Analyze and relate the study of art to the following works/theories.

A. Imitationism Polycritus, Doryphoros (Spear Bearer) 450BC

 The artwork looks real. The image that makes up the artwork looks realistic. The colors,
proportions, textures, shapes, and other elements seem natural and life-like. The work
is planned around patterns, rhythm, and forms you see in nature or the human-made
environment. The images are based on objects you might actually see in the world. The
work is not from a dream or fantasy. Art imitates life.

B. Representationism
 In this image it represents something that already exists, should exist in a more perfect
form, or is imagined to exist. The particularity of individual objects, scenes, or persons
may be emphasized, or the generic, the common, or the essential. The artist opens our
eyes to the world’s perceptual qualities and configurations, to its beauties, ugliness, and
horrors. Artworks, however, call attention to their own unique forms, lines, colors,
images, meanings, and patterns of sound. What we encounter in them we have not
encountered and cannot encounter elsewhere in the world. It happens to be more
realistic.
