Art Prize: A Non-Profit Competition
Art Prize is a non-profit competition that does wonders for the Grand Rapids, MI area. I chose this article because I desired to write about something I cared about that not only was a relatively new business venture but also something that fosters creativity for future business and allows established businesses and communities to thrive. Entrepreneurship deals with failure, success, innovation, inventing, business, etc. and nobody accompanies all of these qualities better than artist. Art Prize, since its inception in 2009 has had 1.9 Million visitors from around the world come of the city of Grand Rapids and has given on $4.1 Million in prizes to competitors. The articles give an overall view of art prize and the way it has changed the Grand

    Last Two Decade’s Record of Portland Max Art Project’s Achievements

    Have you notised that there are many public arts in Portland? At least I can see five public arts from my dorm, St Epler, to a class room in Neuberger Hall everyday. You must have seen an engel in a small PSU fountain or a few broken stoned tires along SW 6th Ave. They are silent and you might easily miss them, but actually there are large number of public arts in Portland. A Portland public art map of Regional Arts& Culture Council shows even in central city, there are more than a hundred of public arts (2010). In general it is said that to enjoy art makes your life rich, and I would like to introduce how interesting arts are in Portland. However, all public arts do not belong to the same committee and they are a lot. So I would like to choose one organization which is in charge of a big public art project, Max of TriMet. Max is an appropriate topic to start with, because it is one of the closest unions for Portland residents’ daily life, and this year, 2012, is the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Max Portland art project. To get people’s more interests about artstic Portland city, this paper would discuss about the 20 years’ achievements of TriMet art project in terms of history and famous artistic objects.…

    This drawing is considered to be a more honest depiction of the events held at Medicine Lodge Creek due to what aspect he includes that all others are missing. When looking over a comparison drawing of the event, done by Taylor, you notice that in Taylor’s drawing, there are many native men, and white men, but only one woman. This woman was not even a full native, yet instead an interpreter for one of the tribes. In the drawing done by Howling Wolf however, he represents the many native women present, and identifies them with characteristics in their hair, or on their tepees. Howling Wolf’s drawing is mainly focused on the women, and represents their great importance with the treaty signing. Women were very important to the tribes. They played a great role and importance all over the Plains society. Howling Wolf in my opinion was more honest as to include all members that took part in the treaty signing, as opposed to others, who picked and choose whose importance was needed in the art.…

    The Howling Wolf’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge drawing has a lot less representational is nonobjective than John Taylor’s illustration. I read in this that (Sayre, H.M.) was saying something like the world of art (2010) usually has two different depictions of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge. This is where one illustrates a natural illusionistic art which is compared to something like convention art. This is with Sayre, H.M., posted in 2010, on the pp. 38-39, (Fig, 42). John Taylor, (1867). Taylor provided information on natural objects which these were in a form that was a more recognizable then Sayers was. I think that Wolf’s rendering is was very abstract, It would be more for a child to like because it had a lot of dimensional crayon coloring, But Wolf’s drawing does have a more honest record of the treaty signing at medicine creek lodge than Taylor’s did. Wolf also emphasizes tradition, culture, and detail in greater way than John Taylor’s illustration. And it also just told a lot more about the meaning of the painting just because of the things that was in the coloring such as woman with their hair painted, trees, creeks, and also wooded landscapes.…

    American abstraction emerged from the background of Regionalism and Social Realism in the middle 1930’s.(1) The development and characteristics of Abstract Expressionism began with the Surrealist phase in which artists took an interest in myths and dream and in effect, unconscious creativity. From Expressionism, artists gained a passion for the “expressive qualities of paint.”(1) From Surrealism and Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism was born. Abstract Expressionism was a term used in 1929 by Alfred Barr, Jr. to refer to Kandinsky’s nonfigurative, nonrepresentational paintings.(1)…

    American Art Project

    It is believable that John Vanderlyn, in his painting Landing of Columbus, was trying to portray the success of Columbus and his crew. Columbus heroic stance and elegant expression are made all the more impressive in comparison to the native people who witness the event. The Native Americans are naked, fearful or subservient, bowing down before the explorer in awe and reverence. The symbols of empire are shown in the heroic explorer with his Christian crosses and steel swords symbolizing the significance in the power of civilization. In 1836 of June, Congress had commissioned John Vanderlyn to paint the Landing of Columbus. About eleven years later the painting was hung in the Rotunda by January 1847. Expansion was an overwhelming preoccupation in nineteenth-century America, but it was by no means the only cultural preoccupation. The subject of the painting, foregrounding the ambiguous meeting of two cultures, provided a space for artists to work out many central issues, for example, how to reconcile Indian Removal with notions of the Noble Savage. Another way is how to remake a country torn apart by sectional strife. The following settlements and expansions span the period from 1835 to 1912. Americans had a chaotic eighty-year period that witnessed the filling of Americas geographical borders, the bloody anguish of the Civil War, the horror of slavery in America, the overthrow of Native peoples, and many more events pertaining to the expansion. Vanderlyns painting contains images of contact between European explorers and Native Americans. He clearly shows a representation of what many of the settlements contained and how frightened the Natives were.…

    Throughout the course of my junior year, I have been challenged to be the best artist of my ability. As a graphic designer, I have learned to view things in a different light and learned to express my creativity. Although I am still learning new things everyday about how to become a better artist, I have improved tremendously in every way ranging from the thought process all the way to finalizing each project, and I think that as the days go by I will continue to do well in my high school graphic design career, but in continuing my education in this major and working in a field closely related to it. I have produced at least 5 projects that reflect my passion for graphic design including the New York World’s Fair, currency recreation, and the handmade film poster from the first semester of my junior year and from the second half up until my most recent project, a book jacket, and an organic drink package design.…

    Art Funding Benefits

    Art can be traced all the way back to the ice age. The government uses roughly 146.2 million dollars per year to offer support and fund for art projects, and state governments have always repeatedly maintained a commitment to the arts (Gummow). The art funding is a good use of a taxpayer’s money, because it supports health and wellness, it creates more jobs, and it is a part of education. The arts are so important, so that is why I think that the money that goes into the arts is money well spent ("Why Should the Government Support the Arts?").…

    In July of 2009 the Introduction of public art came to light when the Yakima city approved the installation of Convolution, a modern sculpture created by Bremerton artist Will Robinson. The attention gained by the debates of the Convolutions placement has brought public art in Yakima, and polices of the Yakima Arts Commission to a high in the community. An adverse reaction was given when the placement of the Transcendence took place. Will modern public art contribute to our communities in positive ways or will it negatively affect the community.…

    Chapter 3 Promoting Children's Art

    After reading chapter 3, Promoting Children’s Art, I would begin by explaining to my friend that all children are artistic and talented in their own unique way. I would also tell her that she should observe her child’s artwork that he/she does at home and artwork that is done at school. As explained in the book on page 41, children who are gifted will show great detail in their artwork that children their age would not pay attention to. Students that are artistic and talented go deep into thought with their artwork. Not only do the show the interest in art with their drawings, they will talk about their interest in particular topics not common to those of their peers. Another way to tell if her child is artistic and talented is to talk with…
