1650 BCE
Enlightenment worldview
This worldview was dated in 1650-1800. This piece of art best represents this worldview because it emphasized the power of human reason to understand the world and improve society. Wright's painting shows the scientific method and the way of knowledge meaning progress. The use of light in the painting is not just a technical skill, but a symbolic representation of the Enlightenment's focus on revealing truth and dispelling ignorance. The orrery shines with light and illuminates the audience. -
500 BCE
Classical worldview
The classical worldview was dated in 500 BC - 500 AD and this symbol best represents the classical worldview because The star and crescent were on coins, flags, and other artifacts in places like Byzantium, Macedon, and the Roman Empire.
The symbol is linked to multiple cultural and religious traditions like the ancient Near East and the Greek world. The star and crescent can represent various concepts depending on the specific context, but it has themes of celestial bodies and divine power. -
500
Medieval worldview
The Medieval worldview was dated in 500-1500. The reason I think the Christian cross best represents the Medieval worldview is because it symbolizes the essentiality of faith, the suffering of Christ, and the constant reminder of God's presence. During the Medieval period Christianity really influenced every aspect of life like art and daily routines. The Christian cross is a powerful symbol of this era because everywhere you looked you saw crosses in churches and on buildings and people's home. -
1300
Renaissance worldview
This worldview was dated in 1300-1700. I think that Michealangolo's David best represents the Renaissance because it was all about rediscovering ancient Greek and Roman art, which focused on the human body. David's incredibly detailed muscles and perfect proportions show this love of the human form. David isn't just a pretty piece of art but he's ready for battle, representing the Renaissance belief that humans are capable of great things both physically and mentally and this art shows strength. -
Romantic Worldview
This worldview was dated in 1780-1850. The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog represents this worldview through the emphasis on nature and the emotional experience. The figure gazing out at the vast, misty landscape shows a sense of awe shows the romantic era and the fascinating part of it with the power and mystery of the natural world. The image captures the Romantic ideal of spiritual and emotional through a connection with nature. The fog represents the unknown and the limitations of humans. -
Victorian Worldview
This worldview was dated in 1830-1900. This piece of art represents this worldview the best because Victorian art was heavily symbolic and Hope uses symbolic imagery to show its message. The figure of Hope that's shown with a cloth binding her, is a powerful representation of hope's ability to endure and be present even in difficult times. Victorian art often explored moral and ethical issues, and Hope touches on the concept of perseverance and facing adversity with grace. -
Modern worldview
This worldview was dated in 1900-1970 and from that time the world was changing super fast. We got better at science and technology and people started traveling and communicating more than ever before. Suddenly the whole world felt smaller and more connected. A globe symbol shows this because it's a really accurate, scientific picture of our planet unlike older maps that were sometimes wrong or incomplete. Seeing the whole Earth at once helps us understand that we're all part of one big system. -
Post modern worldview
This worldview was dated in 1960-2000. This piece uses pop culture imagery which is Marilyn Monroe and blurs the lines between high art and popular culture, a hallmark of postmodern art. It also demonstrates the postmodern interest in mass media and celebrity culture. Andy Warhol embodies this piece of art by using a mass produced image of a celebrity. The shame of the image can be seen as a commentary on the nature of fame and the manipulation of the person. -
Post Postmodern worldview
This worldview was dated in 2000+. Interconnected networks is the best symbol to represent the post-postmodern world of the 2000+.Post-Postmodernism is like the next step. It's still questioning things, but it also recognizes that we're all connected. Think about the internet and everyone is linked together, sharing information and ideas. That's kind of what post-postmodernism is all about and acknowledging that we're all part of a giant, interconnected network, not just separate individuals.
