A Comparison of Tenth and Eleventh Grade Art Students with and without a Junior High Art Experience

Leinneweber, Margo 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was any difference between beginning high school art students at Calhoun High School, Port Lavaca, Texas, who had had a junior high art experience and those who had no such experience in regard to their art information, art attitudes, and ability to produce quality art work. The Eisner Art Information and Art Attitude Inventories and three art performance tasks were administered to the population. Those with junior high art experience scored significantly higher on the art information inventory and art performance tasks than those without. The data support the positive effect of a junior high art experience on beginning high school art students.

Conceptualizing entrepreneurship in music: A project-based view of entrepreneurship in high art music performance

Crookes, Deborah January 2008 (has links)
<p>The concept of entrepreneurship in research and society has been firmly rooted in the realm of economics and business. This narrow focus excludes a large number of entrepreneurial acts that occur outside of economic contexts. The discipline of high art music performance is rich with innovative acts that challenge the boundaries of conventional practices. However, these acts largely go unnoticed because of the strength of the bond between entrepreneurship and economics. In this research paper, a literature review will be used to examine how entrepreneurship can best be conceptualized in the discipline of high art music performance. It is argued here that a project-based view of entrepreneurship (Lindgren & Packendorff 2003) provides a valuable conceptualization to understand entrepreneurship in high art music performance. This conceptualization is then applied to three case studies of Canadian high art music performers. The case study uses the musicians' narrative accounts to provide illustrations of the project-based nature of entrepreneurship in music performance. It is hoped that the findings from this investigation provides further support for a project-based view of entrepreneurship and a starting ground to develop more effective tools to support and develop entrepreneurship in music through education and policy development.</p>

Supporting the arts : fact, fiction or ideal

Le Roux, Lizelle January 2013 (has links)
This study explores the possible contribution of art, specifically of classical music as high art, to the constitutional ideal of creating a society based on freedom and dignity. Although the government publically exhibits a keen interest in the arts there seems to be no constitutional right to art or duty to financially support it in any way. This results in a lack of urgency from government’s side to make good on undertakings to fund and financially assist the arts and consequently forces most western art forms into financial adversity. Art and entertainment differ inherently from each other and require different financial contributions from government. Hannah Arendt proposes a two-fold test to ascertain what constitutes high art and what amounts to ‘vulgamusik’ as suggested by Theodore Adorno. Where low art wallows in the ‘mundaneness’ of everyday life, high art offers a promise of longevity and of transformation with every encounter. Traditionally government support for high art is justified as contributing to an overall ‘upliftment’ of the general community, but as South Africa is already in the compromised position of not providing in the basic needs of its citizens funding for the arts needs to be re-visited. When exploring the nature of the fundamental rights to freedom and dignity it becomes apparent that the system of rights constitutes, similar to high art, a complex system and that exposure to complex systems will develop the imagination and a level of creativity when attempting to understand something of their intricate nature. In order to improve our perspective on what constitutes a better future an enhanced imagination is needed. The notion of complex systems and developing the imagination comes from an article by Mark Antaki and Paul Celliers and links with Arendt’s notion of understanding also the other with an ‘enlarged mentality’. It is through Drucilla Cornell’s concept of the imaginary domain as a space wherein one is constantly conceptualizing the ‘becoming’ of a better self, a better world and better future that the right to freedom and dignity can be realized. The encounter with high art makes it possible to integrate and ‘dream up’ that which seemed impossible into becoming a reality.

High-Low Art Distinction & Class: A Critique of Marxist Aesthetics

Donald J Perry (6617549) 10 June 2019 (has links)
The concept of high and low art have a very close relation to social class. There is a prevailing notion within developed countries that certain forms of art are more legitimate and deserving of respect than others due to their association with the upper class. This social aspect of art leads to the question of how art is used in society and whether it should be used in that way. Marxists’ deep interest in class have made their perspective particularly prominent concerning debate on the subject. Having such a deep interest in class, it is expected they have their own opinions on the role of class in art’s usage. Despite their immense influence on the subject, I find the Marxist perspective concerning class and art lacking. In this work, I will attempt to critique the Marxist position on the relation of art and class and attempt to provide a unique perspective on this subject. I will be examining art and class in terms of two questions. First, what is the relationship between class and art and how is art used by social classes? Second, what should the relationship between art and class be and how should art be treated in society? I will first examine the Marxist position through Theodor Adorno and Hebert Marcuse, present Bourdieu’s sociological findings on the subject, and present thinkers outside of the Marxist position while building my position in contrast to these thinkers.<br>

YouTube Instruction on Ceramic Techniques In the Middle School Art Classroom

January 2013 (has links)
abstract: ABSTRACT Art educators use a variety of teaching and demonstration methods to convey information to students. With the emergence of digital technology, the standard methods of demonstration are changing. Art demonstrations are now being recorded and shared via the internet through video sharing websites such as YouTube. Little research has been conducted on the effectiveness of video demonstration versus the standard teacher-centered demonstration. This study focused on two different demonstration methods for the same clay sculpture project, with two separate groups of students. The control group received regular teacher-centered demonstration for instruction. The experimental group received a series of YouTube videos for demonstration. Quantitative data include scores of clay sculptures using a four-point scale in three separate categories based on construction abilities. Qualitative data include responses to pre and post-questionnaires along with classroom observations. The data is analyzed to look at the difference, if any, between YouTube instruction and regular teacher-centered instruction on middle school students' ceramic construction abilities. Findings suggest that while the YouTube video method of demonstration appeared to have a slightly greater effect on student construction abilities. Although, both instruction methods proved to be beneficial. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Art 2013

A cerâmica artística: interfaces na contemporaneidade / The artistic ceramics: interfaces in contemporaneity

Sato, Sandra Minae 15 April 2016 (has links)
Uma das mais antigas matérias-primas utilizadas pelo homem, a cerâmica vive hoje uma das mais importantes revoluções conceituais de sua história. Como expressão artística, a cerâmica tem atravessado séculos sob o estigma de \"arte menor\" e refugiada no que o pesquisador Garth Clark denomina \"fortaleza cerâmica\", recorrendo a um gueto artístico construído com seus próprios veículos de comunicação, espaços expositivos e eventos. Esta pesquisa investiga quais foram os ecos desta condição marginal que conformaram a cerâmica tal como ela se apresenta na atualidade entre as artes visuais e o design, em tempos de intenso desenvolvimento dos recursos tecnológicos disponíveis e da ideia da não-materialidade como forma de manifestação. O estudo revisa a trajetória de artistas que, a despeito das diferenças hierárquicas que segregaram o artista do artesão, atribuíram novos significados a essa que é uma das mais primitivas formas de expressão do sentimento humano. A partir da revisão histórica dos pensamentos, tanto a favor quanto contra, sobre a classificação das artes em \"maiores\" ou \"menores\"; \"belas artes\" ou \"artes aplicadas\", questionamos a necessidade desta categorização. Analisamos, ainda, como as especificidades da cerâmica a tornam representação legítima da arte pós-moderna, conforme a visão de teóricos como Charles Jencks, Stuart Hall, Arthur Danto, Zygmunt Bauman, entre outros, pela sua capacidade de se adaptar as novas linguagens e aos conceitos nos nossos dias. / One of the most ancient media employed by the human being, ceramics nowadays is passing through one of the most important conceptual revolutions of its history. As art expression, ceramics has crossing over centuries under the stigma of \"low art\" and it looked for refuge wherein researcher Garth Clark calls \"Fortress ceramica\", recurring to an artistic ghetto built with its own communication vehicles, exposition spaces and events. This research investigates which were the echoes of this marginal condition that shaped pottery as it stands today among the visual arts and design, in a time of intense development of technological resources available and of non-materiality concept as expression. We look over the path of artists who, despite of hierarchic differences that segregate artist from artisan, gave new meanings to this form of expression that is one of the most primitives in history of humanity. From the historic revision of theories, both against or pro, about classification in \"low art\" or \"high art\"; \"fine arts\" or \"applied arts\", we question the necessity of any categorization. The research analyzes also how the specificities of ceramics turns it as a legitimate representation of postmodern art, under the vision of theorists as Charles Jencks, Stuart Hall, Arthur Danto, Zygmunt Bauman, among others, by its capacity of adaptation to the new languages and to the nowadays concepts.

Print Making in the Junior High School

Harrison, Polly 06 1900 (has links)
The general purpose of this investigation is to examine the values of print making as compared with drawing and painting in their respective relationships as a part of the junior-high-school art program. The specific purposes of the investigation are: 1. To determine the values which are common to both the print-making arts and the drawing-painting arts. 2. To discover the values which are unique in the print-making arts. 3. To determine which of the print-making processes belong in the junior high school. 4. To recommend the grade placement and limitations of print-making for the junior high school. A conservative general conclusion, based upon objective evidence, can safely be drawn to the effect that in all phases of the learning experiences print making was found to be as valuable as painting and drawing. Its values were compared with respect to specific art development, to general educational growth, to socialization, and to character training.
