Memorial to James, First Earl Stanhope as Seen by a Novice Art is said to be in the eye of the beholder. That sentence forces the notion that anything can be considered art depending on the viewer’s belief as to what is artistic. Looking through most history books easily proves that with all the different forms art has taken throughout time. The trip to the Chrysler Museum makes the same point. Basking in the grand display of passion that many pieces radiated while they are displayed in the…

Art critic Clement Greenberg once said, “I don’t see art as having ever, in a real sense, affected the course of human affairs.” The sentiment here is that any “art” which has an impact on the world becomes propaganda or craft. However, the people who postulate this sentiment are the ones who use art for the crudest of purposes: the art market. It’s the same logic as saying that education has no purpose outside the world of work and consumption. When art becomes liberated from the demands of the…

The Colours of Heroes In the early weeks of March, in my Art Studies 1 class, we were asked to watch a movie entitled “Hero” and write a critical essay on the use of colours, its effect, and perceived meaning. The movie was well made and is different from others. The plot was simple with a twist and each scene was wonderfully made. The combination of the simple settings and vivid colours of the outfits of the characters complemented well and allowed the viewers to focus on the actors more.…

the surface. What should we get into, listen to, read, eat or watch? If there is something in our culture that needs attention that’s our job: Show you the underground things that you need to know about: Books, music, television, movies, comedians, art, and whatever else we can find to get you into something you never knew about. That’s…

two more of their art works that share similar characteristics with one another. Plensa and Dill both focus on human figures when building their sculptures and paintings as well. The colors and size in which these artists use can be compared to. Plensa and Dill’s sculptures can be compared by the looks and the messages that they portray. But on the other side of things,…

of the three lessons Jeanette learned from her mom was appretiatiance for the arts. Rose Mary did not care about parenting. She just specified on the arts. Rose Mary was a stay at home mom who had a teaching degree but instead of helping the family out financially especially when they were homeless she still valued finishing her paintings. When Jeanette burned herself cooking, Rose Mary was painting. The importance of art was deeply instilled in Rose Mary. That’s why Jeanette always felt Rose…

On the very top of the poster is the phrase “The Return of the Great Adventure,” which indicates that this movie is a part of a sequel. Typically, when another movie is made that is part of a sequel, many people are interested in them. The author probably chose to include this phrase on the poster to get the viewer’s attention and interest them. The title of this movie is “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” This title is written in multi colors. The main colors in this title include red, yellow, and…

October 2015 Do we need Art in Our Lives? Art comes from a relationship between an artist and audience. The greater part of us consider human expressions to incorporate the abstract expressions: fiction, imaginative stories about life, poetry, drama, dance, movie, theater and film, and the visual expressions. They incorporate painting, figure, blended media, and art. Most people have an appreciation for art. They enjoy observing it or creating it. There are many people who support art in some…

predominant factor instead communication is the main concern. Art is such a dexterous community, with countless of people from different backgrounds, ideals or beliefs, as a result, it doesn’t belong to only one culture alone and it becomes a form of communication that can reach multiple people regardless of the language boundary that has separated men throughout time and time again. In a sense, I am Alice in the Art world, as a discourse community art has established a part of what I am today…

edited images in his review of his student’s art. Today’s students only rely on one form of medium, the computer, to create their art. They do not learn how to use various instruments to create different forms of art, only seeing one perspective (Alcorn 18). Students should have the basic experience with multiple forms of art in order to find new, fresh ways to look at things. This technological development doesn’t allow for students to bond with their art. Instead of using a paintbrush or…
