To see art the way that we see it, it has to get through time. people who happen to have done art in the past wanted to leave a mark on generations in the future. In Art, people can express themselves and let their ideas flow. contemplating art and the role of an artist, drawing is often one of the first mediums that come to mind. It is a powerful artistic tool for bringing ideas to life and transforming them into valuable works. Drawing has been an integral form of artistic expression since the dawn of civilization, continuously evolving in style and mediums across centuries. It is a versatile medium that transcends age and skill level, enjoyed by artists and non-artists. Drawing, in many ways, defines our humanity. It allows us to externalize our thoughts, giving them tangible form on paper or other surfaces. Through drawing, we are able to convey our deepest emotions, capturing moments and sharing narratives in ways that words alone often struggle to do justice. Through intricate details, bold lines, or subtle shading, drawing provides a means to communicate and connect with others, transcending language and cultural barriers. It is a medium that celebrates individual creativity, allowing each artist to leave their unique mark on the world.

In this episode of "Feathers of Fascination: The
Beauty in the Bird World," we're talking about
why some male birds have really bright and
colorful feathers to attract female birds. We
wonder if it's right to say these feathers are
"beautiful" or if it's just that female birds like
them. We're curious about whether birds can
actually see beauty like people do or if it's all
about their instincts for them.
We've got bird-thinking experts chatting about
whether beauty is something that only people
can appreciate or if animals, like birds, can
appreciate it too. We'll look into how scientists
figure out what birds find attractive and whether
the idea of beauty is different for humans and
birds.
The discussion will also touch on some big
questions about beauty. Is beauty something
that's the same for everyone and everything, or
does it change depending on who's looking?
This episode will make you think more about
how we see beauty in the world around us and
how that might be similar or different for other
creatures like birds.

In today's discussion me, Anthony and Samantha
reviewed the information we reserved based on our
case study which we used as the evidence to
evaluate how important art is to a person's well-
being and can it improve well-being or not? That
was the final question. As the result of our
discussion, we all agreed that based on the
research and personal experience plus observations
art does impact mental health. Art and music can
increase a person's mood, make them more
initiative, and creative. By creating your own art you
as a person become not only creative but you learn
how to be in control, how to manage emotions and
trust the process. Besides that art will open up your
eyes about how different we all are, our tastes are
different as well and not every kind of art is good for
every single person. Another great point that we
made is that art can connect people. You can get to
know a lot of new friends by simply talking about
art, creating art together, or just find people with
similar interests.

conditions as others. That is why we believe that creating

and the hard life he went through, not only makes him a
great painter but also a hero of his own life. How lucky
we are because he left his thoughts and imagination in
what we know today about his art

The artistry of gardens and activist art are often thought of as polar forms of expression in comparison. During the Stuart Period, a time of great religious and political revolution, landscape architecture began to adopt revolutionist tendencies. One of the greatest examples of this is through the work of William Kent’s Elysian Garden. Elysian Fields are thought to be the final resting place of heroic and virtuous souls in Greek Mythology. During the extreme embrace of Catholicism during the Stuart Period, these gardens pushed boundaries to make a statement for societal change. Discussed in this podcast, we explore how these gardens and gardens alike pushed boundaries in their interpretation of enjoyers, how interpreting these forms of art can be compared to “reading”, and explore the limitations of these bodies of work.

In 1958, Alexander Calder's mobile "Pittsburgh" was donated by a private collector to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, for installation in the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. The mobile was originally black and white, but when it was installed, Allegheny County had painted it green and gold to match its official colors. While Calder did protest, his work was not restored to the original black and white during his lifetime.
Having already relinquished ownership of the work when it was sold to the collector, did Calder, as the creator of the work, still have a right to insist that it not be altered? Even if he did not, was it wrong for Allegheny County to alter the artwork against his wishes?

Alexander Calder, who was known as ‘Sandy’, was an American sculptor from Pennsylvania. His father was a renowned sculptor, Alexander Stirling Calder, and his grandfather and mother were equally as successful.

The Ghent Altarpiece is an extensive and highly detailed polyptych or multi-paneled altarpiece, that was created by the Flemish artist Jan van Eyck and his brother Hubert van Eyck in the early 15th century. The altarpiece is considered to be one of the most important works of art from the Northern Renaissance.

In the late nineteenth century, the Berlin Museum, which then owned part of the paintings belonging to the Ghent Altarpiece, separated the painted fronts of these panels from their backs, which were also painted, by sawing them apart. This harsh measure was intended to facilitate the exhibition of the panels and their inspection by an art-loving public. But it also served to obscure the fact that the panels were created as ecclesiastical objects for display in a church, and to stress their character simply as art.

Jackson Pollock was a highly influential American painter who played a significant role in the abstract expressionist movement. His unique painting style, which involved pouring or dripping paint onto a canvas placed on the floor, created dynamic and energetic works of art that invited viewers to immerse themselves in the painting's movement and texture. Pollock's relationship with Dr. Joseph Henderson and his marriage to Lee Krasner were also essential parts of his artistic journey. Despite his struggles with alcohol addiction, Pollock's artistic output was prolific, and his influence can still be seen in contemporary art today.

In this episode, we will be discussing Case Study: The Color of Pittsburgh, by Alexander Calder, a Pittsburgh native. The American sculptor grew up as a scrappy engineer with an artist's heart. His masterpiece "Pittsburgh" was the center of discussion for it's controversial repainting. With two sides arguing their relative correctness, we will explore the facts behind the controversial repainting of a sculpture created in the 50s, which was later donated to the Larger Pittsburgh area airport. The debate comes down to the property and intellectual rights of an artist and their dictation in the artwork. The panel will discuss and buttress their arguments in order to answer the questions about artist autonomy and the monetization of artwork. Join us for a discussion on The Color of Pittsburgh.

Going back to the 20th century there was a quirky and imaginative artist who brought whimsy and movement to the world of sculpture. He also transformed the traditional static art form into a playful and dynamic experience. This artist was Alexander Calder! He was most famous, particularly for his "Mobile Pittsburgh,".It is a unique expression of his artistic vision and a reflection of the time and place in which it was created. However, this artwork which was originally black and white was painted green and gold when it was donated by a private collector to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. This issue was seen as destroying its historical value since it was made without Calder’s consent.

Alexander Calder was known for his grand sculptures and abstract art. In 1958, Calder unveils his latest sculpture, a 28x28 foot mobile called "Pittsburgh." Calder being a Philadelphia native, constructed this mobile from aluminum and iron to be representative of the state’s industrial-heavy history. After its debut at the 1958 Carnegie International exhibition, it was bought by a private collector and donated to Allegheny Country, who then installed it in the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. It is all down-hill from here, the county executives defaced the sculpture by painting it green and yellow along with altering the immobilizing the "mobile" and adding a motor to make it move once again. Calder was outraged with what they had done to his creation, county executives settled on painting the mobile Calder Red, but after diluting the paint too much it turned out pink! It then took about 34 years after its debut to be returned to its original glory as a black and white mobile made of aluminum and iron.

Join us on FIU’s Exploring Art Podcast as we discuss one of Joe Brown’s famous and controversial sculptures, Gymnasts (Two Athletes) (1969). We explore how social norms affect the audience’s interpretation of an art piece and the artist’s intentions. Our main message: an artist’s original vision should never be obstructed.

View Details

How controversial can a sculpture of two athletes of the opposite sex be? Who will be depicted as stronger? The man or woman? And finally, how can we craft an artistic piece without being judged by the feminist movement? Even though many athletes, regardless of their sex, may seem to be stronger than others, altering their proportions when it comes to sculpting and leaving women as small as they are may seem is not the best way to go. Joe Brown and his sculpture of two athletes made for the 1936 Summer Olympics is a great example to study these concerns and nudity issues. The woman is not only smaller than the man but it is shown naked, unlike the man who is dressed. Feminists have raised a flag over the issue of inequality, and we have joined the debate to support them with further evidence. My classmate Eric, Madelaine,  and I have come together to discuss the matter in a few minutes, considering design elements like symmetry, scale, and proportion, plus social standards and moral values in our society.

Joe Brown, a well-known athletic sculptor from Princeton, New Jersey, created a larger-than-life bronze of two gymnasts for Temple University in Philadelphia. The man figure, dressed in clothes with both feet on the pedestal, does a dramatic handstand with the unclothed girl high over his head. In response to feminist objections that the sexes are unequal in his work, Mr. Brown stated that he originally meant both figures to be naked. Still, a naked guy at street level in a city would attract vandals to spray paint or decorate it in other ways, so he added the shorts. In this episode, we will discuss what we think of this statue and its influence on society.

Today, we will discuss the Ghent Altarpiece, which Jan Van Eyck and Hubert Van Eyck painted. They made this painting during the Northern Renaissance period, and the theme is based on Christianity. Ghent Altarpiece's meaning is the Biblical story of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice. You can see the significance of Christ's sacrifice when they show it with a lamb pouring blood into a chalice. This lamb is a depiction of Christ's sacrifice. In this painting, you can see how the lamb is an essential reference to Christ because next to the altar are angels holding a cross. The angels and cross depict his crucifixion, implying that the lamb in the image is about to get crucified. The Van Eyck brothers used oil paint for the Ghent Altarpiece to try and make the finest of details on this piece of work. For those who don't know what an altarpiece is, it is a work of art that decorated the space above and behind the altar in a Christian church. That is why the Ghent Altarpiece is in St. John the Baptist, now the Cathedral of St. Bavo.

The adoration of the mystic lamb, also known as Ghent Altarpiece, was begun in the mid-1420 and completed before 1432 by Jan van Eyck and his brother Hubert. Jan van Eyck was a Flemish painter who was one of the founders of Early Netherlandish painting, the medium that Jan van used was oil and oak wood to make this painting.  There is no convincing information to determine artistic attribution. The Ghent Altarpiece is a large and complex 15th-century polyptych altarpiece in Saint Bavo’s Cathedral chapel in Belgium, but it was moved for security reasons to the main cathedral chapel, where it is today.  The altarpiece is considered a masterpiece of European art and one of the world’s treasures. The Altarpiece has been the victim of 13 crimes since its installation, and seven thefts. Nearly 600 years old, the panels have been threatened by theft, war damage, peace settlements, outbreaks of iconoclasm , and have suffered fire damage. The idealization of traditional medieval art gives way to realistic representations of nature and humanity.

With an in-depth look into the question “what is art?”, we try to apply the concepts discussed to give an opinion on whether or not Cage’s 4’33” is, in fact, a work of art, as well as whether or not it can be considered a piece of music.

This “silent” performance of 4’33”has encountered great controversy over time since its first performance in 1952, so follow along and answer the questions for yourself as we look into this case.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe was undergoing a Renaissance, where a newfound appreciation for antiquity allowed artists to express the idealized virtues of a transforming society. As the Renaissance period gave way to the Baroque, themes of humanism and naturalism remained strong. Still, a new wave of artists rejected the typical bombast of established masters for subdued depictions of their subjects. This episode examines Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s 17th-century painting Conversion on the Way to Damascus. It fits the shift between Renaissance and Baroque and addresses criticism from later influential art critics and cultural historians.

In this episode of our podcast, we will discuss the representation of the Apostles on the “Act of Apostles” tapestry by the famous Italian artist Raphael, according to Reynolds's following statement. "In all of the pictures in which Raphael has represented the apostles, he has drawn them with great nobleness; he has given them as much dignity as the human figure is capable of receiving; yet we are expressly told in scripture they had no such respectable appearance; and of Saint Paul, in particular, we are told by himself, that his bodily presence was mean." Raphael represented St. Paul as noble and with such dignity, but the history behind St. Paul is not as noble as Raphael wanted to show us. Why did Raphael that? What did Raphael intend to express?

In our podcast episode “Raphael: Misleading or Devotional”, we answer the question: Are Raphael's depictions of the apostles, and particularly of St. Paul, true? False? Informative? Misleading? We first started by providing some background information on Raphael including some of his paintings. Then we continued by analyzing one of his paintings “St Paul preaching at Athens” in order to answer the question. Based on the background information on St Paul and Raphael's Style which includes the emotions he likes to depict in his paintings, we were able to conclude that his representation of St Paul was informative.

Today we will be delving into the beautiful artwork of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an extraordinary Italian painter that got his name by shedding a light on religion through large-scale, intense realism. For this podcast, we will be zeroing in on his Conversion of St. Paul piece, a painting illustrating a horse and two men in battle, it reminds me somewhat of the Creation of Adam portrait by Michelangelo, only with more of a violent tone. However, Jacob Burckhardt, Benard Berenson, and Rudolf Wittkower have a different take on what the painting may mean. Our goal is that by analyzing this painting and picking out certain points of symbolism we can eventually declare which writer is correct in their interpretation of the painting. How does that sound?

Cezanne made painting after painting of Mont-Sainte-Victoire, often from exactly the same spot. For the duration of Cezanne’s career, after his adoption of impressionism, he has made countless paintings of Mont Saint Victoire and have displayed an evolution of his style, transitioning from impressionism to post-impressionist (and nearly the beginning of cubism). The mountain was his motif as he consciously cultivated his association with the mountain and possibly may have wanted to be documented painting it.

Buddhism’s impact was fundamental to Japan, just like Christianity in the West, in terms of politics, culture, and society. Apart from bringing the Buddha’s teachings to Japan, Buddhism brought groundbreaking technologies to the country such as writing, architectural advancements, metal engineering, and art.

Buddhism artists were known to embody the religious teachings in mesmerizing works of art full of knowledge and meaning, the Great Eastern Temple and its magnificent sculptures being one of the many examples of such principle.

Could a contemporary person depict, discern, and understand the meaning and importance behind Buddhist art without the necessary tools and knowledge? If not, would the artwork lose its essence and value if it is contemplated uniquely through the lenses of a subjective approach rather than one that solely considers its original intent? If that were the case, would that be an erroneous assessment, and why?

Stay tuned in to listen to our opinions and conclusions on the matter.
