Art for Arts’ Sake Dear Friends‚ When I was asked to write to you about my views of the role of the Arts in society‚ I did not hesitate to embrace the task. Over the past three years‚ I have been working on a PhD in Music Education. I have finished all of my coursework‚ and have "only" my dissertation remaining. In this program of study‚ I recall many discussions in our seminar classes that were seeking to answer this very question: What is the role of the Arts in our society? For purposes

The Arts People’s life can’t be imagined without arts. They are not only entertainment for us‚ but also the way of expressing our thoughts and exchanging them through time and space. As the thoughts are often different‚ the art is so varied. So every nation has its own art with specific features. I wish to speak about British arts. In fact the position of the arts in Britain may be described as a mixture of public apathy and private enthusiasm. The reason of it is that government financial support

(Singapore) Art‚ culture‚ and society; these three elements are closely linked. These three elements affect one another in one way or another. There is often a conflict of interest between the artist‚ the audience‚ and the government body. The artist’s aim is to express art freely.

IS IT ART? What is art? Every person has an individual response to an artwork which is determined through the collaboration between an individual and a specific artwork. If it contributes to your experience‚ as a consequence being symbolic of something‚ then it is probably art for you. It is therefore very problematic in order to supply a definition that comprises the whole world’s thoughts and feelings. Some believe that anything and everything in the world is art‚ while others believe that it

“The oldest and most often invoked argument is that art‚ whatever its form‚ is a public good” (Ginsburgh‚ 2001‚ p. 759). Why? Because as the author referred‚ it can benefit not only those who attend or see it‚ and who pay for it‚ but also all other consumers‚ who do not necessarily wish to contribute voluntarily to its production or to its preservation‚ in the case of museums‚ so they are free riders. We can easily understand that artistic activities also produce externalities to all civilization

Creative art and Fine art . By a broad definition of art‚[9] artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind: from early pre-historic art to contemporary art; however‚ some theories restrict the concept to modern Western societies.[10] The first and broadest sense of art is the one that has remained closest to the older Latin meaning‚ which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft." A few examples where this meaning proves very broad include artifact‚ artificial‚ artifice‚ medical arts‚ and military arts

Art and Intention When it came to the understanding of the art works both Marcel Duchamp’s and Michelangelo’s the reactions came for a lack of knowing what they were looking at and a lack of understanding. For Duchamp’s art piece had nothing to do with nudist or anything of the sort it was simply the act of motion. The name it was offended people the most about the “Nude Descending a Staircase” painting done by Duchamp. Now on the other hand I can believe the public had a hard time with Michelangelo’s

What Makes Art Art I believe Art is something that can not truly be defined. Art might be thought of as just a simple picture to hang on the wall. However‚ Art can be many different things and mean many different things to one. My personal definition of Art would be anything created by someone. Art can include a huge variety of different things. Art can be paintings‚ sculptures‚ photographs‚ drawings‚ illustrations‚ architecture‚ furniture‚ music‚ poetry. I also feel that choreography could be
