video games were practically spat upon by those in “high-art” circles. Seen as mindless time killers, barely worth a mention, they were isolated from discussion for the better part of a quarter century. However, as years passed and technology evolved, the medium as a whole evolved with it. Development tools became more accessible to the masses, providing any person with an idea to tell a story that pushes the boundaries of the medium and of art itself. Despite these clear evolutions, there are…

to make a huge impact on the art world as well as to the people who are able to view his work. He works undercover, and is rarely seen. He is under the impression that the less that people know about him, the more they will concentrate on his art and what it is really trying to say to us as his viewers. He does not make art to make others happy, he makes art to make a statement to others. Banksy has had his images on the Louvre as well as the Metropolian Museum of Art, but not on the inside as…

one wants, and having absolute freedom in creating art pieces mean that no one or no authority can censor it. 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…

Loving. These were all made during 2001. Since the artwork does not have a name, its description helps to distinguish it from the many other pieces of works that is in the collection. There is no realistic subject, so it more of an abstract work of art made entirely out of shapes. The most prominent figures in the stained glass are spirals. To be exact, there are 3 spirals, 2 of which are considerably large, taking up most of the window, while the other…

The seating arraignments are set up in groups. This is not by my choice because I am using…

Museums over the course of history have taken their architectural design ideas from the adorned designs of religious temples and palaces. This has been a long-standing practice of museums borrowing architectural forms from monumental ceremonial structures of the past (Duncan, p. 242). Museums adopted the grand embellishments of temples to show the importance of what was inside.…

The advantages of conservation for Art objects and heritage not only offer an opportunity to understand the history of art, it takes any country to the world map if done with rigour and skill. Anshita Arora draws a thin line between the day-to-day conservation of Art Objects and lists some commendable works that are under process the world over. Why do all of us preserve movies in a DVD format, and also in a hard disk for a back-up? Or why do we pay that extra money to the photo studio for any…

The rural community-based might have a lower impact on a bigger scale but they deeply influence people that experience it.
