Degenerate art

Randy encourages parents to allow their children to paint on their bedroom walls. I agree with Randy because I find painting a way to express myself and I believe others may feel the same way. Painting on your walls is also a way to display your creativeness in a unique and beautiful way. Letting kids paint on their bedroom walls may be an outlet to express their emotions. If I were given permission to paint on my walls, I would paint a map of the entire world. I would mark all the places I have…

In this generation, movies are created for entertainment purposes. These movies are created to catch our eye and turn our heads. People create movies such as “Iron Man”, “Mission Impossible”, and “Jurassic Park” to make others ask, “what if this could happen?” Fortunately, there are few films out there that have a very deep meaning to others. To others, they are just more than movies. What they watch allows them to keep on believing and always work for their dreams. The film “Secretariat” has a…

Music is one of the most popular engines for self-expression today, most considerably amongst younger persons (Rentfrow et al., 2009). People wear shirts and hats embellished with their favorite band, decorate their homes with posters and records, and blast their favorite tunes with the windows down during the car ride home from work (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2007; Rentfrow et. al., 2009). Furthermore, the rise of social media in recent years has magnified both the scope and the means of which…

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…

Reconnaissance by artist Christine Hiebert is a shining example of simplistic minimalist art that seeks to demonstrate a wide narrative of meanings and ideas. By creating this piece Hiebert has managed to encompass expansive social paradigms reserved for the most socially attuned artists. Beginning with a formal examination of the piece brings the viewer to their initial inspection of the piece Reconnaissance. Featured in the Davis center of Wellesley College the piece is primarily constructed…

the history and importance of fine arts not just in America, but also around the world. Art has a whole new meaning to me, one of which opens my eyes to the every day sights of life. The definition of art is “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as a painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” Although that is the true definition of art, I truly feel that there is so…

9.Lights, Camera, Classification: A Categorization of Moviemakers One of the fondest memories for most people, whether they are children or adults, is going to a summer blockbuster with their family or friends. This is because most people can appreciate a good movie because it immerses them into a world that is different from their own, and allows them to forget about their life and focus on someone elses. Another great thing about movies is that there is one for everyone. There are so many…

Beauty by the Beholder: Have song lyrics developed to become a more creative art form than poetry? Art is subjective. Music and poetry are two of the most subjective art forms, as their beauty is based upon perspective and opinion. Both music and poetry have an extremely diverse collection of works, ranging from poor to excellent and everything in between. Although, compositionally, they are very different pieces, the song “Life is a Highway” by Rascal Flatts and the poem “Live Life to the…

from such fees, historians believe this is mostly due to his amazing skills and maybe a little to do with local common financial hardships of the people of that time. It was around this same time Johannes would meet a gentleman named Peiter van Ruijven, Mr. Ruijven would become a benefactor of Johannes and would come to buy most of the paintings Johannes would later come to paint. Johannes’ family would come to rely on the financial support of Peiter van Ruijven, his money would become very…

Museum Visual Analysis The artwork that I chose to write about was a piece that was at the Arlington Museum of Art. The artist and title to this piece are unknown. I chose this particular piece because it was one of the first pieces of art that drew my attention. The colors were so vivid, bright, and full of life. Though there is no mention to the artist I believe that he or she were creating this piece to bring some kind of joy or happiness, a sense of peace for one to just be able to empty the…
