I find patterns make an artwork more interesting and it take a lot of focus and precision. I chose this artwork because I like the use of complimentary colors of the blue and orange and how each animal gives a loyal and noble tone.

I think out of all the Greek sculptures, Hellenism is my favorite because it is more dramatic and expressive. I like this one because of the relatable facial expression of exhaustion and worry. It shows that people aren't perfect.

The Knossos Palace is the largest Minoan palace built in ca. 1600-1400 BCE. I choose this artwork because of the open gallery and color. The open yard and vintage look around the gallery makes the colors stand out and bold. The columns were a big feature within the Minoan architecture.

The Kouros is a masculine Archaic sculptures and the Kore is in feminine form. I choose these sculptures because both represent a masculine and feminine side of things. The Kouros represents nude and the Kore represents fully clothed.

I choose this portrait because of the color and the swirling vines, birds and putti which are chubby, nude young boys. The meaning of the vines and the fruits are the representation of the abundance of God. The whole geometric designs, patterns, and the putti brought the whole piece together.

The Ghent Altarpiece has levels to the piece. The upper center part is for God and around him is the Virgin  Mary, John the Baptist, and Adam & Eve. The bottom section is the scene of the new heaven and the new earth. I like the color in this piece and the whole representation/meaning behind it all.

The Pyramids of Giza are my pieces of art from the Egyptians. I like the fact that they had the idea of creating a tomb using a geometric shape. I also like the fact that this piece is based of architecture  and math instead of one of the typical drawings or calligraphy used in this era.

This is one of my favorite art pieces from the Hellenistic periods. I feel like this art piece is the most relatable and shares the most emotion out of Greek pieces. You are able to see his facial expressions by the placement of his facial characteristics. You can see how is brows are down, his mouth is open downwards.

One of the most interesting pieces of art from Ancient Egypt is the Book of the Dead, a record of deaths from the 16th century BCE (start of the New Kingdom). The book captures the Egyptian obsession with death and immortality and includes spells written by priests for over a thousand years that would essentially aid the ka through the underworld. It is a collection of texts written on papyrus, but does include beautiful drawings in the margins that I find really mesmerizing.

I love the vibrant color of the Chapel. It was done by Giotto during the Proto-renaissance era. As you can see, he abandoned the rules of the flat hieratic Byzantine art, but instead favored a greater naturalism aspect.

This painting is done by the Medici family from a Botticelli. This artwork is very beautiful to me. I love the real emotion and use of color and the naturalism. The artwork brings together the eloquence of Gothic art and the humanistic nature of the renaissance era. (my favorite era)

Painted in 1511 by Raphael. It is one of the four main frescoes on the walls of Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The painting symbolizes philosophy b/c it is stated that the painting is a representation of the finest of Greek Philosophy as one can find Aristotle and Plato in the center. To me this painting is eloquent and vibrant. Also, I do believe it captures the classical spirit of the Renaissance, very well.  -Beyonce Solomon

The Snake Goddess is a Minoan sculpture, of which multiple have  been recovered.  I personally find this sculpture very impressive, as it is almost rhythmic in nature, as well as more fluid compared to the sculptures I saw in the Egyptian lesson. The patterns and clothing are also extremely interesting to look at. Not to mention, the slithering snakes are a nice touch. Though its reason for creation are still unknown, I believe that the Snake Goddess is one of the best examples of Minoan art. - Alora Warren

I'm a sucker for sculptures that seemingly capture motion. So when I saw the Nike of Samothrace, or Winged Victory, I knew that this was my personal favorite sculpture from the Greek Hellenistic period. The chiton bunching up, as if facing against blowing wind, the outstretched wings that look as if they are trying to capture the current they face. All of this makes the Winged Victory one of my favorite pieces of art. - Alora Warren

The seated boxer was a sculpture made during the Hellenistic period,and i like it a lot, because it shows more realism compared to most of the other sculptures in that time period , and its very impressive  to me that a human being can make this out of nothing but a piece of rock.

The Dying Gaul depicts a warrior from Gaul who has been severely injured on his side during battle, and will likely die soon. The backstory of this piece is intriguing: he is a Gaul, an ancient Celt, but he is from Anatolia. To my mind, Gauls and Celts lived in France, Britain, and Ireland, so it blew my mind a little to discover the Celtic Galatians of central Asia Minor. His face is a mix of agony and calm, and his mustache is a very interesting thing to see in a Hellenistic sculpture. The portrayal of him as a very strong character who has a relatively small wound (it would still be lethal considering the lack of medical care back then) may also be an attempt to indicate the Galatians' weakness, as the statue represents Pergamon's resounding victory over Galatia.

This is a Minoan sculpture depicting a woman standing upright in a layered dress holding two snakes, that somehow manage to give the artwork a sense of movement. I like the dress because of the different layers of squares, the colors and different patterns. This sculpture doesn't have a purpose, yet it is still interesting to study and to just look at. -- Niya Williams.

The style of this artwork comes from the Roman custom of making meaningful wax portraits of passed love ones. This sculpture looks very realistic due to the very real looking facial features such as the eyes, nose and wrinkled skin. Along with the fabric they are wearing. I like that it kind of looks realistic because it shows more of whats needed to be represented by this sculpture. -- Niya Williams

I like this artwork because it is depicting a very delicate scene of Jesus ascending to heaven while holding God's hand. The tree, birds, and tomb in the background give this artwork some extra life. The savior holding a scroll is also very impactful, its like he's signing off on Jesus ascending. -- Niya Williams

I like this artwork because even tho it is all one sculpture, each one depicts a different facial expression. It's more naturalistic since everything is different and only for one person each. This was influenced by the Romanesque style due to the elongated bodies. -- Niya Williams

This is a mural from 6000 BCE showing people hunting deers. This mural is one of the first to depict a larger amount of humans. I like the style it was drawn in. Even though it is simplistic it's easy to know what's going on.

Though the piece Stonehenge seems boring, it's the deeper meaning behind it that makes it so interesting. I find this to be my favorite because of the inspiration is set for architecture with pillars and caps. On the other hand, it also stirred the theory that maybe the Stonehenge was made through some mythological incident.

I enjoy this piece for a variety of reasons. This is a new(ish) perspective at the time shows the flaws, aging and deterioration instead of an idealistic sculpture common at the time. This is seen through the deep scars all over his body and his posture; seemingly collapsed catching another breath. Another reason I love this piece is the accuracy of the scars as Greek boxing primarily targeted the head and hands as shown with the use of color and the boxer's cauliflower ears.

The adoration of the Magi is an Italian sculpture from 1260 by Nicola Pisano. the work has clear representation from the classical period and shows deep carvings of hair and beards. I love how the work shows extremely efficient use of the space with tightly packed figures. It shows how creative the artist was and how much passion they had in their work Alexia Steele

this Piece is from the middle ages and is clear representation of hiberno-saxson art. This book was one of the many found in monasteries with illuminated monasteries and decorated panels. the art especially thrived in the British Isles during
the time. I really like how the artist used complimenting colors and used pattern to attract the viewers eye

Nike adjusting her sandal was one of the most intense sculptures of the classical period. the gorgeous and finely detailed drapery was one of the main trends of the time of the classical period. Though most figures during the time were focused on perfecting the proportions- Nike was wonderfuly sculpted in motion. which was more common in later periods. Alexia Steele

1. I like this piece of artwork because even though Gudea was king of Mesopotamia he had a humble statue made for him. It also shows realistic characteristics of his facial and body structure while including cuneiform writing on his robe. The writing on his robe shows how advanced his society has become. Justine Boyer

1. This statue stood out to me because of the amount of emotion the whole piece of artwork has. To the twisted torso and the Hellenistic characteristics,it shows a Gaul struggling from a deathly wound after losing to the Romans. Lastly, another interesting quality of the statue has to be its proportional composition. The statute shows him with his hand on his knee hunched over and his realistic facial features impressed me. Justine Boyer

This artwork was my favorite from Gallery three because of the different colors and details that are in it.

The Lamentation tells a story while having a variety of different body postures. My favorite thing in this artwork has to be the fairies flying above the people and Jesus. The mountains and the tree in the background added by Giotto gave an illusionist depth while still focusing on the main subject. Justine Boyer
