Art for Arts’ Sake Dear Friends‚ When I was asked to write to you about my views of the role of the Arts in society‚ I did not hesitate to embrace the task. Over the past three years‚ I have been working on a PhD in Music Education. I have finished all of my coursework‚ and have "only" my dissertation remaining. In this program of study‚ I recall many discussions in our seminar classes that were seeking to answer this very question: What is the role of the Arts in our society? For purposes

The Art of Living As everyone knows‚ ink is something that can never be undone. It is something permanent and is very difficult to cover up or remove. It can be in a form as simple as a pen caressing a piece of paper or as complex as a needle drenched in ink‚ piercing through skin to form a different kind of art‚ known as a tattoo. As times are changing‚ tattoos seem to be getting a lot more common in my generation compared to previous ones. As tattoos become more popular‚ so do the criticisms.

On decay of the art of lying essay “On Decay of the Art of Lying” was‚ as the title suggests‚ an essay discussing the topic of lying. Mark Twain‚ who was the author of the essay‚ suggests that everyone is a liar‚ and that no one can go through life without lying even if they claim that they are completely honest. People lie everyday‚ every hour even without realizing that they are lying. The world would be a completely different place if people never lied‚ this wouldn’t necessarily be for the

The title of the artwork is an oil on canvas painting titled Bermuda Lovers. The date and the name of the artist was not given. I came across the painting at the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk where artists set up exhibits to display their work or have individual work shown in cafes. In what I believe is the Hibbleton gallery‚ the painting was hung on a brick wall painted grey with other artworks in close proximity. Its proximity with other attention-grabbing works made it difficult to invest my full

Pete Rose & the Hall of Fame When I go watch my Chicago Cubs at beautiful Wrigley field I am concerned with the game and what is in front of me‚ not what is going on off the field. I go to enjoy the game and the talent of the athletes that play. I could care less about what Sammy Sosa is doing off the field‚ he is the man because of his skills on the field and what he does for Americas’ past time. Last time I was sitting on the third base line and Sammy stepped up to the plate I did not think

"Content‚ Subject Matter and Artistic Intentions” After reading the lecture I decided to write my thoughts on the art piece “A Bigger Splash” by David Hockney on page 69. No matter what the true meaning of a piece of art is you always having your own personal views and feelings toward. Only the artist really knows his motivation behind his artwork and how he wants the viewer to view it. At first glance of the picture I didn’t really see much‚ to the eye it’s a pretty simple picture. To me it is

o start of by talking about the early Renaissance Art‚ the definition is that Renaissance “was a period when scholars and artists began to investigate what they believed to be revival of classical learning‚ literature and art”. The first painting that caught my eyes while reading chapter twelve was the Deposition. This piece was painted by Rogier van der Weyden.
