In this essay, I will explore what accounting and finance is and why I have chosen to study it at the University of Birmingham. Accounting and finance are two separate disciplines that have some similar characteristics.

In this discussion, I will be debating the age-old question of the academic fine arts societies: what is art? I will also go a step further and ask, what is music? To begin to answer these questions, we must go to the source of art and music: God. When we observe creation, we also begin to learn about our likeness to His image not just physically, but cognitively in our desire and ability to compose. I will then discuss why art exists, and how a work of art can be classified as such. As evidence…

A fine art, as suggested by the name is the purest form of art. It’s an expression of oneself presented in term of aesthetics and design principles. It can refer to anything made by someone considered an artist, yet the definition of an artist has evolved over time and varies based on context.

What is Art History? According to many dictionaries, Art history is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts, i.e. genre, design, format, and style.

titled, “Making an Art of Creativity: The Cognitive Science of Duchamp and Dada”1, Prager specifically wants to assure people that Duchamp's piece Fountain should in fact be considered art. He states that, “Dada's redefinition of art in terms of creativity is perhaps most poignant in Duchamp's readymades found objects that he allegedly transformed into works of art merely by signing and placing them within an art context”(4). He goes on to say that any of the judgements of the piece or reactions…
