Art movement

As an intern art therapist, I work with child populations at a community center in Brooklyn, New York. The community center provides after-school programs for pre-K to high school students at no cost. Art therapy is also provided as a part of the programs for children who present behavioral or psychological problems in the classroom. Fortunately, I have opportunities to observe a classroom of children aged seven to eight and to interact with them prior to my art therapy session. The classroom…

The Rococo and Neoclassical visual arts have come to define the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Each resulted from popular culture, influence, and reform, yet had an impact on one another. The Rococo painter exhibited whimsical scenes, sometimes scandalous, bathed in softer color shades while the neoclassical painter sought to give emphasis to tradition and nationalism. To elucidate these variances, this author will use famed “The Swing” by Jena-Honore Fragonard to contrast against the…

dialog and discussion among scholars who are engaged in philosophical and practical analyses of musical experiences. Unlike other philosophical discourses, the difficulty of speaking about music is the difficulty of speaking about a nonrepresentational art form. Music has been discussed in terms of the hard sciences, such as pitch, rhythm, and form, but music has been at best, ignored with respect to philosophical thought. Deleuze is one philosopher who has tackled music straight on. An…

greatness in creating and sublimity in consuming remains as the spirit in every civilization for an aesthetic end. Even in its presence and even in its absence aesthetic realm can be considered the core aspect to delve into in all the creative works. An art is in itself a phantom of a spirit in an effort to affirm. Sometimes to forbear and sometimes to fore last, the outer and inner stimulus…

“The Love Letter” is a painting by Jan Vermeer, made in 1669 during the Dutch Golden Age/Baroque period. It is an interior scene, typical of both Vermeer and Dutch art during and after the Counter-Reformation. Due to both the success of the Dutch Republic and the rebellion against the Catholic Church, Dutch art was generally more materialistic, everyday-life centered, and focused on wealth, as the Dutch enjoyed massive success as bankers and as seafarers. Many of these elements are incorporated…

1. Design and Composition - Denote in your Design Analysis the Design Principles seen in the work (unity, contrast, balance, movement, direction, emphasis, rhythm, repetition, center of interest, etc. Thank you for sharing your wonderful earthwork to the class Ms. Thi. The stones that you choose are very distinct, I like how they differ in shapes and yet they connect to each other. The flat stone in the middle is just the right size and shape to hold the two small stones on top. I also admire…

change in six months and it’s beauty is ephemeral so is art. Capturing these moments of fleeting beauty is evident in the piece at it’s completion. That being said, the real beauty is in the creation process. Art to an artist is not about one piece of work or one way of doing something but the rhythm of growth in the name of discovery. I am a high octane transmedia creative but I want to hone my critical thinking more. The Arts and Crafts movement was a solution born out of contempt for the…

10.8.15 Unable to attend the exhibitions at The Museum of Northern Arizona or Coconino Center for the Arts, I went downtown to the Shane Night Gallery. The gallery is set up with images lining the walls, some images are near the bottom, and resting backwards- their frames resting against the walls others rest on a shelf in the same manner. There is very little in the gallery besides art. The whole gallery has an antique and rustic feel. The flawed wood in the floor and the rough texture of…
