Ma Yuan/Artist of the Song Dynasty
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper/essay that analyzes a work by Ma Yuan of the Chinese Song Dynasty period. The art of Ma Yuan (c. 1155-1225), along with that of Xia Gui, represents the highest level of Chinese painting during the Song dynasty (1127-1279) (Ma Yuan). During the Southern Song period (1127-1279), court painters continued to favor landscapes as subject material, as they had in the past, but they also favored smaller formats and more lyrical treatments (Southern Song). This examination of a work, Walking on a Mountain path in Spring by Ma Yuan, concentrates on describing its lyric elements, that is, the features of the poem that are designed to evoke emotion on the part of the viewer. Also, a comparison is made between Ma Yuan and Xia Gui. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Miniature Painting in Pakistan: History, Influences and Future
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the history, influences and contemporary issues in miniature painting in Pakistan and India. The art of miniature painting was first known to exist in Persia where it was imported from into India during the 1500s at the beginning of the Mughal dynasties. In the Mughal schools of artistry, the art of miniature painting was given a more intense and dynamic feel which differentiated it from the formal structures used by the Persians. The technique is very specific in its use of wasli paper, squirrel hair brushes and vivid water based paint applied in multiple layers to earn it a silky finish. When the Mughal dynasty was displaced, so too were many of the artists who then had to earn livings applying their craft to other objects such as walls and furniture. During the late 1800s, when Indian nationalism began to take place, a revival of the traditional arts led to the re-introduction of miniature painting into the educational system where artists could earn specialties in it. Today, the art of miniature painting is one of the more popular and traditional methods of art especially found in the graduates of the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, the only school in the world offering a specialty in miniature painting. Modern miniature artists apply traditional Mughal methods in their depictions of the contemporary world and the political and lifestyle issues in Pakistan.

Modernity and the Kama Sutra
[ send me this paper ]
Modern society is obsessed with sex. Any glance at the television screen, tabloids, or even traditional news outlets informs of a world that cannot get enough of the dirty details of a star�s sexual affairs or even those of a Prince and Princess or a President of a country. Today, movie stars and celebrities are considered automatic ambassadors for a country, making the sexploits of these national figures even more riveting to most people than serious global issues. In fact, there is no taboo sexual subject. This makes it difficult for a religious text such as the Kama Sutra to be held up as a religious document and retain the proper respect it is due. 4 works cited. jvkamasu.rtf

Oceania at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
[ send me this paper ]
( 5 pp.) The challenge presented to us in this
discussion is twofold: first to be an "art critic"
from the period when the art was first exhibited,
assuming that it had just been completed by the
artist; the second is to take a negative stance to
the work that I have just seen. The theories that
correspondingly present themselves from this type
of construction is to realize that any type of
artwork may be perceived differently from the time
it is first made until later perceptions in its
history. Obviously the work has not changed, but
the attitudes towards if may have. The second
idea is that in order to talk about something in a
negative way, I will in fact have to know
something about it first in a positive way.

Paint and symbols.
[ send me this paper ]
(5pp)Most indigenous peoples have a similar symbology
which gives them a framework for their own personal
movement in the Universe. Their life is related to
the seasons, their brothers - the four legged, and
the natural elements of earth, fire wind and water.
It is natural that the expression of these
constants vary since they are a reflection of the
geographic world around them. In this discussion
we will look for similarities of two geographically
diverse groups, the Mimbres and the Sioux.
