Art Analysis

Introduction

The language of Art tends to be more strapping and striking as compared to the language of emotions. Since Art tends to decode the signs and happenings of the time they were built around on thrown onto the canvas. Art tends to represent the culture and tends to have a strong impact on an individual personality. However, both tend to be interpreted in many different ways which tends to depend upon the perspective of the individual (Data Retrieved From: http://www.nga.gov). Art and Architecture can have different meaning for one individual and completely different meaning for the other individual (Bourdieu and Johnson, pp. 106).

However, the tools to shape up the perspective tend to remain the same for every individual.

The mission of the Jew in this world is to spread light: fulfilling the commandment, we "light the light" that illuminates the world; banish the darkness, apathy and negativity. We fill the world with wisdom and harmony of the Creator (Podwal, pp. 35).

Each command is a source of spiritual light, and only two of them give light to the material - it is a commandment every day to light the menorah in the Temple of Jerusalem and of the commandment to light candles at the end of each of the eight days of Hanukkah (Podwal, pp. 35).

Chanukah candles are the history of the Temple menorah. Our sages decreed that Jews should light the Hanukkah candles on it in memory of the miracle that happened in the Temple. Temple Menorah was a huge golden menorah, the seven candlesticks which ran the purest olive oil, made in special circumstances, and this material world was the epitome of spiritual light emanating from the Holy Temple, which ...
