Whenever you turn on your TV, you have to watch many commercials. Everyone understands that they are trying to make us like whatever product they advertise. In my opinion, politicians are like those products and try to advertise themselves.

The Value of Art
The Value of Art- Art & its perception What is the value of art? The value of art can help understand arts' diverseness, history, technicalities and terms. I will also explore the types of art programs that are funded, by reseaching the importance of art funding and how art has had an enormous impact on people since history began. The monetary value of works of art is closely tied to the business of art and from a business point of view art works are commodities to be bought and sold, some at a high end, for profit. But ultimately, it is interest of the audiences’ and their perception that will determine the success of a piece. Should tax dollars support art? Depicting the value of art will either convince you of its importance, or not; but it definitely effects even our tax dollars so this will even be of interest to an average joe that does not appreciate art as much. There are all types of art, literature, museums/visual arts, dance, musical theater, art education. The arts apply to the value of art and its inspiration and creativity of people all over the world. Art has been very controversial lately due to budget cuts, I would really like to learn the very importance of art and how people’s perception of art will ultimately affect art and its future with next generations.

MOST YOUNG KINGS GET THER HEAD CUT OFF
Jean-Michel Basquiat offers an image of nonrepresentational art named Charles the First, 1982. The essence of this piece and my reason for choosing to analyze it is Basquiat’s intent to communicate in this form of translation. That you may be able to link the relation among the words, images and objects; of Visual Art. The content leads to question the meaning of the images and symbols and the analysis of this essay will study how he connected with what was encoded in his art.
The abstract is in the content in Jean-Michel Basquiat’s oil painting named Charles the first.
History shows Charles I was King of England, King of Scotland, and King of Ireland from 1625 until his execution in 1649. The left top corner of the image “HALOES FIFTY NINE CENT” suggests martyrdom; a suffering of death “for sale”; placing a price for the crown, his head.

Humanity will never be done making art, ever. As soon as we find the most durable materials, making it last, the most efficient mediums for circulation, making it far reaching, or painting techniques, so that it can rival creation itself; we must start again. I wonder at our collective compulsion to make and experience art, considering this futility, but I do not question that the compulsion is there, and how it speaks, this compulsion, about our need to find community while we express and experience the divine.
I order to achieve a desired effect in art, you must sacrifice, allowing many, many things to go unexpressed. Other artists will become “spiritually bothered” by the vacuum that has been created by that which is unexpressed, and once again, will be enticed into inspiration. They will want to create new works that communicate something true, essential, universal. In the act of this creation, the artist begins the eventual materialization of their own transcendent insights,and began to entropy. It is mysterious and beautiful, this futility; forever thwarted, forever hungry and yet we all still strive for a renewal of understanding and expression.

iconography and symbols- Dana Kennamore
Jean Michel Basquiat us an artist that illustrated iconography and symbols to the fullest. He is first known for being the Graffiti King in New York. Also known as the Tag King.
the use of iconography and symbols are displayed as crowns, which as are symbols of success in African American Heroes. he used many heroic African Americans, such as jazz artists, famous negro athletes, and comic book heroes in his paintings as well.
the comic Bork symbols range from "S" standing for Superman, X-MN for X-Man, and the Norse god Thor. in his eyes these were all kings. the comic book heroes are all created by Marvel Comics.
He goes into more iconography, with the African American hero, Charlie Parker, who is a jazz artist. Charlie Parker also saw himself as a "Charles the First", he referenced himself in the same status as the England King Charles I. he was beheaded in 1646 by Protestants in the English Civil War. Also, Parker's song "Cherokee" in the third panel of "Charles the First", evoked the four feathers above "Cherokee", in that panel. The feathers in this piece represents violence. the terms "tar and feathering".
Basquiat uses the symbol"S" not just for Superman, but an iconographic sign: if it has a line through it or crossed out, suggests dollars. he also uses the copyright sign in most of his paintings, he states this is a symbol of ownership ans exercise of property rights. This also is a sign of control in American society. Basquiat sees that as the rights and control in this America as the root for the institution of slavery.
Reading and looking at Jean-Michel Basquiat works of art, he really expresses his thought s and emotions in his work. in my opinion he uses iconography and symbols to tell very clear stories about history and individual lives that some people had left out or did not want it told.
The legends and great people in history have influenced and made his work some wonderful pieces. these pieces touch on many issues that have and still plague society today. As Basquiat states about his work " Royalty, heroism and the streets", when asked by Henry Geldzahkler.

Beauty and Perception - Dwan Thompson Analytical Esaay, (re-done)
When we look at other people, animals, or objects everyone looks at them differently. We let our eyes and emotions take control and sometimes things are perceived differently than others. Our past experiences and places we have been dictates how we would feel about certain things. Things that are beautiful cannot always be seen as beautiful to all people because everyone looks at things in different manners. This is why I chose to look at perception and beauty together to analyze how they are both defined.(Image 1)
