Art can mean many different things; it can be defined as an expression through poetry or music, it can be defined as the skills that a person has in the workforce, it can be considered as part of worship and rituals and then art can be of visual delight such as a photograph, painting, or sculpture.

...Unit 1 Individual Project Art Appreciation AIU Online June 16, 2013 Abstract There are many different definitions for the word art. Most of them come down to art being a creative skill. After researching the definition I have written a brief description of several forms of art by the definitions of art. I spent hours researching art and all the different art forms. I found several definitions beginning with our text book, An Introduction to the Visual Arts and it defines “art as a visual expression of an idea or experience, formed with skill, through the use of a medium.” (Preble, 2011) It also states that art is larger than any single definition. The next definition I found was from the Oxford Dictionary. ”Definition of art [noun] the expression or application of human creative skills and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” (Oxford Dictionary, nd) The Wikipedia definitions is as follows,” art is a diverse range of human activities and the product 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. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential...

...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...

...If we take into account the ideological nature of Art, we would observe how images serve the interest of some and not all members of society. We would also discover that ideological art attempts to establish a link between art and political courses of action in order to secure complete domination. In John Bergers book, “Ways of Seeing”, he explains that his essential aim for putting together this manuscript was to start a process of questioning about how we look, interpret and judge images (Art). I believe his urge to initiate this process of questioning is because he wants people to being, “truly understanding art”, not based off of the interpretation of a select few but from their own personal prospective. In other words, Berger does not want us to be told what to see within a work of art, but he wants us to discover ourselves within that masterpiece. In a way, Berger gives us the definition of beauty in art. Not by standard definition but by exposing us to the fact that beauty is not defined by what we are told but it is defined by what we perceive. As Berger continued, I deduced that he believes, the ruling class deliberately exploits art as a repressive tactic and tool, in order to create a culture of isolation. He also introduces statistical data proving that many people identify museums with the church. So here we have a house of worship and a secular institution dedicated to art. A house of worship is a specifically designed edifice or consecrated space where groups...

Symptoms tend to emerge between the ages of two or three 1 in 68 American children are on the autism spectrum Autism is associated with intellectual disability, issues with motor coordination and attention Other characteristics often associated with autism are: resistance to environmental change and / or change in daily routine unusual responses to sensory experiences In some cases, those with autism excel in math, art, and music Deaf-Blindness Deaf and blindness are impairments in hearing or an impairment of sight. It can also be a combination of the two. This impairment often restricts access to communication, the environment, and people.

...Reflection of the Visual Learner: Self-Assessment and Reflection Paper. Vivian Hamilton August 16, 2014 Professor: Jon Vernon Com/516 Personal Learning Style “Vision is the art of seeing the invisible” quoted by Johnathan Swift. I am a visual thinker. This learning style is personal to me because not only do I process given information visually I perceive everything as a visual learner. The ability to gain knowledge from information that is observed and not “read” in the conventional sense is defined as visual literacy (Wood, Stover, Pilonieta, & Taylor, 2012).A visual learner is defined as someone who views concepts, data, and other information through visual images or models. A visual learner has a very unique style of learning. My personal learning style is like the work of a painter. I am able to take words and create a mental image of those words just like a painter would construct a work of art. In the end I can visualize the information like a perfectly painted picture. Strengths of a Visual Learner A visual learner can be most beneficial in the classroom and can provide a plethora of ideas to contribute within a group of other learners. For example as a visual learner I prefer to work with a group of learners whose learning styles are different than mine. An auditory learner has the ability to talk through a problem or a concept while myself on the other hand can visualize or model how the final product will look. Another strength of a visual learner like...

...Running head: WHAT IS ART? Understanding Art: Eight Forms of Art Quantella Rivers Bradley American InterContinental University Abstract This paper will define art using internet and resource tools. Given eight types of art define and give one example and elaborate. 1. Painting 2. Sculpture 3. Architecture 4. Photography 5. Printmaking 6. Conceptual Art 7. Installation Art 8. Performance Art Art is interpreted by each individual differently, what you may see, I may see something else. What the artist put on canvas or sculpts describes their feeling at that particular moment, however once again the observer may choose to feel or describe something different. “What Is Art” Dictionary.com defines art as the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance and also the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings. (Dictionary.com, 2010) This definition is two of twenty-two definitions defined on the online dictionary. The two definitions were selected because it related to the subject at-hand. Merriam-Webster online defines art as the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects; also as works so produced. Artists use paintings as a form of communication; whether the painting is elaborate or just a mere scribble...

...Introduction to Art and Art Forms Elizabeth Golden AIU Online Abstract This paper discusses various definitions of art. This discussion includes one example with description for eight different art forms. The art forms examined are paintings, sculptures, architecture, photography, printmaking, conceptual art, installation art, and performance art. Introduction to Art and Art Forms Art comes in many different forms, and is defined in many different ways. Art has the ability to make a person feel a certain way. Art can inspire, beautify, or devastate a person’s view of an object or experience. It is a creative expression of someone’s conscience. Skills, imagination, experience, and creativity are all involved in the various forms of artwork. Definition of Art Each and every person in the world defines art in their own unique way. According to the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia (2012), art is created visually, through ability or creativity. Imagination paves the way to the ability to create artwork. The Crystal Reference Encyclopedia (2005) simply defines art as skill. Everyone has a skill that he or she can do well; most of these skills can be portrayed as art. Making shelves, welding, painting, and tattooing are all a form of art. The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia (2013) states art is, “all the processes and products of human skill, imagination, and invention.” Technological creations, recipes...

...Definition of Art According to Oxford Dictionary Art is defined as: “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power” Another definition of art by George Dickie in 1969, as “A work of art in the classificatory sense is (1) an artifact (2) a set of the aspects of which has had conferred upon it the status of candidate for appreciation by some person or persons acting on behalf of a certain social institution” (Torres & Kamhi) Painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is one of Van Gogh’s most renowned paintings. Van Gogh painted Starry Night shortly after a stint in a psychiatric hospital. It is one of the most replicated images in history. The features of this painting, the stars, moon and village beyond are a bit embellished, but still very realistic and most people feel at ease and can identify with it. Thomas Kinkade is one of my most favorite artists; one of his most renowned pieces is called A Christmas Welcome. This painting shows a small country home with warmth coming from it. It gives the observers a Welcoming feeling of wanting to go inside and join in the festivities. Sculpture The Hermes of Praxiteles is dated back to 343 BC and made from Parian Marble. The Hermes is the only original work still intact. This statue was sculptured by Praxiteles and “dedicated to the sacred Altis from the Eleians...

...The Eight Types of Art Carita Dauer Art Appreciation HUMA 205-1202B Unit 1 IP Abstract In this paper I will explain the difference between eight types of art. These forms of art include: painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, printmaking, conceptual art, installation art, and performance art. I will then give a specific example of each form of art type to better explain each of them. The Eight Types of Art When a person tries to look up the word “Art” in the dictionary, it can be very difficult to find a clear definition of the word. There are many definitions for art, but these include various areas of art such as pop art, or modern art and not just art by itself. So with that being said the best definitions I found are as follows. Art is a visual form of human expression that can be applied to many subjects which engenders, by intent or otherwise, aesthetic and/or intellectual appreciation (Clarke, 2012). Art can also be classified as all of the processes and products of human skill, imagination, and invention. When the term is referring to a contemporary piece of art, the definitions of art usually reflect art theory and include music, drama, painting, and sculpture types (Art, 2010). Performance Art is defined as a dramatic presentation given by visual artists, such as actors or dancers. They generally perform in front of audiences, but not in a formal theatrical setting (Frank, 2011). The example I found of this type of art would be the ballet...

...STUDY HABITS OF 4TH YEAR STUDENTS A research proposal presented To the Department of English and Literature College of Arts and Sciences Lyceum of the Philippines - Manila In partial fulfillment of ENGN 12A July 2012 CHAPTER I Introduction Study habits, in general, can be simply defined as the ability of an individual to comprehend information in order to fully understand and maximize the capacitance of learning in which it became a demand to our society. It does not only limit itself to students often going to school to master and memorize the concepts/lessons he/she has acquired from their teachers, but it does apply on every field of work. However, the problem that several universities have in common with their students is that almost 1/2 of the total population from different departments suffer from failure and repetition of grades indicating lack of proper training and communication. This phenomenon until now continues to be the number one dilemma for students especially when confronting their worse, feared, or even so-called “hated” subjects. Students are also more likely to fear and feel more anxiety when it comes to quizzes and examinations regardless of a subject’s difficulty. Failing grades either indicate the laziness of a student, poor study habit, or the environment that usually affects his/her mental state. Another factor that emphasizes the importance of study habits is the stress levels of the students depending on whether they can handle demanding...

...A strategic plan is essential in the production of a school. I once heard that it is “the road map for success.” A school cannot function properly without a strategic plan in place that allows all stakeholders the opportunity of awareness on all standpoints. Within a strategic plan, there are many components. They include the school’s vision and mission, strategies that meet the needs of the stakeholders, descriptions of the curriculum and instructional programs, the School Profile, and the school’s role in the larger community. ISLLC 2008 Standard 1: An education leader promotes the success of every student by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by all stakeholders and ISLLC 2008 Standard 3: A school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by ensuring management of the organization, operations, and resources for a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment both frame the plan in which I will develop. (Green, 2008 pgs.6,10-11) Background Pleasantville High School has about 1000 students. This school is located in a rural area where 75 percent of the students are Hispanic, 23 percent are Black, and 2 percent are Caucasian.
