...with almost got Anna killed. While Anna held on to that relationship, Elsa had shut herself out in fear of hurting someone. Things got worse as their parents, the king and the queen died in a shipwreck, leaving the sisters more alone than ever. Years later, Elsa is forced to interact with others during her coronation, the build up of emotions and feelings gave way. Her powers bursted out, trapping all of Arendelle in a winter wonderland and causing the townsmen to chase out their new queen. Seeing Elsa’s well intentions all these years, Anna goes on a perilous journey where she met many new friends and ultimately shows Elsa that love is the way. In regards to Groen and Franzen's artistic criteria, the movie Frozen would be considered quality art as it exhibits “real” characters, is considered tragic in the sense that it’s realistic, and is relatable. The main character, Anna carries a large diversity of personalities that reaches the standards set by Franzen, being "not either/or but both/and”. At the start of the movie, Anna is a fun-loving, energetic, impatient child who is in love with her sister. However, she doesn’t think much of her own safety as she instinctively hops from one tall snow pile to another leading to the incident that caused Elsa’s self inflicted isolation. During the coronation, she shows different sides of herself as being optimistic in romance, shy, yet outgoing and more. Anna once again exhibits her stubbornness and how naive she is during her fight with...

...Masculinity was important in America in the 1950s when A View from the Bridge is set. Both Franzen and Miller show that masculinity can be expressed by the different characters in his novel in many different ways which highlight the many aspects of masculinity. Both Franzen and Miller present masculinity through the ways in which the male characters interact with each other. There are conflicting views of masculinity in A View from the Bridge; Eddie represents the judgmental views of masculinity. His character is unable to bear Rodolpho’s attitude and appearance as it attacks Eddie’s individual definition of masculinity. “He’s like a weird…with that wacky hair…he’s like a chorus girl” Eddie unloads his feelings and disapproval regarding Rodolpho and his conduct to Catherine and Alfieri who is used as a guidance counsellor for Eddie to discuss his worries, “I see it in his eyes; he’s laughin’ at her and she’s laughin’ at me.” Eddie notices the behaviour of Rodolpho and interprets it in a jealous way to mean he is being made fun of behind his back. Eddie is seen as a strong masculine father figure, whereas Rodolpho is viewed as a blonde feminine acting male figure. Rodolpho sings “Paper Doll” to Catherine which in Eddie’s point of view hints at Rodolpho’s feminine natures. Eddie is threatened by Catherine’s great enjoyment in Rodolpho’s singing, Eddie rises and moves upstage, as an attempt to stop the singing which insults his view of masculinity. Eddie’s bowling buddies are used...

...At the beginning of the 19th century, Neoclassicism was the dominant art form of Europe. Neoclassical artists studied nature and the art and literature of Ancient Civilizations to extract basic truths about beauty and honor. By utilizing themes and styles from the ancient Greece and Roman Empires, Neoclassicism emerged in the later 18th century as part of a general revival of interest in classical cultures. The Neoclassicism movement in art encompassed painting, sculpture, and architecture. It was particularly appealing during the French and American Revolutions which was not coincidental considering these cultures had traditions of liberty, civic virtue, morality, and sacrifice. The movements serious, orderly character, reflected in sculpture...

...Visual arts classes are crucial to kindergarten through 12th grade students because they allow students a break from academic classes and offer them a period of creative freedom allowing them to relieve stress from school. Some kids simply don’t enjoy music or digital art classes, such as photography, because they typically do not have the opportunity to express themselves through their assignments. In many small town high schools, those classes are kids’ only options. Although music and digital arts are both arts classes, visual arts classes do not focus on competition or perfection, leading to less stress and more creative freedom for the students. As example of how art classes have affected students, Alvord ISD is a school that did not offer a visual arts class until the first semester of 2014. They had even planned to drop the class at the end of last school year due to the instructor’s resignation. Even though the instructor, Krissi Oden, was resigning, she understood the importance of art class in the lives of the Alvord ISD students. She contacted the school board to convince them to keep the class. To many people’s surprise, they kept the class but only offered two levels of it. There were quite a few...

...important symbol for freedom from tyranny. The way that each artist conveyed their message was very different from the others. Michelangelo’s David is based on the time just prior to battle with Goliath, and Donatello’s was just after the battle. There are similarities these two some of it may be that they are both from the Renaissance era. Both positioned in a manner that they have a curved form to them, and they are both nude. These are a common style in this period of art and relates to the way that the human body was perceived at the time. Michelangelo depicted David larger than life and gave him the sculptured look of the Greek gods. The way he is sculptured gives him a muscular and mature look. Donatello showed David as an adolescent that was still developing into his role. Bernini takes a different approach to the same idea, but he puts David in battle, in the midst of the swing that takes Goliath down. He is taking action there is not any thought of what is coming, nor is he standing confident of from his accomplishment that he has already done. The pose that Bernini has David in shows how David is preparing to throw the stone at Goliath, showing the force that the stone has and the amount of energy that David had. In this period of art, the Baroque, the way people looked at the human body was different. Bernini clothed David in his sculpture; this helped the viewer to focus on the actions of David. The three sculptures of David are revered as works of art to this day. All...

...Ever since film critic Roger Ebert stated that video games were not art, there has been much debate regarding the issue. According to Ebert, art provides instruction about “life, love, disease and death, principles and morality, humor and tragedy” (Reese). Therefore, I believe that games can be art because they can apply to someone personally and emotionally. For example, a very simple game called Passage could make people cry. It uses the freedom of choice and the interpretation of life to make the game very personal. Because it illustrates aspects of life such as “emotional devastation” (Reese), life, love, etc., it fits Ebert’s definition of art. Not all games are art, but those that incorporate the processes of life are art. Another reason...

...was part of the Greek and Roman history. The neoclassical era started as a reaction to the former Rococo period. The Rococo art was whimsical and playful. . The artwork of the neoclassical era was morally uplifting and inspirational. The artwork depicted the seriousness of the time, order, reason, tradition, society, intellect and political events. Neoclassical artists wanted a return to traditionalism and to the perceived purity of the arts of Rome. Neoclassical artists felt this would help the people to return to knowledge and a perfect controlled time. Philosophers of the neoclassical era believed that they would be able to control their destinies by learning from and following the Laws of Nature thus giving the name “The Age of Reason”. “France wished to model the government on the high virtues and moral principles of classical Rome. Therefore, neoclassical artists were commissioned to create paintings and sculptures that depicted inspirational scenes from Roman history. Even architecture and interior design began to reflect the neoclassical period” (Neoclassicism | Art Movement). Neoclassical art emphasized courage, order, solemnity, sacrifice, nationalism, and tradition. Neoclassical art is characterized by classical themes. Sometimes the subject's were placed in archaeological settings with people dressed in classical costumes. Neoclassical art doesn’t contain any emotion and portrayals of heroic actions. The paintings during the neoclassical era were calm and rational...

...1922, Siqueiros returned to Mexico City to work as a muralist for Álvaro Obregón’s revolutionary government. Then Secretary of Public Education José Vasconcelos made a mission of educating the masses through public art and hired scores of artists and writers to build a modern Mexican culture. Siqueiros, Rivera and José Orozco worked together under Vasconcelos, who supported the muralist movement by commissioning murals for prominent buildings in Mexico City. Still, the artists working at the Preparatoria realized that many of their early works lacked the "public" nature envisioned in their ideology. In 1923 Siqueiros helped found the Syndicate of Revolutionary Mexican Painters, Sculptors and Engravers, which addressed the problem of widespread public access through its union paper, El Machete. That year the paper published – "for the proletariat of the world" – a manifesto, which Siqueiros helped author, on the necessity of a "collective" art, which would serve as "ideological propaganda" to educate the masses and overcome bourgeois, individualist art. Siqueiros hoped to create a style that would bridge national and universal art. In his work as well as his writing, Siqueiros sought a social realism that at once hailed the proletariat peoples of Mexico and the world while avoiding the clichés of trendy "Primitivism" and "Indianism" 1932 at the Italian Hall at Olvera Street in Los Angeles.[11] Painting fresco on an outside wall – visible to passersby as well as intentional viewers...

...First, I will need to say what Jacques-Louis David’s political messages that are encoded in his paintings that I can see. David’s messages were a crisis is coming, freedom and unity will happen, the cost will include blood and death and these messages can be seen in three painting. “Oath of the Horatii” shows three roman men in battle entire reaching for their blades that are being held by their father whom is holding them by the blades themselves with the wives behind the father sadden and hoping the men come back alive. I associate this work with the crisis that is coming for the young men were chosen to win a dispute with another city and this can apply to David’s message for at the time there is a problem massing in Europe between the king...

...Everybody has a conscious, W.E Du bois however states some people have two, a double consciousness is created by society through Discrimination in all of its forms. Discrimination is an unjust act of hate and prejudice towards another group of people, however art can be used as a means to fight against it, the movie The Interrupters shows how someone can break through the barriers of discrimination and bring light to a dark situation. Discrimination is a negative part of life everyone has experienced to different extremes, everyone has a different way to fight back, some people chose to use art. In the essay “ From the Souls of Black Folk: Of our Spiritual Strivings” by W. E. Du Bois, he talks in depth about the struggle of African American Life directly following the Emancipation proclamation. Du Bois writes in great detail about the state of mind known as the Double Consciousness. He states “ … the negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second sight in this American World, a world in which yields him no true -self consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world (Du Bois 132). “ Du Bois is stating that the way an African American is viewed during this time period is different than the way he sees himself. He feels like he is split into two, his American side and his African side, both cultures pulling at him but not wanting to separate from either. (132). The Double Consciousness is a concept that is still...

...issue of racism. Everyone may not feel this way or see it this way but perception is key. The photograph leaves your mind to fill in the blanks because you can not see shoulder down, you do not know if they are fully nude. You can not tell if this photograph is of two homosexual men or two hetersexual men. People perceive it as what they want it to be. 2.This photograph is a workout and can be seen that way. Most of the greatest art works have negative backlash. Damien Hirst's statue Verity is one of the most controversial art works of the 20th century, but is an artwork.Just like the photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe. 3.The NEA Putting a restriction on how Artist create their work undermines the idea of art. Art is an expression, whether you decide to express your political standpoint or religious standpoint it is completely up to the person making the art. If an Artist would like to show appreciation to the male body like it has been done for centuries it is acceptable but to do so with the female body it is seen with so much negativity. Art is about expression. People should not be controlled by another person's perception or...

...political and social time in the Romanticism movement sparked a need in artists to document the ordinary world instead of grandiose and dramatic scenes, and the Realism movement began. This movement developed and popularized these depictions of scenes from the ordinary world without any flourish, as seen by Honoré Daumier with “The Third-Class Carriage”. Realism originated as a reaction to the social and political characteristics of the Romanticism movement, as seen in various literary works, impacted the art world greatly. The late eighteenth century began the Romanticism movement, which prevailed as the dominate artistic movement through the nineteenth century. It directly revolted against the Enlightenment period, by “challenging the excessive rationalism” and “stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience” and came about as a result of the effects of the French Revolution. Prior to the revolution, there was little or no creative expression and freedom of speech in Monarchy controlled areas (newworldencyclopedia.org). After the revolution, which included the collapse of such Monarch rulers, a new, dramatic sentiment emerged: Artist's were freed from oppressive restrictions and were now able to express their emotions. Romanticism focused on severe emotions...

However, when it comes to public funding of Arts, majority of people would question to support and not voluntarily give their money to some particular artworks and artists who have a strongly different opinion, and try to express what they think is offensive. Ambiguously defined obscene and the fact that there’s no general standards of “proper art” has made many artworks and artists to be attacked. Chris Ofili’s The Holy Virgin Mary is the example of controversies over public funding and “offensive” art. In 1999, the Brooklyn Museum of Art exhibited The Holy Virgin Mary, the work includes many collaged images and materials include pornographic photographs of female genitalia and elephant dung....
