Download or read book Art Design Communication and Fashion An Interdisciplinary Approach written by Prof. Dr. Anna MELNIKOVA and published by GLOBAL ACADEMY YAYINCILIK VE DANIŞMANLIK HİZMETLERİ SANAYİ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface Art, Design, Communication and Fashion: An Interdisciplinary Approach; is a thought-provoking book for academics, researchers, doctoral students and policymakers interested in fine arts, design, fashion and the field, providing valuable information on contemporary issues in art, design, fashion. In this book; the first chapter aims to prepare pre-service teachers while serving the community by addressing the previously identified needs with an emphasis on the pedagogical methodology of service learning (S-L). S-L is different from volunteering and internships. In this context, the process of implementing S-L at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Granada is described. Popular culture is defined as a way of life that the majority of people in society live or will live. In the second chapter, visual art teachers' views on popular culture and approaches in classrooms are investigated. The third chapter highlights the potential for strategically designed systems, known as circadian lighting, to have a beneficial impact on people's health, alertness, productivity, and more. Since the fourth chapter is about holistic knowledge of the design process in fashion design, which is one of the fundamental skills for any graduate in the field, it is aimed to diagnose the curricular knowledge of the graduates of fashion design at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) - Caicó campus in the context of the idea that the student of Fashion Design should have a theoretical and practical mastery of the contents. Also this chapter aims to diagnose the level of mastery of curricular content by undergraduates in Fashion Design at IFRN – Caicó. The fifth chapter explains whether the materials of cardboard boxes and umbrellas can be recycled in fashion, as well as whether a garment can be created from the materials, in the context of economic, environmental and social sustainability concepts. The sixth chapter provides examples of how the artist uses symbols to convey a message of protection and attract attention. In general, considerations in the context of mythology studies include a close analysis of works of art that use mythological themes and symbols to represent ecosystems, and an assessment of the cultural and historical contexts in which these works of art were created. It is thought that this chapter will contribute to the ongoing study of how art fits into a broader tradition of mythical representations of natural environments and environmentalism in art. The seventh chapter discusses some sustainable design products, taking into account the importance given to the product life cycle in Portugal in the context of developing products with national and environmentally friendly materials that have the agreed-upon value for material culture. The authors of this book present a wealth of literature and research that will contribute to an understanding of the role of decision-makers and international organizations in the field of fine art in promoting growth and development. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about the most recent trends and emerging issues in the fine art field.

Download or read book The Late Byzantine Army written by Mark C. Bartusis and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Byzantine period was a time characterized by both civil strife and foreign invasion, framed by two cataclysmic events: the fall of Constantinople to the western Europeans in 1204 and again to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Mark C. Bartusis here opens an extraordinary window on the Byzantine Empire during its last centuries by providing the first comprehensive treatment of the dying empire's military. Although the Byzantine army was highly visible, it was increasingly ineffective in preventing the incursion of western European crusaders into the Aegean, the advance of the Ottoman Turks into Europe, and the slow decline and eventual fall of the thousand-year Byzantine Empire. Using all the available Greek, western European, Slavic, and Turkish sources, Bartusis describes the evolution of the army both as an institution and as an instrument of imperial policy. He considers the army's size, organization, administration, and the varieties of soldiers, and he examines Byzantine feudalism and the army's impact on society and the economy. In its extensive use of soldier companies composed of foreign mercenaries, the Byzantine army had many parallels with those of western Europe; in the final analysis, Bartusis contends, the death of Byzantium was attributable more to a shrinking fiscal base than to any lack of creative military thinking on the part of its leaders.
Download or read book Testing the Canon of Ancient Near Eastern Art and Archaeology written by Amy Gansell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Testing the Canon of Ancient Near Eastern Art and Archaeology invites readers to reconsider the contents and agendas of the art historical and world-culture canons by looking at one of their most historically enduring components: the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East. Ann Shafer, Amy Rebecca Gansell, and other top researchers in the field examine and critique the formation and historical transformation of the ancient Near Eastern canon of art, architecture, and material culture. Contributors flesh out the current boundaries of regional and typological sub-canons, analyze the technologies of canon production (such as museum practices and classroom pedagogies), and voice first-hand heritage perspectives. Each chapter, thereby, critically engages with the historiography behind our approach to the Near East and proposes alternative constructs. Collectively, the essays confront and critique the ancient Near Eastern canon's present configuration and re-imagine its future role in the canon of world art as a whole. This expansive collection of essays covers the Near East's many regions, eras, and types of visual and archaeological materials, offering specific and actionable proposals for its study. Testing the Canon of Ancient Near Eastern Art and Archaeology stands as a vital benchmark and offers a collective path forward for the study and appreciation of Near Eastern cultural heritage. This book acts as a model for similar inquiries across global art historical and archaeological fields and disciplines.

Download or read book Picturing History at the Ottoman Court written by Emine Fetvaci and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A comprehensive study of Ottoman illuminated histories and their readers, makers, intended meanings and political uses.” —Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies The Ottoman court of the late sixteenth century produced an unprecedented number of sumptuously illustrated chronicles. While usually dismissed as imperial eulogies, Emine Fetvaci demonstrates that these books commented on contemporary events, promoted the political agendas of courtiers as well as the sultan, and presented their patrons and creators in ways that helped shape the perspectives of their elite audience. Picturing History at the Ottoman Court traces the simultaneous crafting of political power, the codification of a historical record, and the unfolding of cultural change. “An absolutely original work, full of good ideas and important points. Fascinating.” —Pamela Brummett, University of Tennessee “One of the most profound examples of new directions in scholarship dealing with “the book” and “the text” of the past few decades. It shows an exceptional breadth of vision.” —Walter G. Andrews, University of Washington “[Fetvaci’s] book, an exhaustive and richly illustrated study based on secondary literature and primary sources, among them some documents in the Topkapi Palace archive, will no doubt remain the standard study on the topic for many years to come.” —Bibliotheca Orientalis “A welcome addition to the work of scholars who are studying these manuscripts in relation to the context of their production. This is a handsome book.” —International Journal of Islamic Architecture “This is a book for the specialist as well as the intelligent undergraduate, as its exceptional clarity of organization and exposition makes complex and overlapping dynamics readily meaningful. The lavish illustration (102 colour plates) and the author’s interest in comparative imperial practices add to its depth.” —*Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
Download or read book African Luxury Branding written by Mehita Iqani and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together critical race, queer and decolonial analytical approaches, visual analysis, and multimodal discourse analysis, this book explores the discursive strategies deployed by African luxury brands in an age of cross-platform, intertextual branding. Building on literature examining the aesthetics and politics of African luxury, this book demonstrates how leading African luxury brands create visual material speaking to complex sensibilities of culture, nature, and future. Iqani shows how powerful brand narratives and strategies reveal ethical and ideological messages that function to re-position Africa in an increasingly congested global marketplace of ideas. In acknowledging that there is a strong political validity to recognizing the importance of African brands staking their claim in luxury, this book also problematizes the role these brands play in the promotion of luxury discourses, advancing the project of capitalism and their contribution to broader patterns of inequality. Shedding new light not only on luxury branding strategies but also on the idea of a luxurious global “Africanicity” and on the complex cultural politics of South Africa, African Luxury Branding will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in disciplines, including Critical Advertising Studies, African Studies, Media and Communications.
