Art and Entertainment

Entertainment has become predictable and boring that we resort to another form of entertainment to amuse us. For example, whether it's on television or a conversation, we automatically pull out of phones because the other form of entertainment is too dull. Our minds need something fun and exciting to stimulate our minds, but with today's entertainment we have become numb to the fact that we're throwing away our life to something so unsurprising and unoriginal.

The values of entertainment have been a popular discussion for a long time. Some claim that it is wholesome and fun, while others believe entertainment will “involve our country in ruin”. I believe that, although it can be detrimental as a form of escapism, entertainment is mostly a benefit to society, thanks to its educational and economic facets.

Many people enjoy art in variety of different ways: through music, movies, television, writing, reading, painting, tattoos, clothing, jewelry and even the make up they put on. Many people utilize art in order to accomplish different things, for some it is a safe haven used to escape from reality, for others it

This is why it’s been so pervasive throughout human history, for about as long as we have existed we’ve had entertainment. Delving deep, we can readily say stories have informed and characterized how we explain our surroundings and identities from almost as far back as we can uncover. There are values and teachings written into myths, but they primarily serve as narratives, complete with colorful characters, unexpected twists, and in many cases elaborate performances. Often, the more ancient these sources the more the evidence for their enjoyment of entertainment is discredited. We have a tendency to assume that all ancient texts and narratives are religious in nature and thusly strict, rigid, and not intended for enjoyment or leisure. The presence of humor in many of these stories would seem to contradict this sentiment, so perhaps it’s the same bias against entertainment’s value that colors how these discoveries are considered, interpreted, and presented. This bias comes from that work-play binary I mentioned prior. Leisure activities like entertainment are classed as play, something frivolous or shallow. But in reality, entertainment is an important part of how we come to terms with our understanding of who we are and how we behave in important situations. So then, is it really just mindless

The reward for looking up a phone number is being able to use this phone number to call, send to someone or the like. The reward works of art bring are stand alone rewards. The contemplative and reflective state the artworks bring are the only desired outcomes. One does not read Jane Austen 's novel Persuasion for any reason except to enjoy the literature and the emotional response and sense of contemplation it induces. Therefore viewers of artwork do not view the work with the intent to achieve something. The experience itself stands on its own two feet and thus clearly separates and defines 'art ' as completely different to texts such as phone numbers or dictionary definitions.

Art can be defined as expression of human creative imagination. An artist creates artwork either for their own enjoyment or for the enjoyment of others. The value of the artwork can vary from the artist themselves to the audiences embracing it. This creates the value of art to be different for everyone. One may feel a deeper value for an art piece then someone else might. The value of art comes from different perspectives.

Prior to people writing off art, every person needs to sit down educated themselves about the culture. The information is extensive to learned about but very informative. Though art is considered to be an expression of creativity, it holds certain qualities that will benefit society. Art is more than express the creativity, it is a source of stress reliever, a channel of communication, and it deescalates the racial tension. Art has played a significant role in the gilded era, social justice movements and diversity. Art ideology brought unity among people and it also gave the world visual representation of time. That representation is being discussed in today society allowing people to have peaked at the times back then. Finally, as society

The issue with our entertainment is that we spend so much time entertaining ourselves that we lose focus of other tasks. We center our focus around finding ways to entertain ourselves and lose sight of

In art we had many assignments, most to which were boring. For example, the popcan landscape. It was boring because we drew the same things repeatedly. The most enjoyable part of the popcan landscape was when I drew popcan-people falling to their demise. Additionally, the one point perspective city wasn’t fun as well because it required trees and roads which were non-existent in my imagination. I wanted it to be an abandoned city that was turned into an insane asylum that lacked lifeforms except the crazy people. However, we weren’t allowed to explore our creativity to such levels in which it would be fun even if our imagination is quite insane. Art is supposed to be enjoyable and make you feel something; art is not about following all the

One learns from an early age the societal and communal importance of sports. Yes I say importance, because sports shape life and if one isn’t athletic, he or she risks being a social outcast. Kids bond over sports in the neighborhood, forcibly required to do sports through gym and recess at school, forced again to play sports in hopes to stay fit. Society places such an emphasis on sports they require you to take it for 13 years, kindergarten through grade 12—gym. On the other hand, arts do not have the same requirements besides the required art in elementary school. Which leads to the point that there are very little alternatives to playing sports. Society does makes exceptions for those who display an amazing talent

Entertainment. What is it? The Oxford Dictionary defines entertainment as “The action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment.” Huxley wrote Brave New World to prove his thesis that leisure in society does not lead to increased culture. In our society, our culture, when someone thinks of entertainment, they typically think of a movie, music, news, a book, magazines, newspaper, sports, or

The most important trait in defining art is its beauty. As complex as the term “art” can be, the term “beauty” is nearly just as complicated. In order to understand art more clearly it is important to understand beauty. “We label an object beautiful because it promotes an internal harmony or ‘free play’ of our mental faculties; we call something ‘beautiful’ when it elicits this pleasure.” (Freeland 8). As defined above, beauty is not a direct message. It is something that subconsciously allows man to feel good and pleasurable. There is “an internal harmony” when we observe something beautiful that allows us to take away a deeper understanding of a work of art regardless of it being “nice looking” or “ugly”.

Art can be a thing of beauty that causes energy and excitement. Art is what caused

For over two thousand years, various philosophers have questioned the influence of art in our society. They have used abstract reasoning, human emotions, and logic to go beyond this world in the search for answers about arts' existence. For philosophers, art was not viewed for its own beauty, but rather for the question of how art and artists can help make our society more stable for the next generation. Plato, a Greek philosopher who lived during 420-348 B.C. in Athens, and Aristotle, Plato’s student who argued against his beliefs, have no exceptions to the steps they had to take in order to understand the purpose of art and artists. Though these two philosophers made marvelous discoveries about the existence of art, artists, and
