in the painting, there is the Sumerian “Master of Animals.” He stands between two animals and this particular stance symbolizes his dominance over the natural world. The painting is a battle scene. The men in red are the sumerians, they are the bad guys in the painting and the attackers. The men in white are the egyptians. The art depicts an attack by boat, launched by the sumerians. There is also a coral in the painting, with wild livestock in it instead of your normal livestock. You never see antelopes and gazelles in a corral, because they cannot be domesticated. Some animals refuse to be held in captivity. These animals will eventually become sick and die if held in captivity for too long. but this was still a big part in egyption culture and continued to be for a long time.

700 AD- The oldest british painting, Lindisfarne Gospels.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lindisfarne gospels is a painting created in 700 AD using vellum and pigment. This painting is over 1300 years old and is in highly decent shape for the painting's age. Some of the pigments used were made from egg white, and lapis lazuli. The island of Lindisfarne was to have sixteen bishops, the first was Aidan, a monk, but the most famous was Cuthbert. This island is where the painting originates. The creator of the Lindisfarne Gospels is believed to have been Eadfrith, a bishop on the Lindisfarne island from 689 AD until his death in 721AD. Remember, there is no real way of telling who the creator of this painting was so it could have been someone else.

This is, believe it or not, a manuscript consisting of 258 leaves of calfskin vellum as pages and aside from its binding which is believed to be lost in a viking raid, it is still in really good condition! The current binding is still pretty old, it is from 1852 and was paid for by Edward maltby. The book is all about the four gospels, Mathew, Luke, Mark, and john. Each of the four gospels in the manuscript begins with a carpet page, showing a colorful pattern. According to an article written by Neil Shorney, the Lindisfarne Gospels took 10 years to create. This work of art is the first known translation of the Gospels into English!

In 1482, an artist named Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, painted the famous Primavera painting. This painting features nine figures from mythology in a flowery field in a grove of orange and laurel trees. The people painted in this painting are Zephyrus, Chloris, Flora (the transformed version of Chloris), Venus, a cupid, the three Graces, and mercury.

This painting was painted on wood or panel, and was painted with tempera paint. The dimensions are 207 by 319 centimeters and is now housed in the uffizi gallery in italy. It took about five full years to paint!

This painting also has a story behind it. According to an article written by Solomon, climate activists GLUED themselves to the painting! on july 2, 2022, a man and a women from an activist group glued themselves to the protective glass of the primavera painting. no damage was done to the painting, but it was quite a feat. in one of the photos shown of the incident, many people are crowded around the scene, taking photos with their phones of the two glued to the painting. there was one third activist, who according to the article unfurled a banner reading “Ultima Generazione No Gas No Carbone (Last Generation, No Gas, No Coal).” the three activists were handcuffed, and removed by security. later on, the ultima generazione group posted on their website that they intended to do no harm to the painting, and even used glass safe glue to protect the art.

The last supper was painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1498. It is one of the most copied paintings in history. The painting depicts Jesus at his last supper, just before revealing that someone, one of his disciples, will kill him before sunrise. In this painting we see him eating his last supper with his disciples. The layout of this painting is largely horizontal.

Believe it or not, many art historians believe the fact that Leonardo da Vinci believed in nature, not god. Because of this, he made his paintings different by not putting halos on Jesus as many artists before, and after him did. The painting, believe it or not, is a FAILED experiment. Leonardo, instead of painting on a wet plaster wall as many traditional artists do, painted on a dry plaster wall with tempera paint. After just a few decades, the painting flaked away and we are looking at what is left of the masterpiece. the painting is no longer 100% da vinci's work, it has been restored many times in order to keep its beauty, one restorer named ''Panin Brambilla Barcilon and his crew relied on microscopic photographs, core samples, and sonar to remove the added layers of paint and restore the original as accurately as possible.'' says one article by leonardodavinci.net.

believe it or not, this painting survived a bomb in world war two. allied leaders bombed a large number of italian cities, destroying a lot of christian art as well as numerous buildings.

the bomb that almost destroyed the artwork landed 80 feet away, destroying many walls and cousin the roof to collapse. it's quite the miracle that the painting survived. believe it or not, the last supper was involved in another war, used as target practice for Napoleon’s soldiers.

Renaissance art was created in Europe and marked the rebirth of classical learning and wisdom. because this art in particular was made in Europe and represented many areas of their culture such as art, religion, and literature.

one of the most important and known paintings of the renaissance era was the mona lisa. The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1503, and is still one of the most recognized paintings in all of history! It is argued whether she is smiling or not, and the main feature in this painting is the way that her eyes always follow you from every angle you look at her in.

Despite The Mona Lisa's magnificent beauty...people have damaged this painting in numerous ways. The Mona Lisa was attacked a total of FIVE TIMES! In 1911, the mona lisa was stolen by the Italian handyman Vincenzo Peruggia. After a little over two years of the Mona Lisa's disappearance, Vincenzo Peruggia sold the work to a dealer in Florence in an attempt to give Italy the treasure it had lost. The sale backfired when the dealer called the director of the Uffizi Galleries. They took the work back, called the police, and Vincenzo Peruggia was sent to live 6 months in prison.

The school of Athens was painted by Raphael as part of his commission to decorate the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The stanze di raffaello is Italian for the Raphael rooms. famous for their frescoes painted by Raphael (obviously). These rooms were created by a theologian and meant to represent the three greatest categories of the human spirit...Truth, Good and Beauty.

In the center of the fresco there are two highly important people in the painting, Plato ( the old man on the left) and Aristotle, his student(the man on the right.). Plato was Socrates' prized student, he came from a wealthy background and devoted himself to philosophy. According to Plato, the world tries to be perfect, and complete. He believes God created the world with a blueprint or a plan for it. If the world isn't perfect, according to Plato, it's not because God is imperfect but the materials being used to create this world were not perfect. Aristotle was Plato's student. His father was a physician and served the grandfather of Alexander the Great. like how plato was socrates prized student, plato's prized student. he was extremely interested in identifying plants and animals.

In the painting there are 52 characters total. There are various figures connected to philosophical events. Believe it or not, the staircase is symbolic in the painting. it represents different degrees of science, each character has a place on the ladder according to knowledge.

The creation of Adam, painted by Michelangelo, was completed in 1512. This painting is found on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The painting shows God and Adam almost touching, becoming a symbol of humanity.

originally, michelagelo's work was mainly limited to sculpting, in fact, he sculpted the statue of david in florence which is a highly known piece of art. Pope Julius II della Rovere, called in Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the sistine chapel. Michelangelo was not very fond of this idea, he would rather sculpt than paint, regardless, he took on the huge job and made history without even knowing it.

the fingers don't touch in the painting to symbolize the gap between god and man. the red cloud in which god is inside represents the human brain, but another idea has come up, what if...the cloud represented the womb? It is unclear but both are pretty reasonable explanations. Simply, this painting represents God giving life to Adam.

This painting is the second most copied painting in the world, first being The last supper by da vinci. Many people believe that the fingers touch, but they actually do not. it is purposely created that way to symbolize the gap between god and man. If you look closely at the painting, you can see there is a woman figure at the bottom of God's arm, believed to be eve. It is said she is waiting for her own creation from Adam's rib. Another theory is that she is Mary. the mother of Jesus.

1854- charge of the light Brigade (many paintings) PLEASE NOTE half of this post is a poem.

# data[].attributes.body
The Charge of the Light Brigade took place during a battle on October 25, 1854. Through a miscommunication of orders, the Light Brigade of an estimated 600 horsemen began to charge into a valley with no trees.The objective of the battle was to capture Russian field artillery. The valley was ringed on three sides by some 20 battalions of Russian infantry and artillery.

This painting is painted on panel painting by Lex Lucius who often paints with a rag. the painting was inspired by a poem and goes...Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

II

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed?

Not though the soldier knew

Someone had blundered.

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

III

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of hell

Rode the six hundred.

IV

Flashed all their sabres bare,

Flashed as they turned in air

Sabring the gunners there,

Charging an army, while

All the world wondered.

Plunged in the battery-smoke

Right through the line they broke;

Cossack and Russian

Reeled from the sabre stroke

Shattered and sundered.

Then they rode back, but not

Not the six hundred.

V

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon behind them

Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with shot and shell,

While horse and hero fell.

They that had fought so well

Came through the jaws of Death,

Back from the mouth of hell,

All that was left of them,

Left of six hundred.

VI

When can their glory fade?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wondered.

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Light Brigade,

Noble six hundred!

As clearly shown, this painting is about the attack and describes How He sees them as great heros and very important figures in our history, all six hundred.

There are actually multiple paintings of this event, all depicting the battle and noble men. In almost every one of these paintings, the main subject seems to be their commander, James Brudenell. He lived from 1797 to 1868. His father was Robert, sixth earl of Cardigan. He was the only surviving son but had 7 SISTERS! James was married to a woman named Penelope Ann Cooke. known for his temper, He twice put Captain Augustus Wathen under arrest.

This painting was a symbol of the historic event that took place and showed the way tHe Horsemen fought. The point of the painting was to give credit to the men who fought in the event.

John Whitney was one of the first people to develop computer-generated art in the early 1960s. In the 1970s, artists like Harold Cohen and Vera Molnar created digital art using computer graphics software, like the IBM System/360 and the Evans & Sutherland PS-1. the 80s was a major development time for technology. this is the time the the Macintosh computer was created. the very First online art galleries and cyber museums came into reality during this decade.

AI tools such as chat GBT are a huge part of the modern art. AI stands for artificial intelligence and can generate art, writings, and images out of text.

there is also other ways to create ai art. one of them is the method following: the artist chooses images to feed the computer or device wich then the algorithm imitates the pictures...creating a new set of images, which are selected and approved by the artist. The algorithms used to produce art with this process are called GAN’s wich stands for Generative Adversarial Networks. Mario Klingemann is also another AI artist. In 2017, he created six prints using AI models, where he experimented with the inputs that feed the algorithm. he on the human body turning stick figures into AI paintings. Augmented Reality (AR) is another popular digital tool that allows modern artists to express their creativity. AR creates an image where the real-life world and the digital world combine with each other. Real-world objects are enhanced by computer-generated information that is affecting sense.

Digital art has been increasing in popularity and is very common now especially among animators. It is supposed to be more effective, efficient, and accurate that regular art. With digital art the most common tools are…

Drawing- in this you can draw on your document with your finger or a touch pen in order to create marks or small doodles and characters. They have many shapes and sizes and strokes in this drawing feature in order to make it look as realistic as possible.

Crop- crop down your image size or adjust the shaper by stretching the boarder

Remove- one of the newer features that allows you to remove certain subjects in the photos or images

Stickers-put a cute little image on yours!

And Text- write on your image

This type of art is very different from other art because it does not require freehand.you can use different backgrounds as outlines and can draw using refrances.

This time the work was done completely by me. I have several digital art apps and they all have these tools. I know most animators use the tools like this to make their charicters and they come out really interesting. A favorite of mine is Picsart.
