RELATIVITY

Let me start this post by quoting Gowtham, of 8C. In his response to "what is art?" he posts:


"I think art is something that carries civilization, either if it is ancient or modern. Without Art there is no historical significance. Without art, ideas, thoughts and assumption are left to rust because there is no way to express them. Without art life isn't life, for imagination is left to perish without it."


Have a look at the image below. What is it?

Gowtham's response talks about civilization and the town has blue houses and maybe thats because of their tradition, who knows? WE only know that without art, the history of this town would've perished. Without art, historians never would've knew what the people in the past were trying to say when they were drawing pictures and other visual things.

I think Gowthams answer relates to this because he said art is something that carries out cvilization. In the picture you can see some sort of pottery. Potteries are seen in many ruins of ancient civilization.

I think that the comment he made is related to the photo article because he said that art was something that carries a civilization , which is why they colour the city blue.

I think Gowtham's comment is related to that city because it's painted blue which means that there must be a reason to be painted blue, for example a tradition of some sort and because there is a tradition, people can study their culture and history which means even painting a city blue can leave a trace in history.

I think they are related because the mega paint job, in a way, it is art. But this art is because it was a part of tradition for Israelites to color a thread of a prayer shawl. So, they decided to paint their city too! This made the city keep it’s traditions.

I think that the comment relates to the photo because the city's houses are all blue which is a tradition. Gowtham's comment was talking about art based on history, so the city's houses painted blue represents their history.

I think Gowtham's comment is related to the photo because in Gowtham's comment, he says that art carries civilization and without it there will be no historical significance. This photo is exactly like that, the blue colouring tells us the history of this place and explains alot about the past. Without it, this place will be like any other place and we wont know its history.

What I think Gowtham meant was that without art, we'd have no feelings that are placed on our artchitecture. For example: The design on the vase.The artist that would have made it would have put his/her feelings into it, making it a piece of art. Art needs inspiration, without it, we'd have no way to express how we feel.It would be the same as any other town but because it is painted blue it tells a story of how this civilization came to be.

I think the comment of Gowtham's is related to this because the "art" is painting the buildings blue giving it significance is history, its special, and so art "carried" the civilization. Art made it special.

I think Gowtham's response was related to the photo because he said," Without Art there is no historical significance," and the city has been painted blue for a long time and people had been carrying the tradition for centuries. If they had not painted the city blue, the city's historical significance might've been forgotten and wouldn't have made an impression.

I think Gowtham's response was really meaningful towards the city because since in his comment he said that "Without Art there is no historical significance," and that to me, that means that if the city didn't paint the walls and buildings blue, the histories behide the city was not to be remembered.

I Think Gowtham's comment is related to the photo because the photo shows how the old city used blue as a tradition for every building to have at least a shade of blue on it. The tradition just keeps carring on.

I see two paintings painted by artists that I think had seen something, thoght "that's what I'm going to draw", and drew it in a certain style that just captures the moment as very . . . blue. I also see two pictures taken by camera that seem to represent a town (perhaps city?) from a long time ago that felt so strongly about the color blue, that of all colors to paint their buildings, that's the color they chose. I think this relates to the comment by Gowtham because he thought without art there is no historical significance, because ideas and thoughts are left to rust, which would've happened to the very "blue" culture of the town in the picture, if they hadn't painted their houses blue and left them like that for the later generations. That would've meant that the two paintings probably wouldn't of been inspired and painted, and we would never of thought of expressing our ideas and thoughts by painting a picture of a certain color.

I have no idea if Gowtham's comment is related to the photo because I had absolutely no idea what it meant with all those big words. I'm joking. I think Gowtham's response is related to the article because the blue has something to do with the history of Chefchaoen showing the historical significance because the Israelites were commanded to use this dye to color one of the threads of their prayer shawl. It shows the citizen's belief in the bible and it carried civilization. If this happened right now or in the past it wouldn't matter.

I think that Gowtham's comment is related to the photo because he said, "without art there is no historical significance." This town has been known for being painted blue from long ago and that is what makes it unique. The photo also represents art carrying civilization because all the walls and roofs are blue.

For me Gowtham's response is related to the article on the city of Chefehaoen by having the historians express what they see, feel and imagine.Gowtham's response was that without art you wouldn't be able to express something, so the Chefehaoen's can't do art when you can't express.

Gowtham's response is related to the article because tradintionally painting the buildings blue is an idea that the civilization has built upon. Without this foundation, the people could have believed in a whole bunch of different thoughts(not knowing which to follow) and wouldn't have turned out the way they are today.

Gowtham's comment is related to the photo because in his comment, he mentions that art carries civilization, and in my opinion, that's exactly what this photo demonstrates. The tradition of making all these buildings blue shows that art can demonstrate historical significance. The originality and historical significance of Chefchaoen, Morocco is demonstrated and will be remembered because of this traditional art.

I agree with Gowtham's comment because art is everywhere! Art is so natural that you can see something that is art, but you don't even realize it. The picture you showed me, I think that it looks unique. Most buildings would be flat and not very colourful, but this one, it has bumps and its blue. If it was just one shade of blue, it would look dull, but no, it has different shades of blue and that makes it look unique.

Gowtham's response is related to Chefchaoen because as we read in the 1st line of his definition of art, he said- "I think art is something that carries civilization, either if it is ancient or modern."
I think this carries the town or in this case, civilization because the blue represents the religion that is practiced and carries the civilization in their ancient/old practice of faith.
Next he said,"Without Art there is no historical significance."
I think this part of Gowtham's response is related to the town of Chefchaoen because their reason for the art they do all over the town is because of the Historical meaning and representation of their faith/history.
His next line, "Without art, ideas, thoughts and assumption are left to rust because there is no way to express them."
explains how the town uses blue to express thier ideas, thoughts strongly and without fail.
"Without art life isn't life, for imagination is left to perish without it."
I think this line tells us how important this is for the the towns people and their faith it keeps it strong and acts as an symbol of their faith.
But the reason for painting the town blue isn't solely out of faith it's out of imagination,and expression of something.

I think that this stone city of Chefchaoen is unique because the people who live there have chosen to paint there city into vibrant shades of blue ,to make the city colorful and alive ,rather than what would have otherwise been dull shades of gray like any other city in the world.

I think that Gowtham's response is related to the city's article because,he is relating to the many wonderful shades of blue that are in this city.

I think that Gowtham's response is related to the article on the city of Chefchaoen in Morocco because the city was probably painted blue because of their historical significance and to carry on civilzation. I think that it is their tradition to paint the houses blue and that blue is a symbol of luck or happiness just like what red stands for in China.

I believe that Gowtham's response relates to this image of Chefchaoen Morocco because painting everything blue is there tradition that they have carried on from their ancient civilization. In addition to that this image shows historical significance because they wouldn't have done this if it wasn't started in the past. Also painting this city blue shows that art doesn't leave ideas, thought and things that are taken for granted behind.

The point of this article, the point of the people's ideas is the significance of human culture. If u look deep down on the true meaning of life, it is not the money or the treasures. Because what will they do with all the money when they are gone from this world? Nothing, and it means nothing but some useless pieces of paper. The true meaning of life is the culture and memory. For your legacies to move on even when you're gone.

This story is not famous for their artistic skill or their reviews. It is about the preservation of the culture and as if to remember the past. Gowtham is exactly correct. That is what the haved used to portray their past. With the power of art.

I think this article was trying to show us how the people of Chefchaoen, Morocco have been carrying there tradition of painting there city blue for the past centuries. Without the blue monochromatic art, the city's historical significance might not have been remembered. This city was once a home to refugies and painting there houses shows there way of life and how they used the bible as there motive to paint there city a certain way.
