The call of May16 began from a high school website known as “idunno.org,” a page that primarily updates the school board and calendar of Dunno High School, where students were informed that there will be no late start on Wednesday, May 16. Every Wednesday, there is a late start which pushes the schools starting bell from 7:50 a.m. to 8:58 a.m., allowing students to sleep well and have more time for themselves in the morning. After hearing the news, the students of Dunno High School created the facebook page “Students of Wednesday” to protest against the school’s dismissal for late start.

Art is a skill used by humans which allows them to express ideas through writing, drawing, picture, sculpture, or other form. An artist can use art to prove a point to society, draw people’s attention to a situation or just as a means of entertainment in its design. Contemporary art is art produced at the present period in time or within our lifetime (Contemporary Art). Through contemporary art, artists are able to express social ideas or causes by giving us a glimpse into past events which have occurred because of decisions or actions and create a work which represent those events. Sometimes an artist uses as his or her inspiration a past event from their lives which has brought a strong emotion. Two contemporary artists who

Art does not exist in a vacuum; an artists’ work is influenced by the culture they were brought up in; this is true of the artists of the Renaissance who painted their Christian icons, and it is still true for the artists of today. We are inspired by the customs and traditions that surround us, and the society that has helped build the foundations of our character. Culture influences art, and art can be found in most aspects of a culture; from their paintings and writings; to their music and clothing. It is important to recognize this influence, and to give proper credit to the members of a culture that pioneer a form of art, but often times these people never get the recognition they deserve. Imitators come along and present their art, their culture, as their own. Most would agree that it is only right and fair for an artist to receive credit for their work, but in spite of this, this issue, known as cultural appropriation, continues to plague society.

Towards the end of my sophomore year I went through some personal problems that caused my grades to drop. It was unexpected and I was devastated due to the fact that I set out to reach my goal of a higher GPA that year. The shock of my grades only worsened the situation and slowly I began giving up. I maintained average grades with the help of my teachers and I set a few goals for myself. My goals included, a GPA of 3.5 or above, at least a 20 on my ACT, and to overall try to better my mental state. With hard work, I was able to raise my grades and have above a 3.0 GPA by the end of my sophomore year. The start of junior year was my chance to accomplish my goals, but I was faced with even more challenges. Same as before, my grades began to

Art has a profound effect on society. Maya Cherbo argues that art is completely intertwined in our daily lives. It is found in every medium and in every culture. Everything from social status, to basic self expression, and even societies using art for solidarity and distinctiveness prove this point. Our species is inherently “artsy” - it’s in our DNA and it is a vital part of the human spirit. Art is something ordinary that is turned special and that is exactly what we are doing in this current unit. We are using the artistic platform of theatre to elevate our poems about social challenges we face in 2017 to make a statement. This project isn’t just pointing out the problems in the world, we are elevating it into a powerful piece of

Remembering how school was for me always makes me think of my mother. I never wanted to leave the house, as she was severely ill. I never wanted to leave for long periods of time. I would always think the worst in the back of my mind, What if? What if she needed a drink of water and was unable to get it? What if she had an episode and was unable to get to the phone? What if the worst was to happen and I got back home to my mother not ever being there. This was a challenge for me daily. School was all right and all, I did enjoy going to school with my sister every morning. I savored the time I was able to spend with my friends. I also greatly enjoyed learning, it always seemed to be fairly easy. I ended up earning my GED my Sophomore year because

“Hey Man! I heard you’re going to be a Rambler this fall!” It was the question that my friends at LUC had asked me multiple times over the course of my senior year. I was set on going to LUC after I had gotten my acceptance letter, and I was already planning on all the cool events I wanted to attend during my time at Loyola. Then my other letters came in, and I had found out that DePaul was offering me a slightly larger scholarship for my high school efforts. Telling my friends that I was no longer planning on attending Loyola was rough but thinking about the small amount of money my parents would be able to put towards my education quickly made me remember that I needed to save as much money as possible. I proceeded to enroll at DePaul for Information Systems out of need to save money, but deep down, I knew I wanted to be a Rambler. To ensure that I had a chance at eventually coming to Loyola, I made sure to keep my GPA as high as possible while maintaining a part-time job. Everyday I went to work, I would make sure that I would set aside some money for my future as a

I am not so proud of the grades I received throughout high school. Receiving good grades has always been something I struggled with from middle school. I feel that I didn’t try to my full potential and I know I can do way better. The majority of the time, I’d turn in my work on time. Other times I wouldn’t, and that’s what would affect my grades. I did great freshman year, and fell off the end of my sophomore year. Senior year has taught me to push myself even harder than before, and this year I am eligible. Even though the grades I received throughout high school were not so great, I know that the motivation I carried through senior year will stick with me to not fall back down.

There has been an ongoing debate throughout history as to whether or not an artist’s work should be judged separately from their personal life. Art in general is assigned specific meaning in today’s society that may or may not actually suit the art itself. Pair that practice with the strict scrutiny of people in today’s time, and there is a ruining of art culture, as well as the perception of the artist’s brilliant work. All people, put under strict scrutiny, will not be able to live up to today’s societal expectations. Because of this, art will lose its meaning, due to the fact that many artists are not the epitome of perfection. This leads me to say that art must be judged separately from the artists themself.

As of now, we currently are currently living in U.S. society that heavily relies on pop culture and media and we have the statistics and data to prove of that. In fact, we as the viewers, audience member, and listeners of these songs and videos, have to realize if we solely know the true meaning behind them or not. With that in mind, we might not truly understand the real meaning and the message behind these songs, especially when you first hear the song and view the music video the first time. In this essay, I will be inspecting why big-time artists, singers, and writers want to spread the issues of race and politics through their songs, lyrics, and music videos as of this very moment and time.

As literary critics, Plato and Aristotle disagree profoundly about the value of art in human society. Plato attempts to strip artists of the power and prominence they enjoy in his society, while Aristotle tries to develop a method of inquiry to determine the merits of an individual work of art. It is interesting to note that these two disparate notions of art are based upon the same fundamental assumption: that art is a form of mimesis, imitation. Both philosophers are concerned with the artist's ability to have significant impact on others. It is the imitative function of art which promotes disdain in Plato and curiosity in Aristotle. Examining the reality that art

The connotations associated with any work of art or art medium are those of free individual expression without constraints or limitations. Even without constraints or limitations, artists are constantly under the watchful, scrutinous eye of the public. Each work of art, whether that be a painting, a dance performance, or a musical composition, is innately intended to engage an audience. I believe that captivating an audience with artwork should not be considered an act that should always result in an overall positive reaction from an audience. Instead, works of art should merely strive to make viewers or listeners feel some set of strong emotions, positive or negative. This discussion leads me to argue that due to the entire meaning of art being centered in an artist’s expression, censorship in artwork should not be allowed.

Art has been enriching the lives of men for ages and ages. From paintings on cave walls, to the Mona Lisa and her suspicious smile, to Andy Warhol and his intrinsic and thought provoking printed cans, art has impacted the lives of every man, woman, and child on Earth. These pieces of art all have strong social or philosophical messages, and have been studied by interpreters everywhere. What people do not usually take a second look at, yet still impacts their lives greatly, is art that exists purely as a form of entertainment. Art that is used as purely entertainment is not completely different from symbolic art or art that has inspired millions of people. This is apparent in the musical Xanadu, where the cultures of Ancient Greece and
