What Is Art?

shapes that are common in Tarsila’s work. These shapes are outlined in darker colors that contrast with the colors of what is behind them. There are two figures sitting side by side in the foreground, the focus of the painting, and behind them is the foliage of Brazil where Tarsila is from and where she bases her work. Her nativeness to Brazil is a significant part of understanding her art as it is a source of her drive to change modern…

reordered as G.K, acknowledged two things in his memoir. First, Costantini’s real passion for art, as into his best associate, a notebook that always had with him, he sketched of every building on Sarah Island. G.K described Costantini as ‘a most extraordinary fellow here… an artist and draughtsman of great ability’; G.K by…

1. What is your interpretation of the author’s statement, “Do the wrong thing? Just do it on purpose, no by accident, and how why you’re doing it.” (see paragraph #3, page 4, “of course...”) a. From the statement, my interpretation for the author’s idea is that the artists can do whatever they want. There is nothing wrong in their style as long as they do it in purpose and they know what they are doing. There is no rule or set expectation for artists. They can make anything even if they know…

Art Funding Should taxpayer dollars go to funding arts programs that may not be able to support themselves otherwise? Art programs all across the nation are being cut due to budget cuts. Preteens and teenagers are losing their way of self-expression and kids are losing the chance to practice their motor skills and cognitive thinking early. For that reason, taxpayer dollars should go to funding arts programs. For preteens, and teenagers who don’t know how to express themselves through…

it is positive or negative, whether it affects the world or an individual -- who could even be the artist himself -- in the end, something has changed in the universe. This is why art that changes nothing could be considered useless. If a painting on a wall is never noticed, it is invisible. The change induced by art could be internal or external. Often, it is a strong internal change that leads to the external, which is why the former could be the most powerful. Internal change is produced…

fun class for me because, I'm a fun, crazy, and kind of person and I think I would have fun acting out plays in the class or other things. There was a lot of act classes that the high school had for the us students. I had a hard time picking which art class to take with three spots left. At the…

In elementary school, spending some time on an art project is one of the most exciting things a child gets to do. It’s something everyone can enjoy, no matter how good or bad they are. But as they get older, they lose interest. This disinterest combined with the sheer cost of such programs makes the arts an easy target when money needs to be saved. However, keeping art programs can be very beneficial. The arts have been proven to increase academic performance. They also give students a creative…

During my visit to the art museum I saw a lot of styles of art that I hadn’t experienced before. From glass and paintings to sculptures and photography there was quite a bit to take in. I enjoyed my trip to the Vero Beach Museum of Art much more so then I expected. Seeing all of the different pieces of art in person really seemed to intensify the experience of critiquing art in a different way than I had experienced just viewing pictures of art in class or at home. Some of the pieces really…

about the street art directly.…

ride home from the art museum, one of my classmates screamed to the top of his lungs, “I DON’T GET IT,” though his cheeks reddened at the sight of everyone looking at him. He began to further explain, “I don’t get why they drew those pictures, or why we should care.” Ms. Gregory was baffled. We could tell she didn’t have a good enough answer for our classmate. When it finally came to her response, she could only say, “Art is a big part of why we are the way we are. It shows what we go through,…
