Art Is The Free Expression Of The Human Mind And Its Senses

This book is about an artist both in Mexican history and a boy who compares the art to what art might look like in his society today. It shows progression from different time periods within the same culture.

A novelist and a poet, Julia Alvarez is considered to be one of the greats when talking about American literature. At her current age of 64, she has a numerous amount of writings and has won many awards. Personal life experiences from her youth to the Civil War to now have highly influenced her works (Heredia). Descriptive and influential, it is clear why Alvarez’s publications have influenced society the way they have today.

Art has had a profound significance to me throughout my life. As a child, art was my retreat from the mundane of the world. I found a way of communicating the things I was feeling with others around me! It gave me different perspectives and ways of looking at events, emotions, and people. All of these perspectives helped shape me, made me contemplate the individual I wanted to be and how the world behaves. Art answered as many questions as it posed. It made life worth living. From that moment on, there would never be a day in my life that didn’t involve art in some form or another.

Explain the aesthetic definition of art. Is it plausible? Explain why, or why not, with specific reference to literature.

The meaning of a unadorned sculpture that one passes by on a routine bases, can end up having a much more monumental and deep meaning than what an individual may have discerned. Untitled is just one example of the multiple pieces of artwork that stands tall throughout the Lewis and Clark Community College campus. A strong representation of many different feelings is given off to the buildings, its surroundings, and the students and faculty that walk among it. Each physical characteristic comes together to design the horse and can be analyzed to have meanings like recognition, nobility, and guidance.

I’ve always known that I wanted to pursue art education. Ever since I was a little girl, seven years old to be specific, I have wanted to be an art teacher. I remember vividly sitting in my second grade art class talking to my teacher and realizing that everyone has different skills and abilities, and that perhaps art was going to be mine. It was there in Country View Elementary School that I became fascinated with colors and the idea that an artist can start with nothing and create a masterpiece. Soon after that I came to the conclusion that I needed to do art every single day of my life. This realization that I loved creating art continued, and when I was in middle school and beginning of high school I spent several summers at a summer art camp. The camp

Isabel Allende had many family difficulties that altogether resulted in her being one of the most successful female writers in history. “Allende was born to Tomás and Francisca who divorced when Isabel was three.”(McCann). As a result of the divorce, Francisca and Isabel moved to Santiago to her grandparents’ house where she spent her childhood. “Her grandmother 's interest in fortune telling and astrology (the study of the influence of the stars on human behavior), as well as the stories she told, made a lasting impression on Allende.”(McCann). This impression influenced Isabel to start reading and writing. “Following the months after her uncle Salvador Allende’s assassination, Isabel realized it was getting exceedingly dangerous for her family to live in Chile. Therefore, Isabel fled to Venezuela along with her husband and kids in 1973.”(McCann) After moving to Venezuela she started writing her first book, The House of the Spirits.

Today day, art still is a controversial subject of aesthetics, in discussing whether variety form of modern visual art is art or not. In Laurie Schneider Adams’ article “What is Art?” and Marcel Duchamp’s “The Creative Act”, they have own criteria to definite what the nature of art, its meaning and its function. In evaluation Doris Salcedo’s art work Atrabilious, a set of worn shoes encased in rectangle niches on the wall. I agree with their explanation of art thought the combined in structure and form to express the truth and beauty of Salcedo’s work, the nonfigurative subject catches the symbolic harrowing moment of the effect of war and violence happened, also a metaphor of her culture idea and individual meaning, experience her political view to deal with female issue of the subject matter.

I believe art a door to a another dimension because it can put you can a zone, it can change your mood, and art has a way of expressing yourself. For example I remember the time when I had to do my chores. I was absolutely dreading washing the dishes. So, to pass time, I decided to listen to music.

Art is the examination of the human condition through some medium. That means that art expresses what humans are and why we act the way that we do. We can use this definition to explain film and what film is trying to get across to use. This allows us to relate to art on a personal level. An example of a film would be Citizen Kane. The theme of Citizen Kane is that life is hard to be interpreted no matter how hard we try. This film is considered art because it examines how a human goes through life. It also displays how you can’t sum up a person’s life in an article. Throughout the film, Jerry Thompson tries to figure out what Charles Kane’s last word meant and was assigned to write about Kane’s life. In the end, Thompson never found out what “rosebud” meant and was unable to put together the piece of Kane’s life because human life is too complicated. This film expresses what humans are and is a great example of art as a film. Another great film example is The Stanford Prison Experiment. This film displays how humans interact with authority and how people act when they are given the power authority. This is considered art because it displays to the viewer why we act a certain way when we have authority and why we act a certain way when all of our authority is stripped away. It is a great example of film as art due to how it examines the human behavior.

This week’s reading presents a brief summary of the career of the Pre-Raphaelite painters Anna Blunden, Elizabeth Siddal, Lucy Brown and the photographer Julia Camero, and their struggles to became well-known respected artists. I believe that the main point of this reading is to show the difficulties of female artists in a patriarchal world. All these women share same obstacles and frustrations due to their role as women in society and their disadvantages within the artistic arena. We might question why there are so few female artists recorded in history compared to men? definitely, this reading portrays the adversities that women faced during the 18th century when their aspired to become artists. For instance, Elizabeth Siddla’s career was the one that most caught my attention. Even though she had a short career, I really admire her persistence and perseverance to achieve a professional status. Coming from a lower social class, hence, not having monetary power or family connections with painting she had encountered with extra difficulties during her career. In order to get access to the studio, she occasionally model for Walter Deverell, which was not considered “respectable.” Furthermore, in

Most people see the serious and realist part of me, for that is the part that shows when I’m working or at school. The part of me that people do not see however, is the part of me that loves stories. When I am reading a book, watching a movie, listening to music, or acting on stage, I put myself in the place of the characters. This is the only time I can let myself drift into the story and imagine what I know can never really happen. These forms of art allow me to be an optimist and dream, which is the real side of me.

Eric Velasquez does understate the meaning of the story by having the Author’s Note at the end explain that the “Diego Velazquez portrait of Juan de Pareja had a profound and lasting effect on [him]”. He believes that the painting he saw was the reason he is an artist today, which is very much an understatement in the story.

There is a reason why art was created and have existed since the very first period of human civilization. “Art”, although a single and simple word, carries a vast meaning behind.“Art” is pottery; “Art” is structures, sculptures, paintings, embroidery, and many other creations. “Art” is truly unfathomable. “Art” is an aesthetic; it gives us the meaning of beauty. “Art” is history; it gives us valuable information about the past, about the growth and decay of human civilizations; and as a result, “Art” is a teacher. “Art” teaches us about ourselves, our pasts, about others; “Art” tells us how we have become the beings we are today. However, there might be an appropriate word that can incorporate all the meanings of “Art”. “Art” is a preserver. “Art” preserves an artist’s emotions; “Art” preserves the craftsmanship of an artist; “Art” preserves beauty; “Art” preserves progression: “Art” preserves history; “Art” preserves ideals; “Art” preserves teachings; “Art” preserves religions, and last but not least “Art” preserves beliefs. Having been established in the fifth century BCE and growing ever since, Buddhism has claimed its position as one of the five major religions of the world. As for the rich teachings and beliefs of Buddhism, whether it is the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, or the ideals of the Buddha, everything has been preserved and passed down until this day. And as enthralling as they already are, Buddhist beliefs have been passed down not only through

What is art? What is public art? What is its power? What can it do? According to the article by Patrick Frank, “Public art is art that you might encounter without intending to; it exists in a public place, accessible to everyone” (Pg. 480) If this definition is true, all kinds of advertisements are great forms of Public art. Street, high way, TV, Twitter, YouTube, all of these kind of “Public spaces” are the hotbed of advertisement. Thus, advertisement contains the element the art have, it is a work that created by the people who want others to feel or think what they feel or think, or what they want them to feel or think, which perfectly describe the property of advertisement. But, just like black swan and white swan in the “Swan lake", not all the public art is affecting people in a constructive way, so do advertisement, making worse by its bestially influence and creating lots of problems. Therefore, the toxicity of advertising is created by its purpose, missing regulation and abnormal value of the object in it.
