Introduction One question that most people usually ask themselves when asked about the history of arts is whether art can have a history. Yes, art has a long history, older than most if not all individuals currently living on earth.

Individuals enjoy looking at arts for its own sake not knowing that they may have a significant meaning and the knowledge of its context inasmuch as viewers from different generations and cultures may see same artworks and interpret them differently from the previous generations. Most of the art works we see around originate from things of the past. Rarely does an artist come up with an imaginary art from vacuum (Art History, par 1). Most of them usually refer their arts by critiquing the outmoded models, borrowing some traditional techniques and methods, researching the old and forgotten stories as well as building on some timeless themes to enable them obtain new ideas (Par 3). It is very important for us to understand the historical precedent as it guides artists in obtaining context since art began from the caves by the Old Stone Age Homo sapiens...

...IMPACT OF MEDIA ON SOCIETY Media has continuously pervaded and defined society and has advanced with technology. The traditional forms of media propagation including television, newspapers, posters and mail remain as efficient as before the introduction of newer methods. Email, websites, e-zines and social online media have replaced expensive media production such as magazines and photographic paper. Media imparts and shapes society’s opinion on the subjects of politics, business, culture and sports. It reflects on the freedom of speech and freedom of expression within a country. The positive aspects of free media far outweigh the negative effects that may occur. In the case of internet based media, control is difficult. Control of the Internet has however been imposed in China. Media has the ability to bring relief to disaster prone areas while at the same time it may be responsible for nurturing prejudice against certain regions. For example, the perception that Africa is an extremely underdeveloped region although it is actually bustling with megacities. In the world of social media, gossip columns have the potential to ruin lives of individuals or boost their popularity. Advertising through modern media has led to the rise of fortune 500 companies. It has been argued that media has resulted in a generation of couch potatoes who rarely engage in outdoor activities. It has become rarer to find someone who has good handwriting since typing is now the preferred skill...

The recognition of artistic production in Aboriginal communities across Australia enabled artists to explore themes of cultural alienation. The first wave of contemporary Aboriginal painters including Clifford Possum, Rover Thomas, Paddy Bedford and Emily Kame Kngwarreye, utilized repertoires of dots, blocks of color, with stimulating negative spaces or gestural brushstrokes to evoke the sense of a sacred, collective 'knowledge'.

Which theory do you feel best represents the global system and why? Paper #2: (Due 05-July) The French and American Revolutions are credited with linking the “will of the people” with a national government.

Paper #3 (Due 19 July) A variety of changes characterize diplomacy in the twenty-first century. Attack or defend the following statement referring to these changes: “Many of the trends in twenty-first-century diplomacy are a double-edged sword. Although they are consistent with a broader trend toward democracy, that democratization has placed contemporary diplomacy at the whimsy of ill-informed popular opinion that can be stirred by demagogues to block progress that would be of benefit to all parties involved.” Paper #4 (Due 31 July) In an effort to understand the developmental issues confronting the United States and the world, the Senate has invited you to testify at hearings into these matters.

...following paragraphs are not about the challenges of dancers, but rather the differences between classical ballet and contemporary ballet. Stage #1 – Identification and Description The setting on the classical ballet video and the contemporary ballet is similar. Neither of the videos showed any setting or used any props. It was simple and plain, as if to emphasize the performance of the dancers than that of the entire play. The costumes on the other hand were completely different. In the classical ballet performers wore fancy, beautiful, bejeweled, costumes while the contemporary ballet dancers wore simple, comfortable, light clothing. It is clear that the costumes are made with the dancers movements in mind. For instance, the classical ballet dancers have more restricting, less fluid movements, while the contemporary ballet dancers are fluid, flexible and contortionists. As for the lighting involved, the contemporary dancers were being focused on most of the time, while the performers’ of classical ballet were not. During the performance the classical ballet used live instrumentation, while the contemporary ballet performed to a recorded soundtrack. Stage #2-Analysis Use of body During their performances the dancers mostly used their legs, however the contemporary dancers used all of their body more than the classical ballet performers.

...Emory Douglas essay With a serious interest in journalism and my passion for art, it was only a matter of time before I stumbled upon Emory Douglas, the revolutionary artist. He was born in 1943 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has been a resident of California since 1951. He became the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party in 1967, a role he held until the party disbanded in the early 1980s. During the Party’s active years he served as the art director overseeing the design and layout of the Black Panther, the Party’s weekly newspaper. Douglas's artistic talents and experience proved a powerful combination: his striking collages of photographs and his own drawings combined to create some of the era's most iconic images, like that of Newton with his signature beret and large gun set against a background of a blood-red star, which could be found blanketing neighborhoods during the 12 years the paper existed. The Black Panther Party newspaper covers were bold and graphic, using just black and one color, and either illustrated by Douglas himself or with high-contrast photographs. Douglas was trained as a commercial artist at City College of San Francisco and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions. His work has also been in numerous exhibitions about the history of the Black Panther Party, including shows at the Arts & Culture Conference of the Black Panther Party in Atlanta, GA in 2008 and “The Black Panther Rank and File” at the Yerba Buena Center...

...an old passion of his, art. Tayou stated, “when I was young I wrote and I drew. It was my way or rebelling.” (Bellmann) Beyond being part of his own life Tayou’s works today is based on the premise that art cannot be separate from life. Pascale Marthine Tayou is a chameleon able to change between many tiles such as sculptor, drawer, installator, performer, and video artist as well as a poet, writer, director and actor in his own plays and films (Bellmann) . His works might individually seem formless and out of control, viewed together in an instillation his works are like a series of interconnected dynamic networks that also like the chameleon blend together to create one message. Through Pascale Marthine Tayou postcolonial, modernist contemporary African art our society is reflected and in doing so our morals are challenged to seek love over all else. As a self trained artist Tayou career began with drawing; in 1995 he created a series of sketches based on Karl Marx’s Das Capital. After creating these first works he became associated with Doul’art association, contributing significantly to promotion the artist to the...
