The arts

shows, and art to decorate our walls. Take away art, and life seems pretty boring; art makes life vivid. It is no secret that the K-12 arts programs has been declining for decades due to budget cuts and the reputation that core academics take priority. However, with this decline, kids of all ages have been missing out on crucial opportunities. Without the arts, kids may not have all of the tools they need to test their creativity and see all of the possibilities there are in the world. An arts…

through the doors of an art gallery, expecting to see something totally new, diverse and original, only to be disappointed by being surrounded with whiteness in every sense. This scenario speaks to the exclusionary nature that many people of color in the art world feel when they enter theses spaces. The notion of art has always been seen from the perspective of a certain particular group of individuals, who throughout centuries have sought to affirm whiteness in art and art history as the only…

San Jose CA, there is a cultural event known as the “South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk” that I have been interested on for some time, although, have never been able to attended.

schools offer arts programs, such as theatre and music, since 2000. Art improves students’ behavior as well as students’ math and reading skills. The No Child Left Behind Act mandates that the arts as a core subject. Students who study art are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement than students who do not study art. In public schools, art is needed for students who do not have much access to art programs. Art is a global activity included by a host of disciplines. Art…

I believe that art should be presented in school, because it is not something people think that it still exists, for example I believe that if I were to show the creations of art, music,dance, sporting actitivty, or even literature it is important because these topics are something people don’t really pay attention to. I feel like this is not as much demanding in schools as lt was before when I was in elementary school. I have a sister who is in elementary school now, and she has her assignments…

Art is a diverse concept known throughout the entire world. It causes much controversy over the subject matter and what makes it considered art. Art can be very simple but also at times can be very complex, it can last a lifetime or even just a day. It can be a physical object or painting or it can be performance based. Artists are full of imagination, emotion, creativity, and most of all passion. Passion is what drives the artist to create the work and propel it forward into success. In this…

The way schools see the benefits of using art therapy, far more than just as a form of expression is of how different forms of art works with different students. By being exposed to any form of art, the student learns to be curious and perceptive, by merging these two components together to creating art, the student learns to reason, and as they continue and effectively create art pieces they’ll be able to develop their power of imagination, intuition and confidence, ultimately forming students’…

next weekend, the Cincinnati Art Museum will be giving a totally new meaning to the phrase “living art.” More than 60 florists will be contributing to “Art in Bloom,” which is a four day event that occurs every two years. The florists will be in charge of making floral arrangements that reflect the great works of art from the museum’s collection. Also, the floral arrangements will be displayed next to the original pieces to take the exhibition to a comparison of art works. The selected flowers…
