Michaelangelo's David
Sculpting is considered the finest are form because it mimics Divine Creation.
First to ignite was the 3 years it took to create and finish the sculpture. Critics doubted the success of the sculpture. At the unveiling people were shocked over the bold, large sculpture of a naked man. A writer early on recording measurements of David recorded his height incorrectly. Davis was a symbol and stood for Courage. Protector and guardian of the city of Florence. So life life the marvel statue stood baring the gentiles and pubic hair area. Some critics over the years have tried to appropriately change the sculpture by placing a fig leaf over the bare area. They were eventually told to dis-guard the leaf as originated. Many reproductions of David stand at various locations around the world. Some where in between David went from contravercy to classic. You can now find a reproduction of the image censored or uncensored, , or on t-shirts, or in advertising.
So
at this point I stopped and put myself in that time in history. I thought about the town size, and the
clothes they wore. I can imagine
everybody knew everybody for miles around.
It was common in the 1940’s for Doctors to make home visits if someone
was ill. So I can only imagine the crowd
of critics that surrounded the art expressed in any form. Religious organizations and citizen groups
tried demanding a stop to Violence. They
were all for the halting of all comic books.
The critics have referred to the comic story line as cruel. In 1954 a
U.S Senate Subcommittee with Juvenile Delinquency held a hearing which demanded
certain Authorities to limit the violent theme in any art form. Also that year
what is now referred to ass The Code was emplaced and is strictly enforced? The Code is a list of shall and Shall Not
Do’s in the art society.
Every
day for years there has been controversy in the world over a number of things. Controversy is ignited over a countless
number of things. Media is a source of
controversy. Media is the closest resource
we have to the “Upper Class”. Americans throughout
time have relied on media to be the truth. We stood by patiently waiting for a
command.
Finally, Can violent works of art in any form cause someone to act in a violent way?
I
am running out of steam so I asked my 21 year old son Mark Nakamura. He brought up his little brother. In a previous example I also used him as an
example. Anyway he answered the question
with his little brother in mind. Mark
said, “Yes. I saw the different it made
in my little brother. I noticed his
behavior become more violent. His
imagination was vivid and of death and dying.
He was interested in Death and how it happened. My little brother was far too young to be
knowledge in gun’s and shootings. He
should not be hip to the language they use in Prison.”
Over
the last few weeks my teacher has inspired me.
It is not her teaching, exactly, it is the work she puts into teaching
and learning for herself and shares with her class. I appreciate her for her
outlined work schedule and accept the challenge to see it through. I may not be good enough. Just know I tried. here it is
my blog my extra credit it is my
10 points response and my other miss un counted 25 points for responding to
other classmates blog. Yes mam I did do
it. Please add up my points. This repusents my hard work and research
inspired by my English 100 Professor
