Visual Arts? Visual? Arts? art that is visual, isn't all art visual? what does that even mean? This is what my year 4 self was thinking when I asked my Year 7 sister what classes she was going to drop and why, she said she would drop visual arts due to heavy work load. I remember I wanted to follow in her footsteps so I swore to myself that as soon as I could drop the subject I would as well. Flash forward a few years and here I am.

Censorship and the Visual Arts Censorship is always the party of the arts market. Today, censorship is a remnant of the past that has almost ceased to exist. But it is very necessary, to form the necessary views among the population, and it is necessary to control art so that it does not go beyond the bounds of decency. The censorship is arbitrary limitation (which does not fit any logic, the result of free choice) and often political or religious freedom of expression. Newspapers, drawings, plays

the severity of my anxiety attacks, I have always refused to take medication to control my worrying. Thankfully, in eighth grade, I discovered visual art. Drawing has always provided me with a mental paradise. When I create art, I can control what happens to my piece, which helps alleviate my issues with lacking control over most situations. As a child, art eased my concerns that I was the “weird kid” as I was the only one out of my family and my small charter school that suffered from severe anxiety

The ancient Greeks had a belief that those who created, such as a craftsman, should be shown little respect or appreciation. The importance was placed on music and the affluent did not participate in the visual arts. Even though there was resistance, Plato was a visual arts advocate and the Greek’s granted visual arts its own curriculum. The Romans maintained this position on the visual arts. However

Welcome, to my traveler’s guide to the performing and visual arts. In this guide, you will explore first hand, the visual and performance arts of Europe. First, we will look at performance arts of Europe which, date back to early 534 B.C. when Thespis won the first public contest for tragic poets in Greece.

One may wonder how much did The Information Age really contribute to society and, more specifically, the visual arts, technology, and philosophy. The Information Age, as defined by Gloria K.

The Information Age paved the way for several brilliant artists to not only share their work, but create their work. Artists, such as Andy Warhol, expressed their artistic abilities

Visual Art Critique For my visual art critique, I attend the Texas State University Wittliff Collections on Tuesday, October tenth. During my visit I viewed works of art from the Lonesome Dove collection. The first piece of work I critiques was the photograph “Crossing the Rio Grande” taken by Bill Wittliff.
