Time In Blue Analysis

The thought of art is more than what you see it is what you feel and what you learn from looking at it. Art can heal the soul and create and new outlook on images we may see every day. Sadly, we may not always see the art in things, pieces, or, humans.

In Light Blue Versus Dark Blue: Attitudinal Differences in Quality-of Life Policing, Lorenzo M. Boyd explores the difference between the attitudes of Black and White police officers regarding quality-of-life arrest. Boyd explains that quality-of-life arrest focus police resources on aggressive enforcement of social and physical disorders and not only crime per se (Boyd 38, 2010). In other words, “police believe that strategically targeting disorder and/or quality-of-life violations instead of just responding to service calls is critical in preventing serious crimes” (Boyd 38, 2010). This type of policing often referred to as Broken Windows Theory or broken windows policing focus on low quality crimes such as graffiti and vandalism. These crimes are often victimless and more likely crimes against property.

All works of art have a purpose or a kind of message they want to convey. When the artist is working on the piece they may already know the message or realize after the piece is complete just like

Art- Art is a way of life, life resembles this art, but art rarely has to do with life, so look at it- enjoy it- and don’t spend your life trying to understand what the artist never planned in the beginning.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

Not only is he considerate toward Jonas, The Giver addresses the society’s problem at the end as well. When he and Jonas decide on the plan to escape to Elsewhere, the Giver knows that the people would be defenseless against their own inexperience and that he has to stay behind to help them deal with the exceeding amount of memories. The Giver states how he doesn’t want the Rosemary incident (this time being more severe since Jonas has a year’s worth of recollections) to happen again. The Giver had already served as Receiver of Memory for decades in the community by enduring the grief that accompanied the memories, yet he still dismisses Jonas’s offer to avoid the society’s imminent problems by running away. This further confirms that the

“Painting today is pure intuition and luck and taking advantage of what happens when you splash the stuff down. “- Francis Bacon. However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.

“American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.” They value respect for the individual, listen to understand, value diversity and respect individual differences.

Teamwork which they promote partnership and teamwork, acknowledge and reward both individual and team accomplishments.

In the early twentieth century under Mao Zedong’s leadership, the Chinese government encouraged population growth, condemning contraceptives and praising large families. This led to birthrates of over four children per couple. In just a few years, the population had doubled, severely straining Chinese agriculture. From 1959 to 1961, a horrific famine killed as many as thirty million people. Thus, by 1975, the Chinese government had reversed their policy on population growth (Clarke), adopting the slogan “Later, Longer, Fewer.” This campaign urged couples to have two to three children and to begin reproducing at a later age, as well as promoting improved sanitation and healthcare to as to increase life expectancy (“5 Things to Know About China’s 1-Child Policy”).

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

     Art, in each and every form that it comes in, shows us who we are. Our

Art is simple. Art is complex. Art is everything. Take a moment, everyday, to find art in the surrounding world. By doing this simple task, the understanding of art emerges. This

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”.
