Florence's Cathedral -Sergio Arias-

In this work for this partial I tried to make a painting representing some great details of the Renaissance Period with a mixture of Contemporary Building Technique.

Why does it represent the history of that time?

It represents the history of that time because the dome in particular was very representative during the renaissance period. Many authors in this case, filippo Brunelleschi, as always, demonstrates his capability of making an immense dome with very few architecture techniques that haven’t been developed and he did a wonderful piece of art.

He is the author of the Cathedral of Florence and other great piece of art is the dome at St Peter’s Square that he did along with Michelangelo.

Why does it represent the culture of that time?

It represents the culture of that time because this great piece of art has a lot artistic details, which were all commissioned by the Catholic Church.

The culture that is expressed in this building is that Renaissance People were really devoted to religion and most importantly they input a lot his attention to the word of god and represent their greatness through incredible sculptures. For example David in the same time, and this temple the sculptures of the saint’s along the walls, etc.

Why and what does it represent something you really fond of that time or period.

I loved the dome of the cathedral; certainly I think that besides St. Pete’s Basilica this piece of architecture is the greatest because of the size of the dome that makes unique around other cathedrals of the world.

Why do you like that particular artist that much.

I like this artist in particular because I’m really into architecture and got astonished when I visited this great cathedral and I wonder how this awesome people like Brunelleschi did a so perfect structure with few resources.

This depicts that intelligent people were chosen to express their abilities; In that time The Catholic Church it was the most powerful authority in that time.

renacimiento en colima

Diana cazadora

Villa de alvarez, Colima



La identidad de quién posó para el artista fue un misterio, hasta que en el año de 1992 se supo que la modelo tenía entonces 16 años de edad, se llamaba Helvia Martínez Verdayes (hoy de Díaz Serrano) y trabajaba como secretaria en la empresa Pemex, en una oficina dirigida por Vicente Mendiola, amigo del escultor. Fue ahí donde éste le propuso que modelara para la escultura. Después de pensarlo unos días la joven aceptó, pero para evitar el escándalo ella misma pidió guardar en el anonimato su identidad, como declararía en entrevistas para Canal 22 y la revista Macrópolis en junio de 1992; además ella fue la modelo de la Fuente de Petróleos 10 años después, en 1952.

El nombre que se le dio al monumento fue el de la "Flechadora de la Estrella del Norte", pero popularmente se le conoce como la Diana Cazadora. Desde su inauguración fue motivo de escándalo por su desnudez, por lo cual se le llegó a cubrir con un faldón de bronce, lo que provocó su deterioro al serle retirado en el año de 1967. Por esta razón se fundió una nueva escultura, mandándose la original a Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo.

yo piens que este es un modelo renacentista de colima.

DAVID- ALBERTO OCHOA

 david of michelangelo

1501-1504

white marmol, 4.1 m height

THE ACADEMYIES GALLERIE, FLORENCIA, ITALIA



why does it represent the history of that time?



because this is the most known sculpture in the rennessaince time and his creator is considered as one of the best artists that has ever existed and much of his paintings had to do with religion but they were created in a way of perfectionism.

why does it represent the culture of that time?

Because there is no human more perfect than the sculpture of David, and the religious influence on the people. In this sculpture we can see the maximum expresión of perfectionism and this meaning being more close to the lord and the human being something close to be divine.

why and what does it represent something you really fond at that time of period?

The enligtment of the people and the human being perfect, those things I can see in this sculpture. and that after a war that killed people that were considered as vain, so this was a sculpture pos that war.

why do you like that particular artist that much?

Because he is a genius and all his works, should have no money value, there are the inspiration of many of today’s artist and those times artists, this sculpture and the XVI chapel are the most recognized piece of art he has.



Second partial project Fredele

For my project, I wasn't based in one particular piece of art, but I based on the whole concept of renaissance. What I did, was a series of writtings, two are cites of Shakespeare and one of my own.

The characteristics from the renaissance used are shown in the capital letters, the curves, the colors and the details that I used.

This pieces represent, for me, the whole concept of the movement, because in it, we can see the ideas they had (Shakespeare was a great example of a renaissance artist). We can also see the artistic characteristics, as I mentioned before.

I love the way Shakespeare writes, I like the metaphores he used, the way he said things and even his insults. This is why I citated him and decided to write something simmilar to what he wrote.

PS: the citations are in each piece. (:

second partial project

Why does it represent the history of that time?

I think it represents history because of the extraordinary architecture and dynamic shape, if you focus on the top of the church you can see the religious symbols over main entrance and the cross symbol on top of the church.

Why does it represent the culture of that time?

I think it represents culture because it’s showing what the renaissance is about extravagant new architecture and that’s what I think about the culture this church is representing .

Why and what does it represent something you really fond of that time or period.

What I really like about this period is that they try to make new innovations , that they are trying to express something new that we had never seen before create a new culture bases obviously on the past cultures.

Why do you like that particular artist that much?

I really liked this church mostly because of its architecture and dynamic design I think it’s a breathtaking site.
