My first recollection of art began at the moment when I saw Manet’s painting of a standing boy playing flute, of which it was printed on the cover of my 1st grade musical textbook. I thought it was magical to present a lively person onto a flat two-dimensional space merely using colors and brushes. Since then, I have been fascinated by the concept of art — a visual language that draws inspiration from life but goes beyond it. With this artistic seed in my heart, I went to a high school that I can pursuit formal art trainings in sketching, drawing, and painting. After immersing myself in the art practice world for three years, my passion for fine art was fully kindled and exploded. In order to experience a new culture, a different educational system and more importantly to explore all spectrums of art in a free atmosphere, I decided to study abroad at Allan Hancock College, California in 2013. With a major in art, I was enabled to take courses in art criticism, installation arts, and digital designs, etc. In company with the accumulated learning process, …show more content…
My question was not addressed until I was enrolled in an arts entrepreneurship course, in which I had the opportunity to turn a concept of an arts organization into a functioning and sustainable enterprise. I proposed to build an authentic East Asian tea house that showcases abstract paintings in the Lake Tahoe resort. Relevant to my multicultural background, I was inspired to help bridging the East-West divide through the lens of art. Although the business plan I accomplished was just a tiny segment for a successful establishment, I realized that there is an alternative model that unions the art and business instead of set the two subjects apart in traditional teachings. The intersection of the art and business is the ideal place where I could utilize everything I have studied to the
I chose to write about Jim Germaux’s Parallel Play because it evokes beauty in a unique way using pattern, line, and color Germaux’s Parallel Play exemplifies beauty through eye-catching pattern. Each piece of this collection uses an arrangement of circles in a manner that is organized and yet spontaneous. The location of each circle is unpredictable, but the way the Germaux arranges the circles in his painting, side-by-side in no particular order, creates a sense of movement and playfulness that is attractive to the viewer’s eye. The viewer is drawn in by the mass quantity of these circles and is then challenged to look upon the spontaneity of the arrangement, and to try to find familiar patterns within. Germaux is making the viewer move his or her eyes over the circle pattern in several directions creating a commotion that pulls the viewer into the composition in such an effective way that is beautiful.
Since P.K teachers have presented themselves as wise respected figures.

However, as an art college student we've come to realize that it's okay to sometimes resist this professor-student hegemony in order to be able to follow our own beliefs and expectations.

By studying this book, students would learn about the complexities of imagery, a device which is present in almost all forms of art.

Growing in an arts-rich environment during students’ time in secondary school has benefits that extend to their higher education. High school students who had high levels of arts engagement were 19% more likely to aspire to college than were students with less arts engagement (Catterall 14). 71% of students with a low socioeconomic status who had arts-rich experiences attended some sort of college after high school, compared to only 48% of the low-arts students. 22% more high-arts students from the low socioeconomic group, compared with low-arts students in that group, attended a four-year college (10). Arts-engaged high school students enrolled in competitive colleges at a 15% higher rate than did low arts-engaged students (15).

Arts and crafts are often thought of today as something that only children partake in. They can easily be done with your hands and are small hobbies. To people in the late 19th century, arts and crafts were about connecting to your surroundings rather than just filling the time. The arts and crafts movement began a revolution of people who sought to use their hands rather than big machinery to create something. Through meaningful interactions with their materials, people who partook in these activities gained meaningful insights.
Conflict has been brewing in the school over an unfunded mural planned by the Art Club.

This text is taken from a lecture that was given by William Morris about the importance of the arts. In this lecture he tries to convince his audience why the arts are beneficial and should be available to not only the wealthy but also ordinary people. He uses personification and imagery in order to make what he is saying more interesting, and also uses inclusive language to appeal to the whole audience. The first paragraph begins with the personification of Science; “And Science - we have loved her well, and followed her diligently, what will she do?”.
