to Present English Art “Britain had one century of painting.” Elie Faure’s statement summarizes best what critics, art researchers and collectors haven’t had the space, the heart or the inspiration to say in their restless attempts to present English Art. WHY? To answer this question we must take into account more than history and documents, we must evaluate the essence, the soul of the creator, of the English man. Andrew Crawley describes in his book (“England”), the English people as
students was to write the opening, group paragraph to Newsday and the Brooklyn police in Standard English. I quickly wrote down my belief, for I wanted to remember it as I read on. I knew that whatever was to come could be powerful enough to sway me, or raw enough to leave me lost. Before I delve in to my final belief on the ultimate choice made by the students of June Jordan’s class, “The Art of Black English”, I must justify the reasoning behind paying tribute to Reggie Jordan in the “language of [his]
Art of Characterization Aristotle laid utmost stress on the plot in a story, later on, this emphasis shifted to character. Character is less important in symbolic, satirical, stream of consciousness, technique novel or highly experimental novels. A great novel enables us to identify ourselves with hero or heroine and enjoy characters. The most enjoyable fictional characters seem to be very realistic. The pre-independence novelists showed marked tendency to construct regular plot, so as to convey
The art of composition can be easily identified as the key focus in English 101. What I have found is that the class revolves around the process and individual steps it takes to compose a well written essay necessary to succeed in the class. Aside from succeeding in English 101, it also teaches students how to excel in their other classes and in their future profession. The initial question I had that was answered by the readings was what exactly is composition? The answer was described in an abundance

when funds are scarce, arts courses are usually the first to be dropped from a school’s curriculum” (“Arts Education”). While many argue that music education is an unnecessary cost for schools, it improves student’s overall well being. The academic benefits of music education are immense. In a study by Shirley Brice Heath, a researcher at Stanford University and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, students with at least three hours of participation in the arts, three days a week for
Art has been part of this world for thousands of years. And for thousands of years, people have used the arts for an endless number of things from performing rituals to self expression. The arts have been a huge part of people’s lives. People celebrated the arts and gave respects to those who entertained others through theater.

concept of art plays an important role in the development and learning of children. Art is a form of expression where individuals are able to express their own feelings, ideas, and creativity.

Art has always been a large part of my life. As a young girl, I always looked forward to receiving kits for watercoloring or a new set of colored pencils. I’d doodle on my papers in class to pass the time. I yearned for opportunities to express my creativity even doing so on poster board projects where I’d spend hours creating borders and framing my information with various colored papers. However, it was not until I began to take art courses at the high school did I recognize the value that creativity
At Falmouth High School, I am very involved in the art program which would not be where it is today without Jane Baker. Jane Baker is the Studio Art teacher who transformed the art department’s capabilities, rallied for its funding and gave students a chance to truly pursue art in a dynamic environment.

number of unemployment rising, people are furthering their education to meet the needs of jobs available. Schools are now requiring some form of the arts to be taken in order to graduate. Although the arts may have many benefits, I believe that funding in the school systems is not needed. “Corporations and foundations report that giving to the arts has not fully recovered from the recession of the late 1980s and early '90s” (Clark ¶14). When we think about all the modern technology in the world

For a long time, a career in the arts has always lingered in the back of my head as a sort of rebellious and risky idea. However, I’ve always tried to suppress this desire from all the criticism from articles, family and friends regarding art related careers. Living in such a metropolitan city like London influenced me to become interested in culture, the visual and performing arts at a young age. The diversity and multicultural atmosphere of the city made it a vibrant and exciting place to grow
course called Arts & Society. This course was chosen as it was the closest equivalent to a Cultural Studies course; it focused on studying the arts through a sociological lens. In the unit, the term art was employed in its widest definition. It not only focused on the fine arts, such as opera, painting and theater, but also on what commonly is considered the popular culture: film, television series and popular music. The aim of the unit was to give an overview of the sociology of the arts and explore
Have you ever felt something can be a mess, that mess and budget cut could be the fine arts program. The fine arts program can sometimes be hard to keep up with. You constantly have to clean up a mess that you didn’t do and sometimes some kids might blame you for doing something that you didn’t do just out of spite. Some kids might not enjoy art or music and they probably won’t do the work they are given. For example one day we were working with paint and a lot of kids were being loud and messing

(An argument concerning why arts should be required in all schools) Many states throughout North America don’t require art classes such as art, dance, drama, and music. Many states require credits of art classes in order for their students to graduate from high school. Schools in New York City note that not requiring arts classes in high school is a problem. Administrators from New York schools admit that “low income areas in NYC look to cut out art education because

Although technically he was born on the East coast, he grew up in Colorado, and moved to Southern California in 1956 to attend the University of Redlands, where he received a Ph.D. in English in 1965 (Chuang 2009). When Adams returned to Colorado to begin an anticipated career as an English Teacher, he was in shock by the changes he saw in the landscape.

Literate arts is what makes the world more creative and everlasting with inventions. Mae Jemison once said,“The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and science are avatar of human creativity.” Literate arts are a way for us to express ourselves; they are ways of communication such as poems, songs, or artistic works. In a transcript
