In 1998, Scism became the new permanent CEO/President of the arts center. The management team of…

An important factor that I learned from both Hurst and 21st century art is that it doesn’t matter too much about what the artist is wanting to portray in their art. They are more focused on how their admirers will interpret their artwork. In regards to Hurts my interpretation of “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living” is that he wanted to show that we can physically maintain or understand death in daily life. For instance Hurst stored this shark in formaldehyde…

modern art as well as answer the question most commonly associated with modern pictures: “What does that represent?” Léger develops his claims on modern art and his response to what he considers a nonsensical question by comparing a work of art’s imitative capabilities with its realistic value, defining as best he can the concept of pictorial realism, and by providing a history on revolutions of art that allowed for modern art’s evolution. The themes Léger discusses pertaining to modern art are…

Are the Fine Arts Imperative for a Commendable Education? (An analyzation of the significance of the arts in edification) The preponderance of humans are convinced that art is a futile career choice. They believe that, because artists and writers do not earn as much money as engineers and professors do, it is not practical nor respectable for young people to pursue an occupation in the fine arts. Regrettably, this has induced a culture in which the arts and the humanities are seen as…

Joseph Minton once said, “True art captures emotions, feelings, and the energy of the object, setting or event that is being depicted. It goes far deeper than the cold, flat surface of duplication. True art has an entity of its own, it is alive, and has the ability to speak, effect, move, and convey emotions to its viewer. This is why I personally choose to paint in derivatives of expressionism.” Art is a form of expression. Art is a way in which society can express themselves and show their…

The Value of the Arts in Early Childhood Education The Arts in early childhood education are more than just providing a child with paints and crafts or something that is carried out to fill a gap in the day. Creativity is as important in education as literacy and it should be treated with the same status (Robinson, TED Talk, 2006). The Arts can have a strong role in developing creativity in children, which promotes the child’s overall development. Creativity can be expressed in many different…

all, I lacked someone who was there for me in a way that I needed one to be. Instead I turned to acting and art as an escape. I believe that they are both two very powerful “tools” that can help one build towards their true happiness. To be able to reach out to people and let them express themselves in a way that helped me very much is my dream. I want to become a creative arts therapist, specifically for children between the ages of five and fifteen. The reason why I chose the…

Exploring Weiwei’s and Jonnson art style, I have become aware that both these artists uses art as a deliberate means of communicating meaning. Weiwei’s uses arts as a method to voice his rebellious opinions even when heavy consequence are as a result, to me is admirable. His work ethic and ability to continually fight for his others and human rights is inspiring as he has never given up, and has used his own experiences to fight for what he believes in even more. They way that he creates each…

Wonderful Master of Art, Grant Wood's Grant Woods is an amazing artist which I failed to see before browsing through this book. Grant woods has a very elegant way of painting art. By making his art appear realistic his art is much more complex than you might think. Figuring out what artist to pick was extremely difficult. Once the painting of American Gothic came up I suddenly knew which artist I wanted to study. Covering every page of the book with beautiful and very austere his art makes…
