    The Evolution of Art

    • 1344 Words

    To even begin to define art, we must have a starting point in history where something was first perceived as art. The question begs, though, why do we perceive it as art? To look up the word in a dictionary, you will find the term aesthetics almost always applied to its definition; however, much of we call art today is not exactly pleasing to the eye. Our shifting social attitudes have affected how art has been presented to us over time. We see depictions of hate, of war, of death, and many other forms of sorrow and horror. Moreover, we must consider how technology and modern conveniences have allowed a greater realm in the world of art: Photography and Photoshop programs, computer generated graphics, and applications for use with tablets and smart phones that allow us to modify images in an infinite number of ways. Loosely defined, the word art seems to be applied to almost anything: The written word, photography, performance arts, computer graphics, commercial art, fashion, culinary, comics, and so on. For purposes of this research paper, however, the focus will be on the more concrete forms of art that we’ve come to know throughout history. The definition of art has certainly shifted and changed over time and across cultures; in this research paper we will explore how art has evolved.…

    Art is a very powerful means of expressing one 's self, and it can be viewed either very positively or very negatively. Art has a way of bringing people together by portraying an idea that everyone can relate to. It has the ability to have a big impact on society, but it 's just a matter of getting people appreciate the value of it. (Lawrence 1). Suzanne Lacy created a chart of artist 's roles to show you the different steps an artist can take from being private or public. There is the artist as an experiencer, the artist as a reporter, and artist as an analyst, and the artist as an activist. As Suzzanne Lacy puts it, "Artists as reporters represent their world. Artists as experiencers give tangible form to their feelings about the world. Artists as analysts look beyond the immediate to reveal hidden universal truths. And artists as activists help us see the world in new ways." (Sayre 66). The activists even expect their work to impact the world. They believe they can affect the world and change it for the better. (Sayre 66).…

    Stories have been used for a long time to entertain, teach, and even help some learn lessons about life. A long time ago there were people known as story tellers who specialized in communicating these stories. These story tellers even in ancient times were highly regarded and trusted. They were able to not only entertain the ones listening but also teach a lesson. Fables are another form of this story telling, they also entertain, and give a fun explanation to things that may never be explained, like how a leopard get its spots or why an elephants trunk is so long. Now, in more modern times, we have books, movies and television to do the same thing. The act of story telling has not died completely though, many people still use these stories today.…
