KINDS OF SUBJECTS

1.History The discipline, while it is richly involved in the study of arts also incorporates fields
of social history like aesthetics, economics, politics, and anthropology. It is important because
it gives you exposure to other humanities subjects, relating them to draw conclusions and
critical evaluation of different artworks.

space and time. Research has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self. .

2.Still Life is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace
objects which are either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-
made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewellery, coins, pipes, etc.)

What is still life used for?

The still life is a popular genre because the artist has total control over the subject of the
painting, the lighting, and the context. The artist can use the still life symbolically or
allegorically to express an idea, or formally to study composition and the elements and
principles of art.

When was still life become popular?

de'Barbari painted 1504. The “golden age” of still-life painting occurred in the Lowlands during
the 17th century.
