motion of dance in a way that creates a narrative. Both artists were influenced by changing and uncertain times and choose to photograph subjects in motion as concrete. Brodovitch was challenged with defining a new way of art influenced by surrealism and the combination of art and everyday life as one. Trager was influenced by the choice of either confronting life or separating from it. While Brodovitch accepted his world in flux as inspiration and Trager rejected the change and chose to portray…

elements in Art. I had always thought that art had no organization, guidance or system. I thought that people just painted or drew pretty much whatever they wanted with no apparent rules. The Visual Elements that Getlein mentions on chapter 4 consist of the following; line shape and mass, light, color, texture and pattern and last but not least; time and motion (Getlein, 2012). These elements are intrinsically woven in art! Who would have thought that all these elements are essential to art? For…

support fine art classes. Some people think that dance, music, drama, and art classes are not a necessary component for students to participate in to graduate. These same people see fine art classes as a hobby to do on a student’s leisure time not an essential aspect to cultivate student learning. On the other hand, there are other people who think any form of art is vital for a student to be a well-rounded scholar…

The theme and the message of artistic art forms are largely at the mercy of the various perceptions that individuals have about them as no two individual perceptions are completely alike. This notion is especially evident when reviewing and interpreting the ideas of classical film theorists and their opinions on the purpose of what the unique art form of film is meant to be, and what methods should be used in order to achieve that purpose.

Imagine the excruciating moment when a child pausing in front of your work in an exhibition and simply saying “That isn’t art, I could do that!” Not considering the plethora of factors that weave themselves into that one - seemingly simple - work of art, the child may easily think that some of the most famous works of art of the 21st century can be effortlessly recreated. While the abstract technique of modern artist may seem elementary to some, Andy Warhol is a prime example of an artist who…

When considering the theoretical baselines of this module, I decided to look within myself, and consider what in my life embodies these ideas and concepts. Put mildly, I am a dance music fanatic. I perform regularly in Exeter as a DJ and when sifting through my record collection, I came across a record that really speaks to me personally, and in many ways, has a universal allure. The record was released on a German record label named Innervisions, and is called Acamar, written by a duo called…

According to Tolstoy view on art, he believes it is a shared experience between the viewer and the artist. If an artist’s wants to deliver a message, the ability to trigger empathy plays a vital role. When a person is not able to emphasize with an artist’s work, then it is not art. Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else’s emotions. With empathy, the viewer is able experience the artists emotions such as fear, happiness, love, and etc. A validation of art is something that is able…

the regular painter where you use paint and a brush. This type of art is very important because they say a picture can say 1,000 words.
