Art thou

What is art exactly? Art can come in several shapes and forms. In some cases, art can be used for entertainment purposes, or they can expressed through a debate or argument.  It can be personal, for example, perspectives on the way the world is seen, expressing one’s thoughts, emotions, and desires. Artistic creativity is widely common amongst different cultural practices, expressing beauty within inherited ideas passed down from generation to generation.    Artistic expression is needed in cultures

envisioned my life deeply intertwined with art, however, at the same time I also knew that vision never had me living out the stereotype of a starving artist either. As a child my understanding of artist in the work force was nothing more than the cliché vision, of a paint covered artist smearing vivid hues on a canvas and then rushing to the nearest art gallery to sell their work. I didn’t know anything of the vast opportunities for artist or even how abundantly art is used throughout our society. Maybe

Art is a way for me to visualise my personal ideas and express myself in a way for others to interpret. I enjoy being able to create something from an idea, as well as exploring my individuality and by choosing this course I will be able to refine my skills to specialise in the areas I really enjoy. So why fine art and education together? I believe that using art within a classroom as a teaching method is a great way to actively involve pupils, and get everybody engaged with learning. I also see

colossal photographic portrait made from trash. Using garbage scavenged from Gramacho, one of the largest landfills in America, Muniz models trash into images of classical portraits with his own twist. “...I’m trying to step away from the realm of fine arts, I think it’s a very exclusive, very restrictive place to be... What I want to be able to do is to change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day”, Muniz stated in film Wasteland. The film Wasteland, directed by Lucy Walker

Art is the reason some people are alive. At least that is what we tell ourselves. Scientifically speaking there is no “purpose” to life besides reproduction and survival of the species. We live, we breed, we die. Charles Darwin, the man who founded, developed, and all-but proved the idea of evolution, stated that he believed the purpose of life was nothing more than seeing to its own survival. This is still believed by many people to be the case. Nevertheless, we, as a species, tend find things we

Bad Day by Daniel Poster has been a song that has influenced my life since I can remember. It is really the first song that i remember hearing from my child hood. Every time it came on the radio me and my mom blasted it. The song goes through the motion in a third person narrative of someone having a bad day. I remembered during my childhood when I was having a bad day I would blast this song and it would make me in a better mood. It really begin the foundation of music for me. This song spoke volumes

Art is all around the world and everywhere we go and has been since the beginning of time. Most of the early artworks was visual arts, such as paintings, sculptures, printmaking and many other things. The purpose of art is the creative way to express our emotions to empower or inspire people, or it could bring out different emotions within ourselves, depending on how you look at it. Many of the art pieces have a story to tell or it can express the state of mind and feeling of the artist when the

Art is a way for not only everyday people but also artists to show their feelings and their passions. People can be affected in many, and different ways, through art. Even though art can be interpreted in different ways it can still have valuable meanings to almost everyone in their own special ways. Throughout time art has followed the people closely. It has fed on, and even publicized the state in which society was in. This is not saying that art can’t differ from the theme of society, but more

is a work of art, and I will validate this statement by first proving that literature is art, and then that The Awakening is a work of literature in the truest sense of the term. Throughout the defense of my argument that The Awakening is art I will also explore themes relating to censorship in art, literature, and in the novel specifically. In categorizing literature as art, there first must be a clear definition for the term “art”. It is widely known that up until the 17th century art was defined

the SIUE art show, I was intrigued. I have only been to one other art exhibit in my life and it was in Washington D.C. I did not have as high of expectations for the SIUE show as I did for the one in D.C., but I do enjoy looking at art so I was excited. It was a slightly different experience than my D.C adventure, but still interesting. There was not as many people and it was quieter. I liked this setting better because I was able to focus more on understanding and interpreting the art. Going into
