...Arts and Culture Josh Whatcott Arts/125 December 08, 2014 Kristin Hunt Arts and Culture Culture and Art are valued terms which should not be separated as they are deeply intertwined with one another. Art is creation, quality, realm, and appearance based on aesthetics of beauty, or out of the ordinary. Art comes in a wide variety of facets such as painting, theatre, music, dance, and other visual abstract art. With developing technology, values are changing and thus creating an increase in multiculturalism. Artwork maintains to focus on culture heritage, therefore creating an emotional approach on the viewer providing an understanding of differences. Art has a significant impact on my life especially through music and the love of tattoos. Making music involves your voice, fingers, playing an instrument, and the brain. Individuals involved in music use their ears, eyes, and tap into multiple skills others may not experience outside of music. It truly is a work of art and brings me so much joy. Being a man of many tattoos there is always argument whether tattooing is art. Tattooing is now recognized by the U.S. government as an art form and a profession. It is now that tattoo related art can be implemented in a museum, gallery, or educational institutions across the U.S.A. Tattooing has been around for years and continues to illustrate the relationship between art and American culture. Technology continues to evolve our lives and the globe that exists around us...

...The principle idea of this paper is to explore my opinions of Pop Culture and the Arts. Art to me is anything that can be pleasing to the eye and something that I can enjoy in my own way. Culture refers to how I was brought up. As with any expressions art can be a picture, painting, photograph, music, or a sculpture. Anything that one’s mind can create that they appreciate can be considered art. Looking at art one can see it in books, magazines, museums, on walls of buildings, or on someone’s lawn. Art is defined as the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance (Dictionary, 2012). Some of our most revered American’s brought us the visual aspects of different forms of art. Norman Rockwell posted many of the most famous painting by an American in The Saturday Evening Post. One of his most illustrious paintings was “Rosie The Riveter” that spawned a revolution for women in the workplace taking over job’s dominated by men called off to war. There have been many others who have influenced art in America. Grandma Moses, who started painting as a very late stage in her life painted country scene setting and about farm life, Andy Warhol, who is most famous for painting Campbell’s Soup cans (Mofitt, 2007). Frederic Remington for his depictions of the Old American West in the late 19th century, and Georgia O’keefe for her Southwestern United States painting scenes to name a few....

Telling stories and trying to unlock the minds of people through different avenues of artistic labors. Art touches and affects people in unique ways; it can have special or unusual meaning on the person depending on how one views it. Artists’ rendering of their art is interpreted in numerous ways by others who view it unless it is explained by the artist on its meaning giving a clear example of what they are portraying. Two people looking at the same painting, sculpture, portrait, or photo may come to different views on the arts meaning even though they are looking at the same item. Art is how one interprets it and what that person sees. In today’s society art is done in so many other forms and diverse categories.

...Photography and Social Reform John Gizzi ART 125 September 28, 2015 Sarah Baer After watching the video and reading through the assigned readings for the week it became very clear how big of a role photography played during the great depression. Roy Stryker and his team of photographers had a nearly impossible challenge to move and motivate an entire country. Their original job was to convince congress that the millions of displaced Americans desperately needed the government’s assistance. However this was a tough notion to sell to congress and the rest of Americans who were not living through the struggles themselves. There was a huge disconnect between the families affected by the depression and families that had made it through the depression unscathed. The photograph was used by Stryker and his team to document the reality of what was happening all over the American country side. They had to present it in such a way that it did not come across as propaganda. At the time Americans were fed up with the government’s propaganda following the war. The photographs took during this time were able to put a human face and emotion to the barren fields and deserted farms. Photos were used as a tool to communicate the truth and stories of millions of victims of the Great Depression. These iconic photos spoke more than a thousand words, they evoked emotions and understanding throughout the United States. These photos had the power to unite an entire nation. During this course...

...Talia Wilburn ARTS/125 February 15, 2016 Pop Culture and Art Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg were a lot in a lot of different ways but what stands out is their use of everyday objects. They took things that we may not think are so artistic and turned them into masterpieces that can viewed throughout the world. Their subjects were a reflection of their era because they took things that regular people were using in their everyday lives and bringing them to life on canvases. America was coming out of the Great Depression and they needed something fresh to look at opposed to all the depressing struggle art they were getting used to. So by these two taking everyday objects and turning them into works of art, things that people could relate to. If I was creating my own art work from my daily activities the imagery I would use is life in the office since that is where I am most of the time. I would draw attention to computers and notebooks and all things that represent the office. Even the small things like keyboards, and mouse pads, notebooks, and paper clips. My life consists of a normal 9 to 5 in the office as an insurance agent I sit at a desk all day trying to figure out what’s the best option for people to protect themselves. I haven’t seen any art that draws attention to the office and it’s not that I really looked into it either but if I were the artist that is what I would want my audience to view. References (Writer).

...Chapter 29 and 30 University of Phoenix Arts 125 Pop Culture and the Arts Bishop James Wilkowski December 15, 2010 Chapter 29 & 30 After reading and absorbing chapter 29, I came to the conclusion that art was a very misunderstood attribute of life. Many people did not accept that art could represent an artists’ mood or surroundings. Throughout the chapter it explains that many paintings of streets, architecture, and ordinary people emerged around the 1900s. This new art form known as realism portrayed the everyday life of people in poverty and in urban America. This time was known as the beginning of the truth. Realism was much different from the European paintings. Realism focused on the life on the streets in America. Many American’s were disgruntled about the fact painters would paint images of society suffering and in misery. This misunderstanding lead to the hardships painters faced while contributing to art galleries and shows. Realism paintings were too much for some gallery owners and they banned the art from the gallery. Robert Henri and the eight changed this a few years later. Robert understood that society wasn’t accepting this new generation of paintings, so he opened a school for painters freely to their work. Once the school was open painters began freely painting and eventually contributed to the realism movement. Robert eventually took eight men under his wing and mentored them. Chapter 30 took realism to...
