The Three-Eyed King 2020, Japan Hirokazu Yokohara The Three-Eyed King is a piece of 3d modeling in blender designed to look like a 2d picture. A cyborg human linked up and breathing. The heavy use of shadows to give the cyborg shape and depth and to contrast the white color of the metal, flesh, and the yellow of the eyes. The crown just gently floating above the Three-Eyed King. I don’t know how to describe the feeling it gives besides mystery, intrigue, and morbid curiosity. Upside Down World 2014, Japan GorosArt Upside Down World is a piece made digitally by GorosArt in Japan in 2014. Most of the background is blurry but just in focus enough to show us what we are looking at and the foreground shows us a single blade of grass with three drops of water and in the third and largest drop of water shows a reflection of the background but in focus creating such a surreal and captivating piece. The background is a young boy inquisitively looking at the drop of water with his reflection in

  I have chosen the topic of Morality and the Art of the Classical Era. One of the major differences between the Rococo style and the Neoclassical style of painting is the display of morality as the main focus as the shift in style began. I selected it because I was interested in the way art was used as a medium to show morality in a positive or negative way or even the grey areas of life and how it was deemed to be in the time the art was created.  Narcissus by Caravaggio The dark and sad tale of a young man staring into a reflection in the water. The reflection and the boy take up half of the canvas with dirt being the divide. Showing us vanity as well as the morals relating to being to self-absorbed by it. Using the light to show a real boy and the darker mirrored version below as a symbol of the vain and obsessive behaviors associated with Narcissus the character. An article written on Caravaggio.org ( https://www.caravaggio.org/narcissus.jsp ) further develops the ideas of Narciss

  Medusa was created in Milan, Italy, by  Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, in 1596 showing the moment she was executed by Perseus. I really like the heavy darker colors of the Medusa on the shield. I also like the depth and short amount of space between the head of the Medusa and the wall. The artistic use of the shadow and the source of light impressed me.       by putting the shine in Medusas eyes at an upper angle and the shadow at a lower angle from the top of the head to not only show depth with proximity to the wall but also to give the viewer a sense there is a source of light in front of and above Medusa. Going even further, the contrast between the lighter skin on Medusa's left side of her face vs the right side of her face showing once again the direction of the light by making one side lighter with no shadows and the other side with shadows in the areas that have curves to not only show depth but the source of light. The shadows contrast heavily against the lit parts o

  The Statue of David Humanism is an emotional and personal philosophy focused on morality. Combining the scientific knowledge of mathematical study with the principles of the ideal human proportions and beauty. Humanism was an influence through the renaissance as an appreciation of the classics and curiosity. The thought of how art can reflect the reality of a human experience and often times in the most beautiful form.      One of the best-known works of Humanism art was first commissioned at the start of the 16th century by the Opera Del Duomo, the statue of David. Michelangelo was commissioned to complete the work on a slab of marble that was already slightly worked on but quit in the starting process. The statue of David was made from the same slab a true work of art in the process of salvaging the marble and creating new work, described by the writer Giorgio Vasari as “the bringing back to life of one who was dead”. The statue of David was completed in 1504.      We can see the
