I used to have an inherent passion for painting before to this training. This course
has taught me how to recognize works of art that I was previously unaware of.
Contemporary art provides fresh insights further into beginnings of different
civilizations, and also new knowledge and understanding of cross-cultural issues.
Humans, organizations, and countries' traditions, political beliefs, accomplishments,
and problems. I also discovered the connection between recorded art, literature,
and photography.
I've learnt about a variety of art eras and the civilizations they represented during
this course. Even during Renaissance, artists concentrated on science and culture
and were based in Europe. In truth, much of the art was created in Europe and later
spread to the United States. Sculptures ranging from self-portraits to deities and
statesmen portrayed African, Roman, and Greek culture.
My viewpoint upon that Catholic Church was changed, and I learned a lot about the
society of the time. I was aware of the Church's connection to art, and not its
background, culture, or interrelationships, despite the fact that it was the principal
sponsor of art during the Middle Ages.
Prior to the Renaissance, I discovered that a painting was supposed to depict a
social tie and patronage. I learnt about the three people engaged in an art
commission: the commissioning agent or patron (broker), the commissioner, and
the artist. As a result of this commissioning, a culture of extravagant display of
wealth emerged among some of the families who demanded art on behalf of the
churches.
Families offered religious object loans to churches, and monuments were built to
gain authority of the church and promote their doctrine or culture. There had been a
rise in the culture of wealth, personal notoriety, and social standing. Art affects
society by changing people's minds, instilling values, and conveying experiences
across space and time. Art affects one's inner sense of identity, and other kinds of
art were often seen as the storehouse of a society's collective memory. Whatever
fact-based historical records can't capture that's how it feels to have been in a
particular location at a particular time. Art, in this sense, is communication; it allows
people from different cultures and eras to communicate via images, sounds, and
stories. It has the ability to provide individuals who are politically or socially
marginalized a voice.
Benin Art is a good example. Since I realized the connection between culture and art,
my vision of Benin art has shifted. Benin is home to some of Africa's most well-
known works of art. 300 bronze heads, 130 elephant tusks, and 850 relief plaques
have been recognized among the 2,400 to 4,000 artifacts discovered. The Kingdom
of Benin's art, which is not to be confused with the Republic of Benin's art, is most
renowned for its bronze plaques. The Benin Kingdom dates back to circa 900 A.D.
and is located in south-central Nigeria. The first dynasty, known as the Ogiso,
reigned until 1170, when Ife fell under Yoruba hegemony. Ife's Oni (king)
transported his son Oranmiyan to Benin City, where he married a Benin woman.
