Art Research Proposals Samples For Students

The topic of my experimental study is “Pragmatics of the English fiction and the pragmatics problems of its translation”. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to better identify and comprehensively study the pragmatics of the artistic text and pragmatic problems of its translation. Pragmatic approach to the study of language phenomena contributes to the disclosure of the communicative purpose of a linguistic unit, its use as an instrument of the addressee action, influence and interaction, its correlation with the behavior and activities of the sender.

The Prophet’s Mosque

Two categories describe the distinctive visual elements of Islamic art/architecture as decorated surface and structural shape. Understanding these characteristics of Islamic art/architecture proves a historical journey of the second holy mosque built next to the Prophet Muhammad’s home in Medinah in the 5th century 622 C.E. (Araffin 2005). The evolution of mosques from the humble rendering of the first erected with the Prophet’s own hands to the geometric patterned, repetitive designed, and calligraphy domed places of prayer and worship found in the Islamic world today is a testament to the faith in God of all Muslims globally. The ensuing ...

Introduction

Tracing back to the 4th century BCE, emotion in art was highly valued and praised by illustrious people such as Aristotle, the Greek philosopher. During romanticism and expressionism, free expression of own emotions became a rule among most artists. Turning to the modern art, individual emotions, as point of the existence of human beings, are generally considered the breath of art creation. Among most, if not all, students of art, it is popular to follow their true and real feelings to work. However, by doing this, they are apt to produce some strange creative works with a prejudice, which can be ...

The dark ages in the European history could be attributed mostly to having made no worthwhile positive contribution to the development of the continent. It was a period that was characterized by stories of stagnated growth in the educational, cultural, as well as the artistic cultures of the time. Like the era was referred later on in history, it was an era most people do not want to say was part of their history. The dark ages were a period that is accepted to have begun with the fall of the Roman Empire and lasted until the advent of the new ...

Facts and History

The Hagia Sophia is a structure in Istanbul, Turkey. The current rendition of the structure was built between 532 and 537 AD, although the site existed as a cathedral for some time before the current structure was erected. Historical records indicate that the structure was commissioned by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, who wanted the site to be home to an Orthodox patriarchal basilica. When the previous cathedral was destroyed by rioters, Justinian employed a physicist and a mathematician-- Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles, respectively-- to design the Hagia Sophia.
Initially designed as an Orthodox patriarchal basilica, the basilica was initially ...

Introduction:

I selected three works from the Google Arts Project which are known to be classics of their genre as my exhibits for the museum. One is a famous sculpture and the other two are equally famous paintings. The first one is Bernini’s David, a sculpture of incredible beauty with various aesthetic aspects that are original and very direct. The second is The Conversion of St John by Caravaggio, probably one of the finest examples of painting in the chiaroscuro theme and which reveals incredible and intrinsic beauty. Finally I chose Rembrandt’s ‘David and Bathsheba’, probably another of the finest ...

International relations concerns relationships between countries or states. The relationships also concern Inter-governmental, International nongovernmental (INGO) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) (Buzan & Little 8). International relations encompass state relationships in trade and economics, politics, social-cultural activities such as sports among others. The history of international relations can be traced from thousands of years. Political scientists, Little and Buzan, considered interactions among ancient Sumerian cities in 3,500 BC as a fully-established international system (9).

The history of international relations considering countries can be traced to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 which ended the “thirty years of war”. The “peace of ...

The tradition of arts and crafts in Africa dates back thousands of years and is still strong today. African arts and crafts commonly encompass mediums of woodcarvings, brass and leather. Wood is particularly popular among many African artists as it is versatile and easy to obtain. Also familiar outlets are sculpture, paintings, pottery and ceremonial and religious headgear and dress. African masks, for example, are part of ancient history and are important to many cultures, particularly in West Africa.

In the majority of African art certain culturally significant themes appear. Popular examples include a woman with a child, a couple, a man with an ...

The contemporary art itself means an art that has been created in the post- WWII period. It appeared after the modern art, which started emerging in the pre-war cubist painting as a way of silencing the hostility (Kraus). However, it has come through a hard process of its establishing, starting from the 1900ies and this process continues till nowadays. The contemporary art may be defined as a philosophical art, which has no shape, which has no rules. It is a type of art, which asks – “What is art?”; however, it still remains as a self-defying kind of art. (Dumbadze, ...

Introduction

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that focuses on the acceptance of imperfection and impermanence in the w0rld. Wabi and Sabi are two key concepts of Japanese aesthetic that look at beauty as imperfect and incomplete. The idea behind wabi-sabi is to accept things as they are and recognize the aesthetics in their imperfection (Martin 2007, p. 15). The fundamental nature of Wabi-sabi is passing of time. It is the process and not the final product and focuses on things that are often overlooked. Modernist reductionism strips down art to its basic essential ...

Abstract

Reality is a powerful source of inspiration for writers in the 20th century. For Raymond Carver the American reality of the working class served as the main source of inspiration for his short stories that fall into the dirty – realism literary style. A technique that is representative for this current and that Carver subtly masters in his short stories is the insertion of objects into the narration, attributing them the value of reflecting the reality through familiar descriptions of the working class American society’s lifestyle. In Carver’s narration the objects tell stories, unite people in the same universe ...

Tax Research Project 2

Introduction:
In 1976, Congress amended the tax law to include Section 280A (Lawyer, 1985) in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress’ reason for the amendment was due to concerns that people were renting out their vacation homes so that they could deduct personal expenses that would not, under normal circumstances, be deductible (Lawyer, 1985). Section 280A required vacation home owners to assign expenses connected with the vacation home either to personal use or rental use. Congress apparently hoped that Section 280A would limit or control the business deductibles for expenses sustained on a vacation home during the tax year when ...

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

Games that are created for purposes other than entertainment are called serious games. The art of applying games on a day to day actions is known as gamification. The gaming elements in serious games can be utilized to simulate reality in teaching and training environments (Crookall 2010, p. 898). Deep learning is a new approach to education and disregards the traditional method where the teacher was the all-knowing authority who passed down facts to the students (Fullan and Langworthy 2014). The traditional method did not view the learning environment as a factor that could affect the learning process. Adult ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a virus that weakens the immune system in humans. This is accomplished as the virus attacks the cells that fight infection and diseases. As a virus, it is similar in nature to other viruses, such as the flu. Unlike other viruses, however, the symptoms associated with HIV do not improve over time as HIV reproduces by systematically overtaking the cells within the host body. HIV does not heal and once an individual is infected, that individual will live the remainder of their life with this virus (aids.gov, n.d.).
