Art Institute: An Intertextual Analysis

Art is something I couldn’t live without. I was never involved in anything. I never played sports and I was never active in clubs, so when I came to the realization of being interested in art, it was so exciting. I knew I would never be good at anything like sports, opposite my brothers. Both of my brothers had played football and basketball from their days in elementary school to high school. It just wasn’t the “thing” for me. Recently, I went to Art Club just to check it out and see what it was like. Consequently, I fell in love. Now, I can’t imagine my life without art. Since joining this club, I have become more creative, made more friends, and spread my horizons. Art has showed me what type of person I am and has made me grow as an artist and person.

I was fortuned to have had parents who had a respect for all kinds of art and approached life with an open mind. Thus being furthered blessed to grow up near a metropolis which possesses a major art museum and galleries showcasing new talent, filling young eyes with wonderment. An art appreciation study early own in life would have been beneficial but alas, I burn with shame as one who falls in the class of “I know what I like” when asked about art. I am all agog for semester’s end to be better equipped to articulate on why I am moved by a particular piece. After listening to the first week lecture and reading the first two chapters of the course text, it was difficult to narrow the subject of my essay to one subject. But, Chapter Ones quotes

This position is located at our Art Institutes of Indianapolis Campus. Is that convenient for you?

My creativity allowed me to compose solutions that most people would'nt. It dawns on me that an artistic view of the world is not only a significant aspect of myself but also to those around me. This experience allowed me to embrace my talent and encouraged me to utilize it rather than trying to suppress it with uncertainty. I don't worry about the authenticity of my art anymore because to be an artist, it's important to love every moment enough to persevere through the frustration. This is what makes the destination worth the

This semester I attended the Art Institute for the first time. At first, I did not know what to expect, so I was not really exited to attend the Art Institute. When I arrive to the Art Institute as soon as I walked in everything changed. All of the sudden a big smile appeared on my face. Walking around the Art Institute and looking at the different types of exhibits made me realize that this place is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The Art Institute has a variety of art exhibits from European culture to Asian culture, as well as Greek culture. As my friend and I were walking around the Art Institute we decided to enter the Modern Wing area, were they were having a Charles Ray exhibition. The art piece that stood out to me the most

Schools and educators are beginning to understand the value of inclusion of art education in K-12 curriculum more and more each year. So much so, that many states are adopting common core standards and hiring highly qualify teachers to teach in the subject area of visual arts. “Research over the past decade reveals areas where effective arts education strategies, especially arts integration techniques, have yielded practical and impressive results,” (Education Digest, 2011). Part of what is driving this initiative is the understanding that some students learn most effectively through the arts (Robinson, 2013). Recent research reflects that art integration correlates with low-performing learners by increasing test scores. Studies conducted in North Carolina and Oklahoma with art integration programs tracked consistent gains in student achievement as compared with state and district averages

The construction of a matrix for the learning journey of a lower school student from year seven through towards year eight is complex and should be diverse. I will be discussing the considerations and why we have made our decisions as a group throughout the matrix, before narrowing down on my focus to the one year exploration of visual arts for a year nine. Considerations for its construction include the influence of learning (specifically learning theories), creativity, teaching and learning processes, and assessment. It is important to note that what students can do at the beginning of this journey in comparison to what that can do at their completion of this pathway should be vastly improved upon.

Not only has the Art Department made it clear that recognising their cultural art student’s work is important, but also making an unforgettable experience out of it. Closely relating it to wider world events has never been so effective and successful for both the public attending and students whose work is exhibited.

Material Politics, a contemporary art exhibition that reflects conceptuality and politics has recently showcased in on of Queensland’s leading independent art gallery, the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) located in Brunswick Street, Brisbane. Artists namely: Zach Blas, Jemima Wyman, Megan Cope, Gabriella Mangano, Silvana Mangano, Archie Moor, Raquel Ormella, Keg de Souza and Tintin Wulia were commissioned and brought together to resurface political agendas exploring the relationship between art and capitalism.

A few years ago, my mom thought it would be enjoyable to go to the Museum of Fine Arts. She had always seen me draw in my free time and figured I would want to see other people’s art. I was excited, but I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t sure I'd be interested in the art. Whenever I went to a museum before, it was for school and all we saw were Greek statues. My mom and I parked in a parking lot that was far away from the museum and the long, chilly walk from the parking lot made my doubts increase. When I walked into the museum, my eyes widened with astonishment like a baby first learning how to take its first steps. My imagination exploded with exotic, unknown colors, shapes and textures. I noticed that each and every piece of art was different, unique and told a story. Every piece of art, whether abstract or realistic, started as just an idea in an artist's mind. There was once a time when all of the art pieces had been just blank paper.

This specific piece of art looks weird and out of place in it’s setting, creating unsettling contrast, as it is behind the Milwaukee art museum-a beautiful, sleek, and clean cut building. It is also in the middle of a field next to the beautiful lake, which is such a nice light hearted place. However, this sculpture is the opposite, and intentionally so. About 30 feet up in the air, there is a full-sized red car wrapped around a poll. The car is missing a rear view mirror, has a shattered windshield, dented in hood, and bent at an impossible angle. It is almost folded completely in half, giving the viewer the impression that it is two cars, not one at first glance. When looking at the car, someone can’t help but wonder if it was placed there for drunk driving awareness, to remind casual lake visitors that life is precious and short, or simply there because some artist really wanted to bend a car.

On a wonderful, Saturday morning, I visited the Cultural Art Center in Carrollton, Georgia. From the moment I arrived, art just filled the atmosphere. It was everywhere, from the moment you pull into the parking lot to inside every room of the art center. There were several pieces of beautiful art that caught my attention. The way each artist used the material was fascinating.

Lee College is currently hosting an exhibit of art created by students. During the tour of the exhibit I saw some very interesting art that I could relate to. The location of the art exhibit was placed in an area in which anyone could see and appreciate the work students had performed. This was my first time touring an art exhibit at Lee College and it was a very unique experience. Art itself is interesting because it has many different points of view. It can be attractive and appealing or unappealing if seen from a different perspective.

Our class textbook, Exploring Art: A Global, Thematic Approach, offers historical context into the role of gender in art. The text examines gender roles across time periods, countries, and mediums, revealing much of the reason we are where we are today. As a part of the Cengage curriculum, it highlights some of the most crucial points and works throughout history, such as Abduction of the Daughters of Leucippus, to depict the context of the origins of the female relationship throughput art

The sculpture is something that can help bring people together for something good. It can lead to people helping make the community better, “public art can also transform dull or run-down public spaces and inspire the people who live and work there. We believe that art is educational and belongs to all people. We endeavor to produce creative projects that engage
