Bruce Bailey shows in his artwork the movement of music and what it does to you. As the music plays around you, it enters your body and makes you want to move/dance around. Bailey uses the lines in the background and designs to show movement in and around the man on the canvas. Judgement; The historical importance of the painting is the graffiti aspect of the new art. Bringing street art which people frown upon into the museums of art, and making it apart of new history.
In view of the brief notes above and with reference to the readings in your coursepack combined with your own research please respond to the following questions: 1. How would you define art? What criteria would you use? To me art is a way for and artist to express their emotions. Through the wide spectrum of mediums, there are very many kinds of art that can be created.
Many episodes are based off of real-world problems, and are solved through extensive use of satire. The show creates a stage where the problem in question is so exaggerated that people understand the sarcasm beneath, and can unravel the true meaning of the episode. One episode of South Park has Cartman, a rude little boy who has many troubles about him, arrest a group of Eastern people who are new to South Park because he is afraid of a terrorist threat. In the end, the Eastern people had nothing to do with a bomb threat of course, but a real bomb threat was discovered because of his stereotypical judgements. From this, the morally sound character, Stan, tells the audience that stereotyping people is wrong, but it is also good to be cautious of certain things.
require all graffiti to be covered up, but allow building owners to graffiti their own property to advertise or state a belief. Even though the tagger and owner is one in the same, it should still be considered “illegal” under the terms of the city ordinance. We have a right to free speech, but that doesn’t mean the entire community accepts the image portrayed on the building. If you drive south on Market Street, in our Historic Hillyard District, you will see graffiti on a number of buildings. This piecer style graffiti is considered appropriate and is not required to be covered up.
These words are given meaning by the culture in which you live in. Language has several different primary functions such as labeling, interaction and transmission. Labeling serves to give identity to what is being talked about. The interaction function allows us to share ideas and emotions. Transmission is how we pass information on.
Speech codes sought to end hate speech by saying that violent speech against minorities should not be protected under the First Amendment because that kind of racial speech prevents minorities from exercising their First Amendment rights. Most of the codes could never be enforced because they were either too broad or too vague and overall they never held up in court. Lawrence’s essay came shortly after incidents of racial speech were occurring on campuses and he is intent on letting the reader know how much it “troubles” him. It seems along with conveying his opinions about the subject, Lawrence also wants to find ways to push his audience to be proactive to regulate and eliminate racial speech. Although Lawrence does make his point that racial speech can be hurtful and can even provoke violence, he lacks in convincing the reader that there is any legitimate way to regulate it.
He squats down on the ground next to me, pulls out a cigar, and lights it. He gives me the first drag. I probably shouldn't be smoking on watch, but it calms my nerves, clears my mind a little. It feels fresh, washes my nose of the scents of this goddamn purgatory. "Some say Old Sam is calling quits, bringing us out, leaving these gooks in the dust."
I argue that having the ability to be controversial is what makes art, art. In truth, "the freedom of expression" is a lie because while we all possess it, we don't speak our mind in fear of being ridiculed or having our opinions written off. Art is the only medium, where one's thoughts, no matter how controversial, can be presented in anyway they want, there shouldn't be a "taking it too far" with art. Everything is appropriate in art. Writers Week is a event that allows people to say things they would not normally say in a school environment, or share thoughts they wouldn't share with people, whether it be the f-bombs 'Mutts' dropped or the swears that student presenters uttered while reading their speeches,their art brought some crudeness into our sugar coated school environment.
Aastha Mehta Interpretation of Culture Professor Heo September 27, 2009 Reflection Paper Horace Miner does a good job of stepping outside his own culture and avoiding the many blunders any insider to a culture is prone to when he writes this satire. He sees the Nacirema culture, his own culture, from an outsider's perspective using the culture's own standards, as he understands them, to describe their beliefs and practices. He avoids oversimplification and triteness by going to great pains to describe practices once common to us, in new and strange ways. This article indeed helps us to see ourselves as others might see us. Miner, however, does not do as well in avoiding ethnocentrism in this article.
[5] 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 describe 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 thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses. Artworks can be explicitly made for this purpose or interpreted on the basis of images or objects.
