Arts-Based Research Papers

The definition of art is notoriously difficult and is a field of philosophical inquiry as such. The meaning of the word "art" are multiple, sediment and cross each other in the language. Missing uses of the word are present in expressions and help to make the subject more that difficult. However, according to my studies, art is an expression, a symbolic way to communicate. Its key is to make something subject or scientific, for instance: an object that went through certain modification would be consider an art. We have a different type of arts but I will only be focusing on this tree types: prehistoric art, art of the ancient near east and art of ancient Egypt.

By educating students any form of art, can open up new connections to imaginative thinking. The arts could even lead students to find new ways of studying that could benefit their other classes. Arts helps in finding different ways into processing ideas, not just analyzing an idea, but also taking into consideration of the more human side to things: emotion. With a student being more emotionally prepared to take on any task, it helps a student judge what is best for themselves in their routine of study. In “Necessary Edges” Yo-Yo Ma says how “we are also aware that wise and balanced judgment results from integrating the critical and empathetic, taking emotions as well as reason into account” (258). If the education system incorporates arts into the system then students could find means as to help relax from higher levels of thinking, as a means to release stress and to positively believe that they are striving to be their best. Wood supports the idea of incorporating art into education because with the incorporation of more technology placed into classes then it becomes “exhausting: a continuous period of forced engagement, with no relief in the form of time when my attention could flag or I could doodle in a notebook undetected

Over the years, I have flirted with visual art. It started with pencil drawing, continued as an affair with marker illustration, then a dalliance with lettering, and I now have a relationship with photography. However, my favorite art will never be displayed in museums or galleries. It is not static and immutable. Rather, my chosen medium is fluid, living, volatile. No matter how well rehearsed, it will never be the same again. That’s the beauty of performance art.

The two things that I can say without a doubt in my mind that I have done that have made a difference are my club, Irmo Arts Outreach, and my work at Lexington Medical Center(LMC) as a volunteer. Irmo Arts Outreach has left an impact more on the community than anything else, and the volunteer work at LMC has changed me more than anyone else. Irmo Arts Outreach was a dream I had, which I was able to make into a reality with the help of a few friends. What we do is go to the VA hospital to perform musical pieces for veterans, to let them know we appreciate everything they did for us and that they are not alone. I started the club, I organized our visits to the hospital, and I got permission for them to let us perform there. On our first visit

Many usually do not think insight can come from art, many sould realise that the experiences in the outside world with art can impact our lives with the best insight.

Creativity is often more about the process rather than the end project, it is useful for many reasons:

In Rhys Southan’s essay “Is Art a Waste of time?” he discusses art and if it can really be a tool to help those who are suffering or does handing over your money make a greater difference. In Yo-Yo Ma’s essay “Necessary Edges: Art, Empathy, and Education” he focuses more on art being used for educational purposes to essentially create more innovative and empathic people. Instead of focusing so much on STEM, the author states that we should also incorporate art. Although some people might disagree that art could make the world a better place it can by bringing attention to issues, art can become a teaching tool by integrating it into the education curriculum, and it can make the world a better place by saving lives and creating less violence.

The idea of arts integration is a topic widely used by arts advocates in schools to gain support and understanding from the community, though not many people understand what it means, exactly. The term arts integration is a teaching approach that incorporates the different arts disciplines to direct a better, and more well-rounded learning environment ( Metla). By integrating the arts into learning, the school systems broaden the traditional ideas of education which then helps to produce a more creative community. The schools and teachers use different ways to integrate the arts which include using the arts as their own separate courses or incorporating them into all of the separate classes (Arts Edge). The decision of which one of the ways will be used, or whether both will be used, is chosen by the individual schools based on educational standards and money.

When researching my personality type, Virtuoso, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to look into being a detective. Not only does it involve protecting lives and property, but the work itself can really take a toll.

Christian art is classified as Byzantine, but It is also very difficult to know when Christian art

Art classes are one of the many awesome electives available at Phoenix high school. The art program is unique because there are a total of 6 art classes in the program. Starting with ART I (Introduction to Visual Arts) a semester long class, ART IB (Advanced Drawing) a semester long class, ART II (Color Theory and Mediums in Art) a year Long class, ART III (Studio Art/Commercial Art) a year Long class, ART IV (Advanced Art) a year Long class, and AP ART - 2 high school credits. Students who complete this 4 year program with an AP option develop their drawing, design concepts to advance their visual communication skills, exploring a variation of design techniques, processes and composition using the elements and principles of design. The art

The first artwork I chose didn’t have a title with it but it was drawn by Douglas A. Beckett. I went to the Activity Center of San Marcos with Geoff Bretches and Alice Horn (My mom). The painting is a portrait with multiple types of rock looking shapes. You can’t really tell what the time of day was but it looks like it was outside on a mountain or cliff. It is a vertical realistic piece. The artwork was made in the contemporary period because it was drawn just last year. There is just a cluster of a bunch of big rocks surrounding pebbles. The artist must not be that famous currently because I couldn’t find any information on him.

The research is bound to bring many benefits to the society. Art has been a huge source of education, entertainment, and the general understanding of the history of humankind.

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

The relationship between art and design has been somewhat complicated and there is no clear picture how the roles of art and design ultimately differ. Some are saying that if design is good enough it becomes art. One great design thinker Kenya Hara has written some very good analysis about the relationship
