poetry. My fascination with poetry has also leaded me to choose an EPQ title of ‘Organise a poetry slam’. I have recently become intrigued by spoken word poetry, it excited me how recent of a medium it is and how much impact it has already had. Like any art form, poetry has transformed to respond to the world at large. The emergence of spoken word poetry is extremely exciting; by choosing to do such an EPQ it promotes literature, specifically poetry to people who aren’t keen on traditional…

greatness in creating and sublimity in consuming remains as the spirit in every civilization for an aesthetic end. Even in its presence and even in its absence aesthetic realm can be considered the core aspect to delve into in all the creative works. An art is in itself a phantom of a spirit in an effort to affirm. Sometimes to forbear and sometimes to fore last, the outer and inner stimulus…

literature, and many more. As these many unique works have been recorded, they have been able to have great impacts on those who have been privileged to witness it. Meher Baba, an Indian mystic, once taught that, “Art is one of the sources through which the soul expresses itself and inspires others.” Art throughout history has defined cultures, helped us understand people and emotions; it has allowed us to see humanity through our own eyes and they eyes of others. However, there is a major…

Artist Edgar Degas defined art as being: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” (Le French 1). In other words, any artist can create something and call it a “piece of art,” but it does not represent any significance if no one can become inspired by it or see the purpose behind it. However, what then would be considered “art” and how would you describe it? A common answer to people is that there is no one particular meaning or that the imagination is endless. Though, true, I…

Carpenter’s article “The Fundamental Patterns of Knowing” backs this up, she claims there are four fundamental components to knowledge. This includes nursing science, nursing art, personal knowledge, and ethics or nursing. Two of these components should be a standard between all nurses, the science and ethics or nursing. But the art of…

When I was in my sophomore year of high school, my art teacher Mrs. Samally opened my eyes to many different types of art forms throughout the world. One form of art that particularly caught my eye, was the art of 3-D chalk drawings on street canvasses. The way that these artists can portray depth and realism in their art work just baffles me.

For us, however, this zero was the turning point. When we…

Many events and readings later, I find myself with more insight in the arts. I have much more appreciation for all of the various arts, specifically ballet, opera, and the orchestra. Prior to this semester, I always held a biased disinterest in these types of performances due to the fact that I didn 't feel the need to…
