Coincidentally, works of public art may not be successful in spreading the messages of their creators. Ronald Lee Fleming and Melissa Tapper Goldman, in Public Art for the Public, discuss the possibility that “works that may gain critical renown in a gallery or sculpture park might be ridiculed in public” (Fleming and Goldman). There are however factors that have been known to influence not only how the public perceives public art, but also how the perception influences whether

From the beginning of time, art has always existed. Art came in many forms; from painting, to drawing, to sculpting. However, none of these forms of art seemed to withhold the same techniques throughout time. A way to describe art is to say that it is dynamic. Art is always changing, whether it the style of art, the techniques, or the medium. Art seems to evolve as time as gone on, from artist to artist, from region to region. In the seventeenth century, the focus of painting was very realistic.

Bernd and Hilla Becher Bernd Becher, born in 1931, and Hilla Becher, born in 1934, are German photographers.

Distinctively visual images have the ability to convey complex ideas and concepts about environments and people’s connection to places. The use of distinct images can cause individuals to reinforce their own perceptions or confront their value systems to perceive the world in a different way. In the postmodern Australian novella ‘Vertigo’ by Amanda Lohrey, distinctively visual images are used to convey the schism between urban and rural environments and how it impacts the Luke and Anna’s relationship

Fritz Lang introduces his first sound movie by filming “M” in 1931. As a drama-thriller the film is telling us a story of a pathological and bizarre case. The plot is quite intriguing as it is about a serial killer (murderer), called Beckert, of children called Hans Beckert and the violence spread in the city by him as the violence plays a main role in the film.

“The Habits That Hold You” Through the use of media and provocative lyrics an artist can express a more profound message than what is openly understood. Music, like our language, can have more meanings than what is plainly visible. These messages are commonly evocative of a greater issue in the artist’s life, or something that the artist sees as a flaw in society. Ed Sheeran is an alternative artist that very frequently strives to evoke emotions in the music he writes. In the song “The A Team”

There has always been a technical approach the directors and writers have followed when adapting a popular book into a feature film. From The Godfather, to Forrest Gump, to Harry Potter, each book was successfully transformed into a hit movie that influenced Hollywood for years to come. These movies combined several visual elements to portray a bold protagonist, the symbolism behind self-discovery, and the mise en scene of a magical world.

Philips, senior curator of photography at the San Francisco museum of modern art says “She was a great humanist photographer who was at the fore front of what has become recognized as a new kind of photographic art.” Instead of simply taking photos of sunsets, flowers, and rainbows, Diane Arbus set out and strove for more.

At the turn of the century, new trends in painting and in architecture emerged to replace the traditional forms of these arts, and introduce new and innovative ideas to the art and architecture of the new century. Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque introduced the cubism and collages, and defied the need for art to be literal and straightforward as much art was before the twentieth century. Architecture was transfigured by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, who
