Ancient Forms - New Designs.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). Classic shapes or forms often repeat

of power. Each society treats these symbols
differently. This discussion will examine some of
those ancient forms, or symbols, plus a modern

Ancient Greek Art
[ send me this paper ]
For many years, the aesthetic interpretation of art was the only accepted interpretation. Then Alex Potts wrote a book on Winckelmann that proposed that art was more than aesthetics, that art included psychological, political and other aspirations. The process became on of finding embodied meanings within art that had otherwise been forgotten. The most shocking of these interpretations by Wincklemann showed that Greek art, once considered to be universalistic in nature, responded to several other measures of great art as posited by the ancient Greeks about ancient Greek Art. Therefore, the concept that is new, should not be new that Ancient Greek art offers a development to include the range of techne, or techniques that contributed to the finely chiseled Greek art with which we are familiar. 5 works cited. jvGreekA.rtf

Ancient Turkish Writing System
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. As the fundamental basis of myriad other languages that followed, ancient Turkish helped to lead the way for other civilizations to cultivate their own language skills. Incorporated into contemporary Turkish are the properties of the ancient written and vocal components of what has now been classified as a lost language. Along with the Sumerians, Elamites, Medes, Scythians, Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, Trojans, Etruscans and Arameans, ancient Turkish -- as it was in the very beginning -- is nothing but a memory in today's world, having left a tremendous legacy behind its cultural contribution. The writer discusses ancient Turkish in relation to writing and language. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Apostolic Succession: Its Evolution In Roman Imagery
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When discussing the theme of apostolic succession and its evolution in Roman imagery � including architecture � from Early Christianity through the seventeenth century, the student will first want to define the notion of apostolic succession. In essence, it represents "Christ's promise to remain with His Church so that 'he who hears you hears Me'" (Kresta, 2001), thereby necessitating human agents in order to uphold this pledge. This "laying on of hands" (Sweeley, no date) established man as the conduit between the Apostles and the rest of humanity, which was inherently conveyed by way of architectural design of the time. Indeed, one might readily surmise that throughout this particular period, architecture illustrated mankind's role of divine interpretation, especially when exploring the vast and varied aspects of religious structures.

Aristotle & Plato on Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the attitudes of Plato and Aristotle toward art. The writer argues that while they both made the fundamental assumption that art is a form of mimesis, the imitative function that is inherent in all forms of art provoked Plato's disdain, but provoked Aristotle's curiosity. An examination of their views demonstrates that Aristotle carried his philosophy of art beyond the concepts put forth by Plato. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Artful Definitions of the Minoan Society
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp). When we try to investigate Minoan society
we encounter a number of problems regarding the
evidence. Because the climate is frequently wet,
most of the perishable evidence has disappeared
with the weather. This makes it hard to construct a
picture of Minoan society. We have some knowledge
about Minoan people, of course, but this is very
fragmentary: only little aspects of the Minoan
social life are ever revealed at one time, mainly
because the written materials are so few, and
because scholars can read only a very little of
this written evidence. Yet, it appears from their
archeological art, that the Minoans as a society
were much more advanced than others of their time.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.
