Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art, cite fear as a factor as important to their process as a passion for truth, particularly fear of revealing the self. Pressfield goes on to state, “Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: The more scare we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it” (Pressfield 89). However, with contemporary establishments of art as product, personal components of…

The Art of Listening Reproduction of originals is a quality that exists in all facets of life. Much of what is created lacks originality, instead, it is a reproduction or reinterpretation of a previous original idea. In Jeff Turrentine essay Why Some Covers Disappoint, he attempts to dissect what makes a good cover song, seeking to find answers about why some ‘copies’ are less impressive than the original. Paul McCartney’s album of covers “Kisses on the Bottom” which Turrentine dismisses as a…

Paint has been in use from prehistoric times and has played an important role in decorative art over the centuries. Two of the oldest and most respected paints used by artists and craftsmen are tempera and oil paints.

The portfolio appears on the left side as a nondescript green square sitting on the chair that holds Marie-Anne’s coat. Through this placement, the couple visually link it to…

In an effort to reduce obscure individuals to a particular category some specific labels have been generally applied in the art world, whether for religious, territorial, ethnic, sexual or national. For an all-purpose rationale, these labels are not applied in order to single out, but are an effort to give an identity to the minorities who have long…

in a preventative services center with low-income families in a large northeast city is a constant challenge when it comes to providing the best art therapy for the clients. This clinical setting is primarily focused on affording free access to social services for families in need, and thus the funding for art therapy is minimal.

Sofia Coppola is a visually stylish filmmaker. A penchant for aesthetically pleasing fashion, photography, and art has largely contributed to her oeuvre. Beauty is self-conscious throughout her work with sensuality becoming an all-important part of the viewing process. The numerous pastels, fluid camerawork, and contemporary soundtracks have often been dubbed as the Coppola “Dreamscape.” On the surface, these “dreamscapes” are incredibly inviting. Viewers are forced to feel instead of watching…

and draws conclusions and lessons from it, which he shares with his audience. - And he certainly has amazing and impressive technical skills. If we add all this together, it makes perfect sense to qualify his work as art; ‘wearable art’. Also the fact that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York dedicated an exhibition to his work, attracting so many visitors who were simply stunned by his creations supports the view that his work exceeds craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen is merely a prime…

When I was eight, I started drawing this character, Heaven Gate. This character has been one of the greatest influences to my art work and why I pushed myself to become an artist. This was imaginary friend growing up. Heaven Gate (like the cult but unrelated) was a girl who was different, but was strong and beautiful. Basically everything that I wanted to be growing up.
