    My many attempts to introduce my family and friends to the visual art world and the significant contribution that African-American artist have made in helping develop the American art scene has been like speaking a foreign language. Suggesting they read articles about visual artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Jean-Michel Basquiat usually provokes the same response, that is an inability to process are understand the information.

    Using Schumann’s translation and interpretation of Eckhart’s philosophy of existence and being, one can connect these to moments in life that constitute what he calls “operative identity”, characterized by actions that are without motive that reveal who we are and that we are existent beings, while also suggesting that God is a necessary being. One example from my own life would be the creation of artworks throughout my life. Although beginning with the motive of a grade in high school, the action of art became a much more important event in my life that did not require any reasons or motives. This is portrayed in the connection between Schurmann’s terms combustion, releasement, and living with or beyond a why.…

    In the article, Tepper and Lindemann compare art degrees to other degrees based on employment, income and happiness. The article uses art degrees to suggest that although they may not make a lot of money, they are creative, flexible, and problem-solvers, which are one, qualities most jobs in America require and two, it allows them to be more intrinsically motivated. Although, most people they in there study said being creative is important, more people ranked being well off financially was more important to them.
