Danto mean by the End of Art? The end of art is not the death of art‚ but the wholesale elimination of what used to be considered art and its replacement by a new concept: pluralism. When art has exhausted itself and this concept has been brought into the forefront of the consciousness‚ this awareness signals the end of art. Art is no longer art in the traditional sense (having a manifesto-aesthetically pleasing‚ etc.) because the accessibility to art and to create art has allowed the masses to

I think that our 5th grade should go to the art museum. The reason we should go is because of the amazing art because the art there is really beautiful. The other reason is to learn about the history and why they made it.The last reason is because of the history. The history is really fun to learn about. My first reason is because of the history.The history is really cool to see and learn about.The reason I picked history is because I like to learn about people from an earlier time. So‚ that

Reviewing current art‚ both locally and globally‚ it appears that much of it has or purports to have a political content. One reason for this focus is that technological advances encourage snatching digitized fragments from reality that document the persistent global nightmare of human inhumanity. This process thus duplicates in art the same nightmare we see every day on TV or the Internet. Very little of this work‚ whose apology is that it is “consciousness raising‚” amounts to more than superficial

relationship between art and society? Does art imitate life – or is it the other way around? Traditionally‚ we have believed that art imitates life. The painter represents what he or she sees by producing a scene on a canvas. The sculptor does the same with bronze or stone. A photographer or film maker does it even more directly. A writer describes life in his or her books. This simple concept is known as mimesis. But some have questioned the one-way nature of mimesis by arguing that art also changes

African Art History African art history has played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of the world. The belief that Africa is the cradle of the history of mankind is virtually unshakeable. The origins of African art history lie long before recorded history‚ preserved in the obscurity of time. Rock Art is centuries old‚ while shell beads fashioned for a necklace have been recovered in a cave in the furthest reach of the southern peninsula of South Africa that are 75 000 years old

Renaissance Art During a time when all life in Europe was affected by the collapse of the Roman Empire and invasion of barbarian people‚ the Catholic Church managed to keep fine arts alive in the holiest of cities (Netzley). Before the time of the Renaissance‚ the Church focused their efforts on creating an unnatural essence that was Medieval art. This type of art appears abnormal to modern people‚ mostly because they had very little knowledge about human anatomy and mathematics (Brown). The figures

I feel that art is important‚ but its value is intangible. The more unique the art‚ the higher its value to our intellectual heritage. Art is unique and rare. It is a part of culture and history. There is only one original painting or sculpture. And if it is stolen‚ there won’t be a second one. Art is an important part of our lives… and I’m happy that I enjoy it. Moreover‚ I am glad I appreciate the act of conjuring artistic creations. There is no broad value to any specific piece of artwork in this
