For the formal analysis of “Sailboat at Le Petit-Gennevilliers” by Claude Oscar Monet, please focus solely on the artwork itself. Avoid delving into the history of the artwork or the artist’s biography. Use the provided documents to analyze the elements used by the artist such as colors, shapes, description of the landscape, and the overall message conveyed by the artwork. While a brief mention of the artwork’s history or the artist’s bibliography is acceptable, the main emphasis should be on the artwork. Ensure thoroughness by reviewing all uploaded documents for conciseness and accuracy. Experience in this subject matter is preferred.

Use
at least three (3) academic resources sources accessed through the Fresno State School library: books and other sources. Use at least one journal
article. 

Part 1
Lecture
Outside Video
Reading – Albrecht Durer Self Portrait
Let’s start with the Merode Altarpiece. by Robert Campin (or by the Master of Flemalle, depending on which source you are using). (1) Using your notes the lecture, examine the “iconography” of this altarpiece. What symbolic representations are in the paintings (choose 2-3)? How do these small details relate to the meaning of the work as a whole? How do they relate to trends in Northern European Renaissance art?
(2) Next, view the outside video. First off, what are Butchart’s interests in the painting? How do you think they might diverge from the “traditional” history of art? What is her conclusion about the intent of the painting? What challenges do the fabricators face in recreating the gown?
(3) What insights do you believe Amber Butchart’s recreation add to our interpretation of the painting?
(4) Next turn your attention to the short article on Albrecht Durer’s Self-Portrait. According to the author, Christopher Jones, who does Durer model himself after? Why was this not considered “blasphemous” during a highly religious period? What does Jones argue is the key to understanding the meaning of the painting (hint: look for Jones’s statement that “There is perhaps one further detail in the painting that is worth examining, to gain a fuller understanding of the work”)? Summarize his argument using one DIRECT QUOTE. Part 2
Lecture
Outside reading – Michelangelo.pdf
Please read the outside reading, a primary document from Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists, which describes the creation of Michelangelo’s David. (1) How does Vasari describe the challenges Michelangelo faced in creating the David? How does he describe the finished statue itself (use a direct quote)? What do you find most striking in this account? (2) Vasari (who worked for the Medici court in the 1550s), subtly criticizes the republican councilor of Florence (Piero Soderini). What incident does he use to demonstrate Michelangelo’s superiority over Soderini? Next, turn your attention to the description of Leonardo’s work in creating the Last Supper (this is in a lecture slide). (3) How does this account differ from the accounts of Michelangelo’s working process? What was the original context for Leonardo’s Last Supper (where was it located, what other works of art is it in dialogue with)? How does this inform the way we should read the work of art? (4) What is the original context for Raphael’s School of Athens? What did this work of art say about the patron who commissioned it?

Assignment Overview
Please write about the Mosaic from San Vitale in Ravenna and use references !!!
This week we will be focusing on identifying and describing the influence of earlier Classical art from ancient Greece and Rome upon Christian and Islamic art and architecture from the early to late Medieval era, specifically by describing and analyzing the ways in which certain elements are appropriated in contexts outside of their original creation and use.The term “appropriation” refers to the intentional use of something that is not original but is rather borrowed and reused. For example, many musicians may appropriate melodies or lyrics from other artists or composers, but they reuse the original material in ways that are not strictly mirror copies. In art history, many visual artists have borrowed and repurposed stylistic, thematic, or other technical aspects from contemporaneous or earlier artforms all the time, but the difference between simply copying something and appropriating something involves using the material in a way that is different from its original appearance, use, and/or meaning.Assignment Instructions
Select one (1) artwork, structure, or monument from this week’s textbook reading assignments and/or lecture videos and describe it in detail. Help your reader imagine this work in their minds as clearly as possible.Your description should provide a visual analysis of your selected artwork or monument, including discussion of the style, design, and visual elements (colors, lines, shapes, scale, proportion, etc.), as well as the materials, techniques, and subject matter.
Make sure to include the name/title of the artwork or monument, as well as other key identifying details such as the medium (materials used), and the date/date range.
Explain how this work displays the appropriation of Greco-Roman features, styles, or techniques for a Christian or Islamic religious context. Your explanation should: Identify specific elements that appear in Greco-Roman art or architecture and also clearly appear in your selected work. These elements could include specific patterns, designs, materials, techniques, or iconographic features such as animal or human figures, etc.
Explain how the Greco-Roman aspects of this work that you identified were used and understood by a Christian or Islamic audience in as much detail as possible.
For instance, perhaps the work borrows the same kind of naturalism in style from Roman freestanding or relief sculpture, or the same kinds of techniques in fresco or mosaic, or the same kinds of design in architectural structures and public spaces, for example, but the work from Late Antiquity repurposes those traditional Roman features to be used in the worship of Christian or Islamic beliefs, or the practice of Christian or Islamic religious activities, or in the depictions of Christian or Islamic figures, etc..
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask by posting in the Question and Answer Discussion Forum or by reaching out to me directly!

This assignment is my final assignment and it’s about global food insecurity challenge. I already chose my challenge as unequal food distribution due to drought and to solve the issue my solution is genetically modified foods. The country that I’m going to focus is Africa. The challenge should be discussed only in introduction and the whole paper should focus on solution. 

In this discussion board, I’d like you to think about the topics, historical figures and events, and primary sources we covered in this class. What topic, person, primary source selection, or idea did you find most interesting, unusual, surprising, and why? This could be anything. Perhaps a particular historical or fictional person caught your interest. Maybe you found one story, artwork, or philosophical concept particularly compelling. Choose one aspect of anything you came across and expand on your thoughts about it. Your topic is completely up to you. Just keep it positive. You can objectively critique a story, or a historical figure’s actions, but this is not the place to discuss what you may have disliked.
Your essay will be graded on the following:
quality of ideas
written in grammatically correct prose
Word count: must be at least 300 words (It can be longer if you want.) Word count is not arbitrary. It is meant to help you expand on your ideas.
Your essay should focus on your own opinion regarding the question. You do not need to do any research.
Technical stuff:
Write your essay in software like Microsoft Word for PC or MAC.
Make sure your file is .doc, .docx, or .pdf.
Name your file with your last name and file type (example—Smith.doc)
Please note: if you are using Google docs or Pages, you must save your file as a PDF. You can find instructions for this in the software or by googling “convert Pages/Google docs to .pdf.”
