Fine art

There is a difference between copying and remixing someone’s work. Now copying is taking someone’s work exactly and saying it is theirs. Kirby Ferguson once said, “Our creativity comes from without, not from within. We are not self-made. We are dependent on one another. Admitting this to ourselves is not an embrace of mediocrity, or derivativeness. It is liberation from our misconceptions. And it is an incentive to not expect so much from ourselves, and to simply begin." While copying is an…

draw from other sources. Second, I believe there is a conflicting values debate in the world of film music. Those that view film music as primarily a work of art in itself would probably be less willing to plagiarize, because originality is typically valued by artists. On the other hand, those who view film music as only (or mostly) an art in relation to the film it was written for - that is, film music's primary purpose is to enhance the film - would probably be more willing to plagiarize,…

‘The Privates’ Will Literally Melt Your Face Off Adam New Featuring some killer rock tracks, ‘The Privates’ mixes music, comedy, and science fiction in a delightful blend. Films about musicians have potential for being very enjoyable. The plights of struggling artists, paired with some catchy tunes, can make for great cinematic experiences. They can be hilarious like ‘This is Spinal Tap’ or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, or thoughtful like Crazy Heart or Inside Llewyn Davis. Either way,…

If I had to describe film, I’d call it a nonverbal medium that is used to tell a story and provoke emotion within us. Though the story of a movie isn't just exclusive to it’s plot; movies reflects the time when it was made and the social norms and gender roles that were normal at the time. Rather than being offended by the gender roles or political incorrectness of movies in a different era we should use is it as perspective. Hollywood isn't as it’s portrayed even the legends of the industry…

While religion and film are concepts that most believe to be separate I would instead argue that cinematography itself is a form of religion, fulfilling the role of worldmaking and establishing a code of conduct. Brent Plate’s book Religion and Film demonstrates the similarity between film and religion when explaining that “Religion and film are akin. They both function by recreating the known world and then presenting that alternative version of the world to their viewers/worshippers” (2).…

Judges stated the statement because personal skill is essential for painting. Samuelson explains that,"The services of lawyers, doctors, dentists, artists, and performers are considered too personal to be delegated. There is no single test that will perfectly define this group, but generally when the work will test the character, skill, discretion, and good faith of the obligor, she may not delegate her job." (Samuelson, 348) It is about substantial interest in personal performance of delegation…

In visual Artwork an important component is the usage of colors. Color usage in visual art can either portray meaning in a piece, provide an emotion from the piece, display the piece’s subject in particular detail, allow for strategy in the pattern on how someone may look at the piece, provide an interesting perspective of the subject, and as well certain colors may just be used because the artist does not have access to other colors in their medium on or available to them or for that medium.…

Reading Assignment #1 The Human Phenomenon & the language of Art and Architecture When I read this first chapter of my arts and culture book I realized how fascinating and important art is. Art is in everything we do whether we know it or not. It’s in every object we contain and building/structure we have ever seen. It’s also different in every culture and it a good way to communicate feelings, culture, and customs to others. An example of this I found when reading was on page 16. It was Tim…

Picasso, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” This serves as a great reminder for me, as an artist, for why I create art and dedicate my life to it. I find this metaphor to be a powerful and unique way to describe the effects that art has on people. This metaphor exemplifies the artist’s role in the world. It shows how art can positively impact the world and why it is important in our society. Picasso’s metaphor compares dust to the struggles of everyday life, and art to a…

On September 17, 2016, I woke up around 9 A.M. expecting to go to The Mexican Fine Arts Museum. While riding the train, the intercom came on and said “Cermak China Town is up next.” I turned to my friends and asked if we could go there instead because I have never been there and its a great opportunity. I have been wanting to visit Chinatown ever since I moved into the dorms because there is not one in Indiana and I wanted to gain more knowledge on their cultural background. Once we got off the…
