.. Its organic unity is its value." (McCain 151) while interesting in theory the concept in practical use is a little vague. McCain goes on to state that, "On this view, then, objects of art may have intrinsic value (as they successfully realize a novel diversity-in-unity), cultural value (as symbols of some cultural unity), and economic value (in that some individual is willing to pay for them)." (153) It seems to be a recurring motif that it comes down to the concept of value as related to the popular expression in the culture. Similar to the real estate market in different areas, the exact same hoe can go for various prices dependent on the location. And then there is provenance.
The origin or source of artistic material does changes the value of the material itself. The author uses the example of creating an exact replica, molecule by molecule, of a Rembrandt.….

Edward Henry Potthast

Introduction and Biography

Edward Henry Potthast has been remembered mostly for the beach scenes and the atmosphere of carefree ideals that he created.

He was an American, born in 1857 (Bio, 2005). He passed away in 1927, but not before leaving his mark on the artistic world (Bio, 2005). He was generally considered to be one of the most significant American artists within the 19th-century and he came from Cincinnati which was growing as an arts center very rapidly at the time of Potthast's birth (Bio, 2005). Cincinnati was often also judged to be a good refuge for immigrants from Germany, and this included the Potthast family.

He began his study at the McMicken School of Design and also at the Cincinnati Academy (Bio, 2005). After that he went briefly to Europe and then became an illustrator and lithographer back in Cincinnati. He moved to New York City in….

Arts and Humanities in Rousseau's Second Discourse and other Pieces of ork

In the second discourse, Rousseau changes progress and decries imprisoning in men, in a fabricated logic of civilization. Rousseau uses striking language, "the sciences, letters and arts….." However, he believes that the new arts and sciences portray the appearance but not the reality of virtue, which he believes is core to civilization. In addition, he asserts that humanity in the state of nature was ethical and good because, in their primitive simplicity, human beings could not deceive each other (Gourevitch 23-59). However, the sciences undermine morality and threaten the well-being of human beings. Therefore, civilization based on these sciences is a mode of concealing the vices of humanity. To make strong his point, Rousseau gives an example of the Spartans whom he describes as virtuous. He condemns the….

g. By teaching the child to sing with other people, the latent function of the exercise would be the child learning to adjust to other people and adopt to different and changing circumstances.
For the rather higher levels of Graders 9-12, in their theater classes, they are expected to learn scriptwriting, to communicate and sustain different characters, learn to interpret dramatic texts, and analyze, critique, and scrutinize the different art forms (Education World Website, 2008). At this point, one is expected to learn to have a more solid understanding of art to be able to discriminate and evaluate one art form from another. More than learning the basics of theater production, one can interpret the achievement standards as cultivating critical knowledge in the minds of students. The value of critical minds is deemed important especially when they grow old, when different options shall be laid before them, when competing motives hide….

Arts Education in California public schools have become a permanent feature in advancing their extra curriculum. It seems to benefit majority of the students, as such a subject is helpful in exercising a kids' mind while concentrating on other area. Though the governor of California needs to allocate monies for such programs so that in the upcoming years more students can benefit by participating in these areas.
Education- Curriculum

Arts education is taking a wild turnover, introducing new methods, variety of opportunities in schools and colleges, hence elaborating it into a vast subject.

While we contemplate about its roots, we must extract its importance in our daily lives and the role it plays in a person's daily developments. Most schools offer their students arts, music and theatre as an extracurricular activity, in order to expand and exercise their mental capability. Achieving outstanding grades in subjects, such as Maths, Latin, English, French, History and….

Art School
Applying for a scholarship to any educational institution is a daunting experience and one that should not be taken lightly. In this application I look to display the characteristics and desire necessary to garner a scholarship as a manner for achieving great tasks and accomplishments in my educational and art endeavors. The facility to which I am applying provides me with opportunities to further my desires to excel in the art community, to complete projects and experience tutelage that might otherwise be missing from my endeavors.

Some of the endeavors in which I am seeking assistance include a new art project that seeks to present the art community with 'windows' into the new city of Tehran. By focusing on both temporal and spiritual windows I hope to portray the hope that is resilient in all humans, but especially in the citizens of Tehran as they cope and recover from years….

Arts and healing: A group process
The group summary

The group I chose to observe is one that focused on Arts, spirituality, and healing, called Personal Mythology. This was a weekend workshop to engage people in the theories and experiences that are presented by Feinstein & Krippner (1997) in The Mythic Path: Discovering the Guiding Stories of your past -- Creating a Vision for your Future. The workshop was designed to serve 2 purposes as follows: (1) An intensive exposure to the work of personal mythology; (2) An intensive process of the work of personal mythology. People came together not only to engage with the intensive experience and begin the work of personal mythology but also in hopes of understanding how to make it an ongoing life process and help others in their spheres of influence to do the same.

In the Invitation of their book, Feinstein and Krippner (1997) describe one's personal….


There is a relationship between form and aesthetic sports since aesthetic is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with the nature of art and criteria of artistic judgment while form sports encompasses other forms of creative activities such as dance of which dance is an art form that refers to movement of the body for example, gymnastics.

Yes.

I consider sports as an art since sports have many affinities with art .For example, drum corps, dance sports and artistic gymnastics. I also consider sports as an art because there are some activities which have elements of sports and art such as free running, wrestling, body building and performance arts such as dance and drama.

I also consider sports as an art because in both of them one must be dedicated and committed to achieve .If an athlete views himself as an artist he can transform sports to art by dedicating and committing….

Both of his eyes have white in them as if to signify a glimmer of hope. He is serious, but there is also a warmth about his expression. On his right lapel there is a circle -- the upper part of the circle is blue and the lower part is red and white stripes as if to depict the American flag. He wears a white shirt, red tie and a dark blue suit jacket. On the bottom of the image, H-O-P-E is written in light blue all capital letters.
His face is probably the most interesting aspect of the piece as well as the focal point. The different colors on his face seem to represent all the different colors of Americans. It could also be a depiction of the fact that Obama had a white mother and a black father. Either way, we see in his face a lot of….

Nurses can help in this process however, if they understand their roles, as outlined in this paper, which include self-empowerment, quality patient care and collaboration (ANA, 2007).
Conclusion

This topic is important because literature confirms that self-care management of graduate nurses and other providers may "significantly improve medical outcomes" especially among patients with "complicated" diseases or those that rely on frequent doctor or RN check-ups (Taylor et al., 1058).

The author proposes more attention be given to education, specifically orientation training for new graduate nurses that focuses on the self-care management model role so new graduates know what their role is in empowering patients to recovery, but also keep in mind how important it is to care for their own health and wellness.

Outline

The graduate nurse must be aware of the many elements that may impact their performance, including self-care or management. This paper introduces the concept of self-care management and defines the….

arts bring to education?" The author begins with a history of education and testing. Standardised tests are critical to admission into universities and colleges. These tests to do not accurately assess a student's depth of knowledge nor do the tests test a spectrum of skills -- only a few skills are necessary to be successful on such tests. The author argues that art classes develop skills and habits of thinking benefitting every student. Practicing art develops practical skills that are key to success in life as well as success in the academic and professional realms. Some skills the author pays particular attention to are those of self-reflection, self-criticism, understanding and making choices, and what the author calls "mucking about until something happens." The author contends that traditional perspectives toward art and art education must be modified in order to perceive and exploit the potential of art for the development….

Arts Propel
PAGES 4 WORDS 1279

conceived by educational and cognition psychologist Howard Gardner
According the most current incarnation of the website devoted to the project and philosophy of Arts Propel, "Arts Propel is a five-year, collaborative effort involving Harvard Project Zero, the Educational Testing Service (ETS), and the teachers and administrators of the Pittsburgh Public Schools." (Arts Propel, 2003, retrieved at (http://www.pz.harvard.edu/Research/PROPEL.htm) It is a program designed to better integrate arts education into the often-confining educational framework of the American public school system. In other words, rather than teach art like reading or mathematics, in an Arts Propel classroom, "students approach the art form along three crisscrossing pathways that give Arts PROPEL its name."

These "crossings" include, but are not limited to production, where "students are inspired to learn the basic skills and principles of the art form by putting their ideas into music, words, or visual form," then perception, "where students study works of art….

Students are complex creatures, volatile, complicated and paradoxical. No two students learn alike, and no two students are the product of the same biological and cognitive processing mechanisms. In modern society, educators have taken the standpoint that students should be taught utilizing one method, a verbal learning approach. In the traditional sense, this warrants one teacher standing in front of a large classroom of students, lecturing about a particular subject matter.
This method of teaching defies reason. Students are not simply verbal learning mechanisms. Many students learn visually. In fact, in a society as visually programmed as that in which we live today, the most logical method of instruction should revolve around visual learning methods, not simply verbal. In a traditional classroom setting, students are not provided an arena to experience a democratic way of learning. The use of arts and visually oriented learning methodologies to pass on knowledge has begun….

Art Culture: Public Space Art
Public art like that of Koon's Train (2011), Serra's Tilted Arc (1981), Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1981), and James' Sea Flower (1978), ignite discussion to the point of its modification, re-arrangement, or removal. The reason for this controversial treatment of public art is its ability to embrace a variety of aesthetic practices. The adoption of different aesthetic values like poster art, outdoor sculpture, earthworks, multimedia projections, and community-based projects among others, breaks the public's traditional understanding of art (Glahn, 2000). This critique finds that the public's totalizing classification of public sphere brings about controversy and dialogue over public art displays. By reviewing the famous public art "Tilted Arc" (1981) by Richard Serra, this analysis will show that there are distinct differences between public understanding and professional understanding of public art.

The government with the intention of exhibiting, protecting, and edifying art, commissions public art in America to….

Admittedly, these two teams were faced with a daunting challenge in acquiring and interpreting those works of art that were most appropriate for their exhibition goals, and interpretive efforts must use some framework in which to present the resources in a fashion that can be understood and appreciated by the targeted audiences.
Nevertheless, there is little or no discussion concerning the fusion of artistic styles in the two catalogs, with a preference for a neat and orderly, date by date, presentation of representative works that typify the points being made by the exhibition. Despite these shortcomings, both catalogs were shown to be authoritative references that were supported by relevant citations and imagery. Likewise, both catalogs provide useful overviews of the materials that are being presented preparatory to their interpretation, helping place the information in its historical context.

Conclusion

The research showed that interest and appreciation in colonial Latin American art has experienced….
