Abcs Of Reclaimed Wood Wall Art

By Stacey Burt


The search for the perfect natural proportions also led the Greek sculpture establish certain standards of beauty that although absolutely naturalists were alienated from everyday reality. The proportions of ideal human bodies were rigid rules, so that the sculptural work was a search and a consequence ofse canons: for example, the height of male body should correspond approximately seven and a half times the height of head (reclaimed wood wall art).

Less attention has been given arts productions of other civilizations, and even peripheral areas of Western civilization itself (as colonial America), regardless of considerations that may be of importance compared with that of central areas of western civilization . Such orientation is often accused of Eurocentrism by supporters of a global. Although the concept of arts is modern, it is perfectly usable in architecture, sculpture, painting and antique jewelry, and many of its real achievements arts and not mere utilitarian craft products. The formulation of Western classical aesthetics begins with the Greek and Roman cultures.

The Romans played many of Greek architectural schemes, but also introducing new elements such as the arch, as well as new techniques and materials. In Rome, on the other hand, the civil architecture will be even more important.

This kind of arts is often called Renaissance classicism. The three most influential Renaissance arts are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael Sanzio, belonging to Italian Renaissance. Another figure equally important but less known Renaissance (in this case, of Flemish painting) is Jan van Eyck, Dutch painter.

In European arts, Renaissance Classicism led on two different movements: Mannerism and Baroque. The first, a reaction against the idealist perfection of Classicism, employed distortion of light and space in work in order to emphasize its emotional content and emotions of artist. Baroque arts led representation techniques from the Renaissance to new heights, emphasizing detail and movement inir pursuit of beauty. Perhaps the best known Baroque painters are Rembrandt, Rubens and Velazquez.

Mannerism is a period of transition and profound crisis of arts. Young arts, raised in veneration of office of his great predecessors (Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael) believe most ofse achievements insurmountable. Alternatives to continue its wake are tested: imitate the style -the maniera, which names the based on further complicate foreshortening and contrasts, or look strange colors and harmonies, or represent allegories strange that even in his time were obscure to uninitiated.

In construction of cathedrals is sought to create a "mystical" feeling inside ofm, ie interiors to recreate a "heavenly" atmosphere, an effect that becomes more noticeable in Gothic sought. One thing to note is the appearance of unions in this period, bringing together arts who held a monopoly on practical knowledge of particular branch of production.

The Greeks are also responsible for a series of advances from the technical point of view of arts production. Greek arts par excellence was the sculpture: the Greeks developed impressively, and will be considered a role model for other cultures in same period.
