Personal Values Of Art

Attending The Mississippi School of Arts is not only an opportunity, but a privilege. Working with a large network of alumni and former students that have similar passions in life, can keep me motivated to do art. Having a community of artist around will help me to stay productive and creative. Surrounding myself with other artist can lead to new ideas, constructive criticism, and a great camaraderie with classmates. I want to be able to attend workshops and lectures, meet with visiting artist, and participate in extracurricular activities that bring me in contact with other artist. By the time I graduate, I hope to have an the opportunity to meet with numerous individuals in the art and design world. These connections can help me lead to art

Death is a topic that unites all of humanity. While it can be uncomfortable to think about, confronting death in unavoidable. “Dying” addresses that discomfort and universal unwillingness to consider the inevitability of death. Pinsky’s use of imagery, symbolism, and tone create a poetic experience that is like death, something every reader can relate to. In “Dying,” Pinsky describes how people are oblivious and almost uncaring when it comes to the thought of death. Pinsky is trying to convince the reader that they shouldn’t ignore the concept of death because life is shorter than it seems.

I believe that as a society we indeed do have a social responsibility to support, promote, provide access and education to the history and or practice and appreciation of the arts in our community. Social responsibility, to me, is an arrangement of conduct designs that depicts how my activities will profit the general public. It could be a little demonstration of giving assets (capital and materials - garments, books, sustenance, and so forth.) or currently endeavoring to achieve change. By and large, people have a tendency to be either dynamic or uninvolved with regards to social responsibility. It is possible that they abstain from enjoying exercises they esteem will hurt the general public (detached) or they effectively take an interest in some action.

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

Death has captured the mind very early on and since then it has driven us to create some of the most powerful images in the world. In this essay I am going to discuss why art often symbolizes death and some of the complex ways in which art represents death.

Art has always been considered the effervescent universal tool of communication. Art does not require a concrete directive . One sculpture,drawing or written creative piece, can evoke a myriad of emotions and meaning . Artistic pieces can sometimes be considered the regurgitation of the artist's internal sanctum. In Richard Hooks graphic painting,Adoption of the Human Race, the effect of the imagery,symbols ,color and emotional content projects a profound unification of a spiritual edict.

This art work made by Pierre Auguste Renoir is oil by the visibility of the smudges and the texture the oil creates over the whole painting. The artist uses color evenly, the men are wearing white while the women are wearing dark navy blue, while the men and women are evenly distributed throughout the picture. The artist uses more dull colors, no dull vibrant colors mostly white, yellow, and dark blue. The colors used are even and well blended. Some symbolism used in the painting is how the men are all wearing white cutoff t-shirts but the women are covered up in dark clothing which around that time period women did not show skin possibly. In this piece the forms are realistic and

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

In both photographs I think that the artists were trying to make a point and break the social norms to which people had followed for many years. I do consider these as being work of arts. One reason why I think they are art works is because the artist went on and beyond the social norms of traditional western artworks and they’re for allowing them to express what they wanted. In both art works the artist were not satisfied with how certain systems and institution functioned in regards at to what was appropriate and not appropriate. In the case of Beuys’ artwork he tried to emphasize that need to be a balance between nature and culture. Beuys is shown with a to be wearing a gold leaf mask and honey that covers his skin, he also has a dead hare

The Mona Lisa, 1503 - 1506, painted on poplar wood (77 x 53cm) with oil paint.

Pillar 1 Subject Matter: In artwork there is usually one main theme or subject matter to the piece. This focus allows the audience to understand or get a sense of what the artist is trying to get across. The subject matter of artwork is what tells the story when looking at a piece, it is usually takes up the majority of the canvas. Although it may be hard to identify for some people it is what the artist chooses to be the one main focus of the piece. In the Islam faith their first pillar, Shahadah, is the profession of their faith in one God known as Allah. Like in Islam, art in a creative way professes one purpose, one story, one subject.

This piece leaves traces of a bunch of peoples clothes that they may have left behind. This is a pile of clothes is presented as a mass grave. Clothes are appearing but the bodies are missing, the people whom the clothes may have belonged to may have passed away or be hiding somewhere beneath the pile of clothes. This is like a memorial full of clothes to commemorate a life or gain knowledge of a terrible event. Memorials are events in a way, they can be for the public. People give a lot to the dead such as they present us with events like this, this is a commemoration o mean to remember and not forget. The remembrance of this event or what lies in the artwork, it is not possible to forget. This is a documentation of memory so we don’t forget what happened. These are the clothes that are left of them piled on top of each other. We learn to survive through the trauma of what has happened. We learn to survive through the grief of a loved one, the one we lost. A college student I interviewed, the victim made a good point we learn how to survive in these difficult situations, such as the Kathmandu earthquake. We learn to survive because of our talent to remember everything. The author has interviewed a college student that made a very good point. She said it was an experience. Memorials and monuments are a celebration of their life or something that had happened in the past. War Memorials

Is art a form of self-expression from the artist to their audience? Self-expression is defined as, “the expression of one's feelings, thoughts, or ideas, especially in writing, art, music, or dance.” (English Oxford Dictionary). The source of inspiration for art is unknown for certain, but it is commonly believed that it comes from inside the artist, based on their life lessons and experiences. If the inspiration comes from within, then artists are expressing themselves through their art, thus art is self-expression. There are innumerous forms of art, from writing to dancing; singing to creating a drawing, public speaking and everything in-between. A person who is whistling is expressing how they are feeling through the notes that they hit. Someone who is drawing can use darker colors, such as browns and blacks to give off an eerie tone. Does that mean that all art is self-expression? No, not all art is self-expression, maybe it isn’t self-expression at all. This leads to the debate over whether art is self-expression if the inspiration comes from an outside source, rather than from within.

The brief for this assignment is as I see it to research more than 8 carving cultures and to explain the impact of social and cultural belief on art practice. To present research material in the correct form and record citations and bibliography correctly. This information is based on the question.

Art education is often underestimated by many who believe that school was created to teach only analytical concepts such as mathematics and literature. However, research has shown that art courses are important, even necessary for students in elementary, middle, and high schools. These art classes may include not only visual arts but performing arts such as dance, theatre and choir. Barbara Streisand said, “Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for the truth,” (Quotations). Streisand points out that there are multiple benefits to art whether it be painted by a brush or sung from the heart. Art has the ability to allow people to see situations from
