christian Arts

Christian Arts is sacred art produced in an attempt to illustrate, supplement and portray in tangible from the principles of Christianity, though other definitions are possible. Most Christian group use or have used art to some extent, although some have had strong objection to some forms of religious image, and there have been major periods of iconoclasm within Christianity.
Images of Jesus and narrative scenes from the Life of Christare the most common subject, and scenes from the Old Testament play a part in the art of most denominations Images of the Virgin Mary and saint are much rare in Protestant art than that of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.

BYZANTINE ART:

Many Eastern Orthodox states in Eastern Europe. as well as to some degree the Muslim states of the eastern Mediterranean, preserved many aspects of the empires culture and art for centuries afterward.

Ancient & Classical Arts!!

Questions:

1. What are your most striking impressions on Ancient and Classical Arts?
2. Do you believe these two eras of art have any influence on your personal style as an artist?
3. What interests you most on the predominant artistic style and subject matter of the two periods.
4. Do you think it will be easy to create artworks inspired by the two periods of art? Why or why not?

For me the most striking impressions is the Art of Ancient because Ancient refers of art that produced by the advanced cultures of ancient societies with some from of writing, such as those of ancient in China, India, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.

The art of per-literate societies is normally referred to Prehistoric art and is not coved here.
Even Classical Arts refers to the ancient art and architecture in Greece and Rome. It is particularly connected  with geometry and symmetry rather that individual expression.

 Ancient times affect modern ones, as the influences of the past commingle with those of the present. Ancient Egyptian art and architecture influence design choice of today, but contemporary designs achieves a modern fell with upgraded material and different textures. This allows an updated and fresh take on an old look.

In Ancient times Greece was the birthplace of Western Cultural. Because the modern democracies owe a debt to Greek beliefs in government by the people, trial by jury, and equality under the law. Which they introduced such as importance of literary forms as epic and lyric poetry, history, tragedy, and comedy. In their pursuit of order and proportion in the Greeks. Greeks created an ideal of beauty that strongly influenced Western Art.

I think the most  interested predominant artistic style in CLASSICAL ARTS. is the Sculpure or the Archaic Period because all kouros (male) and kore ( female ) statues represent sponsored subject or are designed as decoration of religious building, or as immortal reminders of the virtues of a deceased.

In ancient art the best i think is The Ancient Near East because it as the first to paractice the intensive year-round Agriculture it gave the rest of the world the first writing system, invented the potter's wheel and then the vehicular and mill wheel

Now a days i think it easy to create an artworks because the materials and elements are now invented and more people interested to create they own artwork.
