Answer:
Ancient Egyptians studied the life cycle of the scarab and believed that the scarab experienced rebirth through its stages of metamorphoses. It is believed that the mummy's linen shroud is an imitation of the scarab's pupa and is meant to protect the body until it is reborn.
Answer: Gormley is so focussed on the human form and his own body in particular because he wants to know what is the nature of the space a human being inhabits.
Explanation: Over the years Gormley has expanded into casting other people and large community projects. He has been recognised with the 1994 Turner Prize and an OBE and works such as Field, with its thousands of tiny clay figures staring so affectingly at the viewer, and his monumental Angel of the North have become some of the best-known contemporary art of the last few decades. Gormley's latest work to be shown in the UK, Another Place, again draws on his own body for the 100 cast-iron figures, made from 17 slightly different moulds, that will face the open sea for 3km either side of the tideline on Crosby Beach on Merseyside. The work deals with the theme of migration as the figures look out at a new horizon, but the complex administrative arrangements in staging it - he has had to come to an accommodation with a "horrendous variety of authorities", including the coastguards, the RSPB and various local government agencies - has also raised interesting questions.
Objects that are far away appear smaller than they really are.
Answer:
This photograph uses line through the lighter textures on the road that lead to the viewer and create perspective in the image. Value is seen through the stark variation from dark, to midtones, to lighter tones.
Explanation:
Value is the range of a color (or lack of color;like black) from dark to light or light to dark. Line in art can be anything from a literal line in a drawing to how a set of stones or street lights are lined up in an image to create the appearance of a line of subjects/objects. Both are great art tools and I encourage looking into them more if you are interested!
