...------------------------------------------------- Creative art and Fine art . By a broad definition of art,[9] artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind: from early pre-historic art to contemporary art; however, some theories restrict the concept to modern Western societies.[10] The first and broadest sense of art is the one that has remained closest to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft." A few examples where this meaning proves very broad include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts. However, there are many other colloquial uses of the word, all with some relation to its etymology. The second and more recent sense of the word art is as an abbreviation for creative art or fine art and emerged in the early 17th century.[13] Fine art means that a skill is being used to express the artist's creativity, or to engage the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of the finer things. The word art can refer to several things: a study of creative skill, a process of using the creative skill, a product of the creative skill, or the audience's experience with the creative skill. The creative arts (art as discipline) are a collection of disciplines that produce artworks (art as objects) that are compelled by a personal drive (art as activity) and convey a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (art as experience). Art is something that stimulates an individual's...

...Visual Arts 2 Kashata Warren Arts/230 October24,2011 Regina Sadona Visual Arts 2 “Visual Arts are those creations one can literally look at, such as a drawing or a sculpture.”(Visual Arts.com,) One may think of a design or a collage and call it art. Many people visualize art to be a number of creative things. This is why it is so important. During a certain point and time back in history, a group of artist and fine people decided the need to differentiate science and art. “They begin to split up fine Arts into Visual Arts (painting, sculpture, etc.), Auditory Arts (music, drama, spoken literature) and Performance Arts (which can be either Visual, Auditory or a combination of two-but are performed.” (www.arthistory.com,) Introducing a few different “Visual Arts “ which were mentioned earlier in the essay “paintings, sculptures, etc.”(www.arthistory.com) “John Ahearnand and RigobertoTorres’s sculpture “Pat” (1982). “(Sayne, 2010) is a good example of a visual art sculpture. One example of a visual art painting is “Pablo Picasso’s Seated Batter,1930.”(Sayne,2010) Introducing an example of Auditory Art would be “Neo-Classical 5 “(celestical-voices.blogspot.com/2010/04/neo-classical-2010.htm/).

...Arts Integration is “an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both.” Across the United States there has been an increasing awareness of arts integration in various subject areas such as science, language arts, mathematics, and social studies. When comparing mathematics and art people quite often see them as two completely divided entities. In education, mathematics was a rational, cognitive, “left-brain” activity, while art was viewed as a feeling, emotional, “right-brain” activity. The truth is that math and the arts share some similar qualities that make them...

...Visual Art Anthony Rega ARTS/230 July 19, 2014 Monique Derr Visual Art Visual art is appreciated by more than just the artsy type. Visual art is an expression of creativity, communication, and beauty. Many other forms of art also express creativity, but Visual art differentiates from these forms in that it also serves other purposes, such as communication and is left open to interpretation. The value of visual art goes beyond the price tag on it. Visual art has been valued by cultures for recording traditions. There are many influences on how visual art is interpreted. Visual Art Depending on the style or form, art can be appreciated by every viewer. “Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.” (Godard, 2014). Within the brain, humans have two lobes, one controlling the left side of the body, the right lobe, which is considered to be the logic side, and one controlling the right side of the body, the left lobe, which is considered to be the creative side. With that being said, everyone has a creative side. Regardless of the ability to express creativity, everyone is influenced by it. Visual art is a general form of art that covers art that is physically seen, such as Paintings, Sculptures, and Photography. Human beings are visual beings, if someone says “big, black dog” we do not visualize the spelling of the words, but we conceive the physical attributes of a big, black dog in our mind. However, visual art does the opposite, it conceives the...

...many students do you know take a class in the arts department? Schools typically have classes set for students who are ingenuine and creative. These subjects can include: studio art, graphic design, drama, and music. Although for most schools it is not a requirement, most students tend to pick a class in the arts department. However, some students think that all students should be required to take a class in the arts. Schools should not require students to take a class in the arts department because one can have difficulties excelling in certain subjects, some students may show interest in the arts and can be a waste of time, and it would add up onto the standard graduation requirements. Core subjects alone can be difficult for many students; therefore, students become stressed and confused. Not everyone has certain talents to excel in these subjects and adding on creative arts to the matter would make a big mess. Students should not be required to take a class in...

...Aamnah Ahmad | CD-711/2012 Art Politics | Ayesha Omar Karachi is a melting pot of people with different backgrounds, beliefs, lifestyles and cultures. The incredible variety that one can find in this city is what makes it the most dynamic and interesting, which is exactly the kind of basis that is required for introducing and producing art of all kinds. By making arts and cultural activities an integral part of the fabric of the city, we will not only be able to help this diversity to grow and thrive creatively, but it will also play an instrumental role in strengthening community bonds by involving people and facilitating interactions and collaborations that will allow new and innovative ideas and experiments to develop. Involving the people in various cultural activities and art projects is a noninvasive and efficient way to start to bridge the vast gap that is felt between the different communities that inhabit Karachi and allows everyone’s opinions and thoughts to be heard and projected in a more creative and far interesting manner. For arts and other cultural activities to become that seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, the funding will also need to come from the people, for the people. As in Brazil’s art funding model, some percentage of the tax payer’s money is allocated by a nonprofit organization to provide the people with access not just to basic necessities but also to art, music and other cultural activities that they can indulge and participate in.

...Defending the Arts Tiffany O’Connell ARTS/100 Defending the Arts Art refers to the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination typically in a visual form such as painting and producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. They are various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance. The elements of the composition of the art are used to arrange or organize the components in a way that is pleasing to the artist and, hopefully, the viewer. It helps give structure to the layout and the way the subject is presented. It also encourages or leads the viewer's eye to wander around the whole painting, taking in everything and ultimately coming back to rest on the point. These elements are considered to be unit, balance, rhythm, focus, contrast, pattern, color, line among others. Unit refers to when the parts of the composition feel as if they belong together. Balance is the symmetrical arrangement of objects. It creates a sense of calm when symmetrical and a sense of unease and imbalance where it’s not. Rhythm: just like music, a piece of art has rhythm, a piece of art can have a rhythm or underlying beat that leads and paces the eye as you look at it .Repeated color and shapes creates a rhythm in a paint (Rosenberg 2013). Focus refers to emphasis on a particular object. The viewer's eye may want to rest in the most of the things in the painting, otherwise...

...Essay on Art/Expression Seminar I: Exploring the Liberal Arts Ottawa University 02/01/14 Introduction Art is the most creative way for communication possible. They are many forms of art. As I researched many different forms of art, I see art as the form of something visual. I know this is a cliché, but I believe beauty is in the eyes of the holder. Art is how people perceive it through others expressions. And also the relationships people have with arts. The Body of Art/Expression I learned that Robert Frost and Maya Angelou were great poets. But quite different in the way they wrote their poetry. Robert Frost liked to use everyday words you could use in a conversation. He believed poetry should not tell us something we don’t know, but to teach us. As for Maya Angelou, she had different way of writing. Angelou was an African American who had a difficult childhood. Angelou was raped by her mother’s boyfriend. This caused her to stop talking. Through expression of Art, she became a great poet. Artistic expression can take on many forms. Whether it is painting, writing poems or books, composing music or one of the many ways that people express themselves. Art expression is a way to promote creativity that can increase happiness. So whatever artistic pleasure a person likes, it is how a person likes it its how they express me in through art is through music. I enjoy singing and listening to country music. It has a calming effect on me. As for a career...

The first programs to go are often disciplines that fall into the fine arts category: such as music, art and foreign language. However, the problem is not just the lack of funds, but the increase in demands on testing on “more important” core classes. Across the nation, this testing obsession has kicked side fine arts in most schools that had once had been vital places of learning, have been reduced itself to mere test prep factories where “achievement” means nothing more than scoring well on a bubble test. In reality, fine arts in a school’s curriculum are just as, if not, more...

The MCA has been dedicated to displaying, collecting and interpreting contemporary art since it first opened its doors to the public in November 1991 (MCA, 2014). The beginning of the MCA was due to an Australian artist, John Power, who left his fortune to the University of Sydney when he passed away. The University of Sydney, on Power’s request, used this money to educate and inform Australians about contemporary art. This eventually led to the NSW Government donating the old Maritime Services Board premises to the cause. This location is where the MCA remains today. The following paper will analyse critical elements involved in the MCA’s strategic operations. Beginning with the mission, goals and objectives, followed by an external environmental analysis and an internal capability analysis. The majority...

...comes to the world of the arts. Creativity is another another word for being different. Without taking a chance at something you cannot be creative. Playing and education both coincide with one another in great ways, but a lot of educators neglect this great act in trying to get children to learn. A few passages in the articles particularly resonated with me. One concept that interested me was an idea McCaslin suggested in his article “Play” about play and how it is a continuing way of learning. She said, “The impulse to play, if encouraged, can become a continuing way of learning, a medium of expression, and eventually an art form.”(Play/McCaslin pg. 43) In other words McCaslin is trying to say that play brings people together and allows them to open their mind in a different way. Educators in todays education system neglect the fact that play allows students to be more comfortable with one another as well as allowing them to do it on their own. Kids take playing games more serious than anything else they will do associated with school so why not integrate that into their lessons. In the aspect of play eventually being an art form, that statement is completely true. Playing is great for children as well as well as adults to actors. Playing is something actors do on a daily basis that allows them to be free and creative. Performing on stage can be considered play especially when it involves improv because that form of art is all about how creative you can be. Its all from the...
