First, define what you think the function of writing is. Then choose an object with images from this unit and discuss how it fulfills that function. Then choose an example of writing (e.g. calligraphy) or something writing-like (e.g. the khipu) from this unit and discuss how it serves functions normally associated with visual art. Response 100 words. Mariah-How does art preserve the memory of someone or something, and what is lost? Answer with reference to two examples from this unit. Art preserves the memory of people, things, or situations usually by depicting some sort of characteristic or imagery referencing it. Artworks like portraits can capture the memory of how someone looked while things like engravings in a vase may tell a story about something that happened in the past. But, not everything can be transcribed through art, and usually a lot of details can either be forgotten or simply not included. Certain meanings or intentions can also be lost, as that is something that usually only the artist themselves will truly know and understand. An example of memory being lost through art can be found in the Portrait (ChinsŌ) of Mugai Nyodai sculpture. The sculpture is made to depict the first female Zen master, with a ‘quietly alert’ expression and a making that has an almost lifelike quality to it. Although, no matter how similar physical appearances may be through the sculpture, the memory of how the Zen master was during life is not also transcribed. The memory of how the person felt or how they were perceived during life can never be told. Another example of memory lost through art is in the Night Attack on the SanjŌ Palace. The artwork depicts a vivid scene of a conflict between two clans, complete with detailed portrayals of destructive actions and a burning palace. However detailed the artwork of the scene that unfolded may be, though, the actual memory of the experience itself is still lost. Things like experiences, thoughts, and feelings cannot be directly portrayed through the artwork, although the vivid imagery does help viewers try to understand. Ancient Medieval Art Discussion
