...Topic: Being involved in the arts makes people feel better. To what extent you agree or disagree? We cannot deny the fact that the art which includes music, film, novels and so on is an essence of human’s life. Either artists or audiences find the benefit of the arts as the role of education and recreation A sensitive reader may find the message hidden in each work of art. A well- known novel namely “Uncle Tom’s cabin” by American author which depicted the reality of slavery in Civil War can be considered the most touching story ever. Despite the simple expression the book gently told a story full of humanity and moral value. Reading this novel we can learn how terrible the black people were treated in the white society that is unimaginable in the modern world. Besides, readers can perceive an idea that all people are equal whatever their color or ethnic and they deserve to be treated fairly. After the publication of “Uncle Tom’s cabin” a lot of novels and articles were printed showing an outstanding work has the great effect not only on the audiences but the other authors also. While the educational role of the arts can be not easy to see, almost people take the arts especially the performing arts as a way of entertainment. One of the most notable comedians is Charlie Chaplin who along with his silent film series was the phenomenal of the silent-film era. It is obvious that people despite of the age or nationality may find the relaxation each time watching this movie. By...

...Art is My Life From an early age I have always had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all through my life. In year nine I realized that it was something that I might like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. The Chase's art department encouraged me very well and helped me develop my art skills. I am currently studying Art at A-level and have had my work exhibited in a gallery and in local industry buildings as part of the 'Art in the Workplace' scheme which is organized by my college. The piece of my artwork which was displayed, and used in a business's workplace was a painting inspired by an Art Department trip to Italy. In my spare time, I enjoy running my own comedy website with my friends, which has enabled me to learn good organizational skills. Aside from art, I enjoy playing basketball with other students from my college every Wednesday afternoon. I have found this to be a welcome break from normal study, allowing me to exercise at the same time as relieving stress. My present interest in art is more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more "real". My current...

...Importance of art in the life of people Introduction Art is a vehicle with expression and communication of emotions and ideas in conjunction. The types of art are: fine art, performing art and others. Fine art is a kind of visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged by its beauty and meaningfulness, especially painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolour, graphic and architecture. Conversely, performing art uses the artist’s body, face, and presence as a medium. The latter include; dance, drama, music, opera, theatre, magic, spoken word, circus arts and many such performed art. Body Painting- fine art It is a mode of expression which means it expresses spiritual motifs, feelings and ideas. Painting can be naturalistic and representational such as still life and landscape and it can also be photographic and abstract. Painting is one of the three romantic arts along with poetry and music for its symbolic, highly intellectual purpose. “The mona lisa” is one of the most recognisable artist painting in western world. So painting is meaningful in most people life. Sculpture – is an important form of public art (fine art) It is a three dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard material by the use of imagination. Sculpture is highly influential by its originality and genuineness which means it comes directly from the heart of the producer and reaches the heart of the consumer. A collection of sculpture in a garden...

...Rites of Passage 02/18/10 The Awakening The Role of Art in Edna’s Life Throughout The Awakening by Kate Chopin, art becomes a symbol of freedom for Edna. Even though Edna uses art as an escape from her husband, Léonce Pontellier, it also symbolizes failure. Edna believes that if she becomes an artist she will achieve the independence that she desires. She learns about the power that art can have on someone from Mademoiselle Reisz. Mademoiselle Reisz views art as a test of individuality. Edna is unable to pass the test because she incapable of defending her individuality against society and social rules. As Edna makes progress in her paintings and illustrations, she also grows as an individual. Music also becomes a symbol of freedom for Edna. Through the arts, Edna is able to create an independence from her husband. In The Awakening, Edna sees the role that music plays in women’s lives through Mademoiselle Reisz and Adèle Ratignolle. Having two different women that play music, allows Edna to see two paths that she can take to achieve her art and independence. Edna’s friend, Adèle Ratignolle, plays the piano to keep her husband and children happy. Edna enjoys when Adèle Ratignolle plays the piano, but she prefers listening to Mademoiselle Reisz because she thinks Reisz pieces are powerful. When she listens to Mademoiselle Reisz, she discovers unexplored emotional territories. Chopin writes “The very first chords which Mademoiselle Reisz struck upon the piano sent a keen...

...Intelligence, Art, and Sport Participation on Life Satisfaction Intelligence, Art, and Sport Participation on Life Satisfaction Connor Armitage Long Beach State University Instructor: Trevor Pickering 1 Intelligence, Art, and Sport Participation on Life Satisfaction Background Many factors contribute to an individual’s overall satisfaction with their life. The aim of this paper is to examine three of these factors; namely: how often someone participates in the arts, how often someone participates in sports, and how intelligent someone is compared to their peers. Previous research has shown that participation in art activities can lead to overall improved mood and happiness (Rogers & Zaragoza-Loa 2003). This belief has also found its way into popular culture and is used as a therapeutic activity. Like art, participation in sports is also viewed as an effective way to cope with stress and as a healthy release. Its role within our society to bring together members of the community has been cemented for centuries and this too is well supported by research (Tasiemski, Kennedy, Gardner, & Taylor 2005). Our culture also highly values intelligence as a trait because of social reasons and because high levels of intelligence contribute to our ability to accomplish our goals. For these reasons intelligence is also instrumental in an individual’s satisfaction with life (Koydemir, Simsek, Schutz, &Tipandjan 2013). While each of these factors’ effects on Life Satisfaction is...

...Chapter One: Ivan’s Life With Art Ivan is a gorilla with many great things in his life and many bad things, but one of the things that Ivan is passionate about is art. Art has helped Ivan through life and one time has even saved his life. The first point for Ivan’s love for art is how happy he gets while doing it. Ivan doesn’t really have much going for him in his life. He doesn’t have a sister or brother and lives in a domain inside a mall where he barely gets to see the outside world through a hole in the ceiling or past the pinball machine outside the windows. But when he was able to draw on anything he loved it. When Ivan was just a young little blackback he said “I would draw on my mother’s back with mud.” When Ivan wasn’t able to draw...

...Oscar Wilde was a passionate admirer of art, an intellectual dandy and a keen advocate of the Aesthetic Movement. Through his essay The Decay of Lying: An Observation, Wilde uses an obviously self-modelled character named Vivian to set out a series of doctrines which detail his personal philosophy on the relationship that exists between art and life, and the rolls that they should play. Chiefly these are: art should only express itself, expressing life and nature makes for bad art, life imitates art more than art imitates life, and that lying is the true aim of art . When applied to his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray these doctrines add an extra layer of meaning to the themes already presented, and this allows for a greater level of understanding. There are several instances during the narrative of the novel which show a relationship between the roles of art and life, and the ways in which they are separated, combined, and reversed. Understanding the theories set out by Vivian helps with comprehending the relationship between Dorian and his portrait, as well as with his friends Lord Henry and Basil Hallward. The Decay of Lying is presented as a slightly confusing and seemingly contradictory essay on the relationship between art and life which treads the border between being sincere and ironic, while The Picture of Dorian Gray is a metaphor infused novel which blurs the lines between art and life as actively as it seeks to separate them. Both writings leave room for speculation...

...have made great changes to people's life,but artists such as musicians painters and writers are still highly valued. What can arts tell us about life that science cannot? Nowadays, the improvement of people’s living standard owes much to advanced technology and science. So, the functions and significance of art are contested by many people. In my point of view, arts can convey some messages that science can never be able to convey. First, it is clear that the arts represent human thoughts, whereas science represents natural order. In other words, the arts lead people to perceive the world while science aims at discovering the nature of things. This means arts is a part of culture and have various forms in different societies, can be give different meanings by different people. By comparison the established theories and principles of science would hardly alter and always be applied to the whole world. So, arts is subjective and can promote people’s creativity and imagination. Moreover, arts can enrich individual’s cultural life. This is because science and technology enhance the social productivity and enrich material wealth, only arts can satisfy their spiritual and emotional needs. For example, the Chinese traditional art forms Beijing Opera and cross-talk have been welcomed by lots of people and brought enjoyment of spirit to them for many years. Last but not least, the arts can sometimes change individual’s attitudes toward life and provide people positive outlets...

...According to Staniszewski, in her article “Believing is seeing”, all art before the past two hundred years is not art. She says that everything, what was made in ancient times, is allocated by our culture and turned into art. I do not agree with her argument because there are many proofs that art in ancient times existed. Also, she says that art is what we can see in galleries, museums and exhibitions. People in ancient periods did not have many chances to present and demonstrate their works to general public therefore some artworks were found as an art only nowadays. Art is an integral part of the life of every state, city, people and me. The word "art" has many definitions, characteristics and features, but each person imagines it in one’s own way. In my opinion, the art - it is a figurative representation of reality, the main goal of which is the communion of man to the beautiful, sensual, interesting and beautiful, sometimes even to the inexplicable and contradictory. I think that movie, painting, architecture and other arts should cause a variety of emotions, feelings and thoughts in the soul and mind of man. Undoubtedly, the same work of art can cause completely opposite feelings in the souls of men. Art is cognition of the cultural and spiritual world; it is the expression of...

...Art History I December 17, 2012 The Influence of Different Religions into the Development of Art The development of the relation of religion to life has been parallel to the development of art. Art always and everywhere has been a medium through which people have sought to express their religious beliefs, or a vehicle through which societies have sought to have their religion represented. Most part of the artworks produced in the past thousand years and more have had a massive religious content, whether, celebrating or representing Biblical narratives or seeking to express a human sense of the divine (Pateman, 1991). Much of it is the work of artists laboring to church commissions - artists who themselves may have had no particular religion and who would execute a religious commission in no different a spirit than a secular one. In the same way, religious art continues to interest and move people who think of themselves as non-believers in the existence of God or the immortality of the soul (Pateman, 1991). Several religious were/are practiced around the globe and the fundaments of these religious can be find and traced through significant artworks of the past that has been exclusively (religiously) committed to pass their beliefs to the next generation trough paintings, sculptures , architecture and etc. Unlike art in modern cultures, most ancient art was not created out of an impulse for self-expression of the artist or as a vehicle for casual entertainment. Instead...

...Do you agree that Pop art is a critique of the values of post-War urban culture in the United States or is there some validity in the arguments that suggest that Pop art is another representation of profit-based propaganda? Select works from two or three artists to examine this question. Pop art was born out of the needs of Post-war America and its capitalist driven economy, where consumption was key and everything was a commodity that had to be readily available. The diversity within the movement arose from how the Pop artists approached this culture of post-war America, whether it was through parody, fetishization, or just pure replication; as well as what aspects of the culture they chose to reflect on. The sheer diversity of themes and styles covered by the various pop artists means that one cannot be too reductive when analysing this art movement. It is therefore with this in mind that this essay will examine just two Pop artists, Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, to examine both artists’ use of commercial methods teamed with images borrowed from popular culture and how they established their own unique technique and style to reflect on the capitalist culture rising in America. Post-war America was a time of great growth and development, as America moved into a position of political and economic leadership, newfound pride in the American way of life and American culture flourished. The economic boom meant newfound freedom for Americans, as having money and freely spending...

...Art is perceived very differently by people and a portrait could be interpreted in many different ways based on the perception of each individual, on how they feel and even the life they live in. Art is portrayed in a canvas, a sculpture, a portrait, ceramic and even glass. To me, you are able to express yourself, express a feeling and even a thought or idea through any form of art. There are many forms of art, for example, music, acting, painting, sketching, sculpting, dancing and reading. Art allows me to express my creativity and run with my ideas that are based on how I feel and what I think. What I notice about art are the colors used, the type of art type that it is done on, and the feelings and expressions that are portrayed. With art, you are able to see it the portraits and feel that the artist trying to portray. In other cases, art is tangible and you are able to feel it and feel what it was like to be there 100 years ago. What makes art so unique from other types of expression is that art is timeless and it is preserved for many decades. It expresses something that is very unique and special but at the same time it is greatly treasured. Any other type of expression fades with time such as clothing styles. With the clothing style, one day your in and the other day you are out. An expression of feeling also fades quickly and is not kept forever such as a tantrum. You might have a tantrum for 3 minutes but after that it is gone and forgotten. There might be other tantrums...

...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...

...Art may come in the form of painting, music, theater, cinema, dance and sculpture. Art is not limited to these categories, but these are the most common. As a child, my first exposure to art was in the form of music. Growing up in Western Kentucky, bluegrass played a large part of my life. My grandfather taught me to play the banjo and guitar starting at the age of 4. I first experienced painting in elementary school beginning in the 1st grade. Cinema has always been a part of my life, but I had not considered it art until I was able to properly define it. I experienced dance in high school while taking an elective ballroom dancing course for a semester. I have experienced theater, but not enough to form an opinion about it. Lastly, sculpture had a small influence when I briefly experimented with it in high school art classes. The most valuable and influential form of art to myself is music. Music has always been a large part of my life. In total, I play 5 instruments. Guitar is the primary instrument I choose to play. My grandfather taught me as a child and I have continued to play every day for many years. I began to perform at a young age in churches and community functions. Later, in high school I started a band with a few other local musicians and we played together for about 4 years. Currently I am in a band composed of all military members; we often play in different small venues in Las Vegas, Nevada. Without music, I would not fell like a complete person. It has played...
