The inherent “modern” characteristic of such a vitality was closely intertwined with everyday…

I took another trip to Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts to see the Senior Exhibit. I was quite impressed by the artworks that were displayed in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Gallery. As I walked around the West Gallery, there was an artwork that I kept going back to. I reckoned it was a sign. An art student named Congdi Wang used a single instrument, a ballpoint pen specifically, to draw Deer in Forest (Figure 1).

Some would possibly even say he is too passionate. Even at such a young age, he saw “life is to be enjoyed,” and “life is to work” as one and the same (Stone, 107). He puts this passion into his art, never caring about anything quite as much as when he’ll…

religious ideals was paralleled in the arts through the rejection of Romanticism because it did not show accuracy of the real, observable world. Konstantin Makovsky’s painting The Russian Bride’s Attire, is a decorative piece that depicts the revival of Russian folklore, but when inspected closely, displays a mixture of styles, expressive lighting, and postures that present a muted criticism of past Russian traditions. A student at the Russian Imperial Academy of Arts, Konstantin Makovsky was…

His imperfection makes him naive to the fact that his wife Guinevere and Sir Lancelot were having an affair behind his back. He is blind to the truth and is in denial about the affair. My passion is a positive thing until I start to disregard my family. I will accidentally hibernate in my room working on art or writing routine. I get so focused…

Today, many like Karen Armstrong, acknowledge the significant role art plays in a community. Throughout her essay, Homo Religiosus, she argues that art, much like religion, has the capability to allow one to temporarily forget and transcend their daily struggles, and rather focus on an ideal future. Maggie Nelson’s essay, Great to Watch, questions how society relates to the world and through what can we do so. Nelson opens her text with a discussion of Sister Helen Prejean, who proposes in her…
