It invites viewers to examine the film and call attention to the film’s factitious constructs. In other words, art in Third Cinema raises issues to…

At the age of 9 on the bus ride home from the art museum, one of my classmates screamed to the top of his lungs, “I DON’T GET IT,” though his cheeks reddened at the sight of everyone looking at him. He began to further explain, “I don’t get why they drew those pictures, or why we should care.” Ms. Gregory was baffled. We could tell she didn’t have a good enough answer for our classmate. When it finally came to her response, she could only say, “Art is a big part of why we are the way we are. It…

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,…

Expressive theory of art, while being able to include certain artwork and exclude non-artwork that was problematic for formalism, has difficulties of its own. That is, there seems to be something wrong with arguing that simply because an artist has not felt the emotions expressed in their work their creation is not art. This notion could discount many great creations. For example, suppose there was the most beautiful painting; formally it is perfect, the colours, shape and brush stroke is…

Art is a creative expression formed to provoke powerful reactions, discussion, emotion, understanding and/or confusion. It has no limitations in the messages or aesthetic that an artist can bring to the forefront. This creates a perfect space to speak about social or political issues. This is no different in Aboriginal Art. Pre-colonised Aboriginal peoples used art to symbolically tell stories and document scientific knowledge for tens of thousands of years. The artists traditionally used the…

Art is a genre that encompasses an infinite number of forms, each serving as an outlet for those that value creativity and expression in an aesthetic form. Elements or techniques found within art forms can be objective or universally recognized and valued through critiques pitting a piece against its peers across time and place.

discovered the arts. As a freshman in high school, I was shy and timid; I didn’t talk to many people outside of my friend group. Until I got involved with speech and theatre, I wasn’t myself when I was around people I didn’t know. I was involved in all art programs offered at Okoboji High School over my four years, eventually becoming the president of the Thespian Society my senior year. There were sports at my school as well, basketball and football getting the most funding. The art programs,…

French scholar and art critic Souren Melikian criticizes the concept of an all-encompassing notion of Islamic art, stating that a European equivalent wouldn’t exist in both the museum and academia (Melikian, 2004). Indeed it would be frowned upon to be a specialist in “Western art” ranging from Greek antiquity to Futurism, yet this case for an “Islamic art” specialist. It is perfectly acceptable to demand from a scholar in “Islamic art” to know about early Islamic Abbasid architecture, and late…
