...cultures into one. Globalization has opened many doors but may in fact permanently close others. With the world crossing over goods and services into other countries we are left with borders being blurred. You can see globalization occurring in many aspects of the world today. Art and literature are being affected by this phenomenon. The economic part of globalization has given us good and bad results with other countries. With political and economic tensions at a high, some countries banded together to freely trade goods between them. The General Agreement on Free Trad and Tariffs (GATT) gave way to the World Trade organization. This is seen as one of the most important economic developments in the 20th century. In mid 1990's China was added to the WTO and this was very important. As we start gaining economic standings, we start to merge our cultures together with others. As our cultures twist with others, you start to see the developments of buildings and art that are drastically influenced by many other countries. You can see this more obviously in architecture, however. With many corporations outsourcing jobs to other countries they bring along with them the buildings of their country. With this you start to see the decline in individualistic parts of communities. Globalization can be a great thing but there are some that view it as something horrid. As the internet grew our ability to reach out to many cultures grew as well. We started immersing ourselves into the cultures...

...Should public art, such as graffiti, be protected rather than frowned upon by the community? Graffiti should be protected by the community as most “graffiti’ public arts are created in order for the artist to express themselves. Most artists use these creations in order to get their name out in the art world by expressing themselves and their culture in order for others to come to admire it. Graffiti can also be used to show the community of their city or the world problems. People tend to shun graffiti public arts as a form of vandalism and also blaming gang members for their pieces put up on city structure walls. As an amateur artist you have to start somewhere for your name to be known so many often start by working on building walls, busses, or metro trains where people can see them. Many will judge the artist to be a gang member and disregard the art piece as nothing more than vandalism. They will then remove the artist’s piece which as stated in an article by the Los Angeles Police...

...relieve, as in “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop show us that losing something is not a big deal as she states “the art of losing isn’t hard to master” (Bishop, 1). By this, we can say that death or losing something is the main idea of the two stories. “The Story of an Hour” is very explicit and takes death to a more serious situation where the wife finds out that her husband has been in a mortal accident. “One Art” talks about losing something and talks about the loss of a lover. Grouping these ideas, we can say that the two stories join a special part which is the loss of someone special or a loved one. “Lose something every day” (Bishop, 4). This is the 4th line of the poem. It is telling us that we need to practice to lose something every day, and day by day we will get used to it. The narrator is giving a general idea of how easy it is to lose something. In life people can lose things very easily and in a very silly way. Losing someone, a loved one, can be devastating. This is a way to show how the nature of the world is, how common it is to lose someone and how easy it is to lose something. A woman is told that her husband has been in an accident and that he has died. The loss of her husband turns out to be something no one would have expected. At first, she feels miserable as described in the story; “she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul” (Chopin, 66). After this feeling, she suddenly starts to feel something...

A concept artist is an individual who generates a visual design for an item, characters, or area for game levels i am going to focus on thumbnails but there are more like storyboards and quick illustrations Thumbnails With thumbnails you start by thinking about a character that you would like to produce. like what weapon, body shape and poses that you would like your charter to have. Once that has been decided you can start with some ruff sketches. Image 1 This part of the process is the main creative part as you have what you charter will look like. These images do not have to be clean just a loose guide to show you what they will eventually look like. Chances are that you will probably only like about 2 out off maybe 10 that you make. but you try to illustrate with black lines what direction that the body will take shape.

...Does contemporary art focus on conceptual art is important nowadays? 28 different arts make up what is called contemporary art. Some of which are Burt art, Neo Dadaism, Pop art, Op art, Minimalism, Body art, and Conceptual art among others. These popped up in the 20th century, having as a main trait their uniqueness and authenticity from what was learn or seen in the past. I’m going to focus in Conceptual art. “Conceptual Art emerged during a period of social, political and cultural upheaval in the 1960s. It was a reaction to the perceived constraints of Modernism and the increasing commodification of the art object. Artists sought the means to think beyond the medium-specific aspects of traditional art forms, such as originality, style, expression, craft, permanence, decoration and display, attributed to painting and sculpture. They used language and text to directly disseminate ideas, demystify artistic production and negate visually. Artworks took the form of written statements, declarations, definitions and invitations.” (Moran) After reading several books, I’ve learned that conceptual art is focused in the concept than in the actual object presented to you, meaning that to understand conceptual art you need to understand what the artist is trying to express, so that what you may see may not always be the true meaning of what is trying to be conveyed. “The artist has no control over the way a viewer will perceive the work. Different people will understand the same thing...

...Art is an almost limitless vehicle for expression. It takes a wide variety of forms and is always evolving into new avenues of expression over the centuries. People have used art since the beginning. In prehistoric times cave art was used as a form of storytelling using pictograms. For example, cave people used charcoal to draw onto the roofs of caves. To this day, these drawings depict the hunting of animals and record part of the lives of people long ago. This is an example of one of the first purposes of art as a historical record. Throughout time various cultures would use drawings on tablets, walls, and buildings to depict important events and everyday occurrences. Over time, gradually art took on other roles and forms. For example, in ancient Rome villas would depict pleasant scenery. These murals can still be viewed today in the ruins of Pompeii. In addition, both Rome and Greece used sculptures to celebrate and memorialize the human form. Thus, in ancient times art took a big leap by providing an outlet for self expression and pleasure to its admirers....

...Let’s imagine a world that has been rid of art. Everything would be bland, color and pattern seemingly stripped from our daily lives. Music and dance would not exist, there would be no museums. Advertising would be plain and boring, television would be strictly reality shows, and movies would only be documentaries because the field of theatre wouldn’t exist. Who would want to live in world like that? Art is beautiful and expressive. Every piece of art from paintings to movies each have meaning behind them, conveying something important from its creator’s point of view. Beverly Adams’ Artprize entry “Oh That We Could Shed Our Skin and Begin Again” is a great example of expressive art. Her piece was created to show a longing for a fresh start or a cycle of life through its composition, symbolic expression and an appeal to emotion. Adams’ piece is a two-dimensional canvas painting done with oil paint. Elements include several objects that relate to life in terms of renewal or rebirth. The...

...07/12/14 To Whom It May Concern, Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. That is one of the many quotes which relate to the word art, but this quote relates to what I am here to do. After taking the weekend to visit the Boca Art Museum, I am here to share my experiences with you. Art is something I am fond of and take a great liking to, which could be one of the many reasons as to why I enjoyed looking at the many art displays that were available, or it could also be the relation I share with these artist after spending years taking several art classes back in high school. Art is something that someone can just sit down for a minute and come up with an idea right away, well for most that is. Art is something that takes time, dedication, and effort which is rewarded later on. But these artists go over and beyond, taking their ideas to a whole different level. They envision something, and act upon it, creating something that not everyone could successfully pull off. Every single work of art was unique in it’s own way, but one of the piece managed to truly catch my eye. The title of the work was inflorescence by Bhakti Baxter, which was created back in 2006. The name actually fits this work of art very well, which I found to be rather humorous. Sometimes a name of an art piece can have no relation to what it actually displays, as opposed to those which just state what they want you to see. Inflorescence, by definition, means the complete flower head of a plant...
