The Importance Of Art On The Community

Decent Essays
Throughout this final review, I will be answering a variety of different questions in regards how art affects the rest of the community surrounding me and myself as well. The specific questions will be, how are the arts in your community supported by various agencies and citizens? Do you think there is enough or not enough support of the arts by these entities? Explain why or why not. What is your role in the creation and support of art in your community? How has what you learned in this class changed your views of the arts? At the end of this review, you will know a little bit more about how I feel about these topics and how I feel they pertain to the rest of the community as well. The first question I will be answering is, how are the arts in your community supported by various agencies and citizens? I believe that artists in our community are supported in a variety of different ways ranging from …show more content…
Well, throughout this class I have gained a new sense of appreciation for art. I honestly have zero artistic ability whatsoever and I think that is why I didn’t particularly enjoy it in the past. My masterpiece is a stick figure, so I guess I just didn’t understand what these people went through to accomplish these types feats. Today, I look at art completely different and like I said before I actually enjoyed going to the museum and I would most likely go again, especially since the top area was completely closed and blocked off when I was there. I actually enjoyed learning new material and I feel like because of this class I have a better sense of appreciation for art and I can actually see myself attending certain events, instead of scoffing at them and avoiding them at all cost. Artists have truly amazing talents and they deserve to be appreciated, so with that being said I will try to do a better job of that in the future and I have this class to thank for

    Elbert Hubbard once said “Art is not a thing; it is a way.” Art is all around us; from the floor we walk on, to the color of the walls around us, to the music we listen to on the radio. Many kids have taken on a lot of different forms that did not exist many years ago. Today, we fill our world with street art not exactly thought about to be art like mimes, circus acts, puppetry, mask theater, vaudeville, and storytelling through movement (Rapp 4). Art is an essential part of our society today and has been for many years.…

    I love how involved, free, and undefined sculpture can be. Before this class I felt a well done piece of sculpture was clearcut, realistic, and perfect. I’m glad that throughout this class my view has morphed into something much extensive. Life is not perfect so why do people try so hard to hide from the truth.…

    When we look at the world today, not all of us enjoy art, not many of us practice it, But no one is surprised when someone comes along from our friends or family who is deemed talented at art. This mindset, this overall acceptance than anyone can go out and learn how to do what they love. It’s a modern phenomena, full of aspiring graphic artists and cartoonists, painters and animators. We see more and more art classes each year, the world seems to want to learn how to do art, because having artistry as a hobby has become commonplace in these times. We owe a great part of this to one man, to one show, and to a thousand words of encouragement Bob Ross’s; The Joy of Painting has brought us.…

    I think that if I would have gone to the Art Institute before taking Art Appreciation, I would probably have had a completely different perspective on the art. I don 't think I would have paid that much attention to the style, texture, format, or size. Even though it’s only half way through the semester, I already feel that I have learned a lot about interpreting art…

    Today I love the History of Art, I stay with the old, the classic, that culture from Prehistory, I also also think it's really CULTURE. In the future today, there are many exits, you can do many master's, teacher, archeology, museology, restoration ... Today every day I think a different thing, although every time I am more passionate Egypt, I would love to dig in Egypt if I were an archeologist , it would be incredible, but I would have to me more intelligent and dedicated to even pursue this career. Anyway, I am delighted with the class, with the great amount of things you learn, with the culture that you take with you, because this course taught by our teacher is full of ancient arts mysteries.…

    I like how it talks about artistic production and teaching. Because having art in the schoolroom is an excellent idea. I like how the article pointed out the institutions in which art education exists: Art teacher education should continue to emphasize practices that are appropriate to the production and understanding of visual images and objects, while providing students with an understanding of the contexts of schooling that they are apt to encounter that are incompatible with their approach to teaching. Strategies for communicating with parents, colleagues, and administrators in order to advocate for progressive approaches to art teaching should be central to the undergraduate art education curriculum. At the school and district levels, art educators should find allies within their own field and related areas of the curriculum in order to actively build alliances and affect school policies and understandings of the range of pedagogies that are traditional and effective within the arts and across subject areas.…

    Each teacher had a different style and I felt moved by some of their art. There were paintings of the marshes, and students that they had taught. I saw mixed media art with different art forms called “The Book of Life” which really spoke to me as it was very colorful and full of life. I found this really cool, because like most people my age, I think of art as a painting made by an old guy about one hundred years back, but all of these paintings were modern, yet still considered art. I felt relieved to find something I could relate to considered art by an art center.…

    Identity Stages

    The act of growing up is difficult, and middle school is one of the hardest grade levels to make it through. There are so many changes that happen in this age group, such as a new school, multiple teachers, and school sponsored sports to name a few. All these changes happening around the same time lead to an identity crises of sorts. Kerlavage (1998) states, “All the rules for social behavior that developed in earlier stages are suddenly called into question as students, in transition between childhood and adulthood, attempt to establish their role in an adult world” (p. 57). They are changing from ‘little people’ who are told what to do and think, into adolescence who have their own opinions, who are unsure.…

    Without financial support for the arts, parents and students are left to struggle with the problem and left with either no arts program or an arts program that is subpar. Students are the losers academically and creatively, while often those same schools ' athletic programs flourish. A student who is not athletically inclined and is struggling academically, may be led to greater successes with just the right arts experience or class, but without it, may never reach their full potential. Arts education must again be given a high priority in our education system if we wish to provide our society with high-achieving and the best prepared…

    It was good to understand the different mediums and try to figure out what mediums the artists used in their artwork. Taking a closer look at the painting was very interesting and we learned that we do not need to know anything about art to enjoy looking at it and identify why we like the piece and why we do not like it. The staff at the museum described what students and adults learn when they come to visit and it is amazing because I did learn so much from my visit. Another thing that we learned was how the shapes in the art show artist emotions just like color does. Circles are said to be more playful and fun and triangles are more aggressive and dangerous.…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…

    Funding for Visual and Performing Arts will benefit a student in that it helps students learn new skills in areas that are needed for a healthy lifestyle. Academic achievement is enhanced with those who participate in art educated activities.
