The students did they're homework
Trump, born and raised in Queens, had long dreamed of moving his family's outer borough real estate company to Manhattan. And nothing would signal his rise to prominence more than putting his name on a soaring building on Fifth Avenue.

In "Art of the Deal," the businessman-turned-politician's 1987 book, Trump writes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art asked him if he would donate the sculptures in 1979, shortly before he was about to demolish the Bonwit

    In the article “Art as Spoils of War” I read about how artwork has been stolen from museums in the past. Although museums are wonderful places for artwork, there are some pros and cons about these particular places. Artwork shown in a museum can be very interesting for people that love artwork and history, there they can learn about the artwork, study it, research it, and inspire a person to go further with their research and studies, but as a person can enjoy the art this way another can be thinking that it is a good way to get some extra cash, attention, etc. Museums can not only attract good attention they can also attract some unwanted attention, but does this kind of attention only occur in museums?

    The Great Depression was one of the most dreadful era in American history. The nation’s downfall, caused by a series of economic catastrophes and environmental misfortunes, resulted severe nationwide poverty and unemployment. Fortunately, President Delano Roosevelt (1933-1945) introduced the New Deal and established relief agencies to alleviate the disasters the country was facing. One of the largest relief program in the New Deal was the Works Progress Administration (WPA) which generated the New Deal art project, the Federal Art Project (F.A.P). The Federal Art Project is one of the New Deal program that prevailed in forty-eight states and created numerous community art centers, lead art programs, and held art exhibitions that included both…

    Art has played an important role in human culture for ages; even before the term “art” exists. In the essay “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean questions about the universal definition of “art”, and examines “the consequences of identifying art in societies where such a concept did or does not exist” (p. 26). As the title of the article suggests, the term “art” provokes many discussions and questions. Although we have known the term “art” probably since we are in kindergarten, many of us neglect the profoundness of this simple term. Dean starts off by pointing out that “art” is an ambiguous term because of the differences in people’s aesthetic.…

    In her 2006 article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art”, Carolyn Dean argues that the using the word “art” for both past visual expressions (particularly nonwestern) does not quite capture the true definition of what these pieces are. This argument is valid, to consider these works as mere entertainment erases a culture’s true history and identity. Dean has a very strong argument for the analysis and retirement of the term “art”, however the ideas surrounding the concept of “art” explain the larger issue as a whole. Carolyn Dean argues that pinning the recent idea of “art” on nonwestern works does not inform one about the culture, but rather condenses that culture into easily defined novelties.…

    Trump is everywhere. By simply tuning into the evening news, it is hard to miss all of the coverage surrounding Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The media is filled with stories of the crazy thing he just said, who he attacked in the latest debate, or even the satires of him all over TV and the internet. However, the media rarely shows why Trump could be an outstanding president. Although he may not be a conventional candidate and lacks a strong backing from the GOP, Trump rivals any of the other candidate with his strong stances on a variety of national issues.…

    It is well known that Western culture and the Western world has endeavored to assert itself over other cultures for many centuries. Beginning with the colonization of groups of people deemed lesser by the standards of white Europeans, who often forced their customs or religion on people they had colonized, Western civilizations continue to push their cultural standards on other parts of the world, especially when it pertains to art. In the essay, “The Trouble with the Term Art”, Carolyn Dean raises questions about the overwhelming western standard of art, and how different cultures have different views of aesthetic beauty. The central argument of Dean’s essay is that the normal definition of art has been skewed to only include the values of Western society.…

    The definition of value differs by circumstances, feelings, or experiences. Perhaps someone thinks that community is valuable, and perhaps another suggests that family is valuable because people’s preference can characterize in various ways. Although Malcolm Gladwell’s “Marita’s Bargain” depicts that Marita focuses on education rather than her life, “A Walk to the Jetty” by Jamaica Kincaid illustrates that Annie’s family and her own memories are essential to her. In spite of the differences, both stories portray the scenes that main characters sacrifice each of their own willingness. Thus, based on the two stories, individual’s value decides whether they are required to make sacrifices in order to achieve success.…

    Admittedly, the residents willingly give up the artworks in return for new roofs (Burns, 2016) and the campaign is ultimately a heist for good. However, WiL took the pieces without the consent of JR or the women featured in the artworks (Rayner, 2015), breaking the unspoken rule to “always ask for the donation” (Burns, 2016). Frank Cartagena, creative director at Deutsch NY told The Huffington Post that WiL and Deutsch NY “reached out to JR twice about the campaign, but he declined to participate” (Goldberg, 2015). The artist JR came forward in an email interview with The Guardian and questioned the authenticity of the pieces WiL auctioned, saying that he,“couldn’t recognise the pieces... [he] realised that it wasn’t the photo [he] took but it’s the continuity of the work [he] did in Kiber in 2009....…
