1) Mustapha Mond is saying that art can only exist if it has no meaning. Because of this, beautiful works of art have to be censored because people would not understand them. In other words, art has to be dumbed down for society. Mustapha is also trying to point out that the raw emotions expressed in art would lead to social instability, which goes against the World State’s motto of “Community, Identity, and Stability.” However, creating high art is not possible without adding elements of…

The colors and size in which these artists use can be compared to. Plensa and Dill’s sculptures can be compared by the looks and the messages that they portray. But on the other side of things,…

two-dimensional surface? Prior to the 20th Century, art styles such as realism and romanticism were most popular in the world of art, these traditional and academic art forms were seen as the highest and most desirable form of art; the result of great skill and control.

There are many exhibitions being shown at the SCAD Museum of Art. Two that caught my eye were "Considered” and “Blood Bound.” In the work of “Considered,” artist Carrie Mae Weems conveys a range of her work that is confrontationally different and but associated with the focus on the consideration of history. In “Blood Bound,” two brothers Steven and William Ladd worked together on their first all-inclusive look into their shared studio practice. In Carrie Mae Weems work tackles its…

Art is a notoriously ambiguous subject and name. In society today, the word art immediately brings to mind the intricate and time-intensive works of the Old Masters’ paintings and sculptures. But there is another face of art that I believe is becoming more and more obvious. The face that is a single large orange dot on a canvas. The face that is the holy cross submerged in urine (Serrano, Andreas. Piss Christ. 1987. Stux Gallery, New York.) All this is acclaimed as art by art critics, collectors…

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…

Usually, authorities such as the government tend to censor art pieces at which they deem unfit and unsuitable for the public audience. The act of censoring is unfair for the artists, as it may mean that they do not have the freedom of expression through art, defeating the purpose of the artwork due to the removal of the main items of the art piece. Some artworks may even be censored…

The Medici family was very influential in the art world due to their creation of the Platonic Academy of philosophy. Many artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo, were apart of the Platonic Academy of philosophy. This academy not only funded many artists, but it also gave birth to the beliefs of Neoplatonists.
