diversity and the art world would be synonymous with each other, hand in hand. But just like the many jobs and situations in American and across the world, inequality between the sexes and the races is still prevalent in…

Is art really global? The art world often prides itself with its “globalism”, but how global is it? Chin-Tao Wu who is an assistant research fellow at the Academia Sinica in Taiwan raises these questions in her journal”Biennials without borders?” .Wu raises two important questions. Where were the artists born? And, where are they currently living? The relation between the two tell us where the flow is. Wu constructed her data on the Kassel documenta exhibitions that were held between 1968 and…

The art museum that I was able to visit is called the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. This is a fairly small museum. It exhibited a peaceful ambiance. The arts it included were mostly paintings. Overall, I was not impressed with the museum. The museum displayed artists with a lot of bright colors that really jumped out at you. I personally prefer classical art over contemporary art. I feel that classical art has more of a calming feel to it. I also really like art from the Hellenistic…

Throughout the existence of art, artists have portrayed their feelings through their art by creating a theme for the piece. Art has been around for ages, therefore many pieces of art, regardless of their medium, can share a theme. The pieces chosen for this project are First Abstract Watercolor by Wassily Kandinsky, “Yes You Can” by Donnie McClurkin, “Climb ‘Til Your Dreams Come True” by Helen Steiner Rice, and The Secret Life of an American Teenager. All four of these pieces of art share the…

Art is such a good way to influence people in a community in a positive way, and that is really what I want to do. I’ve been influenced so much by other artists that I hope even if I am not ever a source of inspiration, I can at least get my voice out there. I know I have more of an opportunity as an artist to get my voice heard, than I would if I were not, especially as a female. In the art classes I’ve taken so far, there has been a lot of emphasis on the product and outcome of a piece, and…

This image is a manuscript painting, a painting that entails exceptional details of a…

New Orleans, LA. and Memphis, TN. are two cities that have more in common than just sharing a border along the Mississippi River. Both are responsible for birthing a music legacy that has defined American Music, not to mention bragging rights for a culture rich in food and southern folklore, owing to a tourism industry which keeps the local economy afloat. Unfortunately, they often unintentionally compete with each other in having one of the highest poverty rates in the country. As a result,…

To Take a journey in art is to follow a path that is never-ending; you will never know all there is to learn and discover. Artistic expression is constantly evolving and developing with each passing day. To be a successful artist, I believe that one must evolve and be on a continuous journey—a journey that is defined by education and skill. My interest in creating art came at an early age. I use to draw in the dirt and hand build sculptures out of the mud. Nature was my canvas and my medium. I…

you split the percentage of money between these topics, including the arts. Many would suggest that the four pervious topic were way more important than art, giving the art topic little to no money. Art and fine arts have started to become less of a value to some people. After analyzing different sources about STEM, funding in schools, and how a passion can lead someone into what they truly want to do, one can see that the fine arts are still relevant in American society today.…

Art can be found all around the world in every period. Art is a universal concept in which new art forms constantly are created and brought to life. Up until the 1970s, art was attributed to an individual’s production rather than a social production, which is why sociologists would avoid studying art altogether; it was seen as something that had no social aspect. Before the 1970s, art was only placed on the realm of a sole individual which meant that if we saw a piece of art than that work of…
