...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...

...Visual Art Anthony Rega ARTS/230 July 19, 2014 Monique Derr Visual Art Visual art is appreciated by more than just the artsy type. Visual art is an expression of creativity, communication, and beauty. Many other forms of art also express creativity, but Visual art differentiates from these forms in that it also serves other purposes, such as communication and is left open to interpretation. The value of visual art goes beyond the price tag on it. Visual art has been valued by cultures for recording traditions. There are many influences on how visual art is interpreted. Visual Art Depending on the style or form, art can be appreciated by every viewer. “Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.” (Godard, 2014). Within the brain, humans have two lobes, one controlling the left side of the body, the right lobe, which is considered to be the logic side, and one controlling the right side of the body, the left lobe, which is considered to be the creative side. With that being said, everyone has a creative side. Regardless of the ability to express creativity, everyone is influenced by it. Visual art is a general form of art that covers art that is physically seen, such as Paintings, Sculptures, and Photography. Human beings are visual beings, if someone says “big, black dog” we do not visualize the spelling of the words, but we conceive the physical attributes of a big, black dog in our mind. However, visual art does the opposite, it conceives the...

...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...

...Describe how lines are used for visual effect in artwork. All lines mark a visual path between two points, leading the eye around a composition and serving as the base that constructs a work of art. However, artistic lines differ in an infinite variety of ways, not just varying in width, length, or direction, but also in shape, pattern, outline, depth and texture. They can convey an enormous range of emotions - everything from delicate, tentative elegance to brutal, forceful power. Additionally, expressive lines create emphasis, and can either definitively outline or merely suggest shapes, evoke movement, imply solid mass, create shadows, show distance and demonstrate depth. List the types of lines that artists use in your submission....

It provides an escape and connects to something that brings peace to an experience that is real. At a very young age I was introduced to the visual and performing arts. My mother introduced me to dance both modern and tap, the trumpet and guitar. None of them really spoke to my soul because I did not spend time developing the skill. Due to funding constraints, I could not participate daily. However, I wonder now if I had continued learning would I still be interested today. I wish I had that opportunity. It is believed that exposing young children to the visual and performing arts will help facilitate create and aesthetic thinking. The value of studying the visual and performing arts are unlimited.

...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....

...Visual arts classes are crucial to kindergarten through 12th grade students because they allow students a break from academic classes and offer them a period of creative freedom allowing them to relieve stress from school. Some kids simply don’t enjoy music or digital art classes, such as photography, because they typically do not have the opportunity to express themselves through their assignments. In many small town high schools, those classes are kids’ only options. Although music and digital arts are both arts classes, visual arts classes do not focus on competition or perfection, leading to less stress and more creative freedom for the students. As example of how art classes have affected students, Alvord ISD is a school that did not offer a visual arts class until the first semester of 2014. They had even planned to drop the class at the end of last school year due to the instructor’s resignation. Even though the instructor, Krissi Oden, was resigning, she understood the importance of art class in the lives of the Alvord ISD students. She contacted the school board to convince them to keep the class. To many people’s surprise, they kept the class but only offered two levels of it. There were quite a few...

...Wayne White “ Beauty is Embarrassing” Originality is the key element in art. History has taught us that the world is in a constant change and that art is a living proves of this. The biggest artist’s, the most remembered ones have been able to brake social and esthetic parameters of their times and manage to create epic pieces of work that left not only a legacy behind but a new chapter in art history. Wayne White is still writing his history and trying to leave a legacy in the world of art but he as managed to become extremely popular because of his many talents which includes, animator, illustrator, director, puppeteer, painter, sculptor, cartoonist, and set designer. This variety of abilities led him to have a name in today’s art world and he is admired and respected but the art community of the world. Throughout his work White expresses himself emotionally and leads to many biographical themes but also manages at the same time to express irony and comedy in many of his pieces. The movie “ Beauty is Embarrassing” takes us through White’s journey not only in art but on life showing us the depth and meaning behind his work. The very first thing that plays an important roll on White’s work was his first job has a puppeteer (“Punk and Juicy”).

This led to an inner change in him and marked his...

...Adonis “UNFAIR” 2013.12.2 ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS Before we started to do this assignment, we learnt some basic techniques about acrylic painting like tint and shade, impasto, scraffito, solatter, knife painting, wash, dry brush and stippling. After that, I wrote down a brief brainstorm, then, I made a design for techniques, colors and lines I would chose. First of all, I covered the background with dark blue and light blue and the big brush were used for blending colors. Secondly, I added some different colors on my background to make a strong contrast and balance all parts of background. In this step, little brush was used and I used dry brush. Moreover, when I finished to draw the background, I covered background with knife paintings. In knife paintings, I used mixture of colors made all parts of the painting nice and symmetric and impasto was used. The core of my artwork can be read as having a fair world. As we all know that we can get the information from the Internet, news report or TV with the exposure of the information era and that is almost the only way we can get the information. Therefore, there is no doubt that nowadays the media can control everything. We even do not know what we get is true or not. The media sometimes show us some information on purpose, and hence it is really difficult for us to know what really happened in the world. That is the reason why I feel unfair. In using colors, I used dark blue as my background and bright blue...

...they enjoy collectively. They both worked on these painting equally. The efforts of both artists are in each painting which is rare to find but it makes these images unique. Even though they work collectively on each painting they took turns and work on it separately at different times. Working this way subtracts each other’s work so an idea that DiMambro had when painting may be different than Rushing’s when he came in to paint. The ideas each artist has for the painting may change but it came out good in the end as if just one artist painted the picture. In most of DiMambro’s and Rushing’s paintings the objects and characters are outlined which emphasize each part. It makes the characters bold so that they stick out. This collection of art is also very colorful and has a common, bold, color of red in most of the paintings with a shiny finish. Circus images always seem to be bright with an exciting atmosphere. The way the paint was brushed on was not perfectly smeared. You can notice the lines and brush strokes. It is not one solid coat like a painted wall. Most of the circus project paintings are close up, there is not much distance especially compared to Robert Morgan’s watercolor paintings. We as the viewer are able to see the character and objects close up. It is interesting to see these paintings have images of clowns. Clowns is not an image that you see very often, which makes the work that much more extraordinary. Clowns are the most iconic figures in the circus. They...

...Using visual arts as a play-based standard in an early-education environment helps develop skills such as: critical thinking, self-expression, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Early childhood educators are familiar with the play based theory that art elements are an essential part to any early childhood classroom. These are elements are: painting with their hands or on an easel, playing with clay or play dough at a table, and putting together a collage. These children are encouraged to be as creative and to explore with these materials as much as they want and need to. Unfortunately many early childhood educators neglect to implement these play experiences in their classroom s due to lack of knowledge on how to implement them and the lack of ideas on how to use. Early educators need to take workshops or classes to familiarize themselves with this type of play and how to implement it in their classroom. This will help build their knowledge and confidence for these play based visual arts so that their students can benefit and develop these necessary skills....

...Writing Workshop II Grey Art Gallery While some may argue that replications are a blight to the world of artistic craft, many have a greater appreciation of the reproduction of artwork paintings. Imagine if the Mona Lisa was only ever viewed upon by Leonardo Da Vinci, or within its locality. Centuries later, its true beauty would still be a secret to the rest of the world. It is hard to imagine that the most famous painting in the world would have been nothing more than a local favorite. Replication of fine paintings allows those who may never have an opportunity to own a masterpiece to feel like they do. Even while these alternates are not the real thing, with some, they may still have a hefty price tag. While others may have a more affordable and favorable price tag. Determining its worth requires a lot of attention to detail. The art of replication itself is very in depth. A great deal of skill and talent is required to master another's masterpiece. While some may tout it as otherwise, it is not a simple task try and match the brilliance of an original piece. To reproduce a painting doesn’t mean it’s merely a copy, but it is a new take, or interpretation of what the original artist was trying to capture. The replications of old images can often enhance the original image and make a masterpiece accessible to the world. The Grey Art Gallery of New York University is a complete mix of modern art, classic art, and replications. Exhibitions organized by the Grey Art Gallery encompass aspects...

...John Smith October 29, 2015 ART 1300-C Mrs. Issacson “The School Of Athens” As one of the renowned great master of the High Renaissance era, Raphael Sanzio da Urbino is best known for his work pertaining to the “School of Athens”. The Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance period, is highly respected for his work. His work was primarily admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplantonic ideal of human grandeur. Raphael was the youngest of the great artists, living from 1483-1520, as stated by “Rahpael’s School of Athens: A Theorem In A Painting?.” (Haas, 2012, pp. 4). Along side Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci; they compose the traditional trinity of great masters of the High Renaissance period. During this period, Living with Art said, “Pope Julius II asked Raphael Sanzio da Urbino to decorate the walls of several rooms in the Vatican palace” (Getlein, 2013, pp. 160). The School of Athens is “considered to be the summation of Renaissance Art by many” according to Living with Art (Getlein, 2013, pp. 160). Raphael composed this painting through the method of fresco for the end wall of the Stanze della Segnatura. This room was a room that may have been the Pope’s library. The School of Athens was started in 1510 and completed in 1511. The twenty-six foot by eighteen foot painting still resides in the Vatican of Rome, with in the Stanza della Segnatura (Getlein, 2013, pp.160). The School of Athens depicts several...

...Palmer Cutbacks in Music, Art and Physical Education School is where we all gain basic knowledge. It is where we learn what we need to live and then get interested in what we will excel at later in life. Many students want to grow up to be a lawyer, doctor or a teacher but for some students, it is the dream of being a famous musician, artist or athlete. With education budget cuts and the motion for higher standardized test scores on the raise, many schools have been forced to cut some of their programs. Those hardest hit are music, art and physical education classes. The issue is that cutting these programs may do more harm to students than good. Studies have shown that music, art and physical activity have many positive effects on student development and learning. Physical education has become especially important today. With childhood obesity become an increasing problem, physical health and proper nutrition has become a great concern. Music and art also have also shown to have an impact on physical development. These are the classes and programs that promote creativity, self-expression and individuality, and for many students are the classes that they look the most forward to and are often the highlight of their day. By taking them away are we not robbing our students of the opportunity to learn through different mediums? What about the future musicians, artists and athletes? Are we not robbing...
