In H.G. Hovagimyan’s TOKARTOK: The Censorship of Art, he states: "Artists are often asked to change parts of their works to conform to the publics morality. This has been going on since the Pope asked Michelangelo to paint fig leaves on Adam and Eve." Yes do not forget about the control the
a crane or roughly 7 people to maneuver them. It’s hard to determine what actually is the art in this work when you look at all of the proposed prompts because technically without all of the workers, land owners, the artists themselves, and the original idea this art work wouldn’t exist. I personally think overall the art in the project is the umbrellas themselves. The preparation of it was technically art as well, as many preparatory sketches were created of what they desired to be the final result
Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, and even restaurants specializing in ethnic foods. However, the thing that most intrigues and excites me about New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Interestingly, my first visit to the Museum was almost accidental. When I was a freshman, my mother was taking an art class at the College of Staten Island which required a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum, and my brother and I both agreed to accompany her. I will never forget the moment that I first
ironically an economics concept. Based on the findings of historian Kate Hill in her book Culture and Class in English Public Museums, 1850 – 1914, I conclude that the rarity, storied biography, and “significance in human history” of certain works of art can give them mystical attributes (11), qualifying them as potential candidates for what I deem museum-hood. As the first nude bronze statue created during the Renaissance (McHam 44), Donatello’s David would certainly qualify as a significant work.
Corin Nemec states, “What motivates me in art is the ugly and beautiful nature of the truth. It has to be truthful and honest, even if it is ugly and grotesque” (Nemec). Often art that appears unaesthetic and grotesque on the surface is the most honest. Ugly art compels one think more about why the artist chose to depict their work in the way they did knowing it is not aesthetically pleasing. Damien Hirst created art that appears ugly on the surface to convey a deeper and somewhat dark meaning about
Video games should be considered a form of art because they take time to create, are protected under the same rights as other art forms, and include many other forms of art. I believe that video games should be considered an art form. I believe that with how many genres and games in general, there are that most are art worthy.

Art galleries and museums are visual spaces used exclusively for an exhibition and education of art. Galleries and museums are an essential part of our society as it promotes cultural diversity and differences. The galleries and museums display art to present the viewer an insight into a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and communities.

Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the 1950’s characterized by imagery from pop culture mostly on advertisements and news often using the sense of irony. This movement was more of a cultural revolution using vibrant colors and bold graphics to represent a statement and provide an instant meaning. It has a relation with the abstract expressionism, however it is clearer and has a comic book vibe. Pop art is not trying to confuse you and make you analyze its meaning, on the contrary, it wants
