fashion. Benjamin’s views of the transformation of art are that it has a significant effect of the change in economic structure. When briefly taking a look how technology has changed society, many would say that it had made our lives exceptionally easier. This being said, it has also come with a profound cost. Walter Benjamin in his essay “The Work of Art in Mechanical Reproduction” discusses photography’s impact on our cultural perceptions of art. He argues that photography lacks essential…

museum. From time immemorial, humans have created visual images and these images carry meaning based on their context of creation. Art is appreciated from its shape and content base on the creator of the image, background and motive. The images at the museum have a complete new form of communicating on socio-political issues that have taken before and relate them to our current world. Drawing and paintings make another form of imagery. We use art as a form of communication between humans, as a…

My visit to the Tampa Museum of Art took place on the 4th of February 2017. The Tampa Museum of Art is located at the heart of downtown Tampa and is home to some of the most widely acclaimed creative works of art in the United States. I had never been to a museum prior to my visit. My visit to the Tampa museum was very informative and a rare occasion to learn about the beauty of art. I was pretty anxious from the beginning because I didn’t know where to start, but after speaking with a security…

portrayed, an art form as been detected. Because art is a form of communication between individuals, art leads to progression, a chance for society to evolve over time. As each era moves forward, greater understanding of life develops. Religion is a clear example of this, as religious insight has been present since the beginning of time. Due to this, in Tolstoy’s opinion, it is wise for art to be derived on the basis of religion. This art holds a certain value above the rest, while art…

matter, and artistic intentions was the fact art relies entirely on the visual sense and oftentimes lacks any inherent, overt explanation. While this concept isn’t difficult to grasp or a necessarily mind-boggling revelation, the room allowed for the viewer’s interpretation is endless. I believe the content and interpretation one can gather from Egon Schiele’s painting “Edith Schiele Seated” expresses this sentiment beautifully. I value subtlety in art. While symbolism and metaphor-laden…

Walking into the Murakami exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art was intimidating. As I know little about art, naturally I was slightly apprehensive to be in a building solely dedicated to something I hardly understand. As a whole, the art from the exhibit seemed to change drastically as we moved throughout the display. Some pieces seemed humorless while others were risible; some towered over everything, while others could easily be missed. One piece, however, seemed to catch my attention.…

Ever since I was a child, art has been a very important part of my life. Afternoons spent painting in a little notebook or taking pictures with my toy camera are some of the moments I will always remember. The youthful joy of running around capturing moments, or sitting for hours on end with my colors at hand, is one of the purest feelings I’ve ever had. Growing up as an only child forced me to experience life differently, finding comfort in such things as my only afternoon diversion. I managed…

(Campbell). History claims that Hitler was so eager to destroy - do more than just send flames through their land, but through their culture, too. Arts and crafts has always been a major part of culture in any country. It was Hitler’s craftiness - stemming from his youth spent creating art - in politics that earned him presidency, and later, dictatorship. Arts and crafts can apply to all stages in life with the ability to help relax oneself…

doing intensive research over what careers and colleges suit me, I have finally narrowed down which could be possible for my future. I have always liked art and have practiced my art skills for many years. I also enjoy interior design, which has been a more recent enjoyment after watching various shows on t.v. over interior design. Having a career in art would open a lot of doors for me. Artists draw, paint, display and sell their artwork. According to BLS the median pay of a craft and/or fine…

Art Class Success Everyone seems to take their elective classes as a joke, because they think they are less important than their core classes. That is their first mistake. Every class that counts for a credit is important, and you still need a good enough grade if you want to pass. That class is also affecting your GPA, which affects how other schools, and jobs look at you. A class like art isn’t for everyone, but there are some things you can do to help improve your grade in art. So for all…
