Q1. Who was a better and what makes a painter Zeuxis Or Parrhasius?
Justify your answer. (10 points)

I am not an artist or anything near to it, but I've always appreciated the
realistic depictions that the best artists could achieve. It always astounds me
when I see an artwork that closely matches a genuine scene: it reveals the
skillful hand refined over many years of experience. That's why I believed Zeuxis
was the finer painter at first: after all, he could persuade birds to come nibble at
his picture, mistaking it for a genuine bowl of fruit. I believe that this opinion is
subjective in a sense where I myself could not achieve a quarter of such finery.
Initially I really find Zeuxis’ master piece amazing, however, it was
eventually discovered that Parrhasius had painted a simple yet effective curtain
illusion. This, I feel and genuinly believe, is what makes Parrhasius a superior
painter: he didn't need to draw attention to his work; it was all right in front of
their eyes the whole time, and they had no idea the curtain was anything other.
Furthermore, he had successfully misled not only animals but also humans,
particularly artists. Only someone with this level of talent can expect to deceive
the critical eye or another artist. Truly, I believe that this piece of work
exemplifies a great work.
Both Zeuxi’s and Parrhasius are great painters. Their works show their best
forte. That, in my opinion, is what distinguishes a competent painter. Their work
is undeniably inconspicuous, unglamorous, and as basic as drapings on the wall.
However, it will be so lifelike that only a careful hand, an exact arm, and a keen
eye will be able to tell that it was created by a careful hand, a precise arm, and a
keen eye. I believe that then and only then can a painter be considered
genuinely great.

Q4. What is(are) the difference between art illusion and artist hallucination? Discuss
your answer. (5points)

The word "hallucination" comes from the Latin word "hallucinat," which
meaning "thinking gone astray." A hallucination is a mistaken impression because
the relevant external cues are missing. Because the alleged stimulus is only present
internally, a person going through it sees or hears something that no one else can
see or hear. As a result, the perceived experience does not correspond to reality.
This is why persistent hallucinations are connected to mental disorders like
schizophrenia.
On the other hand, the term "illusion" is derived from the Latin word "illusio,"
which meaning "to mock." It happens when something appears to be something
other than what it is. People undergo "misperception" when the stimuli is changed.
When the brain tries to fill in gaps in the ordered sensory information, this happens.
Illusions and hallucinations are common words used to describe the notion of
perception. The main distinction is the presence of a stimulus, which is present exclusively
in the later. A hallucination is a perceptual mistake, which is why it's typically linked to
mental health concerns, but an illusion is simply a misunderstanding that's frequently
utilized in magic tricks.
This is the realm in which hallucinations and illusions seek to operate. They
influence the viewer's perception of reality. However, there is a significant distinction
between the two words that must be explained. To begin, illusions are characterized as
misinterpretations of real-world inputs. The spectator is provided with a genuine object,
but he perceives it differently. For example, he could mistake the sound of the wind
blowing for a kid weeping or a bird singing. In the meanwhile, hallucinations are the
mind's imagined experiences in the absence of genuine external stimuli. They are a type of
perception that is not dependent on sensory input and can be caused by medicine, drugs,
or psychological problems. For example, the hallucinating individual could hear the wind
blowing when there isn't any.
This may be utilized to art in the same manner that painters create illusions using
sophisticated light techniques. Artist hallucination is more difficult to explain, although it
might be linked to the creative process, which pushes them to create fictitious characters
to aid in the creation of artwork.

Q6. Discuss the reasons why we need to preserve the work of art? Name some
processes involve in art curation. Describe the role/career of a museum curator. (15
points)

It is critical to preserve our cultural history in order to maintain our identity

as a people. The value of intangible cultural legacy is not in the cultural expression
itself, but in the wealth of information and skills passed down from generation to
generation. Certain aspects of intangible cultural heritage are at risk of extinction if
they are not protected, but how can we protect and manage a legacy that is
continuously evolving and part of a "living culture" without freezing or trivializing it?
Transferring information, skills, and meaning is vital to their protection. To put it
another way, safeguarding focuses on the processes involved in passing or
disseminating intangible cultural property from generation to generation, rather than
the production of its physical manifestations, such as a dance performance, a song,
a musical instrument, or a skill.
Works of art are a record of a past era's culture. They are evidence of a
bygone era's heritage and legacy. As a result, we must do our part to help our
 3
forefathers preserve the history of their era. This is done out of respect for them, as
well as to preserve their culture for future generations to enjoy. Art, after all, is one-
of-a-kind and irreplaceable. As a result, we have the curation process to assist us
identify and catalog the numerous artifacts left behind by the past. Selecting artists
whose works correspond to the topic that the curator want to highlight is the first
step in art curation. After that, they get down to business by designing the
exhibition, evaluating the target demographic, and reserving the location and date.
They proceed to seek funds and assign a budget, which includes artists' fees, project
costs, overhead, advertising, printing catalogs and invites, shipping and handling,
customs duty, frames, installing lighting, and opening expenditures, once all the
legal aspects have been sorted out. Once things have been completed and the
pieces have been put onsite, they must publicize the show by writing articles,
producing catalogs, distributing invites, and conducting press conferences, all in
order to ensure that people will come. Finally, during the big opening, the curator
must ensure that the show runs well and that everyone enjoys a joyful learning
experience alongside the artists and their artwork.
Curators play such an important role. They make certain that each stage of
the art curation process (definition/identification, preservation, exhibition, and
restoration) is carried out meticulously. Apart from collecting, storing, and displaying
collections, they are also responsible for selecting exhibit topics and designs, as well
as creating, arranging, and conducting tours and seminars; cleaning historical items,
leading and overseeing curatorial, technical, and student personnel, and organizing
and executing unique research programs are all things that museum directors do to
promote their institutions. As a result, they play an important role in the preservation
of art.
I believe that curator and art are a working team in the preservation of all art lives.
This duo should be tied together as it is essential to the legacy of minds and hearts that
were put into a masterpiece.
