I have set up this blog to provide a forum for student to make posts for extra credit. The blog will be open only to members of my two Survey classes. You can post items on the blog such as images, videos, links, etc., or share your own original thoughts. You may comment on something discussed in class, for example. All posts must be accompanied with a brief explanation in your own words (45-word minimum) of what each posted or linked item is about. No explanation is required for posts of original thoughts (it’s assumed that such posts will be more than 45 words). If an original post uses sources for information and/or ideas, these must be cited in footnotes. Always use your own wording unless you quote directly (in which case you need to put the wording within quotation marks). Students should link to articles rather than copy and paste entire articles on the blog (to comply with copyright laws). Topics can be related to any art period (and any country, society, culture, or artist), but topics that deal with art made prior to 1400 will be looked at very favorably.
Please Note: You'll be able to post after you respond to my request to add you as an author.

The flight into Egypt
ReplyDeletethis painting was done by Jacopo Bassano during the the time of 1510-1592. it was founded by the Norton Simon Art Foundation. Jacopo Bassano specialized in the production of Biblical Pastoral scenes, so painting this scene was “right up his alley.”
his use of rich colors and gestural lines impacts the viewer that much more. His attention to detail is just fantastic and makes the painting so much more realistic.
