DOGS IN ART
When first glancing at this project and viewing the student samples, my first thought was that I would love to create a slideshow about one of my favorite things in life: dogs. Dogs have brought so much joy into my life, ranging from my own dogs or just walking by them on the street. I knew dogs would be common in art since they are common pets and have been for centuries. Dogs have served many purposes throughout time ranging from hunting to bringing love to families.
I truly learned a lot from this project. A common artist, Edwin Henry Landseer, had plenty of different artworks containing dogs and other animals. His dog of choice was the Newfoundland. I included many paintings from him to bring different emotions to my theme.
It was a bit difficult to find different artworks containing dogs to represent different emotions. I visited many websites, some were very helpful and I was able to get a lot of information. In the end, I believe I chose the best paintings to fit my theme. The paintings I chose had their own individual stories and represented meaning. All of the paintings I chose came together and represented the importance of dogs through history.
I used my knowledge of art criticism to my best ability and I hope it pays off in the end. This project took me about 4 hours total. Picking an artwork and learning about the background was a key part to my selections. I wanted to make sure that I chose the best paintings to represent my theme.
In conclusion, I had lots of fun creating this power point. I loved researching dogs and seeing them represented in art.
