Arts & Crafts: The Same but Different.
[ send me this paper ]
( 10 pp.) No matter what the language that is assigned to the topic, the conundrum of "what is arts and what is crafts," seems to be philosophically cemented firmly in place. In the twenty first century we can say, that "most communications crafts begin as inventions and evolve slowly into art forms," yet does not the basic question stay the same? As a definition based society, we are instructionally led to believe that a difference can be distinguished, and we are up the proverbial art creek sans paddle, if one does not make its self known to us. With those thoughts in mind we shall proceed. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

In recent times, the desired coupling of these two otherwise unique entities has become even more of a focal point, inasmuch as the terrorist attacks of September 11th placed a significant monetary burden upon the entire arts industry.

Comparing Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper comparing and contrasting the works and politics of the artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol lived and worked basically at the same time from the 1920s to the 1980s. Beuys, who grew up fairly conservatively, served in the war and held an academic position, expressed a great deal of warmth and hope in his art works which was also reflected in his political and philosophical outlook on life. He believed that all humans were students of life and it was their obligation to use their creativity throughout their disciplines to integrate the ideals of all cultures. Throughout his lifetime he was the founder of several activist groups designed to allow for a more open-minded society. His convictions to freedom of education were often at his own expense as he sacrificed a great deal for his activism. Warhol was known as one of the most influential commercial and pop culture artists of his time. His outlook on life and the human race was somewhat more grim than Beuys’ however as he believed that modern culture should and does act like a machine. He stressed that he was superficial along with the rest of society and used his celebrity to further his career mostly in the art, film, music and television industries. He did however use some of his exhibitions to display some of what he considered to be disasters of the twentieth century but most of his activism was through his art and not through outward causes like Beuys. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
