the intricate folds of the fabric, this stained glass piece is very distinct. To exaggerate
In the vast world of glass, three artists have made a great impact on the way we see the medium as an art form. These three artists, Tapio Wirkkala , Gianni Toso, and Henry Halem have helped to pioneer new methods and ideas in this complex industry. Tapio Wirkkala was a highly versatile Finnish artist born in 1915. His work ranges from glassware and metalwork, to jewelry and furniture for mass production. During his career, he was artistic director of the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki
Being a Glass Blowing Glass blowing as a career is really unique and creative. People can learn to make all sorts of crazy things and to use their own creativity to its fullest. Glassblowing is the art of shaping melted glass to make decorative objects. It is an area of concentration within the fine arts field at colleges and universities. Glass is an adaptable, old material that is still being explored and understood by everyone from artist to scientist even in this new age. The earliest time
There is evidence of glass making from as early as 4000 BC. Back then it was mostly used for the coating of stone beads. It was 1500 BC when the first hollow glass container was made. It was made by covering a sand core with a layer of molten glass. It was during the First Century BC that glass blowing became more common. At this time glass was high coloured due to the impurities of the raw materials that were used to make it. The first recorded colourless glass was made in First Century AD. The
traditionally been the low suburban density of Melbourne. It is the second tallest building in Australia and the tallest building in Melbourne. One of its main features to the building is its sky deck which can give a 360 degree view of the city. The glass cube also known as the edge extends itself out from the building and is able to hang over the edge of the tower which is also great for viewing. I was lucky enough to visit this beautiful structure last year when I visited Australia. When I travelled
herself into history. Still, this woman, however incomprehensible by others, has the ability to know herself. This chapter of The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination, titled “The Queen’s Looking Glass,” discusses how the external, and particularly male, representations of a woman can affect her so much that the image she sees in the mirror is no longer her own. Thus, female writers are left with a problem. As Gibert and Gubar state, “the woman writer’s
and glass bottles to polymer ones, which don’t shatter, they are so strong that they are bulletproof. “Doctors want drinks to be served in plastic to stop 'glassing' Up to 300 people a week are believed to be injured when glasses are used as weapons in pub brawls.” (BBC, News, Society, Health) So polycarbonate is definitely solving a big safety issue. Glass used in bars is not the only problem, imagine if all the products used by kids that are now made of polycarbonate would be made of glass. Can

This picture is special to me because after losing my mother, life hasn’t been the same. My mother was my best friend, and one of my greatest
First, you need to know what heat is. Heat is the rattling, wiggling motion of all the atoms that make up a substance. It's a form of motion energy, but special because the solid as a whole isn't going anywhere. How is that possible? Imagine a large crowd of people standing around, in line, perhaps, for concert tickets. They could be standing quietly or shoving and milling about, even though the crowd isn't going anywhere. It's like that with solid objects, which are really vast "crowds" of individual
man of middle class standing, Oscar, and a woman with a glass making business of her own, Lucinda. This passage comes rather late in the story of Oscar and Lucinda and is the introduction of Oscar to Lucinda's world. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that the work is written in the third person view point but this particular viewpoint focuses on Oscar. We find that he is attracted to the female character, she who owns a glass manufacturing business, as he dreams of treating her to
According to “A Day Made of Glass” advertising video by Corning, the clip represents the kind of future that applies technology in everywhere to make the friendlier world to people because the convenience even from a small task has a huge impact on us. Opening the video, a couple is sleeping. The alarm clock that is set on the LCD TV wakes the husband up. As soon as he gets out the bed, the wall glass turns from dark to clear so that he can see the morning view. It is amazing that they curtain
The Year that Changed My Perspective of School It all started a week before the new school year. The year of the sneezing, coughing and nonstop runny nose was preparing its over throw of summer. I wasn't too excited about it. In fact I dreaded it. Advertisements came flying through the mail. Every one of them had printed boldly "Back To School" and "Back to School" again. It made me sick to my stomach. I threw every ad in the garbage. I never knew it but this school year was to change

Bottled water is a big spender with the average bottle costing around two dollars. Many people go out and but bottled water every grocery trip, but is it worth spending all that money. Especially for college students since being in debt as it is. With new light colleges should no longer be compelled to sell bottled water on their campuses, because it will help prevent college students from wasting their money, help the environment, and bottled water doesn’t offer many health benefits if any.
