to Pablo Picasso’s “Art is a lie” artists reveal truth through lies in their artworks. I plan to prove that his assertion is correct by using the oil painting “The Broken Column”, a Mexican artwork created by artist Frida Kahlo, in 1944. It’s a modernism style painting, a style that developed around the twentieth century. Pablo Picasso’s view of art is a creative way to define how an artist reveals the truth of his/her paintings through lies . He also states that “Through art, we express our…

Art is a very broad topic. There are a lot of things that can be considered art. Everything from paintings to carpentry can be considered art. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines art as, “Something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.” Some people may not agree with this definition. There can be good art and bad art, but at the end of the day if it is an expression of somebody’s emotions or thoughts, it’s art, whether…

In his ode to the paintbrush, Góngora describes this tool as “nature’s valiant rival” (3), as it sets out to recreate it. He attributes various functions to the creation of the paintbrush—the painting: it fulfills a didactic role, serving as “the feet, the guide, / by which the world’s law bends” (23-24). Painting also establishes a dialogue between generations: “Through you, arranged by you, / the living converse with the dead;” (17-18). But perhaps one of the most important roles it fulfills,…

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.

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…

entering the RISD museum I was greeted by the quaint streets of the historic east-side of Providence. It's often an overlooked part of town due to the city life but really earns it's merit in beautifully restored colonial homes and colorful street art. The streets had tall green trees that bordered the sidewalk perfectly, and the light post were littered with local stickers either for a cause or promoting a local artist. Luckily, I was able to find parking rather easily because I went on an off…

March 2015 Final What is art? Well art is one its own kind. It can be whatever you want it to be. To me, there is more to art than fine sculptures and creative paintings. There are different forms of art and each style varies and changes a person’s perspective on its piece. True art speaks to a person whether it’s through music, poems, drawings or paintings, art can be used or painted as a form of communication or new language that speaks with transparency. Think of art as different genres of…
