I was fascinated with the diversity and beauty of the arts in this gallery. According to the Baltimore Art Museum website‚ ” Today the Museum boasts a collection of 95‚000 works of art that range broadly in terms of geography‚ culture‚ chronology‚ and medium”(Baltimore Art Museum). The museum is housed in a massive building which consists of three floors. Each floor contains

The Art of Loving is a slim volume of only a little over a hundred pages yet it packs one hell of a punch. Written some fifty years ago‚ here is a more damning indictment of modern society than anything the existential crowd of Bertrand Russell‚ Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre could cook up. The Art of Loving is a very concise and pithy read‚ it is written in the terse lucid style of gospel‚ each word in each line serving a critical function. This is not a writer’s style nor is a critic’s but that

Charles Wuorinen writes: "In any medium‚ entertainment is that which we can receive and enjoy passively‚ without effort‚ without our putting anything into the experience. Art is that which requires some initial effort from the receiver‚ after which the experience received may indeed be entertaining‚ but also transcending as well.

the intellect or moral sense. The manifestation of life in art is one of the most sublimely beautiful things that I have ever encountered. C.S. Lewis described art’s worth when he wrote‚ “Art has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which gives value to survival.” I believe that is the real point behind art; to bring a kind of contentment that is logistically unnecessary‚ yet remarkably important. My favorite piece of art is The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. Millions have witnessed

Perception in the Arts The subjectivity of perception makes art what it is. Art is all about perception and individuality‚ since everyone has a different background‚ experience‚ taste‚ and opinion about any artwork.

As an Egyptian Artist‚ my art is for religion‚ the gods‚ and my king. Most of my work isn’t intended to be seen‚ but for the purpose of comfort for the dead. Sometimes they were even a form of communication between us and the gods. However‚ in this new world of Greece‚ I have learned that art is for expression‚ and they seem to appreciate and value life. Greeks have figured out movement and are honest to the human forms in art‚ unlike back home. They smoothly cut away from marble stones and consistently
