Chapter 3

Themes Of Art!

           


The first picture from the left is a mosaic and ceramic tile, by Nasr al- Mulk mosque Shiraz.
This picture is different from our text book but has the same tools to create such art.
This piece of art caught my attention because its really fascinating. If i had a mansion i would love to to have these mosaic art pieces in a big dinning hall. A place for a fancy ball or something.
But i would definitely want this kind of art in my house.
In the text it says that during the 19th century, these kind of paintings we're discouraged for religious reasons from representing human and animal forms. I am not sure how the mosaic art represents human and animal forms but if it was a religious thing, i wouldn't be able to have it in my mansion house . :(

Now the second piece of art is the upper chapel sainte- chapelle in paris.
From the text i believe if i read correctly this was made specifically for the king.
This picture caught my eyes in many different reasons.
One just how beautiful it looks, even with the candle light lit up, and when the sun is out how the colors that would show.
Two i liked this because it really makes you want to live in a big mansion, makes you feel like a princess :)
I would love to fall asleep in this room, i would never mind sleeping on the floor.
To me this would be like looking up at the stars at night.

These two pictures really bring beautiful colors out and happiness on someones face.
