In my previous reflection, I elaborated on the concept of daydreams and how the subconscious mind feeds into our conscious ambitions. Art is meant to be an expression of emotions rather than the intellect. Therefore, art should be autonomous from restriction since the subconscious mind is also autonomous from the strain of restrictions. However, certain philosophers believed that specific criteria should be involved in the process of creating and viewing art. While I agree with Plato’s theory that responses to beauty are expressed through emotions rather than intellectuality, I disagree with his stance on the role of the artist within society and the negative influences on those who indulge in the experience of aesthetical pleasure. While Schopenhauer also contributed agreeable statements about art, his primary theories are distasteful and pessimistic. He views art from a gloomy point of view and claims that life itself is a “pointless game”. I believe that the expression and indulgence of art promotes a positive and therapeutic reaction within the soul which provides spiritual nourishment and encouragement. If we approach art without openness, we are bound to agree with the controversial opinions of Plato and Schopenhauer. While Plato offers an interesting perspective on art, I disagree with his paranoid perspective on the influence of art within society. He believes that “art is dangerous, for its appeal to the irrational distracts us from the
When I first decided to expand my education, it had been so long since I had been to school, and I was very hesitant. I talked at length about my decision with my husband and with his encouragement, decided to enroll but still was not quite sure which degree program to enroll in. I knew that this was something that I had always wanted to do since I obtained my Associates Degree in Nursing, but I did not have the courage, nor did I want to give up the time with my family and children. I second guessed my abilities and my knowledge because it had been so long since I had been in college. Now that my children are about to graduate high school and
There are multiple reasons I am where I am today and why I’m going where I’m going. I have struggled in school ever since I can remember but without the people that I have had in my life I wouldn’t where I am today. But as I will talk about the teacher have played a huge role in the reason I am able to be where I am today.
On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.
Process recordings have been very helpful in allowing me to see my strengths and areas that need improvement. It allows for me to check if I am using my competencies correctly and applying all the skills I have been thought. They also allow for feedback from my field supervisor so that I ensure the best services for my clients. I gain a better understanding of what I need to change about my approach and how to develop proper treatment goals with my clients. I get to put the knowledge I gained in all my classes to help a better understanding of the role of a social worker.
Art, I was planning on discussing this with you this week. With you out tending to far more important issues, I am going to include Janene in the discussion right away as this is an issue that will likely need to be discussed at her level or above and we should get the discussion started sooner rather than later.
many people judge art is only uses their eye to looking that without understanding art’s meanings and social value. Social enviroment impact human’s option and humans are the combination of emotional and rational. Art is sensibility and it embodies culture, literary, religion and other social element. Since each person's culture and faith conflict that art has caused many social diputes. According to the Mack’s “It Isn’t pretty...But Is It Art?” and Grody’s “Graffiti:The Anatomy of a Piece” both authors believe art is produced by the artist’s emotions, but most people misunderstand art and they without uses their emotional to appreciate the art.
The concept of perspectivism falls into place in this scenario. Art is perceived differently by varying individuals. There can be
Art is produced to "be appreciated primarily for their beauty of emotional power" (OED). The speaker in chapter eleven of The Picture of
Art Leo Tolstoy challenges elite artistic circles through his work, “What is Art.” In it, Tolstoy argues that while many believe that great art is that which only a few “elite” are able to comprehend, truly great art is that which evokes great emotion and feeling in the masses of people. Those who believe that great art is only great because only few understand it are blaming the viewer for not understanding, when Tolstoy actually blames the artist. It is not the fault of the viewer that he or she does not see what the artist sees.
The timing could not have been worse. Everything had to go off without error or I would be devastated. The other committee members and I had been working for months and it all came down to that evening. I had to make it from the house to LAX without running into traffic, get through security, and pray with everything I had that my flight would not be delayed or cancelled. Then rush home, get dressed, and make it to the event all by six o’clock. It was going to be tight.
In this assignment, I will reflect upon an incident within the clinical practice involving a smoker patient . For the purpose of this assignment, Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (1988) has been used to guide the reflection on the incident. The patient's name, in relation to confidentiality will not be used according to NMC confidentiality.
As a photography major, it was never clear to me on why I had to take a drawing class. I dreaded each class because of the known fact that I didn’t possess the skills to be a good drawer. When speaking to friends and family, I would always complain to them saying, “I’m going to fail this class. I have no idea why I have to take these drawing classes.” As the quarter went on and the more I learned about the different drawing techniques such as the use of lighting to create interesting shadows or the use of color to create a sense mood and emotion, I began to realize the parallels that drawing and photography have.
Over the course of the semester, I have been fortunate enough to work with a student who is having difficulties when it comes to reading. My student does not have difficulties when it comes to hearing a word, but rather when he sees a word. My student has definitely benefited from one on one work with me as well as the additional help he’s getting from the reading specialist during their WIN (what I need) time. My student does not like to read because he knows that he is struggling and he is embarrassed about it. When my student goes to his WIN time, he does really well because the instruction is at his level and there are only two other students who are also on the same level there as well. Besides the current intervention, programs I would recommend are Direct Instruction: Reading Mastery, Letter Spacing, Wilson Reading System and the Lindamood program (LiPS).
“The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender.” (Booth, William) This was said by William Booth a famous British preacher. The problem with people in today’s society is our innate desire to control everything. “Playing God," as it is sometimes referred, suggest that an individual must control all aspects of their life and sometimes others; possibly stemming from frustration or insecurity, this poor practice only hurts the individual. I had to learn this lesson the hard way my junior year in high school after joining the varsity football team. I attended Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Raiders, their mascot, are known nationwide as a high school football juggernaut. Aware of this fact when I came in as a freshman, I saw this reputation as an opportunity to be in front of numerous college scouts. Despite that, I would not have foreseen the challenges to my character and personal strength I would soon be facing.
Why is a question I often asked and never got the answer too. Being that I was and still am in a state of my life where all I can do is ask questions, I turned to philosophy. With getting my general education in mind I chose this class out of curiosity. Though it was not my intention to actually find meaning in the class, I did. It opened a light that I didn’t think shined as bright as it did. I’ve always let society and my past experiences determine my outlook on life and how I chose to present myself. Dealing with a lot of mental hindrances, like depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, I was nearing my breaking point. Asking questions every day on what the good life was and whether I’d be happy I felt stuck. Now looking back through the semester, I’ve answered a lot of the questions I didn’t know I wanted to ask. Keeping my curiosity alive as well as, the question “Is this the life I want to live?”
