The Beautiful Beast
Art impacts every person, in all environments, by embracing all possible benefits across all mediums. Art enables the collaboration between the work and the medical laboratory professional and brings it to the patients they help to diagnose. Artistic processes can offer both the patient and the diagnostic team an avenue to improve communications regarding infectious diseases with art, improving health and healthcare. Important elements of collaborating ideas are to note whether they are entirely experimental, entirely conceptual, or somewhere in the middle. Experiences in modern art are consistent with the middle area of collaboration amongst all artistic processes. The core group of famous Impressionists - Monet, Picasso,

Jerram chose art over science as a career path to have the freedom to move from one subject to the next. Jerram has created several works involving his background in science, “Scientists and artists start by asking similar questions about the natural world. They just end up with completely different answers," says Jerram (Jerram, 2013, p. 249). The creation of his sculptural installation, Glass Microbiology, seen in Image 1, is based on the collaboration of art and science, specifically, laboratory science, and the virologists that focus on the pathogens that infect patient populations, causing world epidemics or pandemics (Soares, …show more content…
The triptych, made of both clear and frosted glass, are meant to be held as they are sized to perfectly fit into the hand. The difference between the beauty of the pieces and the devastation they represent are an interesting approach to allow people to contemplate how these pathogens impact world populations. To most people, the beauty of the crystalline sculptures represent themes of death, immunosuppression, and fear of the unknown in clear glass. The sculpted jewels allow the art enthusiast to realize the advancements in the medical laboratory field while allowing the scientists to see how far knowledge regarding these disease producers have spread. Scientists have made amazing progress towards the advancements in two-dimensional graphic representations of pathogens that affect the patient populations. The science that drives the laboratory professional to diagnose, has also inspired Jerram to develop several artistic representations of various pathogens that harm patients. Glass Microbiology has allowed patients and laboratory professionals an artistic tool to visualize the evolution of the viruses they are working against (Arnold,

The American artist Fred Tomaselli arranges pills, leaves, insects and cutouts of animals and body parts to create his pieces of art. His incorporation of items are arranged to suggest a level of perception along with a heightened visual experience. This gives me, the viewer, a sense of Energy. The perception of color that Fred uses gives a gravitating feel. If you take a look at the heart of this piece you can instantly visualize the different items Fred incorporates into the piece.
What inspires artistic genius? Some proclaim God, others beauty, many believe instanity, and a few say….mind altering drinks. One cannot but notice the companionship of alchohol with music, literature, and poetry. During the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Absinthe was the beverage of choice for many prominent artists, and was at the center of the lives of such famous minds as Degas, Manet, Gauguin, and Poe. Le Feé Verte (its pseudonym, meaning green fairy) while immensly popular at one point, was prohibited because of its dangerous side effects and “immoral” connotations. However, its sudden come back in Europe and the U.S. has only reaffirmed its symbol as a drink for artistic revolution and just plain drunkeness.
Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously
Then, using ART or not is a personal decision, taking into account all aspects that it involves. There are advantages for many people that have more value than the disadvantages. Nowadays, society is most morally permissible, and is concerned over personal needs more than the social consequences. Although there is always the preoccupation of the limits of science, but the most common thought is that "it is not an issue for us,” law, religion, and scientists are those who must solve it.
The Beast (aka The Beast of War) is about a Soviet T-62 tank lost in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1981. The movie was released in 1988. It was based on a William Mastrosimone play entitled Nanawatai. It was directed by Kevin Reynolds, who later directed Waterworld. It starred George Dzundza, Jason Patric, Steven Baldwin. A Soviet tank unit in Afghanistan helps "clear out" a village, destroying it. One of the tanks, led by a ruthless Commander Daskal, orders the crushing of a captured prisoner under their treads of the tank. Leaving the village, Daskal's tank is separated from its unit and is soon lost. Mujahadeen warriors, led by the murdered prisoner's brother Taj, discover the lost tank and see an opportunity to take revenge. Knowing that the tank is in a valley with only one exit, they begin following its tracks, intending to use a captured RPG to attack it. Some women from the village also follow along with captured grenades in hand. The tank crew is made up of four Soviets and one Afghani. As night falls and the crew sets up camp, the Afghan tank crewman Samad teaches the tank driver, Konstantin Koverchenko, about the fundamental principles of Pashtunwali, the Pashtun people's code of honor: melmastia (hospitality), badal (revenge), and nanawatai, which requires even an enemy to be given sanctuary if he asks. We then see that Commander Daskal, called "Tank Boy" during the Great Patriotic War for destroying a number of German tanks in the Battle of Stalingrad, is not ruthless only to the enemy, but also to his men. He despises Samad and kills him on the pretext of suspecting him a traitor. After Konstantin threatens to report Daskal for the killing, Daskal orders the other two crew members to tie Konstantin to a rock, with a grenade to serve as booby-trap for the Mujahadeen. Some wild dogs come upon him and as Konstantin tries to kick at them, the grenade rolls down the rock and explodes, killing a dog but leaving Konstantin unhurt. The sound, however, draws the group of Afghani women. They begin to stone him and are soon joined by the mujahadeen. Konstantin is saved when he remembers Samad's lesson about "nanawatai," sanctuary. He calls out the word and the mujahadeen are obligated to take him with them. Camping out in a cave, they feed him and ask him to fix the broken RPG.
The daguerreotype served as a medium for two fundamental forms of expression in the early days – in the field of both the arts and sciences (Daniel, 2004). Daguerre discovered that he could capture images of artistic sculptures so that people could appreciate art even though they were not physically present at the location of the art piece, he also realised that it could be used as a scientific tool where the daguerreotype could capture images through microscopes and other scientific devices so that people did not have to possess any scientific equipment to view the generated images (Daniel, 2004). The unprecedented ability to reproduce a certain image that once could only be viewed through the human eye and stored in the human brain made the daguerreotype a phenomenal invention.
Between five different frames displayed in the gallery, as I walked down the aisle, this artwork caught my attention. Just looking at this artwork, I could easily tell that it was broken body parts flowing all across the space, colors are nearly identical, and gold wrap surrounded as a frame of the artwork, as well as a light bulb falling next to a dolphin shaped element. Once I got closer to the artwork, I started to think deeply into what I can see in a connection of what I identified by looking. The artist Kayla Daniels used different unrelated elements in her artwork to make the viewer see the artwork deeply rather than looking at it. As I saw this artwork deeply I began to think that there is meaning behind the broken body parts flowing around with different elements, which could describe a certain experience the artist had gone through. After a minute of observing, I could see that the artist used the method of movement to show that the floating body parts and elements were falling into a different world or space
The fairytale The Beauty and the Beast is illustrated as a love story, however when looking deeper into Belle’s nature it seems to be that she is affected by several disorders throughout the film. In Beauty and the Beast, we see Disney once again sugarcoat personal problems in order to present a young audience with a one dimensional and simple female hero. Belle has clearly shown symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder, Stockholm Syndrome and Schizophrenia which can be treated by a biological therapeutic approach or a psychoactive drug approach and therapy.
Health authorities have long known that the arts can play a valuable role in the physical and mental
Art therapy is a relatively young form of treatment that began around the mid-20th century. Kanchan Dilawari and Nishi Tripathi (2014) stated that the birth of art therapy goes back to the British painter, Adrian Hill, who suggested artistic work to his fellow inpatients, while he was treated in a tuberculosis (T.B.) sanatorium. Adrian Hill had discovered the therapeutic benefits of drawing and painting while recovering from tuberculosis. Around the same time, Margaret Naumburg and Dr. Edith Kramer started using art therapy in the United States.
Strength is a commonly misconstrued concept. Most often associated with nouns such as masculinity, muscles, and dominance, other meanings of the word are not as prominently recognized. Mental and emotional strength are but a few of the many other interpretations of strength and power that are cast aside and deemed less important. From a young age, children are taught misrepresenting values of what strength could be. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston is a prime example of the stereotype cloaking the word. Gaston extravagantly boasts that his best characteristics are those of the size of his muscles, and his skill in the wrestling ring. However, although this representation could be argued as true strength, it also overlooks the mental and emotional
“There exists a secret affinity between certain objects.”- The Secret Life of Objects. This two dimensional, 21 1/4 x 25 9/16" (54 x 65 cm) canvas, hangs in the wall of the exhibit. It was the most exquisite art work by Magritte. The artist takes a regular egg sitting on a table and gives it life in his painting. As if seeing the future, he paints the egg not as it is but as what it will become. In the painting is Magritte himself looking at the egg with this intensity trying to grasp
Art therapy has emerged as an exceptional profession in 1940’s. “ Art therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem”. In the late nineteenth century, French psychiatrists Tardieu and Paul-Max Simon viewed art therapy as a cogent tool to identify specific types of mental illness or distressing events. Art has also been associated spiritual power. The artistic forms of the Hindu and the Buddhist mandala and the Native American sand painting are considered powerful healing tools. One goal of art therapy is to ameliorate or restore a client’s normal functioning and his or her sense of personal well-being. Art therapy can provide the client-artist with critical insight into emotions, thoughts, and feelings. It helps in Self-discovery, Personal fulfillment, Empowerment, Relaxation and stress relief and physical rehabilitation. It is a two-part process which involves creating art and discovering its meaning. Art therapy has proven to be a powerful tool for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s patients can use art as a form of expression, particularly individuals who can’t communicate
Dissections were a public event during the time, which also highlights the social importance and engagement with science. Rembrandt’s fascination with medicine is noted in another similar work, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Deijman. Both works further the notion that science gave rise to many topics of interest for artist, and that many creators saw science as a stimulating creative field. (Kruger, 2005).
