Art genres

Music is defined as "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds to produce beauty of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, and expressive content." But music isn't really a science, we can all create music. What one person perceives to be beautiful in the terms of music, may be seen as screeching Devil’s music to others. Music is more than a science or art; it is expression, and it is soul. Any man or woman with a tone deaf partner knows how crazy someone can sound while singing. Yet…

favorite movies and arranged each movie with six poetic elements. The six poetic elements are plot, character, idea, dialogue, spectacle, and music. As I was rearranging the six categories with my four movies, I realized several similarities to the genres of movies with the poetic elements. To give an example, Spider-Man (2002) is a character-driven movie. The movie expands on the main character’s personal development as a superhero. Throughout the movie Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) starts to…

understand what legitimizes art in a modern culture and how social status comes into play within this community, this discourse will attempt to present a collection of theories and ideas from various sources creating a multifaceted view on the subject. With particular reference to Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of social capital (Fensham, 2002) and the work of artist Grayson Perry (“Grayson Perry”, 2014), I will attempt to make an informed and reflexive analysis of what ‘legitimate’ art is, why and…

Andrea Zittel works from the self-proclaimed “Institute for Investigative Living” in Joshua Tree, CA. Her work draws upon the performance of a prophet proclaiming a better way of living, the art/craft fusion of the Bauhaus, and the humility of a desert hermit. Her property, A-Z West, is a fifty acre site in the California high desert and is an “enterprise that encompasses all aspects of day to day living. Home furniture, clothing, food all become the sites of investigation in an ongoing endeavor…

exhibitions represent and how do they do so? Exhibitions are put into museums that differ by age, target audiences, content, national and regional orientations and just simply by ambition. The type or genre of a museum might be the significant difference that divides through all of the other variables: art museums, cultural history museums, and natural history museums have different explanations for their motives and completely different conceptions of how to use and present having different…

Evaluate the claim that what constitutes ‘art’ is highly dependant on social and cultural context. In a world where one can roll out of bed leaving a disarray of sheets and strewn tissues and call it art (Emin 1998), we could be forgiven for believing that the former famous greats of the art world such as Van Gogh and Da Vinci might well be turning in their graves at the preposterous levels at which art can be declared within our contemporary society. This begs the debate of what is it that we…

Hardcore music is an extremely broad genre but can be broken down into four main subgenres: punk, emo, screamo and heavy metal. Often these hardcore people get judged for being out of control or violent and are thought to be unfriendly or harsh to others who are not like them. However, this is not the case. People who have these tattoos and piercings are almost always the friendliest and most accepting and could care less if you have just as much body art as they do and have dyed your hair four…

Introduction:More and more digital and interactive art installations have been accommodated by various museums and venues recently. In the past, people usually appreciated static public installations and architecture, but now they have more opportunities to experience and even create public art works through computer based technology. As the development and application of technology, more artists engage in making interactive art works and also more interactive installations gradually…

Art has always existed in humanity. Since prehistoric times, primitive humans painted messages on the insides of caves. We hummed and used miscellaneous tools to serve the purpose of modern instruments. Because we have always had emotions, we always created art. A desire to create is born in us. Art appeals to all of our senses, which is why humans are so drawn to music, murals, dance, literature, and so on. Most importantly, art can change or create emotions in us based on what we hear, see,…

Johnny Lee 9-10-16 Period 3 Museum Project I chose LACMA, or the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, for my museum. It is located on Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036.
