This article is greatly informative. I knew nothing about Sally Mann until now and I want to know more. Especially in the United States, nudity is often looked down upon. It seems that Mann’s art has been breaking barriers and the best art not only contains an easily disputed meaning but also invites change or action. Lovely photos and a great article. | The Controversial Art of Sally Mann |
It is possible to teach a person to write; however, it is not possible to teach someone to be a writer. With guidance, we are able to write at a young age. It is easy to create the lines or curvatures of letters with a pencil or type out letters to create words. Yet, to be a writer, a natural sense of interest is necessary. A writer has the ability to make others want to know more about whatever it is they choose to write about. I must disagree that anyone who enjoys learning is a writer. Yes, a writer must always be seeking knowledge in new subjects and love learning, but they must also possess the ability to intrigue the interests of others in any new subject matter as well. | Can you Teach Someone how to Become a Writer? |
Art is meant to be viewed in many different perspectives. No one work of art will be viewed the same by another person. Video games, while often depicting alternate universes, are meant to be seen the same by mass amounts of people so as to bring players together. Art may bring people together but not because they are playing in the same piece but because they can enjoy their differences. It is a very interesting argument and this is a great article. I, however, feel that video games could be considered art as long as it stays in its own category. Just as film, photography, and paintings are separate categories, why should video games be given special treatment?
