things that come to mind when fine arts are mentioned, but something that does not come to mind is that public schools have been taking fine arts for granted for far too long. If fine arts were removed from public schools, academic performance would worsen because of the affect fine arts have on students. Fine arts hold a whole other world for students, teachers, and parents in many different ways. However, fine arts are not thought of as a learning experience, fine arts are thought of as an…

Art is about creative expression, it serves as an outlet for emotions and opinions.

Artists present society with a plethora of viewpoints and subjects to think about and every artist has a different style. Art can be a variety of things from sculpture to painting to photography, but at what extent does art become offensive? One of the most controversial…

I believe every movement should have a song or artistic remembrance. And Josh white's music was the song for the ending of segregation movement. The music has its way of voicing what is happening around the world and impacting people's emotions and views. I mentioned that artwork doesn't have to over the top to be famous and historic because sometimes the simplest work can have a stronger meaning, On the website wie geht kunst, they have posted an interview with Mladen Dolar.

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…

Have you ever though about the music in the background while you’re watching a movie? How it gives the movie so much more life. I believe that music should be a part of the film industry only because it helps the film feel more interesting while watching it! The two industries will clash like anything else in life, but eventually will work its way through the bumps on the road. There are three important issues such as, flow, plagiarism, and inspiration. In my opinion, flow is the most…

‘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).…

The argument of “Fine Tuning of the Universe” is that the universe is way too complicated and laid out too perfect to sustain life to be without a designer. During the video they mentioned three different options; necessity, chance, and design. The video stated that necessity was not a viable answer to the fine tuning of the universe as it is possible to have a life prohibiting universe. Though the option was not fully explored and did not give a sound reason as to the nature of necessity. The…

than art, giving the art topic little to no money. Art and fine arts have started to become less of a value to some people. After analyzing different sources about STEM, funding in schools, and how a passion can lead someone into what they truly want to do, one can see that the fine arts are still relevant in American society today.…
