Module #10 My Masks

I chose this style for my mask to demonstrate my feelings and traditions. My masks would incorporate wood, grass,colors and natural stones or beads to adorn it. I chose the geometric patterns circles and triangles because they are both equal in measurement, 360 degrees, symbolizing the whole of life. I chose the color scheme red, black, and green to symbolize the blood, dirt, and lushness of plants provided for man. I chose brown to symbolize Earth and Mankind. My maske has open eyes and a closed mouth to indicate how we should carry ourselves throughout life. My mask would be used in celebration of the bounty that man has been given domain over that he may have life and pleasure.

Although these two artist found favor with the female form in their art, the geometric manner with which they would be illustrated was new a...

Art discovered in the Chauvet cave created during the Upper Palaeolithic era demonstrated the influence that the psyche had on developing society into an organized construct. The ability to copy nature in art, architecture,music while applying order and morality is a human attribute. Changeux and  Ramachandrans (20th century neuroscientist) , scientific view of aesthetics and art form the relationships between nature and mans urge to copy nature not only in the order of our codes and mores of our way of interacting with one another but additionally demonstrate the urge for humans to exemplify through artistic expression a human representation of these feelings of the human experience. The reading,videos,art and architecture represented all  illustrate the origins of Homo sapiens and the emergence from dark...
