Art Education in Schools


Keep Art Education in Schools Today

Art is important because it inspires the open-minded creativity of  diversity in intellectual projects which requires mainly left brain skills. It is essential to reviving kids nature, their soul and even their dexterity.


Rap is a culture because...


Rap is a culture because...well, music plays a part in uniting people in their tasks and activities for one and secondly they have similar "hip hop" or "rap" clothing lines that closely relate them together as well. They also have a common language they use outside of other cultures, known as ebonics, or black english vernacular, that helps them to effectively communicate their messages to each other. These are just a few characeristics to name about the culture of rap, as well as others.

Human Behavior in Art Form


Cave Paintings-15K-10K B.C.

I think this cave painting is really cool. It has a symbolic meaning underlying the primal nature and behavior of humans hunting for food and expressing how humans in that time perceived the outside world. This is known as art therapy which existed some 30K years ago, and it was first psychoanalyzed in the 1920s in various newspaper articles. Today, there are "over 10K registered Art Therapists worldwide."

Human Nature in Art Form


"The Close of the Silver Age" by Lucas Cranach the Elder

I believe this is a close representation of human nature because this painting illustrates the essence of human beings being comfortable (in mind and body) with themselves showing off their natural nudity during the German Renaissance. It is also evident that their "rebirth" constitutes being as close to their natural selves as possible (women as nurturing their children and men as aggressive and more untamed).

Public Art



 Public Art: Omaha Chamber of Commerce Projects
I think these projects are really cool and creative like that of Assemblage Art or Op Art. Whereas sponsored projects like these are legal in many places, it is illegal to block or mask public property with public art like those of graffiti artists. I have included another video in which case it WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

Poetry Slam


THIS IS SOMETHING I believe is a very unique type of art. In fact, I did not know that this type of standup poetry existed...It fascinates me but also confuses me a little about what the man is talking about at first, but the SLAM builds up in the video when he connects his reasons together for spelling "m-o-t-h-e-r" for the word "father" in a spelling bee because of his childhood and not having a father growing up. 

I know what art is


I KNOW WHAT ART IS

Art is the interpersonal stimulus and expression of the creativity with the mind, body and soul. It is without prejudice or discourse, and often is without rationality like the way our minds think in our dreams. Art can involve several different tastes, from colorful and juicy like graffiti to nudity to totally blank canvases. I like art.
