Im in college and I was told that art isnt getting funded as much as it once was, and i am now in a committee to save the art of life. what are good programs that i could do on campus that will attract students to come out and enjoy a night thats full of the beauty of art? art is music, drawing, etc. any ideas? all ideas are appreciated.
Art is becoming extinct?
I guess it has a lot to do with where you are from. There may be a local artists guild that could help you or find out what is already going on locally. If you are near a major city there are probably tons of things in the art community already going on. Find some private studios that can help you. Another idea that would be good for a campus would be to hold some sort of festival with music, live performers, and booths for artists. A dinner with a silent auction on paintings would be fun. Make things more interesting with up to date themes. I'm from Detroit and the 9th annual Dirty Show is coming up. Its all erotic art and nudes. Its held at a local hotel. It draws a very wide array of art lovers. Hopefully this year my mom will have some paintings in the show! You could help start a long lasting tradition.

Reply:don't be silly, that would never happen
Reply:good art is.
it's getting buried below a thick pile of kids with no useful skills but deep rooted idea that college degree = fat paycheck.
So now 9 out 10 campus art events that we have per week have the kind of art that nobody would pay a penny to look at. Art made by artists who will earn their living as admin staff or manual laborers.
Yes, we gotta cut art scholarships and only sponsor the kids who have the talent. This way only the good art that people want to see will be made.
Reply:Hey Man ...don't ever think to believe that...even to think of that is an Art of Sin. Art cannot be asked...from external source...its within your ART Fashion in life! Funding meagerness does not mean Art becoming extinct! You have to exhaust your art desire to expound ART. Its the only supposed to be very rare God's given Gift to mankind to let share the Power of God to CREATE!!! WHEN YOUR A VIVID PRACTITIONER OF ARTS , YOU ARE A CREATOR!!! Be a Real Artist to answer your own Q, that you would know REAL Art is never dying...start it within you, man! Even Edgar Allan Poe has to put himself to trance of becoming always drunk to enhance the inner most source of Arts in him, bountiful...spacious...countless. Art to be real art is to share and be appreciated...if not its just a mere junk...garbage...Art is boundless...Universal...a multi facet language... mystic...infinitisimal...and respect no laws of man...God is the End and beginning of ART. You can be an artist... for you are a creation of God...and God is within YOU!...unless your closing the link.....man.
Reply:throw an awesome party with an awesome DJ, and invite local college artist to show their work. do it on a Saturday night or Friday night. A night of partying with art involved is always fun. of course give out flyers and invite all your friends and so forth. then make it a regular tradition. (i went to one at a friends apartment, and i had a good time) plus the DJ another friend played great electronic/experimental/ down tempo music.
Reply:Just make it a big party, advertise with flyers around school, and see if you can get an add on a local TV or radio station (alot will do it free for a non-prophit organization.)
Good LUCK!!! Art must live on!!!
Reply:Ridding other teenagers' minds of that gosh-darn rap.
Reply:Art can not and will not become extinct. It may change forms and formats, but it will always exist. Things change. That is the nature and complexity of existence.
My opinion of art may vary from the opinion of the next person. You might be wasting your time.
Reply:sad isnt it? what better things are there in the world than being creative? i dont know put up some pictures that alot of people can relate too. thats the only idea i got.

Art School?
I'm just a bit curious to those that have gone to art school. Has going to an art school improve your knowledge in art? Have you been disapointed by teachers and other students? Do you find it important (not to obtain a degree but) to understand the concepts in order to become more succesful in your art? I have gone to school myself and i have my own thoughts, i'm just a bit curious to know what you think.
Art School?
i went to college for fine arts.
i didn't like the structure of the course, it was very strict and you didn't get much freedom to create. However, the experience was amazing, because i met another 40 students ranging in age from 18 - 50 who have a passion for art. It inspired me to create more and more and just let go of all my creative energy. The bad thing was, most of the work i was doing was not for school. I had a hard time making art for school, I devoted most of my time to the art I wanted to make for myself because my creative energy was just going wild being around all those people. But I'm a lot happier I left after my first year. And I feel knowing the fundamentals and furthering your knowledge of concepts is very important as well. I don't necessarily think you need a degree to prove can grasp those things. I feel surrounding yourself with creative people makes you more likely to be successful in your art, and school is just a very obvious place to do it, the degree doesn't mean much in my opinion.
Reply:i never been to art school but it talks bout nature whats going on today what ur going to be when u grow up and things like that mostly it talks bout ur culture
Reply:Yes , I once went to so called "art school".
You need to know how to write an essay about art history.
We did the Renaissance, Michelangelo and Leonardo and Raphael, Titian, Tintoritto, Goya, Velaquez,Turner and the modern ones Gobi.
By the time we went to art school, you must remember the great masters were already accomplished sculptors, painters,architects.
Michelangelo was 26 when we sculpted the famous Pieta.
One of the most beautiful sculptures in the world.
I like Art Attack, they have ideas , breaking the barriers of doing your own thing.

Is classical art dead?
Response to bluelotus' response: Yes, art today is like interpretive literature or poetry. It's not really native to a visual experience, and you have to have read the right critics and art historians to "get it". I think his point was, how have people gotten away with taking the love and the passion out of art? How is it right that someone can design something, have someone else make it, and call that art? So, you had an idea, and it's clever, and the curators love it. Great. Perhaps the curators have seen too much art. It's also possible to listen to too much music. I work in one of the US' top museums, and I see a lot of crap come in and out of there. Art that only requires "research" and not looking inward as well as outward can have a very narrow appeal and effect.
Is classical art dead?
God no classic art not dead, neither will it ever be dead. Classic artist have an air of mystery and magic to them and with the rising interest in the supernatural within popular culture and the likes of Dan Brown trusting the classics to the entire planet the people of this world will appreciate classic art and artist for many years to come regardless of trends in the modern art clicks.
Reply:art is in the eye of the beholder. no classical art is not dead
Reply:Classical art will never die and that’s because we still fell grateful for our routs – old teachers of art. But don’t be so negative while talking about modern art – it’s the time when every artist is looking for his passion and at this particular moment anyone can make a mistake. Eventually we will have new classics and new modern art.
Reply:The reason anything is considered a classic is because it stands the test of time. It is perennial. It defies trends. It is the standard all aspire to achieve.
What is considered art can became as shifting as the sands. There are trends that come and go, but true art remains.
Reply:classical art is neither dead nor alive because we can see it alive on special occassions or well organised functions

What defines art? What are its strengths and weaknesses? What function should art play, if any?
Include in your consideration all popular and historical art forms, examples being music, literature, visual art, dance, etc. Feel free to add to or subtract from anything in that list. Also, please try to be as objective as possible. I know, as does everyone else in the world that art is inherently subjective, but obviously art differs in quality. What should the criterion be when judging art? Please be as elaborate or as succinct as you wish.
What defines art? What are its strengths and weaknesses? What function should art play, if any?
I'm afraid I can't be objective about something I'm so passionate about! Art to me is a necessity. It nourishes the soul. I am an artist (painter working in acrylic on canvas) and a musician (singer/songwriter/guitarist). Art for me is therapy, it is an expression of my thoughts, emotions, it tells my life story.
Being able to share my expression with others (by showing %26amp; selling paintings and by playing my music at a local bar) is among my life's greatest rewards. I suppose I would fall under the school of Expressionism since art for me is about expressing emotion.
Since visual art is my area of expertise I will focus on that. Art has had different roles throughout history. Originally it was a means of recording history. Before there were cameras, it was the only visual record of events, people etc. Neoclassicists like Jacques Louis David revived this classic form of art depicting historical %26amp; mythological events. Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci focused on religious themes in a naturalistic though idealized style. Realists like Gustav Courbet depicted sometimes ugly %26amp; mundane reality as opposed to the idealized beauty of classicists. Romanticists like Eugene Delacroix depicted romantic %26amp; exaggerated themes. Impressionists like Claude Monet tried to catch the effects of light with dappled brushstrokes. They began focusing as much on the paint itself as the subject. Expressionists such as Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch expressed emotions through their paintings. Symbolists like Odilon Redon explored the mind, feelings and deeper meanings rather than the literal physical world. Surrealists like Salvador Dali had a hyper realistic detailed style yet showed images from their imagination, dreams, nightmares, bizarre fantasy landscapes. Modern, abstract, non-representational artists such as Wassily Kandinsky played with colours, textures, forms %26amp; patterns. His paintings remind me of music %26amp; in fact are often named compositions. Pop artists such as Andy Warhol played with modern culture %26amp; icons (such as Marilyn Monroe or a can of Campbells soup) in a colourful, graphic style.
Music, dance etc every form of art has changed and evolved throughout history, taking on different manifestations. Art, in all its forms, is an expression of its time. It encapsulates the culture, the mood of the society from which it springs. You can look at a painting, listen to a piece of music, see a piece of clothing or furniture (fashion %26amp; design are also art forms) %26amp; know which period they are from. Art is the soul of society. It represents our hopes, dreams, fears, thoughts, our ideals of beauty. It is a statement.
Art is anything that moves you. Anything that lifts your spirit, makes you think, gets your attention. I could not live without art. My walls are covered in my own paintings. Having art on the walls makes a house a home. I am always surrounded by music (the radio at work or in the car etc). We may all have different tastes in art, music etc. What is considered "good" is subjective. I like a wide range of music from classical to alternative. I like them for different reasons. I find classical music spiritually uplifting. Alternative rock %26amp; techno gives me energy %26amp; makes me want to dance.
To me, all art forms are divine. They are celebrations of the human spirit. They lift us out of ourselves, they jolt us out of our mundane existence. They move us.
You can judge art based on certain criteria (visual art for instance has certain elements: compostition, colour, etc) you can say whether it was well-executed. Just as with music you can judge how well instruments are played etc but there is a magical quality to a piece. Any work of art has a character which can not be judged objectively because it is entirely a matter of preference. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is art. Critics can try to tell us what is good or isn't %26amp; why but the bottom line is that we each make the choice for ourselves. What do you choose to hang on your wall? What music do you like to listen to? That is what good art is to you.
Sorry for not being succinct!
:)
Art matters. It is a strength. There is no weakness. The world without art would be a bleak place indeed. (There is art behind everything you encounter. Nature is God's work of art. Everything else you see, hear %26amp; touch is man's.)

Is art a religion or is religion an art?
Art is a symbolic representation of something. Art be considered a religion because it let's us connect to the essense hiding behind a symbol. However religion can be considered an art form, because there are so many different religions(symbols or forms of art), that in the end, let's us trascend.
Is art a religion or is religion an art?
By the worlds standards religion is art. When one has talent he or she is called and Artist. It is a gift to desire the things of God. There are art forms called religion...but there is only one God called faith and trust. We trust him and have faith in him he is awesome!!!!!
Reply:Neither. He's my next door neighbor
Reply:Neither. Religion is religion. Art is art. They are two different things.
Reply:Religion is a disease.
The only relationship between art and religion worth noting is some of the art commisioned by the church (Michaengelo, Bernini) and the sexual angst, created by religion, that is often reflected in art.
Reply:if A=B, then B=A. no matter the order of the variables...the result is the same.
Reply:Neither.

Good Art Or Bad Art? How’s This For A Simplified Definition Of Art?
'In the ever changing world of art the definition of what art is seems to have become anything we can get away with. But at least one constant qualifier should always be maintained: If your art work is original enough or profound or perceptive or accomplished enough you shouldn’t have to try to get away with anything.'

Good Art Or Bad Art? How’s This For A Simplified Definition Of Art?
I know of two definitions of art that are only two words long. Art is:
"Expressive form" - a fellow grad student
"Experience, framed" - myself
Reply:art is anything with more than one peice to it
Reply:There is no "good art" or "bad art".
There is only "art you like" or "art you dont like".
And this day of age, they are now defined to be "art that is in" or "art that is out " just like a trend.
Reply:It has always been a very simple thing to me , art is that which shows the viewer (or listener) something he/she didn't notice before. That's it in a nutshell! Art opens up new worlds to both the deliverer and the receiver. Art is vital to life. But that's just me and how I always boil everything down to its simplest.
Reply:Love your Question and you are right on.
Reply:I personally believe that art is reflection of what someone sees and feels.
Another favorite definition:
"Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth."
Pablo Picasso
Reply:Nothing simple about that........
It would even make your own statement art...and why shouldn't it be?
Reply:I do agree with most of that, but I don't agree with it completely. Art doesn't have to be something that no one ever thought of before, for everything in this world is at least based on something. For example, painter Renoir actually made his style of art from Monet, which was also inspired by other artists of pointilism, such as Seurat. But others than that, it is a great way to define art.
Reply:That is your opinion, another person would admire a piece of art that doesn't do anything to you.
We all have a little artist in us, that is the beauty of art, that's the very point. in fashion for instance, i see lines of clothing that in my view look ridicules, people buy them because of the label - you can look at that as getting away with anything and you can apply this to any form of art and think that, but others might not agree with you, therefor, there is no good or bad art.

Art School Audition?
Okay, so I am going to be auditioning for an art highschool in January for the next school year (my sophmore year), and I am kind of freaking out. I just recently started drawing, mostly within the past year, but I have always been interested in art.
On the audition information, they say to bring a portfolio of your best pieces, there will be a written critique based on a given work of art, the student will need to draw something from direct observation, and there will be a personal interview with the visual arts department.
Does anyone have any advice? I am very nervous since they say to bring in any awards/achievements that you have earned, and i haven't got any of these. However, I am very determined to persue this as a career in the future.
Art School Audition?
First, RELAX. The point of attending this school is to improve your skills. If you were already spectacular, there would be no point in attending. They're not expecting you to draw like da Vinci- especially at a pre-college level. Keep that in mind.
Secondly, organize what you have for your portfolio. Take your favorite works and those that you know are our best. Ask the opinions of others (even those who claim not to know anything about art- they can still recognize something they like.) If you don't have enough pieces to meet what's required (if they didn't give a number, and you can't find out by calling, keep in mind most colleges look for 10-20 in an undergraduate admissions portfolio.), start to beef it up. Do studies, things like still lifes and figure drawing. Don't worry about doing imaginative pieces just yet, focus on drawing what you see. Do as many as you have time for, and tweak your portfolio accordingly.
Third, when it comes to writing your critique, take it seriously. Do your research, and not in Wikipedia. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that although you need to research it thoroughly, they're not looking for a biography on the artist or a summary of the work. They want your opinion on what works, why, and what could make it more successful.
If you are as serious about this as you sound, you should be fine- awards and acheivements or not- especially as you have a personal interview.
For further info, especially on how to set up a portfolio, check out the websites of a few art schools (links can be found on the National Portfolio Day Association's website).
And just remember: Relax, and have fun with it! Good luck!
Reply:I would draw a series of still lifes over the next few weeks...
1. an egg on a white cloth surface
2. a single piece of fruit... sitting on a window ledge
3. a bowl of fruit [doesn't have to be more than 2 or 3 pieces]
4. a corner of a room
5. a piece of meat or a fish.
If you do those you should be prepared for whatever they give you to do.
Keep it simple.... simplify the composition... above all train your eye to LOOK.
