Lots of schools are eliminating their art programs for other things. These programs can even help you focus more in class. All schools should fund their art programs. Many schools around the country are eliminating their funding for their art programs. Much of the funding is going to the new state tests being released. A large amount of the…

was omnipresent, like Augustus’ portraits. Under totalitarian rule, artists and designers hid truths and promoted ideologies in print. Their techniques were clever and persuasive. The Soviets used art to promote ideas of a new society and a new man. This propaganda was used to win over the intellectuals as well as the average man. Similar to Augustus, Stalin stressed himself as the leader. When Stalin came to power, he sent the region into full communism and demanded more industrialization.…

Hitler’s power. Media and arts were used to show people who the “bad guys” were and who to side with (“Donald Versus Hitler” 31). Artist’s used their art to express how they felt about politics by making fun of leaders they didn’t like, such as the infamous Adolf Hitler. They used propaganda and eventually their opinionated art works caused new art to form. Politics affecting art movements during and post World War II was very important because new art movements, such as popular art, came out of…

All art forms are important to a culture because the music, the sculptures, the paintings, etc., all help form and differentiate each culture from another. Therefore, I disagree with the statement that visual artists are more important to a culture than performing artists because they create permanent work of art because both works of art can cause people to reflect on their lives, can bring enjoyment, and both can allow people to experience and interpret the art in their own way. It shouldn’t…

forms of art.

Art and Architecture is what binds the world together through ideals and stories like the civilization that made parietal art, how the Great Pyramids were made, how Islamic art mixed with math, what happened with art in the ‘ dark ages’, and about how ancient art as…

Within the world of contemporary art, an issue that often presents itself is the issue of context. In many cases such as the one I will present in this essay, the idea of understanding and appreciating a piece of work is often quite difficult without the back-story. Not only does context place the work in time, but also allows us as viewers to further relate our own experiences to what the artist is trying to say. This process of obtaining context through research therefore allows for a deeper…

strong relationship with human life, and human life is an important theme in art. For this reason, artists love to use horses in artworks throughout history. Artists use horses as the subject to show the beauty of art; the beauty of horses and the scene of daily life in a specific time also can be shown through artworks.
