...Performing and Visual Arts Lauren Lorenzo Arts/100 8-7-13 Joseph Blomer Performing and Visual Arts Visual and Performing arts are two different ways of expressing art. Visual performing to me is art that is seen in paintings and materials, rather than performing arts is more of an expression artist use in their own ways through their bodies. In this weeks reading I learned different ways that art could be used. It can be used through symbols, which a perfect example would be a cross. Many people do not notice that wearing a cross as a necklace is art, and I think that is pretty neat. Also that art can give visible form to feelings, just be seeing a piece of art you can see the emotion and feeling that is in it. Art is something that has been around for so long that even in the ice age they had art that would be done in the caves by what they think was done with the ashes of the fire. Things like that become part of history and are very interesting because you wonder how they did it back then. Which also artifacts are another form of art from back then that become history just because of where the art was done. I have do not know much of visual arts , but I do enjoy music, all sorts of music. And it never really accrued to me that music is art also. I do find myself on the creative side, and find art interesting but I have never put much attention into it. The value of studying the visual and performing arts is that you get to learn a lot about life and history and about...

...Willard High School visual and performing arts departments have come together to help students explore their purpose and identity. Kendra Chappell, Theater Director, applied for and was granted a Placeworks Grant to coincide with their production of the musical Pippin. The purpose of this grant is to provide growth and learning opportunities to rural area students through the arts. Both visual and performing arts students were thrilled to participate in the intense days of learning that followed.

...Performing and Visual Arts ART/100 November 21, 2012 Larry Wayland Performing and Visual Arts There are many forms of art. The exercise of visual arts can be displayed in drawings, sculptures, photos, architecture designs, and anything that can be seen by the eye. Nature in its purist form is highly functional in design and deference. An artist does not have to be famous to create a beautiful piece of art, artiste are mostly misunderstood people who choose to show how they feel through his or her art piece (Fazenda,1997). The Romanian-born sculptor, Constantin Brancusi stated “Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until you see them. Those closest to God have seen them (Brezianu, 1965).” The artistic castigations of the viewer bring life to the work and are often welcomed by the creator. The open flow of communications for or against is often used to promote the art piece or the artist. The performing arts are a form where the artists use his or her voice or body to share creative expression with the world. Often performing arts are not viewed as art forms because of the lack of a solid tangible product following the performance. Just as an artist paints on a canvas or a sculptor forms an object from a stone or wood, the dancer or singer places his or herself into the performance (Fazenda,1997). Another form of art is theatre, through the use of speeches, gesturing, sound, and music, the...

...of Visual and Preforming Arts The Arts have been around, as long as man has had imagination. They define humans as a species, recording history, defining the present, and pursuing the future. The Arts encompasses many meanings. What one person views as art, another may view as worthless expressionism. Exploring this subject will cause one to open their horizons to enable one to see the world from a different perspective. Defining visual and performing arts. Visual and performing arts have evolved over the centuries. Originally the arts were limited to the fine arts, such as paintings, sculpture, music, theater, and dance. It also included the cinema in the twentieth century. Applied arts were considered decorative not expressive and was excluded in the definition of art (Sporre, 2011). To myself, art is a myriad of things, visual perception, and emotion. My experiences in the Arts. I find art has many forms. Visual art can be found everywhere. It is in the architecture around us such as the mantel in an ornate fireplace to the buildings created by an architect such as Frank Lloyd Wright (Steffensen, 2009). It is found in the drawing a small child makes to the masterpieces of Michelangelo found in the cathedrals of Europe. It may be viewed by one as the simple elegance found in a crystal vase, to the sculptures found in the Great Pyramids. Nature is another place to find art, from the simplest flower to the intricacies of a wasp nest. The performing arts have...

...Visual and Performing Arts Defined Have you ever been to a Kenny Chesney concert, or watched a high school marching band in the homecoming parade? Have you ever been to the theater to see a live performance of the Sound of Music? Have you ever been in New York city, only to have missed your chance to see Grease on Broadway by minutes and as a substitution stumble upon the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular? If you have done any of those or even anything similar you have witnessed an array of visual art and probably danced, cried or became completely overjoyed by the performance that you saw. According to Sporre (2011) the definition of performing arts can be defined as, "the arts, such as dance, theatre, and music that are performed before an audience (pp. 250). Sitting in the audience watching the actors bring a movie to life right in front of you for the first time is something that cannot be described easily by anyone. It is something that you feel on the inside and then the outside responds. If you have ever been to Disney's California Adventure and watched their theatrical production of Aladdin you know the look that is on the outside. It can be seen on all of the adults and children alike who have never seen a musical production. The children and adults are singing along and laughing. They have huge smiles on their faces. Often people will think that their kids would not be entertained for the entire show, but it captivates everyone; that is performance art....

...Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Humanities are academic disciplines that study human culture, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative, and having a significant historical element, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural sciences. The humanities include ancient and modern languages, literature, philosophy, religion, and visual and performing arts such as music and theatre. The humanities that are also sometimes regarded as social sciences include history, anthropology, area studies, communication studies, cultural studies, law and linguistics. Art Appreciation is having the knowledge, background, and understanding of the universal and timeless qualities that comprise. It is an emotional enjoyment of the extensive study of the humanities.

...------------------------------------------------- Creative art and Fine art . By a broad definition of art,[9] artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind: from early pre-historic art to contemporary art; however, some theories restrict the concept to modern Western societies.[10] The first and broadest sense of art is the one that has remained closest to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft." A few examples where this meaning proves very broad include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts. However, there are many other colloquial uses of the word, all with some relation to its etymology. The second and more recent sense of the word art is as an abbreviation for creative art or fine art and emerged in the early 17th century.[13] Fine art means that a skill is being used to express the artist's creativity, or to engage the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of the finer things. The word art can refer to several things: a study of creative skill, a process of using the creative skill, a product of the creative skill, or the audience's experience with the creative skill. The creative arts (art as discipline) are a collection of disciplines that produce artworks (art as objects) that are compelled by a personal drive (art as activity) and convey a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (art as experience). Art is something that stimulates an individual's...

The lesson surrounds a theme on transportation in which Kindergarten students will learn about the different forms of transportation in the present and in the past. The plan spans over a week and involves the children’s imaginations, physical abilities, community awareness, and requires them to work and share with their peers in order to accomplish a task. It also accesses prior knowledge of names of vehicles which the students have been learning about in the prior week. Although the content areas are distinct from each other many of the lessons are connected as they share the same concept. Student will learn how to express and explain a concept in different ways. Performance, physical fitness, posters, and using new vocabulary are all tools that students will gain from their participation in the week’s lessons.

...HOW ART ENHANCES LEARNING According to Webster’s dictionary, art can be defined as a range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing arts which expresses the author’s imaginative or technical skill. This imaginative or technical skill is intended to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power. Art is an example of a hobby which in its own way enhances learning and in this paper, we will discuss the different types of art which include visual art, fine art, music, dance and theatre. According to Tyler and Likova (2012), visual arts which is the oldest form of art, can be defined as art forms such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, filmmaking and architecture. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential in a way that they usually are not in painting. Visual art learning is reliant on a complex system of perceptual, higher cognitive, and motor functions, thus suggesting a shared neural substrate and strong potential for cross-cognitive transfer in learning and creativity (Tyler and Likova, 2012). The ability to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty during the creative process is an important mental trait. The tolerance for ambiguity is also an important attribute in the...

...To best serve the students in Task Force County School District, both the Total School Cluster Grouping Model and cluster grouping should be utilized. The school district is dedicated to providing services in the areas of intellectual and academic pursuits, as well as the visual and performing arts. I believe that implementation of both the TSCGM and cluster grouping will be necessary to accomplish this task. The TSCGM uses locally normed test data in reading and mathematics to suggest inclusion in the high-achieving cluster, thus this model is best of providing services to encourage and grow the intellectual and academic needs and talents of students. The school district’s definition of giftedness specifically states that “all children have the opportunity to work at a level of challenge that promotes continuous academic growth”. The TSCGM does this by using approaches typically found in gifted education programs to improve the achievement and performance of all students in a school, and simultaneously addresses the needs of gifted students (Gentry & Fugate, p.213). With this model, students identified as gifted, or high-achieving, will be normed and clustered in relation to other students in their school, and the school district is prepared to provide services for students generally scoring in the top 10% when compared to students of similar age, experience, and environment. The school district also requires that students receive services in “increasing challenge” and...
