...English 1A T/TH 9/7/2014 Food is an Art Food is a real art, a sustainable art, from the way it is prepared to the way it is dished and served. It is an art that all people can learn and love. Charles Simic in “On Food and Happiness” says “the true Muses are cooks” (19). Muses are a source of art and inspiration, and in Greek mythology the nine muses, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, presided over the Arts. I have had many experiences and encounters with food. I found that they all had one thing in common: food is an art to taste and an art to make. Being a waitress for three years I have grown passionate about food and the restaurant industry. I have had the privilege of being able to work in two different fine dining establishments. Both have in common the appreciation for the beauty of food. The cook’s passion for their work was an art in itself. The first restaurant I worked at, Lakeview Restaurant, has glass windows on all sides, and sits the very top of a hill. When looking out you see a view of the entire city and lake. One of the most breath taking views I have yet seen. The dining room is small and intimate, white table clothes on every table, and vases of fresh flowers. To me the only thing more beautiful than the room and the view is the food. The most satisfying feeling being a server is when you set a plate of food in front of someone and they are awed. I can’t tell you how many times I have been yelled at to deliver the food to a table on a busy night...

...Integrate Science and Arts Process Skills in the Early Childhood Curriculum How can early childhood teachers help children think creatively, discover new possibilities, and connect their ideas? Integrate science and the arts in the curriculum! “The greatest scientists are also artists as well.” –Albert Einstein Kathy Morrison Art and science are intrinsically linked—the essence of both fields is discovery. Artists and scientists function systematically and creatively. Their knowledge, understanding, and outcomes are explored in hands-on studios or high-tech labs. In classrooms for all ages, integrating science and the visual arts offer children the latitude to think, discover, and make connections (Alberts, 2011). • Young children are also natural artists (Althouse, Johnson, & Mitchell, 2003). Most are delighted to participate in open-ended art activities, dramatic play, singing, and dancing. Young children paint, sculpt, sing, or dance in their own unique ways. They want to be involved in the visual and performing arts, to try new things, and to experiment with the familiar (Pinciotti, 2001). For young children, the process in science and art is much more important than whatever product may result (Stivers & Schudel, 2008). The fundamental science process skills for early childhood are to • • • • • observe, communicate, compare, measure, and organize (Sarquis, 2009). Art and science are intrinsically linked. Scientists and artists typically observe life from...

...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....

...Art History What is art? Art is everything, its human’s way of creative expression. Every person has a different perspective on what art is. Art takes all different forms such as music, poetry, food, painting, graffiti and photography. It can be human made or produced by nature. A simple painting on canvas is what comes to mind for most when asked about art, but it is far more complex then that. Graffiti is a form of art that we see all the time when we go to the city or just driving in our cars. Many people do not consider this an art form because they don’t know who made it and graffiti is associated with vandalism and crime. The people that did graffiti murals on the walls of community housing in Philadelphia they are professional artists that view their murals as they’re from of artistic expression. Music is another form of art. Every person make art with music such as singing a song in your car on the way to school or a street performer playing music on the corner. Instead of painting they put their art in words by the way of songs. The artist spend months even years putting an album together going over every last detail to make sure it is perfect but it is the art of practicing that got them to be the successful artist that they are. To experience this form of art you have to hear it instead of interpreting it with you eyes. Photography is another from of art that is extremely subjective to the person taking the picture. These days everyone is a photographer we...

...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...

...The Artist, David Gerard, created a marvelous art piece called The Rest on Flight into Egypt. The painting was crafted in 1510. The artwork depicts a “holy family” that emerged from a forest on the way to Egypt. The mother is holding baby Jesus while the father/husband, Joseph, gathers food. (The actual portrait shows the mother breast feeding the child, however that is not school appropriate.) The art piece was also inspired by the bible verse (Matt. 2:13-14) This specific biblical verse explains how an angel was sent from god to Joseph. The angel explains how Joseph must help get the mother and child to Egypt because Herod is out to murder the child. David Gerard was born 1460. The town he originated from was Oudewater, Netherlands, which...

...The Culture of African Art The vast country of Africa is well-known for its unique and beautiful culture and traditions. Some categories of the ancient African culture are clothing, food, music, and most of all, their stunning artwork. A few of the African art styles are weaving, beading, and pottery. In Africa, art is how they express their emotions, which is something that other countries should adopt from them. Art is sacred to them, which should be shown in other parts of the world and by more people. The African culture recognizes that art brings people together, no matter how different they are. Weaving originated about 6000 years ago in Egypt, which is in the North part of Africa. This skill has been around for 6000 years, and is...

...Paleolithic Art Art has existed with human for longer than we are aware of. Art defines what make us not only just another species, but human. Tracing back to the origin of human art, we refer to Paleolithic art which was in the Late Upper Paleolithic period. Art was originated along with other inventions such as tools and weapons in this period. The Art of the Upper Paleolithic is among the oldest art known (Wikipedia, 2015). It is understood that art during this period has certain characteristics in which the art itself greatly involved things such as food, fertility, ritual, or even abstract thinking. There were mainly two kinds of art for the Art of the Upper Paleolithic, which are portable and stationary. Portable art from this period was small and mobile, consisting of figurines and decorated objects. Great examples of...

...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...

One of the major sources of unhappiness in humanity is judgment. There is of course invaluable forms of judgment but to understand how judgment makes people unhappy we must first define it in a negative social context. Judgment is an open expression of one’s opinionative dislike of a particular action or expression of another. Specifically, the forms of judgment that make people unhappy are “unprovoked,” “unconstructive” or “un-inquired judgments.” Judgment, when dealt through harsh arbitrary opinions, inspires fear in everyone. When judged, people think twice about being their authentic selves, attempting to do something right the second time, and generally feel hurt. One can understand how these situations...

...on what really art means. Some of them defined art as a “skill” and was derived from the Latin word “ars”. Over the years, the actual meaning of Art has changed. In medieval times, it was used to refer only to “liberal arts” as a field of education for free men. But then, no one of this really gives the exact definition of art. We will try to define art in our own way and understanding. Art is a complex ad effective means of expression of thoughts and emotions of people in a society. We say it complex because it is actual nor it is abstract. Art is a way of reflecting a particular culture and traditions. It is a source of understanding what a community is. We say a particular object an art when there is a certain characteristic that comes to our mind the first time we saw it, either the design used or the point that the artist wants to convey or the connection of that to the artist. Art is a strong motivator because it is also the road of developing our social skills and imaginations. Art provides another way of expressing and connecting with our peers through our personal growth and experience. Our present day life is not at all different. When we take a look at the kitchen wares, the plates, spoon, the food packaging, the jeepney and buses, the structure of a building, the chairs and tables and even a simple thing in our surroundings, we say that art pervades almost everything around us. The illustration below represents what art really is. That kind of art was taken at Hiraya...

...This image is of an art piece which was published in a Russian news article in 1915. As characterized by the empty food baskets, axe wielding women, and the destruction of merchant booths, the purpose of this rendition was to illustrate the reasoning behind and violent nature of the women's subsidence riot of 1915. In regards to the origin and the purpose, the value of this image is that historians can gain insight into the typically hateful sentiment of the peasantry towards the empires failure to distribute food. With reference to the context this image has two primary sources of value. First, in observing the image a historian can gain evidence of the tensions between the working and upper class prior to the 1917 revolution. Furthemore,...
