                                       Why Ancient Art Now

          Even though Egyptian ancient art in engineering construction is still standing after all does years, is still really a mystery to us on how to use the same materials and build the same way they did back then, during the old century.

          One of the reasons why engineers of today’s date, research Egyptian art is because, is amazingly strong material in other words because, of the Papyrus.  Egyptian rough material helped them through time, example the Egyptians pyramid were so well constructed materially as from inside to outside, that even if a flood happen which in the ends of time it did. We can see that even a big flood as from back then couldn’t take does pyramids down; we can see that the way they constructed does pyramid were in a firm way, that even still research today does not know the exact way in which they constructed in such a perfect angle. We sure due study them is to one copy some of the work that they did and make it our own way also, so that the engineering construction can be more strong and for it to last not years not days but centuries, like the Egyptians one.  Sure they do have a lot of theory’s and laws also, known as Canon’s, but not even one is showed to be the perfect one.

         We still do not know what were the ways that they draw in their paper the way  to construct a building, not even in today’s date there is not a paper that it is still alive that show us the way they plan step for step their construction themes, not even a portrait. Even dough is none left some of the study process of this amazing construction have been useful not only for engineers  to have  it to study the research materials but, for artist as well, to use it also to get  inspired. Most artist that view this beautiful research work, have been inspired to paint buildings in their own ways; because of that most artist have become famous and known for their work; because they have painted structures that are still have an important significant, through centuries.

                                                                “ Seeing Out Loud ”

               In life many people grow old and that’s when some just don’t know what to do and go into a world of loving art so much, that they start criticizing it. One of the character that passes throw this same point is Jerry Saltz, he had no degree, he was an artist who stop painting, who then became a driver truck and then when he was forty years old came back to the art world, in a much different way, instead of coming back painting, he came back by criticizing art.

            I must say that I may not be an expert on paintings but, the way that he criticizes art is a way in which he said that “Being critical of art is a way of showing it respect. Being subjective is being human”. I must agree with him. I think that being part of art you should criticize the painting in a respectful ways, but also not in a fake way if you are human you tell the painters the truth of his art work, not something fake.

        In his saying “The best critics look for the same things in contemporary criticism that they look for in contemporary art”. I also agree with him, if you going to criticize the art work, do it with new comments; don’t look back at the old century criticism, I would say make up your own words because, “Art is a way of thinking, a way of knowing yourself”.  With this statement I also agree art is about finding yourself and knowing how to criticize good enough, in a way you did not know that you were capable of. You will only know this if you use your own words and not copy the criticism of the old century.

        As I say I do agree with Jerry Saltz, his ways of critics are good. There is a painting of Charles Burchfield from eighteen ninety-three. In this painting the painter was trying to create a landscape with highly expressionistic light; but instead Jerry Salts says that it looks like a “haunted houses emanating ectoplasmic auras”. With that critic I do agree the house does look like a haunted house, he didn’t portrait exactly right what he wanted the audience to see.

by Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) . Born in 1893 in Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio.   (21 years old when he, painted this).
