  3. Art should be kept in a museum/ Art should be auctioned off

    There are a several steps to make artist feels happiness of his art. Everybody can be artist, but some of artists can’t find reasons to keep going. If the artist feels he will fail because he doesn't get an appropriate support, he will stop and feels a disappointment. Because he can't invest his art for the rest of his life. For this reason the government and people should support the artists in any art.

    Firstly, art should be kept in a museum. Every artist's dream become a famous artist and makes the people see his artists. This will not be achieved except if there are places to keep artists arts like a museum. Also managers museums should leave the people show them their arts. If they do it maybe some of museum visitors see this art and he wants to support the owner of this art.

    Secondly, art should be auctioned off. I guess this reason make a lot of artists keep going in their arts. If the artist sees his art at auction and all people raise price for his art he will be proud and he will try to do the best in his next art. As we know not any art should be at auction, they take the amazing arts and they know if someone will buy it or not. Also if your art be at auction that means you are a famous artist. And you will receive a lot of offers and requests to do more arts.

    Also the artist innovates if he knows that his art is priceless. Actually, it doesn't mean art should be in museum or be at auction only. We should teach them how to use the art from a young age, because if he grows up he should love his skill. Also it should be a classes or institutes to improve them how to use their skills. And the parents should help their sons or daughters in their arts.

    We must not leave the artists put their art in the wrong places. We supposed to provide them everything they need to continue. And we shouldn't mock of them. Everyone needs a chance to improve his self. And maybe their arts can help our community even something as simple like a smile. Everyone knows that everything around the world is art if they use it well.

  4. Art is valuable
    Recently, the people are diversification in the life. So, we have touched a great amount of Art. But now, a controversial topic is appearing, some people think that the Art is useless and waste the money and energy, they think Art is not valuable. But I think Art us value. Art help us to feeling the life and enjoying the literature, history, and some other different experience.


    When talk about art we always think about spirit, connotation and something difficult understand, and know some of Artwork is very expensive. So, some people feeling the art is not good things, it just belong the rich person and some government. I think this view is not correct, those is only some of Art, Art is very close our life. In our life, the building structure, photograph, music and something else all are Art, We can feel Art in life and anywhere. I think it is normal things in our life, but Art make us know something use different way, I like this way.


    Art through simple thing make us feel magical and inconceivable. Now, many parents want them children touch painting, musical instrument, and go to museum with them children. Why do they do it? In order to develop them children’s experience and widen them vision. Children prefer us this way absorb knowledge than learn in book. Making children have more creative. Deferent type of Art have shown the different experience to us. History art is important evidence showing the technology in that time, and make us know more about our ancestor. Feeling the music and watch some painting can help people find Inspiration.


    Not only that, Recently, Art is becoming an essential industry around the world. People pay attention to the Art protection and use Art creating wealth. Book store, Art gallery, and museum all are good example, those not only show the useful message for us but also creat many wealth to help a large number of people who need help. Art is also a Philanthropist.


    By analyzing those thing about Art. We can find the benefit of Art. Creating wealth, train children have good creative, and help people feel and enjoy the wonderful thing. But I think the most important is making us learn lots of useful thing. So I think Art is valuable.

    1. It is interesting you mention that art might increase creativity in children. I would argue that art might increase creativity in adults too. I once taught English through photography at a museum and I realized that many students could have taken the class just to practice English and take pictures.

  5. Art is Valuable or Not Valuable

    Art is valuable or not valuable. Recently, there has been a controversial topic debated by my group about Art is valuable or not and why Art is valuable or not. In my opinion, I still regard art is valuable. Some may find art is not helpful, if we want to survive as a country and is not conducive to the development of science and technology. But I think art is good for thought, art can also be relaxed and happy people.

    Firstly, I searched some information on the Internet which about art is not helpful. For instance, there were many wars in ancient China. The dynasties had changed many times. Such as Song dynasty was good at art. Song poetry is the one most famous in the world. We studied song poetry in each grade. Song dynasty had a lot of famous paintings and songs. They also had a lot of great buildings and artists. There were rich and looked like strong. But they lost their country. The Mongol nationality and Song dynasty had wars for many years. The Mongol nationality had no more civilization. They had no art. They were living on horseback and had just tents. They weren’t good at art, but they were good at war. So they won the war and survive. That’s way they thought art is not valuable.

    Admittedly, there is art everywhere in art and there is life everywhere in art. If art is not valuable, why we are still insisting on the artistic? I’d like to think that art can be relaxed, happy people, enrich your mind and help you find your way. For example, art isn’t creature comforts and can’t satisfy the appetite. Art let you enjoy the spirit and makes you happy. If you are hungry, food makes you happy. if you aren’t hungry, food can’t make you happy. But art can make you happy whatever you are rich, poor, hungry, beautiful and ugly. You did a lot to make you happy, but you usually filled sad when you did a lot. But the right art makes you happy every time. It’s good for us to relax, calm and then do the work better. You also can make art which you like, it’s make you happy too. This is the first reason, art is valuable

    Therefore, art is good for us to relax, calm and then do the work better. So I think art good for work. We can't waste all the time on work, we may get tired and restless with work. In this time, art is the best choice for us. Art is valuable for social and scientific except it’s excessive. This is the second reason, art is valuable.

    All in all,even though there are lots of history said that art is not valuable. But art is surely good for our life. Money is valuable when you using it the correct way. Art is the same you have to using it the correct way. They are helpful whether you make yourself or artistic appreciation. That’s why I think art is valuable.

  6. IS ART VAUBLE OR NOT

    Some art have possitive messages that can help communities and societys in many ways and also
    have the pleasure of view and observation that one can admire beautiful art, Art that contain possitive messages for example commercial adds to quit smoking or drunk driving witch can affect
    communities and societys and can get the attention of a majority of people faster then any thing, in other words positive art messages have power of good change.


    Some art have negitive messages that can affect communities and society in the same way as the possitive did for example violent video games that affect are young pepole and urge them to be more aggressive or films that have smoking as a way for one to relax also drinking to be more popular and that is a big issue for are youth that has the opposite impact witch leads me to say the art of graffiti can sometimes contain negative messages like gang symbols that mark territory and much more ways that have power of bad change also.

    In my personal point of view about wether or not art is valuble depends on what is the art itself, if it has the positive message and can indeed change tourers good or perhaps it dose not have any message in the art but has the beauty of view and observation like landmarks and monuments. Art also has history recorded in it that can be useful in many ways to us.


    Art has the element of reaching pepole touching there hearts and moving them in other words a source of communication that contains emotions with meassages that can be affective to us as humans so we should never underestimate art, like everything in our lives if used in the correct way can be valuable also the opposite.

    1. Sultan, I liked that you gave some specific examples on how art can be detrimental.

  7. For long time ago, art history has been going with human history. Art has been showed in many different fields, such as picture, painting, novel, music, etc. ... all are the work of art. It's really valuable. However, due to the way we use and create, it can be unvalued thing. In my point of view, everything has two sides. I'll give more detail to prove that.

    First of all, we can't use the simple measuring to value the work of art. We have to use art criticism and art history to appreciate the story behind the work. But that is the job of professional valuator. People without experience can see the art is valuable too. Art makes the life more beautiful with many different ways base on the piece of art. It allows people dream about better life and include the massage that can't express by word. Always a picture means more than thousand words.

    On the other hand, art is not always valuable. Every fields in live has rules. If the rule is broken, the work will be waste thing. The song was made by many bad words, the painting was created in the wall of house without permission of landlord..., It’s not art. It's not beautiful, it's not useful. In totally, it destroys neighborhood and poison the youth.

    Nowadays, art is an important part of live. More and more people want to learn about art. It's been used as therapy to relax and reduce stress. It's easy to see how valuable art is. But, there is still waste work of art. Some people have just created art to please themselves. They don't care about what they do can make others unhappy. The Graffiti on the street can destroy the view of city. In somewhere, if Graffiti is allowed, it will make alive the boring thing.

    I personally love art. But i can't become an artist because I've not enough passion in this roll. Enjoying the work of art help me to have a definite look and keep balance in life. I'm sure that most of works are benefit, even though some things are not.

    1. Linh, it is nice that you connected the readings from the textbook and our first video to your assignment. Giving specific examples can make our argument stronger (and you did this with your view on graffiti). I also liked that you provided your perspective on the topic at the end.

  8. Any brief definition of art would be over simplify the matter, However some artist described the art as expression or application of human creative skill. On the other hand the art is work has been produced by skillful people , as we can see kinds of art where ever we go in our every day life , Our life is totally effected by different kind of art , Beautiful designed clothes , Well decorated structure ,And colored walls all of that can be kind of art, And we are surrounded by those kind of art . So the art is part of our life . Additionally every person consider the art in his own way and his own understanding.

    Art as work achieved by creative people should be ruled by some principle , Otherwise a very attracted piece of paint can be just visual pollution ,And lovely kind of music can be noise source . Making valuable art depends on how this art exhibited . Music as kind of art has great impact at our behavior , Sometimes it can help us to have some relax, And it can help us to sleep , Some studies proved that music has effective influence to young student’s behavior , Music here is just example and we can use the same parameters for any kind of art like painting poet , and photography .

    1. Mohamed, I think you can develop your essay more by expanding on some of the ideas you mentioned in your essay.

  9. Art is the expression of human creative skill and imagination. Since Stone Age human used and still using art , maybe now we have different type of art than Stone Age but art still art . It is an important thing in human life . How important is it ?! There is voices calling to make art class is required to all university student . But there is another voices against this idea .


    People who thing every university student should be required to take a class in The Arts believe this will help students to think different . After they take class in The Art every thing ordinary no matter how small or large will be elevated to a position of honor. They will mange to watch Life from another corner. Art will make them care about details shapes , colors and how it have been made . Which will make a great impact on their study journey . They will give full attention to every detail . Facing problem will not be big issue for them because they can see things from another corner .


    One of the important reason for who support that idea is to discover talented students . They believe there is students have talent in art but either they don't know about it or they know but they don't have the ability to develop it . So taking art class will be golden chance for talented students , because they will mange to discover their skills in art and develop it .


    In the another hand people who against that idea say that all university students are adults ,they know how to think they know what suitable and unsuitable for them . If they want to attend art class because it will benefit them they will do by their chose . So that the choice should be for them not for anyone else .


    In my opinion , university student shouldn't be required to take a class in The Art . Humans have the right to chose what they want . If someone heart is not in something he will not do it very well , that if he did anything .

  10. I think that your strongest argument is that art should be mandatory at the university level. Do you have additional arguments to bolster your point?

    Art improve critical thinking and analysis skill
    or
    Art does not improve critical thinking and analysis skill

    When we talk about the functions performed by art the opinions of the people are different. Some people believe that art stimulates the mind. It improves critical thinking and analysis skills. While other people think that art is just for decoration and that has no other function in cognitive development of man, only to beautify the space or environment. Others think that art satisfies both functions perfectly, because a work of art can stimulate the mind as well serve as a decorative piece.

    People, who think that art develops critical thinking, believe that when a person looks at a work of art has to think about what the author wants to transmit with these colors, with these forms. What ideas did the author? What did he want to express? What was the reason to do that work of art? What was thinking the author when make the artwork? Is this a reality or a dream? They explain that when we give answers to all these questions stimulate our minds, our imagination and we increase our critical thinking.

    Also, these people say that they have conducted researches in schools; they have shown that power art to curiosity, logical reasoning, sensitivity, spontaneity, imagination and creativity in children. They explain that the child who develops artistic activities is a creative person. He is one who is able to solve problems using the imagination. Art activities are as well associated with the originality, with the talent and genius.

    On the other hand, there are other people who do not believe that art stimulates critical thinking, they say: the activities that revolve around the truth are sciences and they are that stimulate critical thinking because they are seeking the truth through creativity. The arts and aesthetics are activities that resolve around the beauty. Therefore, the art just fulfills a decorative function.

    However, both positions are very interesting and complementary, I think that art contributes to the development of critical thinking, but it is also an activity that revolves around beauty, because through it allows us to enjoy the prettiness. In conclusion, I believe that art stimulates the imagination, creativity and logical reasoning of man, besides decorate or embellish their environments and make our life more pleasant.

  12. Some people think that art is valuable, and some people don't. Few people know the meaning of the value of art. Also many of them don't appreciate the meaning of art. What about the quality of the colors, materials used and why the artist created it ?. Several questions circulated by the community and have more than one answer.

    Art is valuable because art can make the artists famous and let them invent great paintings. Art provides inspiration to people. Its historic as people used to use art to express their feelings. As example, Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings. Another reason for the value of art is that artists use art to send a message to the audience.

    Imagine your home without paintings or arts. Colorful art gives houses life and doesn't make it dull. Artists choose the best quality of colors and materials to make great painting with high quality. We notice that in every country there is a different kind of art that represent there people. That's the meaning of valuable art.

    As I said some people think that art is not valuable, because they think it's a waste of time. People buy many materials to create some kind of art which happens to be useless and a waste of their money. These days with all the technology and development people are not inspired by art. So my point is that art is not valuable these days, because now it's the new generation and the new technology are attacking the children. On the other hand we should update art with new ideas to inspire kids these days.

    So my opinion is that we should thank the artists that made it something important in our life, because it makes us happy and makes us smile to think for new ideas in our regular life.
