The Roman Colosseum

The colosseum was built in Rome, Italy. At the time in Rome the colosseum was a place for a lot of people could sit and watch entertainment.  The entertainment was mostly people killing animals or people killing each other.  The people killing each other where mostly slaves that was not from Rome and was controlled by the rulers in Rome.  The colosseum construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

the thinker

The Thinker was created by Auguste Rodin in 1902. In that time Auguste works portray a wide range of human emotions often including defeat, pain and sorrow. The statuesque figure is wrought in the classical style while the pose was Rodin. The Thinker original name is the Poet. The pice was part of a commission by the Mus'ee des Arts De'coratifs the (Museum of Decorative Arts) in 1880 to grace the doors at the entrances to the museum. The Thinker was meant to embody the 1321 work the Devine Comedy. The Thinker was relief in a full-size in 1902 to create the finished statue, though the full-size casting of The Thinker was not shown until 1904. This statue inspired people worldwide for over 100 years and also a icon for the philosophy and the mental discipline.

Is art losing its value

I think an original artwork losses its value either its been stretched or the top part of the art work been cut to fit on paper, game covers, CD covers, DVD covers or on a poster and like this picture it has been reproduced many times, its also had other things added to the picture like words, change to the colors and adding other characters to make the picture look good. This picture looks like its lost its fetchers witch means its been cut down on the left side and its also lost its original colors. I think pictures loses its value and it also makes you wonder witch picture is the original. Its kinda hard to spot the value on the picture. I also think the original picture has its value if people look harder and spot its value in the artwork its self.

My idea for my painting

The idea i am going with is this superman ripping his shirt off and also paint a woman where the S logo is and paint the logo on her face just to show people who that  man is that is superman. My idea that I'm using is to relate my other two paintings that I'd done and thought i will combined them together so that my paintings relate to each other. The woman that I'm painting was out of this magazine that id ripped out of just so i can paint her and also have a chance to paint something that is actually real to paint in stead of a painted picture that spouse to be real. I used Joe Quesada for an idea in my last piece because the art work are both incoming with super hero's. The movement for my art work is Figurative. are two figures that are recognised superman and a woman.

moving art.

The idea in moving art is looking at a odd picture an seeing if it moves that's the key idea of what the artist is showing it also plays tricks on your mind by making you think if the image is moving. The key idea is illusion, this art work is an illusion and it makes people think when they look rely hard to see if it is moving. Some times art work like this makes you focus on that one little dot and your eyes See's another dot move and when you go to have a look it rely never moves that's what i mean when your mind plays tricks on you. The swerve lines and the dots creates the illusion when they look very fearfully at the picture. The key idea for this picture creates the use of flow witch makes the some of the line gets sucked into the center of the canvas.

This art movement work is the vibration (metal movement) 2006 from Monica Karppinen.

Edith Amituanai

Edith photos could be represented in a south auckland community because her photos that she takes, are of her island life style witch i think in most homes in the south auckland districts are kinda similar. Edith had taken a photo of her living room and she described how her family's living room look like. she also had taken photos of other family's living room witch also described how they live. i think to me her photos that she takes describe how some family's live different to others like in a cultural way or in a normal life style. i think her photos would good to represent the south auckland community because of the island cultural that most of the people are in.

ross brown

(Photography is, first of all, a way of seeing. It is not seeing itself. by Susan Sontag.) (Ross believes that advertising photography can be an art form in its own rights as an evident in his work. by Ross Brown) thats kinda the same as what ross dose with his work because he see's his work in a way for example he use's people and animals together in his photos. i like the way he combined animals with people because it shows how creative his with photos are. i like how he dose this photos that has a arm coming out of a new's paper with a train going past i think it is interesting how he made the photo like that, some times it makes me wonder how he makes photos like that because it changes reality in this way.

this photo that also makes me wonder how he dose the photos using the people and animals witch i think is cool, for example he has a photo of the all blacks i think having a game with lions witch i find interesting to me, also when he uses dancers in a photos its interesting to see a dancer hanging on a Carin. in advertising you don't often see adds in art gallery but you see them on billboard or t,v on posters and in the news paper but with art you don't really see them on billboard and on t,v. Ross is saying his advertising could be art if people stop and take a look at what the message he is tying to send like the all black taking on the lions, that might mean the all blacks are taking on a team from south africa because lions are from africa or it might mean that the all blacks are a strong team so they go and take on the lions.
