    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.…

    To begin, Casa de Amparo is an amazing care system that truly cares about the wellbeing of the children and preventing teen parents from falling into a vicious violent cycle. As I entered Casa de Amparo, I was welcomed by a smile from an assistant and transferred to a conference room where I met with other students and Jane McGuire. For weeks, I had been wanting to tour the site and volunteer as three youth from the site visited my class to learn about college life. The youth were all high school students with impoverish upbringings who had been transferred to Casa de Amparo from the foster care system. Additionally, the students had been invited by Dr. Juan Santos to tour the campus and question students on the resources available on campus, the environment, and what it was like to try to obtain a higher education.…

    If you were to look in my room you’ll probably see a mess clothes all over the floor, papers on my bed, and tennis balls on my desk, you could say that I’m not the most organized person in the world. But upon looking at all that mess, there is a picture hanging on just one nail, collecting dust as if it was some kind of ancient artifact. As I look at it every morning before heading off to school I am instantly reminded of a trip that I now use to define who I am: commitment, compassion, and courage. This was the photo of my trip in Leon, Nicaragua.…

One of such gifts is art which might include painting, designing outfits and body makeup.

Only those who are strong enough to fight for what they like despite the pressure from the parents to concentrate on school work who discover themselves.…

    High quality art programs are an essential and important aspect in providing rich opportunities for young children to engage and learn. Research suggests art has significant benefits to children’s overall development including the development of creativity, expression, problem-solving, critical reflection and communication (Tutchell, 2014). Additionally, Griffiths (2018) recognises the involvement of creative engagement through drawing, music and language in child development. Thus, it is important to recognise each child as an artist who is creative and competent. This can be achieved through children manipulating various materials to communicate their feelings, ideas and understandings of the world (Tutchell, 2014; Wright, 2012).…

    The Stunt Pilot Analysis

    The traditional view of art has changed over time just as most things have. Naturally, the act of perception has differed opinions on what society considers as art. Dance, paintings, photography, drawings, music, literature, and sculpting, are what comes to mind when contemplating the aspects of art. The limitation to defining a word so opinionated leaves out room for self-expression. The traditional ideas of what is considered art should be broadened; granted, although not tangible, art can be seen through ambitions, emotions, and expression through appearances when not limited to the customary definition.…

    To benefit the students should be the number one priority of educators and throughout this budget cut crisis it has shown that it is not. The budget cuts aren’t the only crisis we have in the country. The crisis is our educators, who need to be informed on these benefits of art programs in schools, and students and parents need to take a stand against the distasteful education cutting occurring in schools and petition to have money allocated equally across programs to create an equality for all programs. With students and parents willfully fighting against educators, and educators becoming informed, they should opt to disperse funds equally among programs to keep the creativity and individuality alive in…

    A Puerto Rican Experience

    • 791 Words

    One foot rooted in urban Puerto Rican heritage and the other having been later immersed in the Southern black experience as an adult, I have learned to merge the conceivably disparate cultures of my family. Each afforded me a unique point of view, developing the self-assurance that has empowered me to succeed in the face of adversity. Being of Puerto Rican descent in the inner city kept the lack of financial stability of my youth in view and motivated me to pursue my education. As a black American female I learned the value of diversity, having experienced first-hand the misconceptions that can shape in a homogeneous environment. For instance from being called “too much of a free-spirited city girl,” in the country to later being “too old-fashioned…

Starting with its location in the heart of the city of San Jose and across the street from the Founding Fathers Monument, to the design of the gallery and the colors inside made the art pieces stand-out in an environment full of Latino flavor and…
