	History of art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The field of "art history" was developed in the West, and originally dealt exclusively with Western art history, with the High Renaissance (and its Greek precedent) as the defining standard.
		Study of the history of art is a relatively recent phenomenon; prior to the Renaissance, the modern concept of "art" did not exist, and art was used to refer to workmanship by generally anonymous tradesmen.
		In Byzantine and Gothic art of the Middle Ages, the dominance of the church insisted on the expression of biblical and not material truths.

	Art history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art history (also sometimes called history of art, particularly when a university subject) is a term which encompasses several different methods of studying the visual arts; in its most common usage it refers to the academic study of works of art and architecture.
		Winckelmann's writings were also early works of art criticism, criticising the excesses of the Baroque and Rococo and instrumental in bringing about the change of taste in favour of sober Neoclassicism.
		While he wrote about numerous time periods and themes in art, he is best remembered for his commentary on sculpture from the late middle ages and early Renaissance, at which time he saw evidence of capitalism emerging and feudalism declining.

	French Art - Character And Origin
		In the field of the fine arts, as in nearly every other in which the French genius shows itself, the results are evident of an intellectual co-operation which insures the development of a common standard and tends to subordinate idiosyncrasy.
		The fine arts, as well as every other department of mental activity, reveal the effect of that social instinct which is so much more powerful in France than it is anywhere else, or has ever been elsewhere, except possibly in the case of the Athenian republic.
		Some critics have even fancied, for example, that Greek architecture and sculpture—the only Greek art we know anything about—were chiefly concerned with form, and that the ideas behind their perfection of form were very simple and elementary ideas, not at all comparable in complexity and elaborateness with those that confuse and distinguish the modern world.

	origin decorative art
		The origin of the amygdale is in the olduvian " chopping-tool ", of which probably, also after several hundreds of thousand of years, it has conserved, at least in part, the original use.
		The analysis of the art applied to the tools develops itself totally on the typology of the amygdales, where numerically predominates the amygdale multishapes, followed from the anthropomorphic amygdale and from that zoomorphic.
		The origin of the decorativa art is in the Acheulean, but this origin goes understood like an ensemble of origins, different in the time and in the space, regarding (in varied measure applied art and ornamentale art) the Mousterian, the Aurignacian, the Gravettian, the Solutrean, the Magdalenian and the Azilian.

		The Origin of Art in Entoptic Phenomena
		January 29, 2006 5:49 PM The Origin of Art in Entoptic Phenomena Relatively recent research suggests cave art is neither simply 'art for art's sake' nor 'hunting magic', rather a representation of entoptic phenomena associated with hallucinations during altered or trance states of consciousness.
		Art was thus attributed a societal functionality since the beginning of human times and that functionality that was devised tens of thousands of years earlier...

	On the Origin of Stasis: Battson, Art
		The origin of the major body plans is not the result of the increasing diversity of the lower taxa; the general pattern is not bottom to top.
		In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and such other facts, might come to the conclusion that each species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species.
		In considering the origin of phyla and the stability of the major body plans, it is quite conceivable that scientists, reflecting upon the empirical evidence of the history of life on earth might come to the conclusion that mechanisms exist which prevent major evolutionary change from occurring on a gradual step-by-step basis.

	Chicano Art Resource - CEMA California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives - Chicano Art
		Chicano art is a straightforward activist, political (in the sense of "choosing a side" on an issue), and didactic art form that calls on the viewer to educate him or herself about the cultural origin of the art and the intentions of the artists in order to appreciate and understand it.
		In the case of Chicano and Chicana art and artists, it is the self- chosen, and highly symbolic name and public self-identification as "Chicano/Chicana artists," as well as the social-aesthetic concerns of their works that binds them together in the creative waters of Contemporary American art.
		The art which was documented in the slides which will accompany the packets, includes photographs of original works of art, but also many photographs of the very real interdisciplinary process and context in production and exhibition of Chicano art, which at times gives new meaning to the concept of the visual arts.

		As art remains in the museum of our minds, it engages us into a relationship of stillness and contemplation that sometimes stirs the emotion sufficiently to acknowledge the spiritual and physical dimensions of inspiration that become an artist’s realization.
		At art school U Lun Gywe learnt to paint by copying and mastering correct form that was encompassed in the conservative academic values typically taught during his era.
		As a teacher, U Thein Han encouraged his students to be diligent about the fundamentals of art, the nature of art, and to develop their own artistic feeling in order to succeed as artists.

	Altered States: The Origin of Art in Entoptic Phenomena
		Entoptics are geometric patterns whose origins are in the nervous system itself, whereas hallucinations are iconic and culturally determined and may be experienced in all senses (aural, visual, tactile, olfactory and synesthetic) not just the visual.
		Clearly, the idea that parietal art is solely the production of children seems unlikely, but there is nothing to suggest that child art could not appear alongside "remarkably 'realistic' depictions" by adults, and the remote and "inaccessible" parts of caves might be more easily reached by a smaller person.
		It is something of a stretch to try and find the origin of art in art therapy, but the general direction of the thrust, the development of a new behaviour in response to stress, might suggest at least a direction in which to look.

	Message Board: Cave Art and the Origin of Speech
		When art empowered humans to associate the drawing with the real object, then speechless humans were able to make an analogy between objects and their associated sounds,a process that eventually led to the first name-sounds.
		Cave art served as a reference point for humans, but animal calls have no points of reference since animals are unable to make analogies; their sounds remain instrumental, but never become referential.
		Cave art, I believe, was the first sign of the presence of a symbolic function, which we know to facilitate both art and language.

		Once the representational idea has taken root, art is off and running and there is no need for another camera obscura image.
		What we see in the deep cave is the visual lexicon of the daylight tent-camera/plaquette process (upside-down orientation and a host of other features) sometimes being applied to cave walls, but this is a matter of translation, of applying a visual logic developed in the tent.
