I would argue that while there is a distinction between sports such as basketball, baseball, and football and sports like figure skating, gymnastics and diving, the distinction has nothing to do with whether or not they are forms of art. The distinction simply comes down to how the winner is determined (Suits). Judges rather than a score determine the winners in what Best calls aesthetic sports. While many might agree that a triple axel in figure skating or a well performed floor routine…

In the Philadelphia Museum of Art there is a masterpiece titled No. 22 by Jackson Pollock, who is known for his unique style of drip painting. He was a pioneering, influential painter in the abstract expressionist movement (Seed). Art critics usually regard Pollock’s works as images of chaos, lacking a rigid structure and harmony (Chave 100).

Some artists were inspired to create genre paintings to enforce their significance in subjects from everyday life including figures, landscapes, and objects. These scenes of everyday life in America did not, however, include people of color. Thus, this segment of the population was being portrayed in an infelicitous angle due to the prejudices of the period, with biased…

After researching many careers, I found two completely opposite careers but they both involve my passions: interior designer and athletic trainer.

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.

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…
