From what I understood in “Nine Years‚ A Million Conceptual Miles‚” by Charlotte Cotton‚ I believe that she state and argues about how schools‚ museums‚ and art galleries are keeping photography from growing. Cotton explains that it does not matter if the person who is behind the camera is a professional or an amateur photographer‚ but‚ it is up to them to help photography grow in certain spaces‚ like museums and galleries. I believe her position is suggesting that there should be an evolution on

Performing arts is a waste of time‚ money and resource? In the 21th centuries‚ many people may think that performing arts is a subject that existed for the teenagers who cannot excel well in studies. Most of the people also think that this subject is only for the teenagers that wanted to be an actress or singer‚ but actually this is a totally illogical mindset.

I visited the Lindgren gallery and observed the works there. The gallery is a hall way area with paintings‚ shirts‚ and shirt designs. The artist‚ Kimberly Chai‚ is originally from Hawaii‚ and many of her works reflect as aspect of Hawaiian culture.

piece of news about Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) drew my attention. It said that this nonprofit museum suffered decreasing investment and donation since the worldwide financial crisis in 2008; indeed‚ it lost about 18% money.

After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts‚ I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario. The work is very colorful‚ and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head. This is one of Solario’s most notable works‚ and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel

The government of the UK spends about £220 million a year supporting museums and galleries and the similar amount of money subsidizing the visual and performing arts like theaters and exhibitions. “This is a huge sum to spend on minority interests‚ and the money would be better spent on more important things. It should be up to the people who enjoy cultural attractions to pay for them.” Of course this is a solid sum of money‚ but to call such important cultural events minority interests is

Tanner Townsend Intro to Fine Arts 18 September 2012 Critique 1 Visual Arts: The Lead Steer This week I decided to go to an art museum for the first time in my life. I went to the Blanton Museum of Art on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The museum is very beautiful inside and what I liked the most is how the rooms for different art work set the moods of the paintings that were inside. It had a great flow from room to room as well. All of the lighting in each room was different as

“Art as a Visual Expression of Human Spirituality” According to archaeologists‚ the earliest humans used “art” in primitive forms to depict sacred and religious beliefs‚ dating back thousands of years to the early Neanderthals. From very primitive cave drawings in France to modern iconic sculpture‚ painting and drawing‚ it is safe to assume that we were born with an inherent need to express the inexpressible; that which cannot be spoken‚ described‚ or accurately represented: the ineffable.
