The Portrait of a Lady by Marie-Guillemine Benoist is shown at the San Diego Museum of Art. The painting once attributed to Jacques-Louis David and Vigee-Lebrun. However, was recently attributed to Marie-Guillemine Benoist. Although little known today, she was one of a number of prominent women artists working in Paris in the late 18th century. She studied with David and Lebrun(San Diego, CA: San Diego Museum of Art, 2015), so it is reasonable that traits from three artists can be found in this…

As a result of my observation it became evident to me the use of the arts throughout all classrooms. Indeed, student artwork was noticeably displayed in all five classrooms. Also, from my observation I noticed that teachers encouraged children to look at the different colors to paint and create artistic drawings. In the preschool classroom I observed a previously completed assignment of student work where the use of color paper was use to make a home. But more importantly, students were asked to…

Art Programs: Giving More Than Receiving Art programs help people, but people are not helping arts programs stay in schools. Art programs are not getting as much funding as sport programs. When schools do not have enough money, they usually get rid of the art programs. People tend to think of sports as more important than the arts, even though art programs have many benefits.

What is art and what art is have been very controversial topics of discussion for centuries. Art is a very opinionated subject, and many people tend to share different views when it comes to art. To this day, we still do not have one solid, universally agreed upon definition of art. This makes it very hard to decide what is art, and what is not, considering we do not have a perfectly correct guideline to follow. Philosophers and artists have been sharing their beliefs on the argument of art for…

fund the arts programs in K-12, I’m not going to. That would be a lie. It is a simple, two-sided argument as to if we should or should not. While the argument of why we shouldn’t fund the arts have many valid, financial points, it will pay off in the long run to pay for such funding. Those who oppose this argument will say things such as the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) shouldn’t be supported for many reasons. Among these reasons, provided by The Heritage Foundation, include the arts…

of funding in the fine arts has greatly affected the cognitive skills that alumni posses, causing them to lose abilities on a creative and abstract level. Those who choose to immerse themselves in these liberal arts reap many benefits such as higher test…

Art is a creative expression formed to provoke powerful reactions, discussion, emotion, understanding and/or confusion. It has no limitations in the messages or aesthetic that an artist can bring to the forefront. This creates a perfect space to speak about social or political issues. This is no different in Aboriginal Art. Pre-colonised Aboriginal peoples used art to symbolically tell stories and document scientific knowledge for tens of thousands of years. The artists traditionally used the…

Fashion and art have been essential in my life, serving as a method to exhibit my emotions, thoughts, and desires. Ever since I entered the University of California, Los Angeles, I felt as if I could never find an environment that allowed me express my artistic abilities while still being an activist and agent of change for marginalized groups. I feel as if joining the Cultural Affairs Commission, and holding a position in the Hip-Hop Congress, will provide me a platform in which to I can fully…
