Artists Remain Misunderstood
Artists remain misunderstood by most of the society.

Nowadays we live in a society that believes that those who lead great business are the smartest, the most successful and therefore, the kings of the modern world. Since we were little we were taught that to be successful we should study a science or technological degree. If we did not underestimate art and humanities, maybe they would be at the same level as science and technologies.

As a humanities degree student, I do understand artists and also all their work. Both modalities are enlaced by suppressing maths and other sciences from our plan of study. As I told you before, science leads the world and most of the people who study one of those degrees aim for having a rich future. But

    The average man in modern society walks down and the street and thinks nothing of the true potential he and everyone around him can achieve with the utilisation of the resources at his disposal. This man is like a flower that has been over watered with information, left to starve for the nutrients of wisdom. The article “Starving for Wisdom,” by Nicholas Kristof (16th April 2015), discusses that though we have the world in our pockets, we ourselves do not truly realise the advantages of it. The humanities is a sort of key that can unlock the gate of success if it is used properly.…

    Many people value art becuase it can inform us, we value it if it is true to nature or to life. Platos imitation theory applies here, that all artists are merely copying the form so it can not be good art, but all perceptual experience involves interpretation, so there is nothing to copy. Great historical paintings can give us visual knowledge of certain points in time, but limitations with this is that anything can inform us without being art, a book can inform us but isn't art. This ability to inform us is not what make sus appreciate it but the artistic qualities it…

    Maria Popova said this about art. “This is the power of art: The power to transcend our own self-interest, our solipsistic zoom-lens on life, and relate to the world and each other with more integrity, more curiosity, and more wholeheartedness.” Over the course, I look art differently and actually in enjoy it. I went to the Brooks Museum of Art to get a better feel for art.…

    Taking higher level courses in math and science challenges my critical thinking to be able to apply concepts learned in the real world. My curiosity to learn more about physical sciences and math keeps me attentive to understand the complexity of how things work. Though I value academics, I hold another interest in the visual and culinary arts. Since art can take on many forms, I find pleasure in drawing as well as creating graphic and ceramic art. I also enjoy creating edible forms of art by cooking and baking.…

    It was well documented in his Biography that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his character, Sherlock Holmes on his teacher and mentor, Doctor Joseph Bell, a surgeon that Doyle studied under at Edinburgh University (Hodgson 4). We can see another influence on the stories written about “the great detective” in the works that came some 50 years earlier from the American literary critic, poet, editor and writer Edgar Allan Poe. In his own writing, Doyle commented on Poe’s work, specifically mentioning his detective character Dupin in A Study In Scarlet, the first short story to feature Doyle’s character Sherlock Holmes. In it, Dr. Watson, tries to complement Sherlock Holmes, comparing him to Poe’s detective from Murders in the Rue Morgue: "it is simple when you explain. You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe 's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist out of stories" (30). But Doyle also goes on to point out that the talents of Poe’s character Dupin were not quite on par with the great detective when Sherlock Holmes points out “Now in my opinion Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of breaking in on his friend’s thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour’s silence is really very showy and superficial. He has some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine” (30). In other words, Dupin was ok but he’s “an inferior fellow” (30) not at the level of “the great detective” Sherlock Holmes (Hodgson).…

    Some may argue that in today’s world, a sound knowledge is required for a better career. While I do concede that we are living in a highly advanced world, I do not agree that having a sound knowledge of science and technology is essential for the well-educated. If one’s education and career is of the humanities, one can excel in it even without a sound knowledge of science and technology. Some knowledge of science and technology is required, such as the basic knowledge of surfing the internet and using the PowerPoint software for a presentation. However, a basic knowledge is not the same as a sound knowledge of science and technology. A research from a Stanford student has shown that there are humanities professors who only have a basic knowledge of science and technology. Does that mean that they are not well-educated in today’s world? The research has also shown that for people in different fields, their focus is on different areas. For the people more inclined to humanities, peer reviews are more important than the use of empirical evidence. These people are still able to excel in their career since a basic knowledge of science and technology would suffice for them.…
