...William George Butcher ENG 150 February 12, 2015 Journal Entry One Art Discuss the use of repetition in any of this week’s poems Elizabeth Bishop was an awardwinning American poet, whose life spanned from 1911 to 1979. During her life she received the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the honor of being named Poet Laureate of the United States. She wrote in a time that was heavily influenced by the Great Depression as well as two world wars and it shows in her work as she’s able to very clearly express the idea of loss in several of her pieces of works. “One Art” is no exception as Bishop is able to relate quite eloquently to her audience, how it feels to go through great loss. This allows readers of current day to travel back and gain perspective and feeling similar to that of this postworld war time period. Bishop is able to capture the reader’s attention and hold their focus by her consistent and bountiful use of repetition as it relates to meter, rhyme and parallel structure. The structure of “One Art” is quite interesting and complex, even though when read allowed has a conversational feel to it. It takes the form of a Villanelle, which is a specific poem structure composed of nineteen lines divided up into six stanzas. The first five stanzas have three lines while the sixth has four, allowing for emphasis on the final line as it is the first time in the work that the pattern is broken, naturally giving it significance and drawing ...

...Art ‘I was interested in ideas – not merely in visual products. I wanted to put [art] once again at the service of the mind’ (Marcel Duchamp). Discuss with reference to ONE of Duchamp’s art works. “The readymade can be seen as a sort of irony, because it says here it is, a thing that I call art, I didn’t even make it myself” (Ades and Cox et al., 1999: 151). Most of Marcel Duchamp’s “readymades” are the representatives of this ideology, the most controversial and distinguished one is “Fountain” definitely, which is a urinal in Society of Independents Artists Exhibition in New York in 1917 (Nesbit, 1994). After this exhibition, the debate was initiated to argue what was art and what was not. This essay will first consider how Marcel Duchamp challenged the concept of art with Fountain and secondly, will evaluate the significance of Fountain, to demonstrate the worth of Fountain as one of the most significant art works in 20th century. There are numerous understandings of what art is. The definition of art from Oxford Dictionary is “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture” (Oxford Dictionaries). However, this is a traditionary explanation about art. It has no longer apply to the modern art in various aspects. Since the Dadaism movement started in Europe in early 20th century, anti-art works had been prevalent among the modern artists. The art theory had an enormous transformation during...

...Losing can be a disaster In order for one to understand “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop her opening lines, “The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster” (lines 1-3) provide the foundation for the whole poem. Due to the fact that there are so many things that are intended to be lost it shouldn’t seem so disastrous when they are truly lost, but somehow it still is a disaster The irony of this statement is shown by the combination of both the opening as well as the closing lines of the poem. In the opening lines it seems to say that when something follows in its natural path, its intent, it’s no longer qualified as a disaster and shouldn’t be viewed as a disaster. However, in the poems closing lines which state, “Even losing you…Its evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster” (lines 16-19), are defiantly contradicting with the opening lines. I believe this is because the narrator is trying to convince themselves that the truth of the paradox is not a disaster to loose someone if that person intended to be lost. The progression of increased value of “things” lost continues to contribute to the poem’s paradoxical meaning by beginning with items of little value such as “time, places, and names, and even lost door keys,” eventually increasing to things of a greater value such as “mothers watch, houses, cities, rivers, and even an entire continent...

...Irritations with Losing In Elizabeth Bishop’s “One Art,” she shows her irritation and exasperation for what she loses and would have to find. Bishop uses diction, figurative language, and imagery to express her bitter frustration with the world that she seems to be losing in. Bishop’s unique word choice and representation of her views on losing belongings, demonstrates her resentment towards losing and the easiest art to master, losing. First, Bishop’s usage of diction has depicted her bitterness of losing items whether ordinary or unique. “so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss in no disaster” makes clear that her depiction of the “art of losing” as items to be likely of being lost and is no surprise if it were...

...Explication: Elizabeth Bishop's poem “One Art” was published years after her death in 1994. There are six three-line stanzas in this poem. The first stanza provides the entire poem with a rhyme scheme consisting of two rhymes, which are rhyme A and rhyme B. The poem begins boldly with rhyme A, “the art of losing isn't hard to master”, stating that some materialistic things are just made to be lost so losing them would not be such a big deal. Bishop then continues with rhyme B, “so many things seem filled with the intent” (1-2). Throughout the poem, some lines will either rhyme with “master” and some will rhyme with “intent” following a specific rhyme scheme. The second stanza states, that people, “lose something every day”, whether it is...

...Throughout the short 1980 poem “One Art,” writer Elizabeth Bishop approaches the topic of loss with a whimsical, almost satirical mood. She speaks of lost car keys in stanza two, then we see a rapid decline in the “funniness” of the lost items. In stanza three Bishop speaks of losing names, homes, and dreams, all things that people consider dear and try hard to hold onto. In stanza four Bishop talks of losing a precious heirloom, and property that she owned. This stanza suggests that the speaker is in some sort of financial down spiral, but is still speaking with the same light intonation. Stanza six goes yet a step further, and the speaker writes that she has lost whole countries, whole realms that once belonged to her, most likely in a metaphorical...

...Visual Arts 2 Kashata Warren Arts/230 October24,2011 Regina Sadona Visual Arts 2 “Visual Arts are those creations one can literally look at, such as a drawing or a sculpture.”(Visual Arts.com,) One may think of a design or a collage and call it art. Many people visualize art to be a number of creative things. This is why it is so important. During a certain point and time back in history, a group of artist and fine people decided the need to differentiate science and art. “They begin to split up fine Arts into Visual Arts (painting, sculpture, etc.), Auditory Arts (music, drama, spoken literature) and Performance Arts (which can be either Visual, Auditory or a combination of two-but are performed.” (www.arthistory.com,) Introducing a few different “Visual Arts “ which were mentioned earlier in the essay “paintings, sculptures, etc.”(www.arthistory.com) “John Ahearnand and RigobertoTorres’s sculpture “Pat” (1982). “(Sayne, 2010) is a good example of a visual art sculpture. One example of a visual art painting is “Pablo Picasso’s Seated Batter,1930.”(Sayne,2010) Introducing an example of Auditory Art would be “Neo-Classical 5 “(celestical-voices.blogspot.com/2010/04/neo-classical-2010.htm/). Introducing an example of Performance Arts is “The John Oats Band” (performing arts.utf.edu/events/2011/the john-oats-band/. When focusing on art another way one can show their ideas and feelings is through creative expressions. “Creative expressions are forms...

...“A well-rounded education is simply too vital to our students’ success to let the teaching of the arts and humanities erode.” -Secretary Duncan When thinking about the arts, including that of performing arts and music, we tend to glide over the subjects, and term it as a good “hobby,” and not something that can shape and mold a person into someone the community can benefit off of. Many have found these arts to be therapeutic, and a good way to escape from the temptations of doing wrong. In turn, the community itself has had an advantage. The streets are clear from loitering, theft, vandalism etc, and now are looking at a better community in which the individuals, who make up part of it, are actively trying to improve the community and not to harm it. The individual themselves, has become more aware of themselves and of those around them. They have become more appreciative of the arts, and understand different subjects better than individuals who have not been exposed to the arts. Art as it is now is still as beautiful as it was back in the renaissance time period. The only thing that has changed is the importance of it. It is also the first thing one may think of when referring to the “arts.” Although there are many different forms of art, the visual drawing is just as important as the different branches. Art has the ability through different Medias, but as murals especially to tell someone who is not familiar...

...(Walm)Art Imagine a world without art, a bleak and endless expanse of emotionless sorrow with no color nor feelings. War is always on the horizon, while death is an even more common occurrence than birth, A place where art is not as common an occurrence as breath filling the lungs of the oppressed. What was just explained was a form of art an image was painted in your imagination. The Parameters and standards for what we, as a society, consider art are constantly shifting and expanding. Trying to define such “art” to where it pleases all is like trying to nail water to a tree. Using mere words to describe such a magnificent human trait is an impossible task. However one may deliver a valid argument on what art is. Art is as natural to the human mind as thinking. Art is not merely a visual and physical representation of an idea; Art is mental representation of ideas and emotion. Art is what we as people, with independent minds, interpret of human ideas and Creations that display emotion. Art is not merely what the artist conveys it is what the viewer interprets the artwork to be. What you see is what you get is not the case with all art. Art is not a mere image; art is a thought and a feeling. While the Creator does have intentions and an idea on what his work should display, the way the viewer interprets the art using their current feelings and thoughts can completely redefine the artwork itself and this process in itself is an art. For example a creator may make a painting...

...Video games are a rising venture in the entertainment industry. Thought to have been started in 1972 with a game known as Pong, video games have been improved on and polished until modern times and continue to increase in quality. “Video Games Can Never Be Art”, a blog post written by Roger Ebert, poses the argument that Video games will never evolve to the point where they could be considered an art. This argument does not possess an easy answer. To answer the argument with either an agreement or a reasonable disagreement, the term art must first be defined. Defining what can and cannot be art turns out to be quite a difficult task however. Throughout history, art has common aspects that go into its creation: passion and creativity. Video games are a pastime yes, but if they possess the same aspects that are included in artwork, I believe they too can be considered a form of art....

...many students do you know take a class in the arts department? Schools typically have classes set for students who are ingenuine and creative. These subjects can include: studio art, graphic design, drama, and music. Although for most schools it is not a requirement, most students tend to pick a class in the arts department. However, some students think that all students should be required to take a class in the arts. Schools should not require students to take a class in the arts department because one can have difficulties excelling in certain subjects, some students may show interest in the arts and can be a waste of time, and it would add up onto the standard graduation requirements. Core subjects alone can be difficult for many students; therefore, students become stressed and confused. Not everyone has certain talents to excel in these subjects and adding on creative arts to the matter would make a big mess. Students should not be required to take a class in...

...What is art? Art can be any thing u see, feel, hear, or do. It can be the buildings downtown, the paintings or sculptures in a museum, it can be the clothes u wear and how u wear them to the style of hair cut you have. Each individual has different views of what art is, or how he or she view different pieces of art. People use art to express their emotions about life or state their views or feelings about a specific issue in life. One piece of art may mean one thing to the artist and many other things to the rest of the people in the world. Art is what u see around you every day. Art is filled with people’s imaginations, and without imagination you would not have art and the world would be one big dull boring place. Art is also filled with people’s emotions and those emotions are what make some art pieces so real to its viewers and make people feel emotions of their own. Art is about our history and the stories it holds. Art can be used as an educating tool or for advertising tools and just for personal decoration even for spiritual reasons. In the art book we have by Patrick Frank the artist Chaz Maviyane-Davis displays his painting with a man blowing fire on the earth, stating his views that people are destroying the earth and creating global warming. One of my favorites when I was a kid is the famous Dr. Suese book with funny and colorful pictures that go along with the stories rhymes. These books teach kids how to read and also how to put words together to make rhymes...

...bright, contrasting colors simply have no right to be on the same canvas as one another, let alone create the image of a movie icon. Yet this was the whole point of Andy Warhol’s, Marilyn, painted in 1967. Breaking away from tradition, this was one of many portraits Andy painted in his artistic lifetime, and a prime example of the ever so popular movement called Pop Art. Not only did he start a movement, but as he became more and more well known, Warhol broke down boundaries, creating the art world we have today. Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, Andrew Warhola lived a simple life. Youngest...
