Art And Literature In Society : The Influence Of Art, And Society

Casually portraying elements of beauty in the simplest things, Emily St. John Mandel explores the response of a closely related group of characters to a devastating world catastrophe in the novel Station Eleven. While examining themes of art and simplistic beauty, Mandel grabs the reader's attention by moving back and forth throughout time, displaying how art is hidden in every aspect of human life. The novel itself is a post-apocalyptic fictional about the aftermath of a worldwide flu pandemic, the “Georgia Flu,” wiping out most of society.

            Many people don’t realize that art is involved in everything. I think that as a society it is our responsibility to support, promote, provide access and education to the history and or practice/appreciation of the arts in our community. To be honest when I think of art I think of famous paintings but in reality, everything around us involves art. Through what I have learned in this class so far I have learned that there is more to art than just a painting. Through art we can communicate the things we can’t necessarily see or articulate through spoken or written speech; it acknowledges that which is hidden to the naked eye, and it has a transformative power that allows us to access parts of ourselves and the

Throughout the book Station Eleven by Emily St.John Mandel, the theme of memory, death, and literature are constant. The characters of the story are heavily involved with literature, from actors, to painters. Almost every character mentioned within the story is involved with some kind of art. Kirsten treasuring her Dr. Eleven comic books, August with his scavenged poetry, Arthur and the entire Traveling Symphony with their preserved performances, and Miranda with her life's work, Dr. Eleven. And, throughout the post-apocalyptic setting of the narrative, characters of the story are attempting to grab fragments of art to paint a picture of what the world was once was before, or use then as an escape tool from the depressing post apocalyptic setting, or even used as a guide to how to live one’s life. Thus, literature is an essential object to have as it provides people with a sense of morality, a coping method for depression, and a truth that transcends historical facts.

Bob Bryant, the Executive Director of Fine Arts for Katy ISD in 2000, emphasises the importance of utilizing art in schools’ curriculums: “The arts are what make us most human, most complete as people. The arts cannot be learned through occasional or random exposure any more than math or science can” (Bryant). Art is a way of expression and leads to acquiring a deeper understanding of the details in life. The first day of preschool, teachers teach through the help of art. This is due to the fact that art is the foundation of a child's learning. Art is a way, where one can explore their ideas and thoughts. Creativity should neither be contained nor limited. Art is an outlet used for people to show who they are. The aspect of art is carried along in each generation. Different cultures use art to show who they are as one. Art appeals to people's senses and emotions, which helps people connect with one another. Since art is an essential, integral part in a student's academic learning, schools should make art classes mandatory.

The decline in the presence of fine arts, as well as their funding, in American public schools is associated with the changing priorities of American politicians, as well as the diverse curriculum that does not provide the arts a place. Since the relatively recent inception of new educational legislature, such as NCLB (No Child Left Behind), arts are struggling to find a space in the classroom even though they are integrated into the mandated curriculum. Whether it be increased focus on test preparation in core classes, or the view fine arts are disposable sector, the nation continues to grow in its aversion to the various performing arts.  This continuing anti-art sentiment has begun to lead to fiscal consequences for arts programs, such

I believe that this semester helped me put myself in a new light around the definition of the world today. Before, I didn’t believe that art could change my life about the world today, but now art has one of the biggest influences of my view of the world today. Every single piece of art today was created by the deception of the people mind. In the world today, I understand myself very differently than before. The world we live in now is more divided than in the past. We live where divisions are always made, such as the separation of the Korea or the border we have between America and Mexico. However, separations are not just about the physical borders we see, but by other separations, such as the white and the colored community. What all these

Humans have a long history of expressing ourselves through medium for varying reasons that have not always had to do with survival. We as a species have continued to try and portray our visons from inside the mind to the tangible world for our fellow beings by using drawings. There are a multitude of ways that the mind can reach our world. Some ways are seen as more familiar than others. If there are more familiar ways, then there is also a less familiar way. The fine arts such as art are what separates a satirical essay from a Grecian statue. Jeanette Winterson examines what art means to in our larger society and how to learn to truly appreciate and experience art.

Art is important and has changed history in many ways. One reason why art is important is because art has meaning to it, I will be talking about Leonardo Da Vinci and how he and his paintings changed the world. Another one of the reasons how art changed the world is the printing press. I will be explaining how the printing press helped art change the world. Then I will explain how art helps change the world by improving kids thinking, imagination and helps relieve kids depression.

The impact art has on the citizens of the Untied States is incredible. Through the NEA, incredible strides have been made in arts education. The Endowment funds research for those who create studies relating to the arts. One such researcher is Kenneth Elpus, whose research report entitled “Arts Education and Positive Youth Development: Cognitive, Behavioral, and Social Outcomes of Adolescents Who Study the Arts.” The study examines the positive effects on social, cognitive, and behavioral skills that an arts education can have on children as they grow into adolescence. Findings from the report show students who took art classes of some form were 55.38% more likely to have attended college by the time they reached adulthood. The report concluded

For this assignment, I chose the section 'Art and Social Consciousness’ because art which incorporates the struggles and injustices within a specific time period, both intrigues and encourages me to learn more about these artists and the directive they incorporated into their art.

Though it's all around us, sometimes it's easy to forget that art and literature does so much for society. They are, as some would argue, the things that make humans, well, human. Both art and literature have an ability to capture the imagination in ways that are mystifying. They preserve the past, shape the present, and predict the future. They affect the mind in amazing ways.

The arts have a long and storied past in the United States. Through the years the arts have ranged from a luxury to a staple, rising and falling in interest and availability based on public opinion (Heilig, Cole, & Aguilar, 2010). Despite the rocky road the arts have faced, they never disappear completely. Art supporters hope to one day see a society that values the arts, and for the need to arts advocacy to vanish.

Society, it’s complex, it’s frustrating, it’s something that we’re all apart of. Art, it’s complicated, it’s lovely, it’s a part of everyone’s lives. Without art, society would be unable to truly thrive. Art is one of the most important things that society could even dream of having. Life would be bland and meaningless, there would be no personality and society would be completely emotionless. Art surrounds our daily lives and people fail to realize that. Art created our society that we love so deeply, without it, life would not have a purpose.

“Movement” is described as the changing of one’s location or advancing themselves into a time or place suited for themselves. The fine arts being one of the most prominent, or even yet, most suitable example of this phenomena. Sun King to among wild beasts, the variation of art and a synopsis will be presented on Italian and Spanish Baroque, “Natural” Art, Realism, Post-Impressionism, and Fauvism.

The motivated aims of art define deliberate, willful actions on the side of the artists or creator. These are conveyed specific messages, i.e., political, social, etc. They are also conveying the emotions, psychological expressions, they are created for a specific propose, psychology.
