Illuminating the Past
One of the events that I attended was Illuminating the Past. The event exhibited utilitarian ceramics of the ancient world. It was conducted at the Miami University Art Museum there on 14th November. According to the report from the Miami University Art Museum, the presentation will last from 27th August to 14th December. There are a few artists that will be available during the exhibit, but Juliet Graver will be the one to make it a reality.
In 2013, Harvey and Deborah Breverman of buffalo donated ancient ceramics to Miami University of Art Museum. The donations comprised of approximately one hundred and thirty-one ancient ceramics and bronze pieces. Most of the arts that were donated to the university were produced at around 1800BCE-1500CE. The exhibits generally comprised of seventy-eight oil lambs, figural pieces, numerous bronze metals and utilitarian vessels. The items originated from different parts of the world like Israel, Egypt, Greece, east Mediterranean, Cyprus, and Italy. The event took place in one of the rooms in the Museums it had many ceramic objects all around. For instance, relief decorations are developed after transferring an image from raised sections of hard surface to another surface. The use of ceramic objects in the world is said to have started at around 1800 years ago. The art then thrived between the 18th and 19th century. It also became one of the commonly used and notable art due to its productive ability to be used for colouration. John Wegner invented oil lamp. The invention has since then helped the artist to achieve more considerable experience and detail in their daily artwork.
I believe the exhibit illuminating the past is aiming at making exploration of production and use. The event has helped many artists and the young generation to understand classical topology. Additionally, the art will help people to know and learn the origin of some of the ceramics that are used for decoration in the current world. Therefore, the technique can also be used as a cultural reference in the modern world. The current generation will have a chance to learn the kind of art that was used in various countries in the 18th century. The contemporary ceramics are different from the one that was made 4000 years ago. The event serves as a prominent place where people can learn about the evolution of ceramics. Throughout the ancient Mediterranean, oil lamps have been ubiquitous. Humanity scholars have been studying them over the past century. The art event is trying to make sure that oil lamps are more recognized in public museums. The presentation of items provides an extraordinary chance to view the overlooked segment of ancient pottery that is in use in daily lives. The event will help people to understand and know the origin of items they are currently using.
I enjoyed that exhibit because it comprised several forms of art. I think I had a subjective reaction towards the presentation because I have much-appreciated skill. The event was able to cover different art from different part of the world, making it realistic like oil lamps. The illustrations are universal, and I believe that people will develop diverse thought depending on their perspective. I can proudly recommend art work, people, because it is a new form of art. The exhibit made a positive impact on my expectations.
