Shell shock was a term only associated with World War one due to the major impact it had throughout the war. It was specifically used in Britain to express a psychological breakdown for a soldier from stress and trauma and fear from battles and fighting. It was hard to cure them as people and doctors considered them to be cowards therefore refused to offer help. Some men only received help depending on their high class or rank in the community, while others were even put on trial and even executed for being ‘cowards’. Shell shock caused a lot of problems and casualties for the country and for the war.

Emotion in an Aesthetic Experience Emotion is key to experience art in the way the artist intended his art to be perceived. A work of art, whether a painting, poem, play, etc, that has a dark and ominous tone seemingly inflicts an expression of an emotion upon the audience, hopefully equivalent to the intent the artist was trying to provide through his art. Emotion that is felt however, is subjective to each individual. This emotion perceived by the art allows the audience to therefore have an aesthetic experience, whether or not they understand the emotion that they are expressing. This expression of emotion when observing art leads to better comprehension of the artwork and the artist’s emotions that he experienced and expressed while creating a particular piece of art.

The semiotics of symbolic objects represented within contemporary art The practice of semiotics is concerned with how the representation of an entity engenders meaning, as well as the attributions and comprehensions of meaning which are generated. Symbolism, as a narrower field, is fulfilled by the use of semiotic analysis to confront the notion that an image or object can only depict a meaning intentionally thrust upon it by the creator, or that any entity within art can be absolutely objective, furthermore, that an articles meaning is of secondary importance to the individual elements of the piece. Thus through the use of semiotics numerous and fluctuating representational relationships are acknowledged and the integral role, individuals, the image or objects and culture and society play within understanding symbols within contemporary art. The identification of the symbolist movement first occurred within literature and evolved to visual arts from the late 19th to early 20th century, at the same time, semiology was founded by Ferdinand de Saussure, a Swiss linguist; the linguistic science cited the proprieties of signs and symbols within social culture and the formality withheld to reveal structural meaning behind phenomena’s appearance. Furthermore, how an entity is studied to be relevant within a structures’ entirety, such that how the connotations of an object change the appearance or meaning of the piece of a whole, not just the singular article.
I find it disturbing, to not say disgusting, this newly found need of self-entitlement people have now. Because people find something offensive, inappropriate, stupid, demeaning or whatever it is they think of, they start rallying against whomever or whatever it is that “fulfill” these characteristics. Media outlets have fallen prey to this, but media outlets are the main cause for this uprise of self-entitled naysayers. The internet is the worst culprit of all. The internet has become the home for these naysayers, those who sit in front of a screen to simply criticize, insult, and put down whatever they see just because.
Defining Visual Arts Visual arts is the name given to a set of arts that could represent the real world or imaginary world, and it has the vision as the main form of assessment and seizure. A visual art is related to the aesthetic beauty and creativity of the human being, capable of creating events and pleasant to the eye works. The concept of visual art is very broad, involving areas such as theater, dance, paintings, collages, prints, film, photography, sculpture, architecture, fashion, landscaping, decorating, etc. The visual arts can be created through various tools or instruments, such as paper, wood, plaster, clay, software, or capture and playback machines as camcorders or cameras. New technologies have also revolutionized the concept of visual arts, in areas such as web design, which has a great impact on today's society.
This then provides the same emotion that the artist felt in the environment in which the painting was created, almost like a transfer of pure emotion from artist to viewers by means of the canvas and the color. Cubism is similar to this in the sense that Cubists believe that it is important to manipulate formal elements when depicting a subject matter in order to provide an accurate presentation of the feelings that a subject evokes, rather than directly reproducing it on a canvas. The Cubists, however, regard the Impressionists negatively. In Gelizes and Metzinger’s article, art created by Impressionist painters are described as being “feeble and worthless”. Impressionists, like the Cubists found importance in depicting nature, but their difference was that Impressionists limited themselves, while the Cubists found that limitation was the only error in art.
What relation does each thinker believe art has an ultimate reality and what relation might this have to their view of art’s pleasure giving nature. In the readings Aristotle finds art whether it be Music, Dance, Painting or Sculpture representational. He asserts that art is pleasurable because of its characteristics. “It’s purpose is to bring about a catharsis, a purging of the emotions, through the experience of fear and pity.”-Aristotle (pg.27) I feel that Aristotle’s position of art is true from my point of view. I think that there are a lot of artists, including myself that use a representational standpoint.
