Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

The history of Botticelli´s The Birth of Venus painting is between fact and fable. It is said that Italian artist Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was solicited by Lorenzo de' Medici´s younger brother in 1483 in Florence.  Botticelli painted this Italian Renaissance masterpiece between 1484-85 but did not use classical models as inspiration for the figures in it, it was one of the most beautiful ladies in Florence called Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci who modeled to represent Venus.

The piece´s background is mythological from the ancient Greece, fulfilled with meaning through allegorical quotes to antiquity and it is inspired on the remarkable Latin Literature piece the Ovid's Metamorphoses. In the island of Cyprus, the goddess of passion and beauty is shown coming to life blown from the sea foam and standing on a giant scallop shell and helped by the god Zephyrus of the wind, and the breeze goddess Aura, compared her marbeled skin in pureness and perfection to a pearl.

His paintings gain momentum from Medicis' Florence family cultural boost on arts, philosophy and literature driving society to prosperity.

Why do you think the Egyptian used the pyramid shape? Explain your answer.
Brilliant_brown [7]
The reason that they have done this (this is a theory created by Egyptologists) is so the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb the sides of the pyramid, make his way to the sky, and live forever. The pyramid also represented the rays of the sun.

What was the purpose of the Dada movement? Do you think that the principles of Dada are applicable in today's society?
rosijanka [135]

Dada was an avant-grande where the art is radical and unorthodox. The movement's intent was to mock materialistic and nationalistic attitudes. It aimed to overturn bourgeois sensibilities. its purpose was to intrigue the role of artist and the purpose of the art-- asserting "Dada is anti-Dada".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dada's principles can and is needed to be applied in the modern world. In today's society where issues are becoming more complex, it is always good to think, evaluate concepts, challenge norms and express to inspire. Opposing can be beneficial as it can counterbalance powers in the society. The checks and balances will mold the people, the society and the quality of life of humanity.
