Look at the following examples of art and design from Kenya, France, Thailand, the UK, Japan, the USA, the Arabic world (one from Saudi Arabia, the other I'm not sure), China and Taiwan. Can you guess which country each work of art is from? How old do you think each work is? How can you tell if it is recently painted or old? Which ones do you like? What do you like about them? And finally, do you think making art is a universal impulse, and if you do, what makes it universal? If you don't think it is universal, is there anything that connects all the images below?
As usual leave your comments, and this time it would be particularly good if you could post an image of an art work or an example of design that you particularly like and tell us why you like it.

We think that making art is a universal impulse because it's one of ways to express the past events in different dynasties, our emotions or thoughts which are invisible. In addition, art is essential because it makes us happy and gives us energy.

In general, we believe that all the paintings are old and traditional, and they reflect different cultures around the world. For example, the picture No.7 gives us a deep impression of Turkish Islamic culture.
ReplyDeleteWe can take picture No.11 as an example to describe, it contains traditional chinese house which overlooks to the sea that has several boats. In the back of house, there are a vast amount of mountains. The picture has simple colours and not complicated.
To sum up, arts play a crucial role in civilisation, human health and history.

It is reasonable to assume that these paintings show some or many cultures and it concern many people in the world.
ReplyDeleteHowever,to be honest, I dont like paintings as much as poetry because I see them all the same, with all of my respect to the other side of view.
I dont understand the aim of these paintings,nevertheless I can tell that n6 and n11 are incredibly beautiful to focus on the beauty of mather nature.

The art has becom an iportant issue at the present time.consequently,these picture from diffirent countries around the whole world, some of them from the Arabic world, the other I'm not sure maybe from the USA,China, France and the UK.
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite image is old mosqu in demascus because some reasons first is historical picture talk about islamic history in the old days.
obviosly picture number 7 is from a mosque which is definitely in Arab country.Moreover,it has old design which was invented by islamic nation.Inaddition,this picture a bit similar to picture number one which might be from another culture.on the other hand, it indicate that there has been a relation between these cultures for a long time....

I think most of them are quite old because I see they presents the past and the culture of where they come from.
ReplyDeleteI do like 4,10,12 I like the colours and the way of matching every thing but the most I like about them, their meaning, I see each one has a different meaning but all of them have an invesible and mysterious story behind it.
Art is something peapole do like to do it around the whole world because they might have an opportunity to express them self through it
I think as the following:
ReplyDelete1- the arabic world - 200 years ago - old - I like it because it has various colours which are base of other colours e.g. green, blue, red and yellow.
2- the USA - last 50-100 years - old - I dislike it.
3- Japan - last 500 years - old - I like it as it illustrates the Japanese uniform.
4- Kenya - 50 years ago - recently painted - I dislike it.
5- China - last decade - recently painted - I do not like it.
6- The UK - a few years ago - recently painted - I like it.
7- Saudi Arabia - earlier five years - recently painted - I like it.
8- Taiwan - two years ago - recently painted - I like it.
9- Thailand - years ago - recently painted - I dislike it.
10- France - last century - old - I like it.
11- Thiland - last two century - old - I like it.
12- Kenya - last decades - old - I dislike it.
