...Unit 1 Individual Project Art Appreciation HUMA205-15 AIU Online June 16, 2013 Abstract There are many different definitions for the word art. Most of them come down to art being a creative skill. After researching the definition I have written a brief description of several forms of art by the definitions of art. I spent hours researching art and all the different art forms. I found several definitions beginning with our text book, An Introduction to the Visual Arts and it defines “art as a visual expression of an idea or experience, formed with skill, through the use of a medium.” (Preble, 2011) It also states that art is larger than any single definition. The next definition I found was from the Oxford Dictionary. ”Definition of art [noun] the expression or application of human creative skills and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” (Oxford Dictionary, nd) The Wikipedia definitions is as follows,” art is a diverse range of human activities and the product of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media.

...the nature of art, beauty, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty.[1][2] It is more scientifically defined as the study ofsensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentimentand taste.[3] More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."[4][5] More specific aesthetic theory, often with practical implications, relating to a particular branch of the arts is divided into areas of aesthetics such as art theory, literary theory, film theory and music theory. An example from art theory is aesthetic theory as a set of principles underlying the work of a particular artist or artistic movement: such as the Cubist aesthetic.[6] Contents Edit The word aesthetic is derived from the Greek αἰσθητικός (aisthetikos, meaning "esthetic, sensitive, sentient"), which in turn was derived from αἰσθάνομαι (aisthanomai, meaning "I perceive, feel, sense").[7] The term "aesthetics" was appropriated and coined with new meaning in the German form Æsthetik(modern spelling Ästhetik) by Alexander Baumgarten in 1735. Aesthetics and the philosophy of artEdit Aesthetics is for the artist as Ornithology is for the birds. — Barnett Newman[8][9] For some, aesthetics is considered a synonym for the philosophy of art sinceHegel, while others insist that there is a significant distinction between these closely related fields. In practice aesthetic judgement refers to the sensory contemplation or appreciation of an object...

...Steine ARTS 105 March 30, 2015 Assignment #9 1. The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It's important to develop an appreciation for different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person who is sensitive to the unique qualities of others. One way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. One way is to observe a craft from a particular culture. Observing works by producers who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. 2. Craft and art originally shared the same meaning. It was during the Renaissance that painting, sculpture and architecture got labeled into the category of art and from there on the activities of making a chair, a rug, a bowl was separated into this other category called crafts. 1. But this distinction comes from a western tradition. 2. Many other cultures does not make this distinction. Example of Pomo Indians 3. And certainly we still consider ancient Greek vases to be art. There is no definite line that separates the two. Labels are a convenient way for people to talk label art. In fact with the feminist movement in the 70’s, women were bringing crafts back into the world of art blurring...

...Bambang Elementary School Los Baños Laguna Pay-per Me-ché Livelihood Project I. Rationale Appreciation of the arts is most prominent in children during their primary education. Moreover, children learn easier and faster through graphic aids and pictures than studying purely by text. This implies that arts is an effective way of teaching lessons and values to the youth. Two of the key values necessary for community development are entrepreneurship and creativity. Thus, it would be advantageous to implant these values at an early age so as there will be more room for development in the future. In order to effectively impart these key values to the youth, certain activities must be conducted that will not only introduce the said values but also enhance it. The proposed training program entitled Pay-per Me-ché is designed specifically so that the Grade 6 and SPED students of Bambang Elementary School will learn some ways on having a livelihood project that they can adopt as early as now for a long-term means of profit and at the same time is appropriate for their age.

...How Would You Change Government Arts Funding? The arts are a vital to our society, it helps us understand the past and future, and constantly provides us with a reminder of what we can offer to this world. In an address about the arts for students and the spouses of international leaders, our first lady Michelle Obama stated, “It is through our music, our literature, our art, drama and dance that we tell the story of our past and we express our hopes for the future. Our artists challenge our assumptions in ways that many cannot and do not. They expand our understandings, and push us to view our world in new and very unexpected ways. It's through this constant exchange -- this process of taking and giving, this process of borrowing and creating -- that we learn from each other and we inspire each other.” (Boehm, "Michelle Obama Tells International Audience Why the Arts Matter") It’s easy to see why keeping the arts alive should be a priority of our generation. We must find ways to support creativity, innovation, and artistic talent in any way that we can. The arts in America depends on a mixture of both public and private funding to stay alive. Since 1965, the US federal government has provided funding to the arts through an independent agency called the National Endowment for the Arts, or NEA. The goals of the agency include “the creation of art meeting the highest standards of excellence, engaging the public with diverse and excellent art, and promoting public knowledge...

China And The Business Experience For centuries, China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, the communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, MAO's successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development...

...Antony Njoroge Module 6 assignment 1 Dr Wheat. When it comes to motivating employees in a company, leaders do need to understand the best approach of going about it and not having the negative way of approach. Intrinsic motivation and it’s the only type of motivation that works reliably and in the long term. Companies who practice this find that they no longer need to struggle to motivate people and light their fire – people motivate themselves. They approach work with zest, creativity and energy because what they want to do matches what the company wants them to do. Hence to quote Dwight D. Eisenhower “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it” The number one motivating factor to get employees to perform at their best focuses on appreciation and recognition, while money is important to employees, what tends to motivate them to perform at high levels is the thoughtful, personal kind of recognition that signifies true appreciation for a job well done. The best way to provide recognition and appreciation is through the use of rewards. 1. Design rewards based on the individual's personal preferences. For example to reward a workaholic with a day off could be seen by the employee as, a punishment instead of a show of appreciation as it was meant to be. To really understand what is important to each employee it's essential to get to know each employee well and find out what they think are important rewards...
