Art has the ability to make our world more
beautiful and make
certain
information
more
interesting which
can
open the doors of perception and
cause a person to
realize
something or be more
aware of
some other possibility. Art can also
inspire
people to think more and to dream more. Art is truly a blessing, and a
very unique
expression of human
intelligence.
Art and aesthetic experiences are beneficial to human health.
Creativity helps to make
new
connections and new synapses in the brain. The changes in neural
circuitry helps to increase the
brain's
plasticity. Exploring the arts also releases
feel-good hormones like
endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
Work of Art is an
aesthetic physical item or artistic
creation. Apart from "work of art", which may be used of any work regarded
as art in its widest sense, including works from
literature and
music,
these terms apply principally to
tangible, portable forms of visual art:
An example of fine art, such as a
painting or sculpture. An object that
has been designed specifically for its aesthetic appeal, such as a piece
of jewelry. An object that has been designed for aesthetic appeal as well
as
functional purpose, as in interior design and much folk art. An object
created for principally or entirely functional, religious or other
non-aesthetic reasons which has come to be appreciated as art (often
later, and/or by
cultural outsiders). A non-ephemeral
photograph, film or
visual computer program, such as a video game or
computer animation. A
work of installation art or
conceptual art. Used more broadly, the term is
less commonly applied to: A fine work of
architecture or
landscape design.
A production of live performance, such as theater, ballet, opera,
performance art, musical concert and other performing arts, and other
ephemeral, non-tangible creations.
Rights of Artists.
Magnum Opus is a large and

is a means for
storing or
communicating
information through
which something is
achieved. An
agency or an
instrument or means of doing something. The
intervening substance in the surrounding environment through which
impressions or
signals are
conveyed to the
senses. A
force that
acts on objects at a distance. Medium can also mean
a halfway point
between two extremes of a size or of another quality. An

Medium in the
communication process, is a channel or system of
communication—the means by which
information or the message is transmitted
between a speaker or writer (the sender) and an audience (the receiver).
I'm Just a Vessel is a phrase that
denotes a person whom God calls upon and uses as a
vessel to carry a
message and to do
valuable work. Being a
vessel into which God fills
divine wisdom and
grace. A vessel unto honor,
sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good
work. (II Tim. 2:21). Each of you should use whatever gift you have
received to
serve others.
I didn't
write that,
it was the millions of
people who helped to educate me that wrote those words, I am just an
instrument for everything that life has given me. And
I am proud to be of service to life,
especially human life. All I did was listen and learn, and not make
assumptions. Everything else I have came from ancestors and from the
millions of people who contributed to life over the last ten thousand
years, people who were smart enough to share knowledge and preserve
knowledge. So what did I do? I listened, I learned, and I tried not make
assumptions. So what I did is not much when you compare it to the millions
of people who helped make me who I am. The most I did was I took
everything that people gave me and I used it to make the most positive and
beneficial changes that I possibly could make. So I'm passing a baton, but
it's more like a scroll, a digital scroll, a scroll that has large amounts
of knowledge and information, along with the power and the potential of
billions of humans. So please take care of it.
Instrument is a person used by another to

observable and
leaving nothing to implication. Indicate through a

evidence of
something.
Expression is the

Artistic Freedom can be defined as "

free of governmental censorship, political interference or the pressures

Artist Intention.
Artists are
communicators who
say something to beholders through their work. This
way of thinking about
the artist's
intended meaning makes an
analogy between artwork and
language, specifically literature, where a
text may be thought to be a form of the author's speaking.
Surrealist Automatism is a method of art
making in which the artist
suppresses conscious control over the making
process, allowing the
unconscious mind to have great sway.
Illusionism in art history means either the artistic tradition in
which artists create a work of art that appears to share the physical
space with the viewer or more broadly the attempt to represent physical
appearances precisely – also called mimesis. The term realist may be used
in this sense, but that also has rather different meanings in art, as it
is also used to cover the choice of ordinary everyday subject-matter, and
avoiding idealizing subjects.
Process Art is an artistic movement as well
as a creative sentiment where the end product of art and craft,
the objet
d’art, is not the principal focus.
Art Methodology refers to a studied and constantly reassessed,
questioned method within the arts, as opposed to a
method merely applied (without
thought). This
process of studying the
method and reassessing its effectiveness allows art to move on and change.
It is not the thing itself but it is an essential part of the process. An
artist drawing, for instance, may choose to draw from what he or she
observes in front of them, or from what they imagine or from what they
already know about the subject. These 3 methods will, very probably,
produce 3 very different pictures. A careful methodology would include
examination of the materials and tools used and how a different type of
canvas/brush/paper/pencil/rag/camera/chisel etc. would produce a different
effect. The artist may also look at various effects achieved by starting
in one part of a canvas first, or by working over the whole surface
equally. An author may experiment with stream of consciousness writing, as
opposed to naturalistic narrative, or a combination of styles.

Juxtaposition of elements is used
to
elicit a response within the
audience's
mind, such as
creating meaning from the
contrast or the
context. In
music, juxtaposition
is an abrupt
change of elements, and is a
procedure of
musical contrast.
In
film, juxtaposition is the position of shots next to one another
that is intended
to have this effect like with a montage. In
painting and
photography,
the juxtaposition of
colours,
shapes, etc, is used to create contrast, while the position of particular
kinds of objects one upon the other or
different kinds of characters in
proximity to one another is intended to
evoke
meaning. Various forms of juxtaposition occur in
literature, where
two images that are otherwise not commonly brought together appear
side by side
or
structurally close together, thereby forcing the reader to stop and
reconsider the meaning of the text through the contrasting images, ideas,
motifs, etc. More broadly, an author can
juxtapose contrasting
types of characters,
such as a hero and a rogue
working together to achieve a common objective
from very different motivations.
“When a
person sacrifices his right to self-expression for the sake of
survival, his very
survival is endangered, not from without but from within. With the
surrender of the right to self-expression the meaning of life is lost.
This is not a psychological phenomenon only. Self-expression is the direct
and immediate manifestation of the life force in an individual.
Self-expression is equivalent to life expression and a life that isn’t
expressed, isn’t being lived. That leads to a slow death.”
Alexander Lowen (wiki) The Voice of the Body.
Self-Realization.
Art to me is
exploring your imagination, it’s expressing, it’s creating, it's
educational, and it's
communication. Sometimes I look at
art as a pause in
time where someone uses
the physical world to express an idea or to ask a question, what
is this? And the question is not so much focused
on the art itself, but something else. In a way, Art becomes more
of a reminder that tells us to always ask "what is
this?" And Art does not guarantee
that you will
find an answer, but at the least it will make you see that there
will always be things beyond your
awareness. And that
stimulation of the
brain is the seed of evolution.
Art is another way at looking at things, which is extremely
important. If we don't open our minds to other possibilities, then we will
never ask the questions that will allow us to keep on
progressing. But even though we
are progressing, we are still not progressing in all the ways that we
should. So it's not just the art itself, it's the questions that art can
give rise to. Not to say that we need art to learn, because humans
learn in many different ways. But having
art is still valuable, but it's value is in the hidden
information that can
only be
deciphered if the person
has the knowledge that would allow them to see
beyond the surface, and
understand
beyond the known
senses.
Celebrate or
Celebration is a
joyful
occasion for
special festivities to mark some
happy event. Any
joyous diversion. A celebration can be a
public performance or a
ceremony with all appropriate
rituals.

Arts activities may improve self-control and reduce antisocial behavior
among teenagers. Teenagers who take part in arts and cultural
activities, such as dance, drama, reading and going to concerts, are less
likely to engage in
antisocial and
criminalized
behavior up to two years later, according to a new study. Researchers
looked at data from more than 25,000 teenagers in the United States who
had filled out questionnaires over several years.
Art evokes feelings in the body. A new study reveals how viewing
visual art affects our emotions. The research subjects viewed different
kinds of artworks and described the feelings that the art stimulated in
their bodies. The researchers recorded the subjects' eye movement while
they viewed the art. In addition, the subjects assessed what kind of
emotions each piece of art evoked. Our results suggest that our bodies
have a significant role in the aesthetic experience. Bodily sensations can
draw people to art: art evokes feelings in the body, and such stimulation
of the body's pleasure centres feels pleasant to the viewer. This is why
the emotions and bodily sensations evoked by art can be used, for example,
in mental health rehabilitation and care.

Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting
style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works
by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using
machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to
artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI
models like a dramatically different art style. For example, human eyes
might find a glazed charcoal portrait with a realism style to be
unchanged, but an AI model might see the glazed version as a modern
abstract style, a la Jackson Pollock. So when someone then prompts the
model to generate
art mimicking the
charcoal artist, they will get something quite different from what they
expected.

Sculpture
is the branch of the

three
dimensions. It is one of the
plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes
originally used carving or the removal of material, and
modeling or the
addition of material, as clay, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other
materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom
of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by
removal such as carving,
assembled by
welding or modelling, or
molded, or
cast.

Carving is the act of
using
tools to
shape something from a material by scraping
away portions of that
material.
The technique can be applied to any material that is solid enough to hold
a form even when pieces have been removed from it, and yet soft enough for
portions to be scraped away with available tools. Carving, as a means for
making stone or wooden sculpture, is distinct from methods using soft and
malleable
materials like clay,
fruit, and melted glass, which may be shaped into the desired forms while
soft and then harden into that form. Carving tends to require much more
work than methods using malleable
materials.
Stone Carving is an activity where pieces of rough natural stone are
shaped by the controlled removal of stone. Owing to the
permanence of the
material, stone work has survived which was created during our
prehistory.

Engraving is the practice of incising a
design onto a hard, usually
flat surface by cutting grooves into it with a burin. The result may be a
decorated object in itself, as when
silver, gold, steel, or
glass are engraved, or may provide an intaglio
printing plate,
of copper or another
metal, for
printing images on paper as prints or
illustrations; these
images are also
called "engravings". Engraving is one of the oldest and most important
techniques in
printmaking.
Engraved Gem or intaglio is a small and usually
semi-precious gemstone that
has been carved with images or inscriptions only on one face, normally in

Neuroesthetics is a relatively recent sub-discipline of empirical
aesthetics. Empirical aesthetics takes a scientific approach to the study
of aesthetic perceptions of art, music, or any object that can give rise
to aesthetic judgments. Neuroesthetics received its formal definition in
2002 as the scientific study of the neural bases for the contemplation and
creation of a work of art. Neuroesthetics uses neuroscience to explain and
understand the aesthetic experiences at the neurological level. The topic
attracts scholars from many disciplines including neuroscientists, art
historians, artists, art therapists and psychologists.
Theme is the subject matter of a
conversation or discussion. Theme is a unifying idea that is a recurrent
element in literary or artistic work. A theme in music is the melodic
subject of a musical composition. A theme in linguistics is the form of a
word after all affixes are removed. An essay.
Style is a distinctive manner which permits the grouping of works into
related
categories, or any distinctive, and therefore
recognizable, way in which an act is performed or an artifact made or
ought to be performed and made. It refers to the visual appearance of a
work of art that relates it to other works by the same artist or one from
the same period, training, location, "school", art movement or
archaeological culture: "The notion of style has long been the art
historian's principal mode of classifying works of art. By style he
selects and shapes the history of art". Style is often divided into the
general style of a period, country or cultural group, group of artists or
art movement, and the individual style of the artist within that group
style. Divisions within both types of styles are often made, such as
between "early", "middle" or "late". In some artists, such as Picasso for
example, these divisions may be marked and easy to see, in others they are
more subtle. Style is seen as usually dynamic, in most periods always
changing by a gradual process, though the speed of this varies greatly,
between the very slow development in style typical of prehistoric art or
Ancient Egyptian art to the rapid changes in Modern art styles. Style
often develops in a series of jumps, with relatively sudden changes
followed by periods of slower development.
Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual
elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of
a work according to the principles of art such as balance,

Illustration is a
decoration,
interpretation or visual explanation of a text, concept or process,
designed for integration
in
print and digital published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines,
books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films. An
illustration is typically created by an illustrator. Digital illustrations
are often used to make websites and apps more user-friendly, such as the
use of emojis to accompany digital type. Illustration also means
providing an example; either in
writing or in picture form. The origin of the word "illustration" is late
Middle English (in the sense
‘illumination; spiritual or intellectual enlightenment’): via Old
French from Latin illustratio(n-), from the verb illustrare.
Technical
illustration is the use of illustration to
visually communicate
information of a
technical nature. Technical illustrations can be
components of
technical drawings or diagrams. Technical illustrations in
general aim "to generate expressive images that effectively convey certain
information via the visual channel to the human observer". Technical
illustrations generally have to describe and explain the subjects to a
nontechnical audience. Therefore, the visual image should be accurate in
terms of dimensions and proportions, and should provide "an overall
impression of what an object is or does, to enhance the viewer’s interest and understanding".

Animation
is the
process of making the
illusion of
motion and the
illusion of change by means of the
rapid display of a
sequence of images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as
in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the
phi phenomenon,
which is the
optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed
in rapid succession, as continuous motion.
Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion
picture film, video tape,
digital media, including formats with animated
GIF, Flash animation, and digital video. To display animation, a digital
camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that
are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation
creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and
three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images
are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per
second. Computer animation processes generating animated images with the general term
Computer Generated
Imagery (CGI).

Emblem is a special
design or visual object representing
a quality, type, group, or an
abstract idea.
Seal as an emblem is a device for making an impression in wax,
clay, paper, or some other medium, including an embossment on paper, and
is also the impression thus made. The original purpose was to authenticate
a document, a wrapper for one such as a modern envelope, or the cover of a
container or package holding valuables or other objects.

Sign is
an object, quality, event, or entity whose presence or occurrence
indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else. A natural
sign bears a causal relation to its object—for instance, thunder is a sign
of storm, or medical symptoms signify a disease. A conventional sign
signifies by agreement, as a full stop signifies the end of a sentence;
similarly the words and expressions of a
language,
as well as
bodily
gestures, can be regarded as signs, expressing particular meanings.
The physical objects most commonly referred to as signs (notices,
road
signs, etc., collectively known as signage) generally inform or
instruct using written text,
symbols,
pictures or a combination of these. The
philosophical study of signs and symbols is called semiotics; this
includes the study of semiosis, which is the way in which signs (in the
semiotic sense) operate.
Signage
is the design or use of signs and symbols to communicate a message to a
specific group, usually for the purpose of marketing or a kind of
advocacy. A signage also means signs collectively or being considered as a
group. Signs are any kind of
visual graphics created
to
display information to a
particular audience. This is typically manifested in the form of
wayfinding information in
places such as streets or on the inside and outside buildings. Signs vary
in form and size based on location and intent, from more expansive
banners,
billboards, and
murals,
to smaller street signs, street name signs,
sandwich boards and lawn signs. Newer signs may also use digital or
electronic displays. The main
purpose of signs is to
communicate, to
convey information designed to assist the receiver with decision-making
based on the information provided. Alternatively, promotional signage may
be designed to persuade receivers of the merits of a given product or
service. Signage is distinct from labeling, which conveys information
about a particular product or service.
Sign in semiotics is anything that communicates a meaning that is not
the sign itself to the interpreter of the sign. The
meaning can be
intentional such as a word uttered with a specific meaning, or
unintentional, such as a symptom being a sign of a particular medical
condition. Signs can
communicate through any of the
senses, visual,
auditory, tactile, olfactory, or taste.
Semiosis
is any form of activity, conduct, or process that involves signs,
including the production of meaning. Briefly – semiosis is sign process.
Flags.
Semiotics the study of signs and sign processes, indication,
designation, likeness, analogy, allegory, metonymy, metaphor, symbolism,
signification, and communication. The semiotic tradition explores the
study of signs and symbols as a significant part of communications.
Different from linguistics, semiotics also studies non-linguistic sign
systems.
Illuminated Manuscript
is a
manuscript in which the text is
supplemented with such
decoration as initials, borders
or marginalia and
miniature illustrations. In the strictest definition, the term refers only
to
manuscripts decorated with gold or silver; but in both common usage and
modern scholarship, the term refers to any decorated or illustrated
manuscript from Western traditions.

Artistic
Rendering in visual art and technical drawing means the process of
formulating, adding color, shading, and texturing of an image. It can also
be used to describe the quality of execution of that process. When used as
a means of expression, it is synonymous with illustrating. However, it may
be used for mere
visualization of existing data regardless of any
preconceived message or idea to express. Artistic rendering is the
application of visual art styles to rendering. For
photorealistic
rendering styles, the emphasis is on accurate reproduction of
light-and-shadow and the surface properties of the depicted objects,
composition, or other more generic qualities. When the emphasis is on
unique interpretive rendering styles, visual information is
interpreted by the artist and displayed accordingly using the chosen art
medium and level of abstraction in abstract art. In
computer graphics,
interpretive rendering styles are known as non-photorealistic rendering
styles, but may be used to simplify technical illustrations. Rendering
styles that combine photorealism with non-photorealism are known as
hyper-realistic rendering styles.
Masking in art is the protecting of a selected area from being change
during production.
Visual Masking is a phenomenon of visual perception when the
visibility of one image, called a target, is reduced by the presence of
another image, called a mask.
Picture is
graphic art consisting of an artistic
composition made by
applying paints to a surface. A
clear and telling mental image. A situation treated as an
observable
object.
Illustrations used to decorate or explain a text. A form of
entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence of
images giving
the illusion of continuous movement. The visible part of a television
transmission. A graphic or vivid verbal description. A typical example of
some state or quality. A representation of a person or scene in the form
of a
print or transparent slide; recorded by a
camera on light-sensitive
material.
Compositing is the
combining of visual elements from separate sources
into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements
are parts of the same scene. Live-action shooting for compositing is
variously called "
chroma
key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other names. Today, most,
though not all, compositing is achieved through digital image
manipulation. Pre-digital compositing techniques, however, go back as far
as the trick films of Georges Méliès in the late 19th century; and some
are still in use.
Deep Canvas
is a 3D painting and rendering technique that allows artists to produce
CGI background that looks like a traditional painting. The software keeps
track of brushstrokes applied in 3D space.

Storyboard is a graphic organizer in the form of
illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of
pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive
media sequence. The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today,
was developed at Walt Disney Productions during the early 1930s, after
several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other
animation studios.
Artisan
is a
skilled craft worker
who makes or creates things by hand that may be functional or strictly
decorative, for example furniture, decorative arts, sculptures, clothing,
jewelry, food items, household items and tools or even mechanisms such as
the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft
and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an
artist.
Art Categories.
Craft is a pastime or a profession that requires particular
skills and knowledge of skilled work. In a historical sense, particularly
as pertinent to the Middle Ages and earlier, the term is usually applied
to people occupied in small-scale production of goods, or their
maintenance.
Professions (skilled workers).
Performing - Performances
Theater
is a
collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers, typically
actors or
actresses,
to
present the experience of a
real or
imagined event before a live
audience in a specific place, often a
stage. The performers may
communicate this
experience to the audience through combinations of
gesture,
speech, song,
music, and
dance. Elements of art, such as
painted
scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the
physicality, presence and immediacy of the
experience.
Musical Theatre is a form of theatrical performance that
combines
songs,
spoken dialogue,
acting, and
dance.

Performance is Work
Community Theatre refers to theatrical performance made in relation to
particular communities—its usage includes theatre made by, with, and for a
community. It may refer to theatre that is made entirely by a community
with no outside help, or to a collaboration between community members and
professional theatre artists, or to performance made entirely by
professionals that is addressed to a particular community. Community
theatres range in size from small groups led by single individuals that
perform in borrowed spaces to large permanent companies with well-equipped
facilities of their own. Many community theatres are successful,
non-profit businesses with a large active membership and, often, a
full-time professional staff. Community theatre is often devised and may
draw on popular theatrical forms, such as carnival, circus, and parades,
as well as performance modes from commercial theatre.
Play is a
dramatic work and a
theatrical performance by actors on a
stage that is presented for
public viewing. A deliberate
coordinated movement requiring
dexterity and skill of a drama intended for performance. To act or have an
effect in a specified way or with a specific effect or outcome.
Pretend to have certain qualities or state
of mind. Play can also mean to engage in
playful activity where 1 or more
people participate in games or in sports for just amusement, or for
competition so as to compare and measure abilities.
Play is a work of
drama,
usually consisting mostly of dialogue between characters and intended for
theatrical performance rather than just reading. The writer of a play is a
playwright.
Screenplay is a
written work by
screenwriters for a film, television program, or video game. These
screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of
writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression and
dialogues of the
characters are also
narrated. A screenplay written for television is also
known as a teleplay.
Teleplay
is a
screenplay or
script used in the production of a scripted television
program or series. In general usage, the term is most commonly seen in
reference to a standalone production, such as a television film, a
television play, or an episode of an anthology series. In internal
industry usage, however, all television scripts (including episodes of
ongoing drama or comedy series) are teleplays, although a "teleplay"
credit may be subsumed into a "written by" credit depending on the
circumstances of its creation. The term first surfaced during the 1950s
with wide usage to distinguish teleplays from stage plays written for
theater and screenplays written for films. All three have different
formats, conventions, and constraints.
Audience
are
assembled spectators or
listeners at a public event,
such as a play, a movie, a concert, or a
meeting. A group of people who
participate in a show or encounter something like art.
Spectator is a close
observer or someone who looks at
something such as an exhibition of some kind.
Para-Social Interaction refers to a kind of psychological relationship
experienced by an audience in their mediated encounters with performers in
the mass media, particularly on television. Viewers or listeners come to
consider media personalities as friends, despite having limited
interactions with them. PSI is described as an illusionary experience,
such that media audiences interact with personas (e.g., talk show host,
celebrities, fictional characters, social media influencers) as if they
are engaged in a reciprocal relationship with them.
Perform is to carry out an
action or
function. To get
something done. To give a performance of something.
Performing
Arts are a form of art in which artists use their voices
and/or their bodies, often in relation to other objects, to convey
artistic expression. It is different from
visual arts, which is when
artists use paint/canvas or various materials to create physical or static
art objects.
Performing arts include several disciplines.
Not everyone performs
in front of live audiences.
Performance Art is a performance presented to an
audience within a fine art
context, traditionally
interdisciplinary.
Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random,
carefully orchestrated, spontaneous or otherwise carefully
planned with or without
audience participation. The performance can be live or via media and the
performer can be present or absent. It can be any situation that involves
four basic elements:
time,
space, the performer's
body, or presence in a
medium, and a
relationship between performer and audience. Performance art
can happen anywhere, in any type of venue or setting and for any length of
time. The actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in
a particular time constitute the
work.
Performance in the
performing arts, generally comprises an
event in which a performer or
group of performers
present one or more works of art to an audience.
Usually the performers participate in
rehearsals beforehand. Afterwards
audience members often applaud.
Performance also means the
action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or
function. Perform is to
carry out an
action or
function and put something into
effect that
gets
something done or achieves a particular
goal.
Street Performance is the act of performing in public places for
gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of
money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given.
Street performance is practiced all over the world and dates back to
antiquity. People engaging in this practice are called street performers
or
buskers in the United Kingdom. Buskers
is not a term generally used in American English. Performances are
anything that people find entertaining. Performers may do
acrobatics,
animal tricks,
balloon twisting,
caricatures,
clowning, comedy,
contortions,
escapology, dance, singing,
fire skills,
flea circus,
fortune-telling,
juggling,
magic,
mime,
living statue,
musical performance,
puppeteering,
snake charming,
storytelling or reciting poetry or
prose,
street art such as
sketching and painting,
street theatre,
sword swallowing, and
ventriloquism.
Debut is to
perform in public for the first time. A person's first appearance or
performance in a particular capacity or role.
Street Theatre is a form of theatrical performance and presentation in
outdoor public spaces without a specific paying audience. These spaces can
be anywhere, including shopping centers, car parks, recreational reserves,
college or university campus and street corners. They are especially seen
in outdoor spaces where there are large numbers of people. The actors who
perform street theatre range from buskers to organized theatre companies
or groups that want to experiment with performance spaces, or to promote
their mainstream work. It was a source of providing information to people
when there were no sources of providing information like television, radio
etc. Nowadays, street play is used to convey a message to the crowd
watching it. Street play is considered to be the rawest form of acting,
because one does not have a microphone or loud speakers. Sometimes
performers are commissioned, especially for street festivals, children's
shows or parades, but more often street theatre performers are unpaid or
gather some income through the dropping of a coin in a hat by the
audience.
Fame Dangers.
Improvisational Theatre is the form of theatre, often
comedy, in which
most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted: created
spontaneously by the performers. In
its purest form, the dialogue, action, story, and characters are created
collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present
time, without use of an already prepared, written script.
Entertainment is a form of
activity that holds the attention
and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight.
Impresario is a sponsor who books and
stages public entertainments.
Festivals.
Exhibition in art is a
collection of things for public display.
Exhibitionist.
Portraying is to assume or act the
character of someone. To represent something abstractly. To describe
something in words.
Voice Acting is
the art of performing voice-overs to represent a character or provide
information to an audience. Performers are called voice
actors/actresses,
voice artists or voice talent. In the UK, voice acting is recognized as a
specialized
dramatic profession,
primarily due to the BBC's long tradition of radio drama production.
Examples of voice work include animated, off-stage, off-screen or
non-visible characters in various works such as feature films, dubbed
foreign-language films, animated films, anime,
television shows, video games,
cartoons, documentaries, commercials,
audiobooks,
radio dramas and
comedies, amusement rides, theater productions, puppet shows and audio
games.
Voice actors
are also heard through pre-recorded and automated announcements that are a
part of everyday modern life in areas such as shops, elevators, waiting
rooms and public transport. The role of a voice actor may involve singing,
most often when playing a fictional character, although a separate
performer is sometimes enlisted as the character's singing voice.
Mel
Blanc was an American
voice actor and
radio personality. After beginning
his over-60-year career performing in radio, he became known for his work
in animation as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and most
of the other characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies
theatrical cartoons during the golden age of American animation. He later
voiced characters for Hanna-Barbera's television cartoons, including
Barney Rubble on The Flintstones and Mr. Spacely on The Jetsons. During
the golden age of radio, Blanc also frequently performed on the programs
of comedians, including Jack Benny, Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen,
The Great Gildersleeve, and Judy Canova. Blanc was nicknamed "The Man of a
Thousand Voices", and is regarded as one of the most influential people in
the voice acting industry. (Mel Blanc was born Melvin Jerome Blank /blæŋk/;
May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989).
Set List
is a document that lists the songs that a band or musical artist intends
to play, or has played, during a specific concert performance.
Playlist
is a list of video or audio files that can be played back on a media
player either sequentially or in a shuffled order.
Dance is a
performance
art form consisting of purposefully selected
sequences of
human movement. This movement
has aesthetic and
symbolic value, and is acknowledged as
dance by performers
and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and
described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its
historical period or place of origin. An important distinction is to be
drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance, although
these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have
special functions, whether social,
ceremonial, competitive, erotic,
martial, or sacred/liturgical. Other forms of human movement are sometimes
said to have a dance-like quality, including martial arts, gymnastics,
figure skating,
synchronized swimming and many other forms of athletics.

Dancers are less neurotic. Amateur and professional dancers are less
neurotic than people who do not dance, study indicates.
Interpretive Dance seeks to
translate human
emotions, conditions,
situations or
fantasies into movement and dramatic expression like
high-flown style and lofty
movements of the arms, turns and drops to the
floor, or else adapts traditional ethnic movements into more modern
expressions that are enhanced by lavish costumes, ribbons or spandex body
suits.

Inverted Dancers have more acute visuomotor perception. People with
extended visuomotor experience with inverted movements, such as vertical
dancers, can overcome the inversion effect in perceiving biological
motion. Previous studies have determined that astronauts can judge
inverted movements better than people on Earth due to the astronauts'
unique visuomotor experience with inverted movements in space.
Inverted movement is moving the body upside
down in space while weight bearing with arms, hands, shoulders or head.
Visuomotor is relating to or denoting the
coordination of movement and
visual perception by
the brain.
Ballet
is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian
Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert
dance form in France and Russia.
Concert Dance is dance performed for an audience. It is frequently
performed in a theatre setting, though this is not a requirement, and it
is usually choreographed and performed to set music.
Choreography is the art or practice of designing
sequences of
movements of
physical bodies, or their depictions, in which
motion, form,
or both are specified. Choreography may also refer to the design itself. A
choreographer is one who creates choreographies by
practicing the art of
choreography, a
process known as choreographing, which is
composing a
sequence of dance steps, often to
music, and
planning and overseeing the
development and
details of a
production. Choreography is used in a
variety of fields, including musical theater, cheerleading,
cinematography, gymnastics, fashion shows, ice skating,
marching band,
show choir, theatre,
synchronized swimming, cardistry,
video game
production and animated art. In the performing arts, choreography applies
to human movement and form. In dance, choreography is also known as dance
choreography or dance composition.

Movement
Director arranges actors' movements in a variety of production
settings that include theatre, television,
film, opera, fashion and
animation. Movement directors usually work closely with the director and
the performers, collaborating with the creative team to realize the
physical life of a work. They propose a
physical language to performers
and directors, and devise training methods or teach skills that will help
facilitate a specific physical style. The movement director may create, or
research and pass on, embodied information about etiquette, ethnicities
(including proxemics,
gestural language,
social codes, etc.), a character’s condition (related to medical
conditions within their historical context, and factors such as
inebriation, pregnancy, etc.) and personal journey (ageing, etc.), as well
as specialist movement (e.g. period dances, dexterity in falling, lifts
and acrobatics, animal work, cross-gendered performance) or chorus work.
Although choreography is part of a movement directors’ skill-set, this
does not mean that every choreographer is also a movement director. There
are also important differences between the movement director and the fight
director, where although the movement director will engage with the effect
of the relevant weapons on posture, movement and emotional state, the
fight choreography itself is directed by the specifically qualified fight
director. Specialist movement consultants may focus on other specific
areas.
Dancing Mania was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in
mainland Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. It involved groups of
people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. The mania
affected adults and children who danced until they collapsed from
exhaustion and injuries. One of the first major outbreaks was in Aachen,
in the Holy Roman Empire (in modern-day Germany), in 1374, and it quickly
spread throughout Europe; one particularly notable outbreak occurred in
Strasbourg in 1518 in Alsace, also in the Holy Roman Empire (now France).
Affecting thousands of people across several centuries, dancing mania was
not an isolated event, and was well documented in contemporary reports.
"Dancing mania" is derived from the term "choreomania", from the Greek
choros (dance) and mania (madness). Theories suggest that the symptoms
were similar to encephalitis, epilepsy, and typhus, but as with ergotism,
those conditions cannot account for all symptoms.

Combat is a specialized technique in theatre designed to create the
illusion of
physical combat
without causing harm to the performers. It's employed in live stage plays
as well as operatic and ballet productions.
Acrobatics is the performance of extraordinary human feats of balance,
agility, and
motor coordination. It can be found in many of the performing
arts, sporting events, and martial arts. Acrobatics is most often
associated with activities that make extensive use of gymnastic elements,
such as acro dance, circus, and gymnastics, but many other athletic
activities — such as ballet and diving — may also employ acrobatics.
Although acrobatics is most commonly associated with human body
performance, it may also apply to other types of performance, such as
aerobatics.
Gymnastics is a sport that includes exercises requiring
balance,
strength,
flexibility,
agility,
coordination and
endurance. The movements
involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of the arms, legs,
shoulders, back, chest and abdominal muscle groups. Alertness, precision,
daring, self-confidence and self-discipline are mental traits that can
also be developed through gymnastics. Gymnastics evolved from exercises
used by the ancient Greeks that included skills for mounting and
dismounting a horse, and from circus performance skills. Other disciplines
include rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining and tumbling, acrobatic
gymnastics and aerobic gymnastics. Disciplines not currently recognized by
FIG include wheel gymnastics, aesthetic group gymnastics, men's
rhythmic gymnastics, TeamGym and mallakhamba.
Cheerleading routines typically contain components of tumbling, dance,
jumps, cheers, and
stunting. are defined as building performances displaying a person's
skill or dexterity.
Musical is a
film genre in which
songs sung by the
characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by
dancing.
Playwright
is a person who writes plays. Also known as a dramatist.
Casting in performing arts is a pre-production process for selecting a
certain type of actor, dancer, singer, or extra for a particular role or
part in a script, screenplay, or teleplay. This process is typically
utilized for a
motion picture,
television program, documentary, music video, play, or television
advertisement, etc. This involvement in a dramatic production,
advertisement, and or industrial video is intended for an audience, or
studio audience.
Audition
is a sample performance by an
actor, singer,
musician, dancer or other
performer. It typically involves the performer displaying their talent
through a previously memorized and rehearsed solo piece or by performing a
work or piece given to the performer at the audition or shortly before. In
some cases, such as with a model or acrobat, the individual may be asked
to demonstrate a range of professional skills. Actors may be asked to
present a monologue. Singers will perform a song in a popular music
context or an aria in a Classical context. A dancer will present a routine
in a specific style, such as ballet, tap dance or hip-hop, or show his or
her ability to quickly learn a choreographed dance piece. The audition is
a systematic process in which industry professionals select performers,
which is in some ways analogous to a job interview in the regular job
market. In an audition, the employer is testing the ability of the
applicant to meet the needs of the job and assess how well the individual
will take directions and deal with changes. After some auditions, after
the performer has demonstrated their abilities in a given performance
style, the audition panel may ask a few questions that resemble those used
in standard job interviews (e.g., regarding availability). Auditions are
required for many reasons in the performing arts world. Often, employing
companies or groups use auditions to select performers for upcoming shows
or productions. An audition for a performing opportunity may be for a
single performance (e.g., doing a monologue at a comedy club), for a
series or season of performances (a season of a Broadway play), or for
permanent employment with the performing organization (e.g., an orchestra
or dance troupe). Auditions for performing opportunities may be for
amateur, school, or community organizations, in which case the performers
will typically not be paid. As well, auditions are used to select or
screen candidates for entry to training programs (ballet school or circus
school); university programs (B.Mus, M.Mus, MFA in Theater);
performance-related scholarships and grants; or to be considered for
representation by a talent agency or individual agent.

Screen
Test is a method of determining the suitability of an actor or
actress
for performing on
film or in a particular role. The performer is generally
given a scene, or selected lines and actions, and instructed to perform in
front of a camera to see if they are suitable. The developed film is later
evaluated by the relevant production personnel such as the casting
director and the director. The actor may be asked to bring a prepared
monologue or alternatively, the actor may be given a script to read at
sight ("cold reading"). In some cases, the actor may be asked to read a
scene, in which another performer reads the lines of another character.
Cameo Appearance is a brief appearance or voice part of a known person
in a work of the
performing arts. These roles are generally small, many of
them
non-speaking ones, and are commonly
either appearances in a work in which they hold some special significance
(such as actors from an original
movie appearing in its remake) or
renowned people making uncredited appearances.

Extra in acting is a
performer in a
film,
television show, stage,
musical, opera or ballet production, who appears in a nonspeaking or nonsinging (silent) capacity, usually in the background (for example, in
an audience or busy street scene).
Stunt Performer is a stuntman or stuntwoman who is a trained
professional who performs daring acts, often as a career. Stunt performers
usually appear in films or on television, as opposed to a daredevil, who
performs for a live audience. When they take the place of another
actor, they are known
as stunt doubles.
Stunt is
an unusual and difficult physical feat or an
act requiring a
special skill, performed for artistic purposes usually on television,
theaters, or cinema. Stunts are a feature of many action films. Before
computer generated imagery special effects, these effects were limited to
the use of models, false perspective and other in-camera effects, unless
the creator could find someone willing to jump from car to car or hang
from the edge of a skyscraper: the stunt performer or stunt double.
Stunt Double a cross between a body double and a stunt
performer, specifically a skilled replacement
used for dangerous film or video sequences, such as jumping out of a
building or from vehicle to vehicle, and for other sophisticated stunts
(especially fight scenes). Stunt doubles may be used in cases where an
actor's physical condition or age precludes much activity, or when an
actor is contractually prohibited from taking certain risks. A dance
double performs the dangerous or physically difficult dance parts of a
character's role. Stunt doubles should be distinguished from daredevils,
who perform stunts for the sake of the stunt alone, often as a career.
Sequences often do not place stunt doubles in the same mortal peril as the
characters: for example, harnesses and wires can be digitally edited out
of the final film.
Body
Double is a person who substitutes in a scene for another actor such
that the person's face is not shown.
Dance
Double is a type of stunt double who steps in and performs the

Art School is an educational institution with a primary
focus on the
visual arts, including fine art, especially
illustration,
painting,
photography, sculpture, and graphic design. Art schools are
institutions with elementary, secondary, post-secondary or undergraduate,
or graduate or postgraduate programs in these areas.

Liberal Arts
are those subjects or skills that were considered essential for a
free person to know in order to take an active part in
civic life, included participating in
public debate, defending oneself
in
court, serving on juries, and most
importantly,
military service. Grammar, logic, and rhetoric were the core
liberal arts, while arithmetic, geometry, the theory of music, and
astronomy also played a somewhat lesser part in education. Today it can
refer to academic subjects such as literature,
philosophy,
mathematics, and social and physical sciences, or
it can also refer to overall studies in a liberal arts degree program. For
example, Harvard University offers a Bachelor of Arts degree, which covers
the social and physical sciences as well as the
humanities. For both interpretations, the term generally refers to
matters not relating to the professional, vocational, or technical
curriculum. Liberal arts started in Classical Antiquity or Ancient Greece.
(Latin: liberalis, "worthy of a free person").
Visual Arts Education is the area of
learning that is based
upon only the kind of art that one can see,
visual arts—drawing, painting,
sculpture, and design in jewelry, pottery, weaving, fabrics, etc. and
design applied to more practical fields such as commercial graphics and
home furnishings. Contemporary topics include photography, video, film,
design, and computer art. Art education may focus on students creating
art, on learning to criticize or appreciate art, or some combination of
the two.
Teaching Artist are professional artists who teach and
integrate their art form, perspectives, and skills into a wide range of
settings. Teaching Artists work with schools, after school programs,
community agencies, prisons, jails, and social service agencies. The Arts
In Education movement grew from the work of Teaching Artists in schools.
Art
Teacher Degrees.
Arts in Education is an expanding field of educational
research and practice informed by investigations into learning through
arts experiences. In this context, the arts can include Performing arts
education (dance, drama, music), literature and poetry, storytelling,
Visual arts education in film, craft, design, digital arts, media and
photography. It is distinguished from art education by being not so much
about teaching art, but focused on: How to improve learning through the
arts. How to transfer learning in and through the arts to other
disciplines. Discovering and creating understanding of human behavior,
thinking, potential, and learning especially through the close observation
of works of art and various forms of involvement in arts experiences. Arts
integrated learning is a way to teach artistic skills in conjunction with
academic material. This approach to education values the process and
experiential learning as much as creation of art object or performance
oriented learning.
Arts Integration
is an approach to teaching that
integrates the fine and
performing arts as primary pathways to learning. Arts
integration differs
from traditional education by its inclusion of both the arts discipline
and a traditional subject as part of learning (e.g. using improvisational
drama skills to learn about conflict in writing.) The goal of arts
integration is to increase knowledge of a general subject area while
concurrently fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of the
fine and performing arts.
Arts-Based Environmental Education brings art education and
environmental education together
in one undertaking. The approach has two essential characteristics. The
first is that it refers to a specific kind of environmental education that
starts off from an artistic approach. Different from other types of
outdoor or environmental education which offer room for aesthetic
experiences, AEE turns the tables in a fundamental way. Art is not an
added quality, the icing on the cake; it is rather the point of departure
in the effort to find ways in which people can connect to their
environment. A second fundamental characteristic is that AEE is one of the
first contemporary approaches of bringing together artistic practice and
environmental education in which practitioners also made an attempt to
formulate an epistemology.
Artist Retreat
is like a boot camp for creativity where your skill level can increase in
a short time, while also making connections with other artists, having
fun, and visiting gorgeous locations all over the world. An artist retreat
may include some yoga, meditation, and breath work, or anything to get
creative juices flowing and to facilitate an environment for deep focus
within your creative cocoon without any outside pressures.
Art Club is a club that can help to promote
curiosity. It encourages knowledge gathering and develops a persons
imagination and creative thinking. It can also help improve social skills
and help with
expressing emotions.
Art Class is where you learn about brushes,
paints, mediums, strokes, how to prepare your surface, how to paint, how
to take care of your tools.
Art Workshop
is where you learn a particular artist's methods. It's a place used for
purposes such as commercial photography, painting, art, needlework,
tapestry making, pottery making, hand weaving or sculpting, and includes a
gallery for displaying or selling goods provided that such gallery is
ancillary to the production process.
Artist in Residence
encompasses a wide spectrum of artistic programs that involve a
collaboration between artists and hosting organizations, institutions, or
communities. They are programs which provide artists with space and
resources to support their artistic practice. Contemporary artist
residencies are becoming increasingly thematic, with artists working
together with their host in pursuit of a specific outcome related to a
particular theme. They can provide a time of reflection, research,
presentation and/or production. They also allow an individual to explore
his/her practice within another community; meeting new people, using new
materials, experiencing life in a new location. Art residencies emphasize
the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and
immersion into another culture.
Art Therapy is a creative method of expression used as
a therapeutic technique. Art therapy originated in the fields of art and
psychotherapy and may vary in definition.

Art Categories
There are many different types,
styles,
genres and
categories of art.
Abstract Art uses a
visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a
composition which may exist with a degree of independence from
visual
references in the world.

Non-Conformist -
Digital -
Carving -

Visual
Conceptual is art in which the
concept or idea
involved in the work is more important or takes precedence over the traditional
aesthetic and
material concerns.
Expressionism is to present the world solely from a
subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in
order to evoke moods or ideas.
Expressionist artists sought to express the
meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
Impressionism is characterized by relatively small, thin,
yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate
depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the
effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of
movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and
unusual visual angles.
Modernism are the activities and creations of those
who felt the traditional forms of art,
architecture, literature, religious
faith, philosophy, social organization, activities of daily life, and even
the sciences, were becoming ill-fitted to their tasks and outdated in the
new economic, social, and political environment of an emerging fully
industrialized world.
Neoclassicism is the name given to Western movements
in the decorative and
visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and
architecture that draw inspiration from the "
classical" art and culture of
Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome.
Futurism
emphasized speed, technology, youth, and violence, and objects such as the
car, the aeroplane, and the industrial city. Although it was largely an
Italian phenomenon, there were parallel movements in Russia, England,
Belgium and elsewhere. The Futurists practiced in every medium of art
including painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, industrial
design, interior design,
urban design,
theatre,
film,
fashion,
textiles,
literature,
music,
architecture, and even Futurist meals.

Surrealism is visual artworks and writings with the aim
to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and
reality". Artists painted unnerving, illogical
scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from
everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the
unconscious to express itself.
Symbolism was largely a reaction against naturalism
and realism, anti-idealistic styles which were attempts to
represent
reality in its gritty particularity, and to elevate the humble and the
ordinary over the ideal.
Symbolism was a reaction in favour of
spirituality, the
imagination, and dreams.
Rock Art
is human-made markings placed on natural surfaces, typically vertical
stone surfaces. A high proportion of surviving historic and
prehistoric rock art is found in caves or
partly enclosed rock shelters. This type also may be called
cave
art or parietal art. A global phenomenon, rock art is found in many
culturally diverse regions of the world. It has
been produced in many contexts
throughout
human history. In terms of technique, the main groups are cave
paintings,
petroglyphs, which are carved
or scratched into the rock surface, sculpted rock reliefs and
geoglyphs, which are formed on the
ground.
Representation is the use of
signs that
stand in for and
take the place of something else.
Realism is the attempt to
represent subject matter
truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions,
implausible, exotic and supernatural elements.
Hyper-Realism is a genre of
painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph.
Hyperrealism is considered an advancement of Photorealism by the methods
used to create the resulting paintings or sculptures.
Photorealism is a
genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic media,
in which an artist studies a
photograph and
then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in
another medium. Although the term can be used broadly to describe artworks
in many different media, it is also used to refer specifically to a group
of paintings and painters of the American art movement that began in
the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Naturalism
in art refers to the depiction of realistic objects in a natural setting.
The Realist movement of the 19th century advocated naturalism in reaction
to the stylized and idealized depictions of subjects in Romanticism, but
many painters have used a similar approach over the centuries.
Useful Art is
concerned with the skills and methods of practical subjects such as
manufacture and
craftsmanship. The
phrase has now gone out of fashion, but it was used during the Victorian
era and earlier as an antonym to the performing art and the fine art.
Gourd is occasionally used to describe crop plants in the
family Cucurbitaceae, like pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, luffa, and melons.
Formalism is the study of art by analyzing and
comparing form and style—the way objects are made and their purely visual
aspects. In painting, formalism emphasizes compositional elements such as
color, line, shape, texture, and other perceptual aspects rather than
iconography or the historical and social context. At its extreme,
formalism in art history posits that everything necessary to comprehending
a work of art is contained within the work of art. The context for the
work, including the reason for its creation, the historical background,
and the life of the artist, that is, its conceptual aspect is considered
to be of secondary importance. Anti-formalism in art would assert the
opposite ascription of respectively primary and secondary importance.
Installation Art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional
works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the
perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces,
whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or
intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.
Objet d'Art describes works of
art that are not paintings,
large or medium-sized sculptures, prints or drawings. It therefore covers
a wide range of works, usually small and three-dimensional, of high
quality and finish in areas of the decorative arts, such as metalwork
items, with or without enamel, small carvings, statuettes and plaquettes
in any material, including engraved gems, hardstone carvings, ivory
carvings including Japanese netsuke and similar items, non-utilitarian
porcelain and glass, and a vast range of objects that would also be
classed as antiques (or indeed antiquities), such as small clocks,
watches, gold boxes, and sometimes textiles, especially tapestries. Books
with fine bookbindings might be included. Means literally "art object", or
work of art.
Appropriation Art is the use of pre-existing objects or images with
little or no transformation applied to them. The use of appropriation has
played a significant role in the history of the arts (
literary,
visual, musical and performing arts). In the visual arts, to appropriate
means to properly adopt, borrow,
recycle
or sample aspects (or the entire form) of human-made visual culture.
Inherent in our understanding of appropriation is the concept that the new
work recontextualizes whatever it
borrows
to create the new work. In most cases the original 'thing' remains
accessible as the original, without change.
Intermedia describes various
inter-disciplinary art activities that occurred between genres in the
1960s. The areas such as those between drawing and poetry, or between
painting and theatre could be described as "intermedia". With repeated
occurrences, these new genres between genres could develop their own names
(e.g. visual poetry, performance art); historically, an example is haiga,
which combined brush painting and haiku into one composition.
Indian
Art consists of a variety of art forms, including plastic arts (e.g.,
pottery sculpture), visual arts (e.g., paintings), and textile arts (e.g.,
woven silk). Geographically, it spans the entire Indian subcontinent,
including what is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A strong sense of
design is characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern
and traditional forms.
Art
of Europe encompasses the history of visual art in Europe. European
prehistoric art started as mobile rock, and cave painting art, and was
characteristic of the period between the Paleolithic and the Iron Age.
Art Nouveau is an
international style of art,
architecture and applied art,
especially the
decorative arts, known in different languages by different names:
Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme in Catalan,
etc. In English it is also known as the Modern Style (not to be confused
with Modernism and Modern architecture). The style was most popular
between
1890 and 1910. It was a reaction
against the academic art, eclecticism and historicism of 19th century
architecture and decoration. It was often inspired by natural forms such
as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Other characteristics of Art
Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or
"whiplash" curves, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron,
glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger
open spaces. One major objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the
traditional distinction between fine arts (especially painting and
sculpture) and applied arts. It was most widely used in interior design,
graphic arts, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and metal
work. The style responded to leading 19-century theoreticians, such as
French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879) and British
art critic John Ruskin (1819–1900). In Britain, it was influenced by
William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement. German architects and
designers sought a spiritually uplifting Gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of
art”) that would unify the architecture, furnishings, and art in the
interior in a common style, to uplift and inspire the residents. The first
Art Nouveau houses and interior decoration appeared in Brussels in the
1890s, in the architecture and interior design of houses designed by Paul
Hankar, Henry Van de Velde, and especially Victor Horta, whose Hôtel
Tassel was completed in 1893. It moved quickly to Paris, where it was
adapted by Hector Guimard, who saw Horta's work in Brussels and applied
the style for the entrances of the new Paris Metro. It reached its peak at
the 1900 Paris International Exposition, which introduced the Art Nouveau
work of artists such as Louis Tiffany. It appeared in graphic arts in the
posters of Alphonse Mucha, and the glassware of René Lalique and Émile
Gallé. From Belgium and France, it spread to the rest of Europe, taking on
different names and characteristics in each country (see Naming section
below). It often appeared not only in capitals, but also in rapidly
growing cities that wanted to establish artistic identities (Turin and
Palermo in Italy; Glasgow in Scotland; Munich and Darmstadt in Germany),
as well as in centres of independence movements (Helsinki in Finland, then
part of the Russian Empire; Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain). By 1910, Art
Nouveau's influence had faded. It was replaced as the dominant European
architectural and decorative style first by Art Deco and then by
Modernism. Then it was reborn in the 1960's in America.
Contemporary Art is the art of today, produced by
artists who are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary art
provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues
relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary artists work
in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically
advancing world. Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods,
concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy
definition. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is
distinguished by the very lack of a uniform,
organizing principle,
ideology, or ‘ism.’ Contemporary art is part of a cultural dialogue that
concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural
identity, family, community, and nationality.
Outsider Art is art by self-taught or naïve art makers. Typically,
those labeled as
outsider artists have little or no contact with the
mainstream art world or art institutions. In many cases, their work is
discovered only after their deaths. Often, outsider art illustrates
extreme mental states, unconventional ideas, or elaborate fantasy worlds.
Art Brut (French: "raw art" or "rough
art"), describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture;
Dubuffet focused particularly on art by those on the outside of the
established art scene, using as examples psychiatric hospital patients and
children.
Outsider Art Fair.
Fine Art is
art developed primarily for
aesthetics or
beauty, distinguishing
it from decorative art or applied art, which also has to serve some
practical function, such as pottery or most metalwork. In the aesthetic
theories developed in the Italian Renaissance, the highest art was that
which allowed the full expression and display of the artist's imagination,
unrestricted by any of the practical considerations involved in, say,
making and decorating a teapot. It was also considered important that
making the artwork did not involve dividing the work between different
individuals with specialized skills, as might be necessary with a piece of
furniture, for example. Even within the fine arts, there was a hierarchy
of genres based on the amount of creative imagination required, with
history painting placed higher than still life. Historically, the five
main fine arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and poetry,
with performing arts including theatre and dance. In practice, outside
education the concept is typically only applied to the visual arts. The
old master print and drawing were included as related forms to painting,
just as prose forms of literature were to poetry. Today, the range of what
would be considered fine arts (in so far as the term remains in use)
commonly includes additional modern forms, such as film, photography,
video production/editing, design, and conceptual art.

Decorative Arts are arts or crafts whose object is the design and
manufacture of objects that are both
beautiful and
functional. It includes
interior design, but not usually architecture. The
decorative arts are
often categorized in distinction to the "fine arts", namely painting,
drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally produce
objects solely for their aesthetic quality and capacity to stimulate the
intellect.

Cake Decorating is one of the sugar arts that uses icing or
frosting and other edible decorative elements to make plain cakes more

Marcel Duchamp was a French painter, sculptor, chess player, and
writer whose work is associated with
Cubism,
Dada, and
conceptual art. He is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and
Henri Matisse, as one of the three artists who helped to define the
revolutionary developments in the
plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible
for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

Visual Arts are art forms such as ceramics,
drawing,
painting, sculpture, printmaking,
design, crafts,
photography, video,
filmmaking,
literature, and
architecture. Many artistic disciplines
(
performing arts,
conceptual art,
textile arts) involve aspects of the
visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the
visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic
design,
fashion design, interior design and decorative art.

Visual Effects or
VFX is the
process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of
a live action shot in film making. Visual effects involve in the
integration of live-action footage (special effects) and generated imagery
(digital effects) to create environments which look realistic, but would
be dangerous, expensive, impractical, time consuming or impossible to
capture on film. Visual effects using
Computer-Generated
Imagery or
CGI have recently become
accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of
affordable and easy-to-use animation and compositing software.

Drone Display is
the use of multiple
unmanned aerial
vehicles or drones, often quadcopters, flying in a coordinated fashion
for public display. They are usually equipped with LEDs, and the display
held at night. The displays may be for entertainment, where the drones may
use flocking or swarming behavior. The drones may also be coordinated to
produce images. Using this
emerging
technologies, displays have been employed for advertising purposes as
well.
Kuleshov Effect is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more

Computer Graphics
are
pictures and
films created using
computers. Usually, the term refers
to computer-generated image data created with help from specialized
graphical hardware and software. It is a vast and recent area in computer
science.
CG Movies.
Computer Generated Imagery is the application of computer graphics to
create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films,
television programs, shorts, commercials, videos, and
simulators. The
visual scenes may be dynamic or static and may be two-dimensional (2D),
though the term "
CGI" is most commonly used to refer to
3D computer
graphics used for creating scenes or special effects in films and
television. Additionally, the use of 2D CGI is often mistakenly referred
to as "
traditional animation", most often in the case when dedicated
animation software such as Adobe Flash or Toon Boom is not used or the CGI
is hand drawn using a tablet and mouse.

Interactive Art is a form of art that involves the spectator
in a way that allows the art to achieve its purpose. Some
interactive art
installations achieve this by letting the observer or visitor "walk" in,
on, and around them; some others ask the artist or the spectators to
become part of the artwork.
New Media Art refers to artworks created with new media technologies,
including digital art, computer graphics,
computer animation,
virtual art,
Internet art, interactive art, sound art, video games, computer
robotics, 3D printing, cyborg art and art as biotechnology. The term
differentiates itself by its resulting cultural objects and social events,
which can be seen in opposition to those deriving from old visual arts
(i.e. traditional painting, sculpture, etc.).
Internet Art is a form of new media art distributed via the Internet.
This form of art circumvents the traditional dominance of the physical
gallery and museum system. In many cases, the viewer is drawn into some
kind of interaction with the work of art. Artists working in this manner
are sometimes referred to as net artists.
Digital Art is an artistic work or practice that uses
digital technology as an essential part of the creative or presentation
process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the
process including computer art and
multimedia art, and digital art is
itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.

Non-Fungible Token is a special type of
cryptographic token which
represents something unique; non-fungible
tokens are thus not mutually interchangeable. This is in contrast to cryptocurrencies like
bitcoin, and many network or utility tokens, that
are fungible in nature. Non-fungible tokens are used to create verifiable
digital scarcity, as well as digital ownership, and the possibility of
asset interoperability across multiple platforms.
NFTs are used in several
specific applications that require unique digital items like crypto art,
digital collectibles, and online gaming. Art was an early use case for
NFTs, and
blockchain in general, because of
its ability to provide proof of authenticity and ownership of digital art
that has otherwise had to contend with the potential for mass reproduction
and unauthorized distribution of art through the internet.
Fungibility is the property of a good or a commodity whose individual
units are essentially interchangeable, and each of its parts is
indistinguishable from another part.
Crypto
Art is a category of art related to blockchain technology. Emerging as
a niche genre of artistic work following the development of
blockchain
networks such as
Bitcoin and Ethereum in the mid to late 2010s, crypto art
quickly grew in popularity in large part because of the unprecedented
ability afforded by the underlying technology for purely digital artworks
to be bought, sold, or collected by anyone in a decentralized manner.

The Imaginarium

Motion Capture is the process of
recording the movement of objects
or people.
Stop
Motion is an animated
filmmaking technique in which
objects are physically manipulated in small
increments between individually photographed frames so that they will
appear to exhibit independent motion when the
series of frames is played
back as a slow sequence. Objects with movable joints or clay figures are
often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop-motion
animation using plasticine figures is called clay animation or "clay-mation".
Not all stop motion, however, requires figures or models: stop-motion
films can also be made using humans, household appliances, and other
objects, usually for comedic effect. Stop motion using humans is sometimes
referred to as pixilation.
Practical Effect is a special effect produced physically,
without computer-generated imagery or other
post production techniques. In some contexts, "special effect" is used as
a synonym of "practical effect", in contrast to "visual effects" which are
created in post-production through photographic manipulation or computer
generation. Many of the staples of action movies are practical effects.
Gunfire, bullet wounds, rain, wind, fire, and explosions can all be
produced on a movie set by someone skilled in practical effects. Non-human
characters and creatures produced with make-up, prosthetics, masks, and
puppets – in contrast to computer-generated images – are also examples of
practical effects.
Digital
Compositing is the process of digitally
assembling multiple images to
make a final image, typically for print, motion pictures or
screen
display. It is the digital analogue of optical film compositing.
Vector Graphics is the use of polygons to represent images in computer
graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through
locations called control points or nodes. Each of these points has a
definite position on the x- and y-axes of the work plane and determines
the direction of the path; further, each path may be assigned various
attributes, including such values as stroke color, shape, curve,
thickness, and fill.
Raster Graphics image is a dot matrix data structure, representing a
generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a
monitor, paper, or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image
files with varying formats. A bitmap, a single-bit raster, corresponds
bit-for-bit with an image displayed on a screen, generally in the same
format used for storage in the display's video memory, or maybe as a
device-independent bitmap. A raster is technically characterized by the
width and height of the image in pixels and by the number of bits per
pixel (or color depth, which determines the number of colors it can
represent). The printing and prepress industries know raster graphics as
contones (from "continuous tones"). The opposite to contones is "line
work", usually implemented as vector graphics in digital systems.
Computer scientists make more realistic in computer graphics using glint
algorithm.

Lithophane is an etched or molded artwork in very thin translucent
porcelain that can be seen clearly only when
back lit with a
light source.
It is a design or scene in intaglio that appears "en grisaille" (in gray)
tones. A lithophane presents a three-dimensional image – completely
different from two-dimensional engravings and daguerreotypes that are
"flat". The images change characteristics depending on the light source
behind them. Window lithophane panel scenes change throughout the day
depending on the amount of sunlight. The varying lightsource is what makes
lithophanes more interesting to the viewer than two-dimensional pictures.
The word "lithophane" derives from Greek "litho", which is from "lithos"
which means stone or rock, and "phainein" meaning "to cause to appear" or
"to cause to appear suddenly". From this is derived a meaning for
lithophane of "light in stone" or to "appear in stone" as the
three-dimensional image appears suddenly when lit with a back light source.

science, art, application and
practice of creating durable images
by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an
image sensor,
or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic
film. "A
Picture may paint a thousand words or
a picture is worth a thousand words, but of
course words and descriptions are needed because most people cannot fully
understand a picture or a video all alone by itself".

Camera is an
optical instrument for capturing still
images or for recording moving images ("video"), which are stored in a
physical medium such as in a digital system or on photographic film. The
camera is the main instrument in the art of photography and captured
images may be reproduced later as a part of the process of photography,
digital imaging and
photographic printing.
Camera Obscura
or
pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that
occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for
instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as a
reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface
opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to
be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical
camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.

Photographic
Film is a strip or sheet of transparent plastic film base coated on
one side with a
gelatin
emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive
silver
halide crystals. The sizes and other characteristics of the crystals
determine the sensitivity, contrast and
resolution of the film.
Photograph is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive
surface, usually photographic film or an electronic medium such as a
CCD
or a
CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a
lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction
of what the human eye would see.

Depth Perception.
Image is
an artifact that depicts visual perception, for example, a photo or a
two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some
subject—usually a physical object or a person, thus providing a depiction
of it. An iconic mental
representation. A simple picture that which presents an intellectual
and emotional complex in an instant of time. A
visual representation (of
an object or scene or person or abstraction) produced on a surface A
standard or typical example. Language used in a figurative or non-literal
sense. Someone who closely resembles a famous person (especially an
actor). A personal facade that one presents to the world. (mathematics)
the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is
defined. The general impression that something (a person or
organization or product) presents to the public. A representation of a
person (especially in the form of sculpture). Render visible, as by means
of MRI. Imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind.
Tilt
is a cinematographic technique in which the camera stays in a fixed
position but rotates up/down in a vertical plane. Tilting the camera
results in a motion similar to someone raising or lowering their head to
look up or down. It is distinguished from panning in which the camera is
horizontally pivoted left or right. Pan and tilt can be used
simultaneously. In some situations the lens itself may be tilted with
respect to the fixed camera body in order to generate greater depth of
focus.
Dutch
Angle is a type of camera shot which involves setting the camera at an
angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at
an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot
is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. This produces a
viewpoint akin to tilting one's head to the side. In cinematography, the
Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray
psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. The Dutch
tilt is strongly associated with the German movie scene during the
expressionist movement, which used the Dutch angle extensively. The Dutch
angle is also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle.
Depth of Focus is a lens optics concept that measures the tolerance of
placement of the image plane (the film plane in a camera) in relation to
the lens. In a camera, depth of focus indicates the tolerance of the
film's displacement within the camera and is therefore sometimes referred
to as "lens-to-film tolerance".
Depth of Field is the distance between the nearest and the farthest
objects that are in acceptably sharp focus in an image. The depth of field
can be calculated based on focal length, distance to subject, the
acceptable circle of confusion size, and aperture. A particular depth of
field may be chosen for technical or artistic purposes. Limitations of
depth of field can sometimes be overcome with various
techniques/equipment. Reducing the aperture
diameter or increasing the f-number,
increases the DOF because only the light travelling at shallower angles
passes through the aperture. Because the angles are shallow, the light
rays are within the acceptable circle of confusion for a greater distance.
Butterfly-inspired nanotech makes natural-looking pictures on digital
screens.
Edge Enhancement is an image processing filter that enhances the edge
contrast of an image or video in an attempt to improve its acutance
(apparent sharpness). The filter works by identifying sharp edge
boundaries in the image, such as the edge between a subject and a
background of a contrasting color, and increasing the image contrast in
the area immediately around the edge. This has the effect of creating
subtle bright and dark highlights on either side of any edges in the
image, called overshoot and undershoot, leading the edge to look more
defined when viewed from a typical viewing distance.
Cinematography is the science or art of
motion-picture photography by
recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically
by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive
material such as film stock.

Cinematographer is the chief over the camera and light crews working
on a film,
television production or
other live action piece and is responsible for making artistic and
technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this
field is referred to as cinematography. The cinematographer selects the
camera, film stock, lens, filters, etc., to realize the scene in
accordance with the intentions of the director. Relations between the
cinematographer and
director
vary; in some instances the director will allow the cinematographer
complete independence; in others, the director allows little to none, even
going so far as to specify exact camera placement and lens selection. Such
a level of involvement is not common once the director and cinematographer
have become comfortable with each other; the director will typically
convey to the cinematographer what is wanted from a scene visually, and
allow the cinematographer latitude in achieving that effect.

Photography is the phase of producing a film or television show in
which the bulk of shooting takes place, as distinct from the phases of
pre-production and post-production
Pre-Production
is the process of planning some of the elements involved in a film,
television show, play, or other performance, as distinct from production,
and post-production. Pre-production ends when the planning ends and the
content starts being produced.
Post-Production
is part of the process of filmmaking, video production, audio production,
and photography. Post-production includes all stages of production
occurring after shooting or recording individual program segments
Creative Geography is when multiple segments are shot at various
locations and/or times and then are edited together such that they appear to all
occur in a continuous place at a continuous time. Creative geography is
used constantly in film and television, for instance when a character
walks through the front door of a house shown from the outside, to emerge
into a sound stage of the house's interior.
Continuity Editing is the process in film and video creation, of
combining more-or-less related shots, or different components cut from a
single shot, into a sequence to direct the viewer's attention to a
pre-existing consistency of story across both time and physical location.
Montage is a film editing technique in which a series of short shots
are sequenced to condense space, time, and information.
Mosaic
is a piece of art or image made from the
assembling of small pieces of
colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative
art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat,
roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as
tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces
of stone, and called "pebble mosaics". Mosaic Image using tiny words
to make Word Art, because a picture is worth more than a thousand words
(literally).
Photographic Mosaic is a picture (usually a photograph) that has been
divided into (usually equal sized) tiled sections, each of which is
replaced with another photograph that matches the target photo. When
viewed at low magnifications, the individual pixels appear as the
primary image, while close examination reveals that the image is in fact
made up of many hundreds or thousands of smaller images. Most of the time
they are a computer-created type of montage. (also known under the term
Photomosaic, a portmanteau of photo and mosaic).
Tile Art
is a small arrangement of tiles, or in some cases a single tile, with a
painted pattern or image on top. It is often used as an umbrella term that
includes other forms of tile-based art, such as mosaics,
micromosaics, and stained glass. Unlike mosaics, tile art can include
larger pieces of tiles that are pre-decorated. While mosaics use pieces of
tesserae or another material to construct a
pattern from small components, other methods, such as engraving,
carving, and molding may be used in
tile art. While mosaics are considered a type of tile art, there are many
other forms that are also considered tile art.
Symmetry Tile Theory.
Lithography is a method of printing originally based on the
immiscibility of oil and water. The printing is from a stone (lithographic
limestone) or a metal plate with a smooth surface. Lithography originally
used an image drawn with oil, fat, or wax onto the surface of a smooth,
level lithographic limestone plate. The stone was treated with a mixture
of acid and gum arabic, etching the portions of the stone that were not
protected by the grease-based image. When the stone was subsequently
moistened, these etched areas retained water; an oil-based ink could then
be applied and would be repelled by the water, sticking only to the
original drawing. The ink would finally be transferred to a blank paper
sheet, producing a printed page. This traditional technique is still used
in some fine art printmaking applications.
Photolithography is a process used in microfabrication to pattern
parts of a thin film or the bulk of a substrate. It uses light to transfer
a geometric pattern from a photomask to a light-sensitive chemical
"photoresist", or simply "resist," on the substrate. A series of chemical
treatments then either engraves the exposure pattern into the material or
enables deposition of a new material in the desired pattern upon the
material underneath the photo resist. For example, in complex integrated
circuits, a modern CMOS wafer will go through the photolithographic cycle
up to 50 times.

Light Art is an applied arts form in which
light is the main medium of expression. It
is an art form in which either a sculpture produces light, or
light is
used to create a "sculpture" through the manipulation of light,
colours,
and shadows. These sculptures can be temporary or permanent, and can exist
in two distinctive spaces: indoor galleries, such as museum exhibits, or
outdoors at events like festivals. Light art can be an interaction of
light with in an architectural space. Light artist are those that devote
all their creative experimentation to light art, some artist experiment
with light and neon signage and use light in their practice but would be
artist using light.

Lighting Designer works with the director, choreographer, set
designer, costume designer, and sound designer to create the
lighting,
atmosphere, and time of day for the production in response to the text,
while keeping in mind issues of visibility, safety, and cost. The LD also
works closely with the stage manager or show control programming, if show
control systems are used in that production. Outside of
stage lighting the
job of a Lighting Designer can be much more diverse and they can be found
working on rock and pop tours, corporate launches, art installation and on
massive celebration spectaculars, for example the Olympic Games opening
and closing ceremonies.

Mannerism is unlike High Renaissance art that
emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, Mannerism
exaggerates
such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are
asymmetrical or
unnaturally elegant. Mannerism is notable for its intellectual
sophistication as well as its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic)
qualities. Mannerism favors compositional tension and instability rather
than the balance and clarity of earlier Renaissance painting. Mannerism in
literature and music is notable for its highly florid style and
intellectual sophistication.
Mannerisms.
Improvisation is adapting a device for
some use other than that which it
was designed for, or building a device from unusual components in an
ad-hoc fashion.
Improvisation, within the context of performing arts, is a
very
spontaneous performance without specific or scripted preparation. The
skills of improvisation can apply to many different faculties, across all
artistic, scientific, physical, cognitive, academic, and non-academic
disciplines.

Shock
Site or gore site is a website that is
intended to be offensive or disturbing to its viewers, though it
can also contain elements of humor or evoke (in some viewers) sexual
arousal. They contain material of
high shock value,
generally of a pornographic, scatological, racist, sexist, graphically
violent, insulting, vulgar, profane, or otherwise
provocative nature. Some
shock sites display a single picture, animation, video clip or small
gallery, and are circulated via email or disguised in posts to discussion
sites as a prank. Steven Jones distinguishes these sites from those that
collect galleries where users search for shocking content, such as
Rotten.com. Gallery sites can contain beheadings, execution,
electrocution, suicide, murder, stoning, torching, drowning, vehicular
accidents, war victims, rape, necrophilia, genital mutilation and other
sexual crimes. Some shock sites have also gained their own subcultures and
have become internet memes on their own. Goatse.cx featured a page devoted
to fan-submitted artwork and tributes to the site's hello.jpg, and a
parody of the image was unwittingly shown by a BBC newscast as an
alternative for the then-recently unveiled logo for the 2012 Summer
Olympics. A 2007 shock video known as 2 Girls 1 Cup also quickly became an
Internet phenomenon, with videos of reactions, homages, and parodies
widely posted on video sharing sites such as YouTube.

Obscenity is any utterance or act that
strongly offends the prevalent
morality of the time. Such
loaded language can be used to indicate strong
moral repugnance and outrage, in expressions such as "obscene profits" and
"the obscenity of war". As a legal term, it usually refers to graphic
depictions of people engaged in sexual and excretory activity, and related
utterances of
profanity.
Federal law prohibits the possession with
intent to sell or distribute obscenity,
to send, ship, or receive obscenity, to import obscenity, and to transport
obscenity across state borders for purposes of distribution.

United States obscenity law deals with the regulation or suppression
of what is considered obscenity and therefore not protected speech under
the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In the United
States, discussion of obscenity typically relates to defining what
pornography is obscene, as well as to issues of freedom of speech and of
the press, otherwise protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. Issues of obscenity arise at federal and state
levels. State laws operate only within the jurisdiction of each state, and
there are differences among such laws.
Microbial Art is artwork created by
culturing microorganisms
in certain patterns. The microbes used can be bacteria, yeast fungi, or
less commonly, protists. The microbes can be chosen for their natural
colours, or can be engineered to express fluorescent proteins and viewed
under ultraviolet light to make them fluoresce in colour. Agar plates are
used as a canvas, while pigmented or fluorescent bacteria and yeasts
represent the paint. In order to preserve a piece of microbial art after a
sufficient incubation, the microbe culture is sealed with epoxy.
Microbial art is also know as agar art or germ art.
BioArt
is an art practice where humans work with live tissues, bacteria,
living organisms, and life processes. Using
scientific processes such as biotechnology (including technologies such as
genetic engineering, tissue culture, and cloning) the artworks are
produced in laboratories, galleries, or artists' studios. The scope of
BioArt is considered by some artists to be strictly limited to "living
forms", while other artists would include art that uses the imagery of
contemporary medicine and biological research, or require that it address
a controversy or blind spot posed by the very character of the life
sciences. Although BioArtists work with living matter, there is some
debate as to the stages at which matter can be considered to be alive or
living.
Evolutionary Art is a branch of generative art, in which the artist
does not do the work of constructing the artwork, but rather
lets a system do the construction.
In evolutionary art, initially generated art is put through an iterated
process of selection and modification to arrive at a final product, where
it is the artist who is the selective agent. Evolutionary art is to be
distinguished from BioArt, which uses living organisms as the material
medium instead of paint, stone, metal, etc.
Hybrid
Arts is a contemporary art movement in which artists work with
frontier areas of science and emerging technologies. Artists work with
fields such as biology,
robotics,
physical sciences, experimental interface technologies (such as speech,
gesture, face recognition), artificial intelligence, and
information
visualization. They address the research in many ways such as
undertaking new research agendas, visualizing results in new ways, or
critiquing the social implications of the research. The worldwide
community has developed new kinds of art festivals, information sources,
organizations, and university programs to explore these new arts.
Criticizing - Critics - Judging
Art Critic is a person who is
specialized in
analyzing,
interpreting and
evaluating art. Their written critiques or
reviews
contribute to art criticism and they are published in
newspapers,
magazines, books, exhibition brochures and catalogues and on web sites.
Some of today's art critics use art blogs and other
online platforms in
order to connect with a wider audience and expand
debate about art. Reprisals for
behaving
counter-stereotypically
can be problematic.
Comments.
Art Criticism is the
discussion or
evaluation of visual art.
Art critics usually criticize art in the context of
aesthetics or the
theory of
beauty. A goal of art
criticism is the pursuit of a
rational basis for art appreciation but it
is
questionable whether such criticism can transcend prevailing
socio-political circumstances.
Criticism is the
practice of
judging the
merits and
faults of something. An
evaluative or
corrective exercise can occur in any
area of human life.
Criticizing is
to find
fault
with something or someone and point out real or
perceived flaws.
Critic is someone who frequently
finds fault or makes harsh and unfair judgments. Anyone who expresses a
reasoned judgment of something. A
person who is professionally engaged in the analysis and interpretation of
works of art.
Critique is a serious
examination and
judgment of something. An
essay or article
that gives a critical
evaluation of a book or play or something
expressed.

Judgmental is having or displaying an
excessively critical point of view.
Value Judgment is a
judgment of
the
rightness or
wrongness of something or
someone, or of the
usefulness of
something or someone, based on a
comparison
or other
relativity. As a
generalization, a value
judgment can refer to a judgment based upon a
particular set of values or on a
particular value system. A related meaning of value judgment is an
expedient
evaluation based
upon
limited information at
hand, an evaluation undertaken because a decision must be made on short
notice.
Constructive Criticism is
the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of
others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a
friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. Aims to show that an
intent or purpose of something is better served by an alternative
approach.
Positive Criticism draws
attention to a good or positive aspect of something that is being ignored,
disregarded or overlooked.
Practical Criticism
is an objection or appraisal of the type, that something "does or does not
work" in practical reality, due to some reason or cause.
Negative Criticism means voicing an
objection to something, only with the purpose of showing that it is wrong,
false, mistaken, nonsensical, objectionable, or disreputable.
Destructive Criticism is often just
thoughtlessness by another person, but it can also be deliberately
malicious and hurtful. Destructive criticism can, in some cases, lead to
anger and/or aggression.
Varieties of Criticism (wiki).
You
should not use
criticism as a weapon, and you should not give power
to criticism more than it deserves. Criticism is about
seeing things
differently from a different perspective. Criticism is not about being
accurate or
relative, criticism is mostly an
opinion. So don't give power
to
words that are irrelevant, because you will steal power from words that
are relevant. The
power of words is to bring something to your attention,
words should not
distract you from your attention. You should focus more
on the words that have meaning, and focus less on the words that mostly
convey emotion.
Mindful
Conversations.
Nit Picking is the wasting of time and
energy looking for small or unimportant and trivial errors or faults in
someone or in something just to criticize that something unnecessarily.
It's like being
biased or
prejudice, or just
assuming that something is
relevant. This is not to
say that close
observations are not
necessary, or that certain
details
should be overlooked. It's just the
timing and the
motive of that particular
observation that needs to be considered. This way
the point or the reason of that
observation is understood by all people involved. Avoid being
Superficial and avoid
unhealthy forms of criticism that
do more harm than good.
Taunt is to
abuse someone vocally by
expressing
contempt
or ridicule.
Mocking or criticizing someone unfairly. Unfriendly behavior
that causes anger or
resentment.
Take a Swing at Someone means to attack
a person with words or to criticize someone in order to discredit them. It
also means to attempt to punch someone with your fist or to try to hit
someone.
Paid reviews, paid critics,
paid harassers and paid attack adds. These are all forms of
propaganda, and you're paying for
it in one way or another.

Out of the Woodwork is when someone
suddenly appears in public or reveals their opinion when previously they
did not make themselves known or share their opinion. To unexpectedly
bring previously silent voices or concerns to the forefront. To reveal
information that was previously unknown or hidden. The idiom comes from
the idea of insects crawling out from inside the woodwork where they have
been hiding.
Everyone is
a critic of something. People even
criticize themselves.
And people even get paid to criticize. But if you just go around
criticizing things and
never see the other
side of things, then you're just irritating and useless, and you may
be a bit of a
psychopath.

Public Backlash is a strong and adverse
reaction by a large number of people, especially to a social or political

instances of bias and discrimination against marginalized groups.
Cultural Critic is a critic of a given
culture,
usually as a whole. Cultural criticism has significant overlap with social

Comments.
Textual
Criticism is when a person is given a manuscript copy, several or many copies, but not the
original
document, the textual critic might seek to reconstruct the
original text (the archetype or autograph) as closely as possible. The
same processes can be used to attempt to reconstruct intermediate
versions, or recensions, of a document's transcription history. The
ultimate objective of the textual critic's work is the production of a
"critical edition" containing a scholarly curated text.
Translation
Criticism is the systematic study, evaluation, and
interpretation of different aspects
of translated works. It is an interdisciplinary academic field closely
related to literary criticism and
translation theory.
Artistic Merit refers to the judgment of their perceived quality or
value as works of art.
Cynicism is an
attitude or state of mind characterized by a general
distrust of others'
motives. A cynic may have a general lack of faith or hope in the human
species or people motivated by ambition, desire, greed, gratification,
materialism, goals, and
opinions that a cynic perceives as vain, unobtainable, or ultimately
meaningless and therefore deserving of
ridicule or admonishment. A common misapplication of this attitude
involves its attribution to individuals who emote well-thought-out
expressions of
skepticism.
Such
miss-categorization may occur as the result of either inexperience or a
belief system in which the innate goodness of man is considered an
important tenet or even an irrefutable fact. Thus, contemporary usage
incorporates both a form of jaded prudence (when misapplied) and realistic
criticism or
skepticism. The term
originally derives from the ancient Greek philosophers, the Cynics, who
rejected all conventions, whether of religion, manners, housing, dress, or
decency, instead advocating the pursuit of virtue in accordance with a
simple and
idealistic way
of life.
Sarcasm (humor).
Cynicism in philosophy is a school of thought of ancient
Greek philosophy as practiced
by the Cynics (Ancient Greek: Κυνικοί, Latin: Cynici). For the Cynics, the
purpose of life is to
live in virtue,
in
agreement with nature. As reasoning
creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in
a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires
for wealth, power, sex, and fame. Instead, they were to lead a simple life
free from all possessions.
Diogenes
the Cynic was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic
philosophy. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea, in
412 or 404 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC.
Acrimonious is something marked by strong
resentment or cynicism.
Acrimony is a rough
and bitter manner.
Comment is a statement that expresses a
personal
opinion or
belief or adds
information. A written
explanation or
criticism or illustration that is added to a book or other
textual material. Provide interlinear
explanations for words or phrases.
Commentary is an
expression of opinions or offering of
explanations about an event or
situation. A descriptive spoken account of an event or performance as it
happens.

Self-Censorship is the act of
censoring or classifying one's
own blog, book, film, or other forms of media. This is done out of fear
of, or deference to, the sensibilities or preferences (actual or
perceived) of others and without overt pressure from any specific party or
institution of authority.
Self-censorship is often practiced by film
producers, film directors, publishers, news anchors, journalists,
musicians, and other kinds of authors including individuals who use social
media.

Literature
Review is a type of review article. A literature review is a
scholarly paper,
which includes the current knowledge including substantive findings, as
well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular
topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and do not report new or
original experimental work. Most often associated with academic-oriented
literature, such reviews are found in
academic journals,
and are not to be confused with book reviews that may also appear in the
same publication.
Literature reviews
are a basis for research in nearly every academic field. A narrow-scope
literature review may be included as part of a peer-reviewed journal
article presenting new research, serving to situate the current study
within the body of the relevant literature and to provide context for the
reader. In such a case, the review usually precedes the methodology and
results sections of the work. Producing a literature review may also be
part of graduate and post-graduate student work, including in the
preparation of a thesis, dissertation, or a journal article. Literature
reviews are also common in a research proposal or prospectus (the document
that is approved before a student formally begins a
dissertation or
thesis).
Critical Appraisal is the use of explicit, transparent methods to
assess the data in
published research,
applying the rules of evidence to factors such as internal validity,
adherence to reporting standards, conclusions and generalizability.
Critical appraisal methods form a central part of the systematic review
process. They are used in evidence-based healthcare training to assist
clinical decision-making, and are increasingly used in evidence-based
social care and education provision. Critical appraisal checklists help to
appraise the quality of the study design and (for quantitative studies)
the risk of bias. Critical appraisal tools for cross-sectional studies are
the AXIS tool and JBI tools; for
randomized controlled trials are Cochrane
Risk of Bias Tool, JBI tool and CASP tools. Critical appraisal may also be
an integral part of formalized approaches to turn evidence into
recommendations for practice such as GRADE. The learning and teaching of
critical appraisal skills can be enhanced by conducting a mock randomized
controlled trial in class, such as the red Smarties trial in which
learners compared the effect of Smarties upon happiness.
Bias in Research.
Review Article
is an article that summarizes the current state of understanding on a
topic. A review article surveys and summarizes previously published
studies, rather than reporting new facts or analysis. Review articles are
sometimes also called survey articles or, in news publishing, overview
articles. Academic publications that specialize in review articles are
known as review journals. Review articles teach about: The main people
working in a field. Recent major advances and discoveries. Significant
gaps in the research. Current debates. Ideas of where research might go
next.
Topic and Comment of a sentence is what is being talked about, and the
comment (rheme or focus) is what is being said about the topic.
Editorial features
Letters to the Editor from members of the public; the page opposite
this page is called the op-ed page and frequently contains opinion pieces
by writers not directly affiliated with the publication.
Op-Ed is
denoting or printed on the page opposite the editorial page in a
newspaper, devoted to commentary, feature articles, etc. Op-ed is a
written prose piece typically published by a newspaper or magazine which
expresses the opinion of an author usually not affiliated with the
publication's editorial board. Op-eds are different from both editorials
(opinion pieces submitted by editorial board members) and letters to the
editor (opinion pieces submitted by readers).
Annotation is to
Highlight passages in books in order to refer back to key phrases
easily, or add marginalia to aid studying.
Marginalia are marks made in the margins of a book or other document.
Editing.
Markup Language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is
syntactically distinguishable from the text.
Metadata
provides information about other data.
Shoutbox
s a chat-like feature of some websites that allows people to quickly leave
messages on the website, generally without any form of user registration.
Most Comments Mean Nothing at All. Some
comments are just
about one particular detail, or it's someone just trying to be funny, or
it's someone who is mostly negative about a lot of things, or it's someone
who doesn't have enough knowledge and does not understand what they're
saying.
Feedback is
important, but feedback needs to be expressed by a
knowledgeable
person who is also an effective
communicator, honest and
compassionate.
Otherwise it's just background noise that needs to be
filtered out.
If you can't quote it, then
you don't know it, which means that
you're blowing it, or not revealing
anything useful. People are walking around
pretending to have memories.
And when you ask them about that memory, they can't recall it. So you're
saying that you have a memory but you can't remember it right now. Either
you are not revealing certain memories, or you just don't know that memory
well enough as you thought you did. You don't have the answer do you? You
just like criticizing people for spite, without adding anything of value.
You're basically riding on the coattails of other peoples words, like a
non-symbiotic leach. So why don't you criticize that?
Art Director is in charge of the overall visual appearance
and how it communicates visually, stimulates moods, contrasts features,
and psychologically appeals to a target audience. The art director makes
decisions about visual elements used, what artistic style to use, and when
to use motion.

Awareness
Stendhal Syndrome is a
psychosomatic disorder that causes
rapid heartbeat,
dizziness, fainting, confusion and even
hallucinations
when an individual is exposed to an experience of great personal
significance, particularly viewing art.
Citizenship in a Republic is the title of a speech given by
Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, at the
Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910. One notable passage on page
seven of the 35-page speech is referred to as "
The
Man in the Arena": "It is not the critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually
strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Rights of Artists
Visual
Artists Rights Act grants certain rights to artists and protection to
moral rights. Under VARA, works of art that meet certain requirements
afford their authors additional rights in the works,
regardless of any subsequent physical ownership of
the work itself, or regardless of who holds the
copyright to the work. For instance, a
painter may insist on proper attribution of his painting, and in some
instances may sue the owner of the physical painting for
destroying the painting even if the owner of the
painting lawfully owned it. Although federal law had not
acknowledged
Moral Rights before this act,
some state legislatures and judicial decisions created limited
moral-rights protection. The Berne Convention required the protection of
these rights by signatory states, and it was in response that the U.S.
Congress passed the VARA.
Exclusive rights under
VARA include: right to claim authorship, right to prevent the use
of one's name on any work the author did not create, right to prevent use
of one's name on any work that has been distorted, mutilated, or modified
in a way that would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation,
right to prevent distortion, mutilation, or modification that would
prejudice the author's honor or reputation. Additionally, authors of works
of "recognized stature" may prohibit intentional or grossly negligent
destruction of a work. Exceptions to VARA require a waiver from the author
in writing. To date, "recognized stature" has managed to elude a precise
definition. VARA allows authors to waive their rights, something generally
not permitted in France and many European countries whose laws were the
originators of the moral rights of artists concept. In most instances, the
rights granted under VARA persist for the life of the author (or the last
surviving author, for creators of joint works). VARA provides its
protection only to paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, still
photographic images produced for exhibition only, and existing in single
copies or in limited editions of 200 or fewer copies, signed and numbered
by the artist. The requirements for protection do not implicate aesthetic taste or value.
Museums - Art Websites
Museum is
a building or institution that cares for and displays a collection of
artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or
scientific importance. Many public museums make these items available for
public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. The
largest museums are located in major cities throughout the world, while
thousands of local museums exist in smaller cities, towns, and rural
areas. Museums have varying aims, ranging from the conservation and
documentation of their collection, serving researchers and specialists to
catering to the general public. The goal of serving researchers is not
only scientific, but intended to serve the general public. There are many
types of museums, including art museums, natural history museums, science
museums, war museums, and children's museums. According to the
International Council of Museums (ICOM), there are more than 55,000
museums in 202 countries.

Exhibitions - Festival's
Art
Exhibition is a place in which
art objects can be seen by an audience.
Expositions may present pictures, drawings, video, sound, installation,
performance, interactive art, new media art or sculptures by individual
artists, groups of artists or collections of a specific form of art.
The art works may be presented in museums, art halls, art clubs or private
art galleries, or at some place the principal business of which is not
the display or sale of art, such as a coffeehouse. An important
distinction is noted between those exhibits where some or all of the
works are for sale, normally in private art galleries, and those where
they are not. Sometimes the event is organized on a specific occasion,
like a birthday, anniversary or commemoration.
Art
Exhibition is traditionally the space in which art objects (in the
most general sense) meet an audience. The exhibit is universally
understood to be for some temporary period unless, as is rarely true, it
is stated to be a "permanent exhibition". In American English, they may be
called "exhibit", "exposition" (the French word) or "show". In UK English,
they are always called "exhibitions" or "shows", and an individual item in
the show is an "exhibit". Such expositions may present pictures, drawings,
video, sound, installation, performance, interactive art, new media art or
sculptures by individual artists, groups of artists or collections of a
specific form of art. The art works may be presented in museums, art
halls, art clubs or private art galleries, or at some place the principal
business of which is not the display or sale of art, such as a
coffeehouse. An important distinction is noted between those exhibits
where some or all of the works are for sale, normally in private art
galleries, and those where they are not. Sometimes the event is organized
on a specific occasion, like a birthday, anniversary or commemoration.
Exhibit is to show an attribute,
property, knowledge, or skill. To show, make visible or apparent. Give an
exhibition of to an interested audience.

Arts
Festival is a
festival that can encompass a wide range of art genres including
music, dance, film, fine art, literature, poetry etc. and isn't solely
focused on "
visual arts." Arts festivals may feature
a mixed program that include
music,
literature,
comedy, children's entertainment, science, or street theatre, and are
typically presented in venues over a period of time ranging from as short
as a day or a weekend to a month. Each event within the program is usually
separately ticketed. Arts festivals are largely curated by an artistic
director who handles the organizations' artistic direction and can
encompass
different genres, including fringe theater festivals that are
open access, making arts festivals distinctive from greenfield festivals,
which typically are weekend camping festivals such as Glastonbury, and
Visual Arts Festivals, which concentrate on the visual arts. Another type
of arts festivals are music festivals, which are outdoor musical events
usually spanning a weekend, featuring a number of bands and musical genres
including pop, rock, heavy-metal, and more. Since the 1960s, world-music
festivals have become popular in a variety of countries. The most
well-recognized music festival was Woodstock, which took place in 1969 in
Bethel, New York. It was attended by 400,000 people and featured
performances by The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and the Grateful Dead.

Art Fairs Calendar.
Art
Basel international
art fair staged annually in Basel, Switzerland;
Miami Beach, Florida; and Hong Kong, selling the works of established and
emerging artists. The commercial fairs also offer parallel programming
produced in collaboration with the host city's local institutions. While
Art Basel provides a platform for galleries to show and sell their work to
buyers, it also attracts a large international audience of art spectators
and students.
Exploitation of the Art World.
There are ignorant people who like to exploit artists and profit from their
work. These people use artists to make themselves look good
so they can then use that perceived success to exploit other people for
selfish gains. But there are people who do understand artists and know how
to help artists without exploiting them. But those people are not always
making the decisions. You need to
do the math and
accurately calculate
value, and then
step back and
see the whole picture.
Arts are a great way to create
economic activity
and a great way to create jobs, but art is only one of many things that need to be done.

Art Quotes - Sayings about Art
“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his
hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands, his head
and his heart is an Artist."
St.
Francis of Assisi"Vision is the art of seeing the
invisible."
Jonathan Swift"To develop a complete mind you should study the
science of art and study the
art of science. Learn how to see and
realize that
everything
connects to everything else."
Leonardo da Vinci
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by
mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does
not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact
than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious
endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to
carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more
glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which
we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that
is the highest of arts." -
Henry
David Thoreau
"An
Artist can make you see, not that
you were blind, it’s just that the way you were looking at
things before was constricted.
So you should never look at
things the same way through the
same eyes. Art is saying pay
attention. Not so much to bring attention but to say ‘Pay
Attention’."
"Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not
the political legislators who implement change after the fact."
William
S. Burroughs - Living on
the Fringe.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious, it is
the source of all true art".
Albert
Einstein.
"There are two ways to live your life. One
is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a
miracle."
"Do not quench your
inspiration and your
imagination; do not become the slave of your
model."
Vincent
van Gogh
"Art is a mirror held up to life"
"All art should be
useful, if it's merely decorative, it's a waste of time. You know, if
you're going to spend a couple of hours of your life listening to string
quartets or being at plays or going to a museum and looking at paintings,
something should happen to you. You should be changed."
Edward
Albee
"You can walk away from Art, but you
can never get away from Art."

"Everyone is an Artist, but not everyone chooses to explore Art."
"To remain whole, be twisted. To become straight, let yourself
be bent. To become full, be hollow. Be tattered, that you may be renewed."
Lao
Tzu
"You have your
brush, you have your colors, you paint paradise, then you go in"
into the painting that is..
Nikos Kazantzakis
"Before the digital world,
painting someone was the first kind of Photoshop."
"Instead of an Artist trying to explain what an art piece is
saying, they should explain what they are saying without the Art Piece."
"Art depicts life, and life depicts art.
Life had to be created by an artist. And if so, then artists are
just mimicking what life has already created. But life still
needs artists, because we are far from being finished with
designing. It's like God started a painting and is expecting us
to finish it."
"We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that
makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand.
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the
truthfulness of his lies. If he only shows in his work that he has
searched, and re-searched, for the way to put over lies, he would never
accomplish anything."
Pablo Picasso.
"I always wonder to what extent the artist aims to depict the reality
of a scene. Painters capture only one frame of reality and nothing before
or after it".

Koyaanisqatsi.
A Letter from Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb to the Art Editor of the New
York Times June 7, 1943. We feel that our pictures demonstrate our
aesthetic beliefs, some of which we, therefore, list:
1.To us art is an adventure into an unknown
world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risks.
2.This world of the imagination is
fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.
3.It is our functions as artists to make
the spectator see the world our way—not his way.
4.We favor the simple expression of the
complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of
the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat
forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.
5.It is a widely accepted notion among
painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well
painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as
good painting about nothing. We assert that the subject is crucial and
only that subject matter is valid which is tragic and timeless. That is
why we profess spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art.
Consequently if our work embodies these beliefs, it must insult anyone who
is spiritually attuned to interior decoration; pictures for the home;
pictures for over the mantle; pictures of the American scene; social
pictures; purity in art; prize-winning potboilers; the National Academy,
the Whitney Academy, the Corn Belt Academy; buckeyes, trite tripe; etc.
Sincerely yours, [signed] Adolph Gottlieb and Marcus Rothko, 130 State
Street Brooklyn, New York.
Rothko
would build up his compositions through several layers of work and the
final layer would complete the composition, other than perhaps for some
small tweaks afterwards. Rothko's method was to apply a thin layer of
binder mixed with pigment directly onto uncoated and untreated canvas and
to paint significantly thinned oils directly onto this layer, creating a
dense mixture of overlapping colors and shapes. His brushstrokes were fast
and light,, each layer made from a unique medium that fluoresces
differently. He used synthetic substances such as oil-modified alkyd and
acrylic resins alongside traditional materials, including egg, glue and
dammar resin, which are fast-drying and allowed him to apply subsequent
layers within hours. Resins increased the viscosity of the mixtures so the
paints could be diluted without losing their coherence. Rothko also
applied phenol formaldehyde to prevent layers from blending into one
another. Each mural differs with regard to its paint mixture or the
layering sequence, suggesting that Rothko constantly experimented.
Multiforms with large blurred fields of solid color devoid of any
figures or symbols. Abstract art, as it often is, means variation from a
precise intention is often acceptable and would be considered by the
artist to be neither right nor wrong.
What would you rather have, a painting or an untouched photograph?
That depends on the painting and the photograph of course. A painting communicates on several
levels. You have the artists perception, you have the skill of
the artist, and then you have the painting itself. And you also
have historical value from a certain period in time. The
photograph has the image, it also has the time and place from
which the photo was taken. The photo also has the skill and the
perception of the photographer. Though a photograph is more
accurate then a painting, a painting can still communicate
information.
I can take the photograph
and then paint that photograph and then I will have both, well almost. But
I can't take the painting and then take a photograph of that painting,
because it's still the same thing. So it still depends on the painting and
the photograph.

Technology and Art
Technology has made a lot of things easier, especially art and
creativity. But not everyone has great artistic abilities. But
now with technology, a lot more people can explore their
creativity without having to know all the in-depth experience,
skills
and knowledge that's needed in order to perform the
Craft of Artistic Creation. This does this not mean that the
world will be over saturated with too many people exploring
their creativity, and some how drown out something that is
perceived to be significant, by way of
Information Overload?
Having "More of Something" and Having "Too Much of Something"
are two different things.
Having more is having more opportunities to learn. Technology
has made it possible for more people to enter the arena, and
technology, along with
Human Ingenuity, will
figure out how to organize it all and categorize it all, just
like we have been doing since the beginning. Except now we can
do it with greater accuracy, and in less time, and make our
information a lot more user friendly. All because we have made
these amazing tools we call technology. But don't thank
technology, thank the millions of people who contributed to
technologies creation, its design and its manufacturing. Doing
all that so that millions of other people can benefit from these
tools. Technology is an extension of man, a man made tool. So
when you say "I am going to use technology in order to complete
a task", what you should really be saying is that "I'm using the
work and the contribution of
millions of other people in order
to complete this task." Thanks to all who have contributed to
our benefit, Amen!. So it would be nice thing and a good idea to
honor other peoples hard work by doing something productive once
in a while. Don't waste all that time that other people saved
you, you wouldn't want other people to waste your time, would
you?

The Human Brain will always be King
Will technology hurt critical
thinking? No. It took critical thinking to create technology,
and it will take more critical thinking to use technology
effectively and efficiently. It will also take more critical
thinking to monitor technologies accuracy, and it will take more critical thinking to improve
technology, when needed of course. The only time that Technology
hurts critical thinking is when a person lets it happen, or if
a person is not educated enough to know how to use human tools
without hurting themselves or others. Do I hear another course being created?
Mindset - To be an Artist is to have a Unique Mindset
Mindset is a combination of
experiences,
skills,
education and
training that influences
the way you
look at things and also influences
the way you approach things, as
well as, influences
the way you
respond in certain situations. A mindset could be a unique
skill set, or
a
profession or someone who is
an expert, or someone who is very
knowledgeable and
experienced
about a particular
subject that requires a unique
mindset that helps
guide a person through a particular problem that
needs to be solved. A mind set is a unique set of
parameters
or thought
processes that are used to complete a task, or to
reach a
goal. A mind set
shapes your skills,
thoughts,
feelings,
behavior,
attitude,
personality and
confidence, which can
determine your
decisions,
choices and actions that you take in
order to reach your goals. A mind set also includes good hand eye
coordination and being skilled with the
tools of the trade, as well as being skilled with using different
materials that are used to create or used to perform certain actions. A
good mind set is having the ability to
visualize your goal and knowing the steps needed to take in order to
accomplish your goal. A good mind set is when you
learn from your mistakes
and
overcome obstacles that
you may experience during the process of creation. A good mind set uses
mistakes as a way to hone
your skills and to sharpen your abilities. A good mind set practices
constantly in order to develop skills to be more effective, efficient, as
well as, to be more aware of what you're doing so that you can stay
focused on making a high quality product or providing a high quality
service. A mindset
focuses on just the things that are
relevant to that particular
goal. A good mind set commits to
the task at hand and stays focused on each step.
Mindset in
decision theory and general
systems theory, is a set of
assumptions,
methods, or
notations held by one or more people or
groups of people that is so established that it creates a
powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to
adopt or
accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools.

Learning StylesGrowth
Mindset is the belief that you are in
control of your own ability, and
that
you can learn anything you want
and
improve yourself
continually and grow and
develop continually, and thus, be control of your
own destiny. A growth mindset are more open and ready to take on
challenges. When people believe that their most basic abilities can be
developed through
dedication, hard
work,
brains and
talent, they can see no limit to
their growth. Growth Mindset is when a person believes they can achieve
their
goals with
hard work. This perspective gives a person the ability to
improve any skill or even change their
intelligence. Those with a growth
mindset
focus on learning from their
failures rather than worrying about
being judged by them. Those with a growth mindset take what they learned
from that failure and use it to
motivate them going forward.
A positive mindset is when you are more optimistic, motivated, and focused
on achieving your goals and meeting your needs. you're more focused on
opportunities rather than obstacles.
Growth Mindset (image).
Fixed Mindset is when someone
is
stubborn,
narrow-minded and
pessimistic. Unable
to
adapt. A negative
mindset is marked by self-doubt and a tendency to dwell on problems. A
person believes that their abilities cannot change and so they tend to
focus on the familiar.

A growth mindset of interest can spark innovative thinking.
Researchers find that viewing
interests as developable,
not
fixed, can help people make
connections
among
diverse fields that others might
miss, with implications for
innovation. Research suggests that understanding this can benefit
organizations in generating innovative solutions and ideas, job seekers
taking on new or wide-ranging responsibilities, and can create a culture
for
interdisciplinary learning and
problem-solving. People with a growth,
as compared to a fixed, mindset of interest were more likely to
bridge programs across the arts and
sciences to create new majors like
computational linguistics -- the use of
computer modeling to understand
natural language -- rather than creating majors that drew from only one of
those areas, like
computational chemistry --
the use of computer modeling to understand chemical processes. The
analysis also revealed higher quality integrative ideas from individuals
with a growth mindset.

is a
system of assumptions and
standards
that sanction behavior and give it meaning. Frame is to make up plans or
basic
details for a project. Formulate in a particular style or language.
The internal supporting
structure
that gives an artifact its

construction is
construct by
fitting or uniting parts together. Frame can also mean to enclose in or as

Conceptual Framework is an analytical tool with several variations and
contexts. It can be applied in different categories of work where an
overall picture is needed. It is used to make
conceptual distinctions and
organize ideas. Strong conceptual frameworks capture something real and do
this in a way that is easy to remember and apply.

Cognitive Belief Structure
refers to the mental framework or network of interconnected
beliefs an individual holds,
essentially representing how they organize and understand information
about the world, including their personal values, assumptions, and
convictions, which influence their thoughts and behaviors; it's
essentially a mental map of beliefs that are linked together and can be
accessed and applied in different situations. Key points about cognitive
belief structures:
Interconnectedness:
Beliefs within this structure are not isolated but are connected to one
another, meaning that changing one belief can potentially impact others
within the network.
Levels of belief: Some
beliefs may be more central and deeply held (core beliefs) while others
may be more peripheral and subject to change depending on the situation.
Impact on behavior: A person's cognitive
belief structure significantly influences how they interpret information,
make decisions, and react to situations.
Cognitive
psychology application: This concept is extensively studied in
cognitive psychology, particularly in areas like
cognitive behavioral therapy where
identifying and modifying negative belief patterns is a key component.
Example of a cognitive belief structure:
Belief about self-worth:
Someone with a negative self-belief structure might hold interconnected
beliefs like "I am not good enough," "I will always fail," and "People
will not like me," which can lead to avoidance behaviors and low
self-esteem.

Schema is a recurring
structure
within our cognitive processes which establishes patterns of
understanding and reasoning. As an understudy to embodied cognition, image
schemas are formed from our bodily interactions, from linguistic
experience, and from historical context.
Software Framework is an abstraction in which software providing
generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional
user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.
Mental State is a persons
intentions, beliefs,
desires,
behavior and
emotions at a given moment or in
a particular period of time. In
psychology it is a
mental condition in which the qualities of a state are relatively constant
even though the state itself may be dynamic or able to change constantly
and adapt.
"To have a Knack for something goes
beyond possessing talent in a certain skill, it's like having a
natural ability, an ability that only reveals itself when
something new is learned and then used in a particular way."

Insertion Sort is a simple
sorting algorithm that builds the final
sorted array (or list) one item at a time. It is much less efficient on
large lists than more advanced
algorithms
such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort. However, insertion sort
provides several advantages.

Moire Pattern are large scale interference
patterns
that can be produced when an opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is
overlaid on another similar pattern. For the moiré interference pattern to
appear, the two patterns are not completely identical, they must be
displaced, rotated, etc. or have different, but similar pitch.

Voronoi Diagram is a partitioning of
a
plane into regions based on distance to points in a specific subset of
the plane. That set of points (called seeds, sites, or generators) is
specified beforehand, and for each seed there is a corresponding region
consisting of all points closer to that seed than to any other. These
regions are called Voronoi cells. The Voronoi diagram of a set of points
is dual to its Delaunay triangulation.
Aliasing
is an effect that causes different signals to become indistinguishable (or
aliases of one another) when sampled. It also refers to the distortion or
artifact that results when the signal reconstructed from samples is
different from the original continuous signal.
Minimum Spanning Tree is a subset of the edges of a connected,
edge-weighted undirected graph that connects all the vertices together,
without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. That
is, it is a spanning tree whose sum of edge weights is as small as
possible. More generally, any undirected graph (not necessarily connected)
has a minimum spanning forest, which is a union of the minimum spanning
trees for its connected components.
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots
of color are applied in patterns to form an image.
Divisionism was the characteristic style in Neo-Impressionist painting
defined by the separation of colors into individual dots or patches which
interacted optically.

Website Wireframe also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint,
is a visual guide that represents the
skeletal framework
of a website. Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging
elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. The purpose is usually
being informed by a business objective and a creative idea. The wireframe
depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website’s content, including
interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together.
The wireframe usually lacks typographic style, color, or graphics, since
the main focus lies in functionality, behavior, and priority of content.
In other words, it focuses on what a screen does, not what it looks like.
Wireframes can be pencil drawings or sketches on a whiteboard, or they can
be produced by means of a broad array of free or commercial software
applications. Wireframes are generally created by business analysts, user
experience designers, developers, visual designers, and by those with
expertise in interaction design, information architecture and user
research. Wireframes focus on: The range of functions available. The
relative priorities of the information and functions. The rules for
displaying certain kinds of information. The effect of different scenarios
on the display. The website wireframe connects the underlying conceptual
structure, or information architecture, to the surface, or visual design
of the website. Wireframes help establish functionality and the
relationships between different screen
templates of a website. An iterative process, creating wireframes, is
an effective way to make rapid prototypes of pages, while measuring the
practicality of a design concept. Wireframing typically begins between
“high-level structural work—like flowcharts or site maps—and screen
designs.” Within the process of building a website, wireframing is where
thinking becomes tangible. Aside from websites, wireframes are utilized
for the prototyping of mobile sites, computer applications, or other
screen-based products that involve
human-computer interaction.

THE 5 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF FLAG DESIGN
1. Keep It Simple - The flag should be so simple that a child
can
draw it from memory.
2. Use Meaningful Symbolism - The flag’s images, colors, or
patterns should relate to what it
symbolizes.
3. Use 2–3 Basic Colors - Limit the number of colors on the flag
to 3, which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
4. No Lettering or Seals - Never use
writing of any kind or an
organization’s seal.
5. Be Distinctive or Be Related - Avoid duplicating other flags,
but use similarities to show connections.
