Abstract
This paper discusses the complicated issue of the preservation of tribal artwork. It discusses whose responsibility it is to preserve the artwork. It then discusses how indigenous people can be compensated for preservation efforts, or if they should be compensated at all. Finally, the paper concludes that the preservation of tribal art may be misguided attempts to control and manipulate cultural productions by removing artistic productions out of their cultural context and turning them into products that can be consumed by Western audiences.
From the Paper
"But let's imagine that there exists an institutional framework or bureaucratic organization with the resources to undertake such a monumental task of artistic identification. There would still be additional problems to consider. In Indonesia, for instance, there are numerous political and cultural obstacles facing the emerging push for preservation. Communication in the nation is lackluster. Identifying and controlling all potential tribal art among the indigenous people is a task best left to the imagination. The infrastructure simply does not yet exist to properly compensate indigenous artists and craftsmen, let alone stem the tide of black-market deals and random destruction. Yet this is exactly the circumstances in which we hope to be able to control and manage the preservation of indigenous artwork."

Abstract
This paper examines the feminist perspective in art and discusses if it is portrayed in the early 17th century Baroque and late 17th century Rococo art. It suggests that there is a lack of the feminist perspective during these time periods. The paper explains why this is the case by discussing the time period, as well as the emerging artists of the two time periods.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Baroque in the Context of Time
Emerging Artists
The Later Period of Rococo
Conclusion
From the Paper
"That the depictions of the Madonna from the earlier period of the 17th century show the Madonna receiving the blessing of Christ, or bathed in the light of the divine is in keeping with the tradition and doctrine of the Catholic Church. There is nothing suggestive as to the femininity of the depiction other than that of the Madonna being the Immaculate Conception. It does not in these works of art raise her above the masculine hierarchal order of the Church, but rather as the image of what the Church perceives as the role for women; the nurturers, the mothers who give birth to divine greatness, the temptress, the redeemable soul, and she who surrenders herself to the passion of the divine spirit. This is in keeping with the representations of women in the Bible stories, and it is the Bible stories that serve as the inspiration for many of the works of art of the 17th century as a whole."

Abstract
This paper discusses the difference between art and culture, especially when it appears on the Internet. It then describes how the Internet has changed the creation, dissemination and selling of art and culture. Additionally, the paper discusses the level of success that artists can achieve when trying to sell their art over the Internet and explains why there may be a difference between selling online and selling through a gallery.
From the Paper
"Selling Art on the Internet, by Marques Vickers, a California artist, describes how the artist can mount their own website (after learning website design), generate traffic to their website and cultivate media exposure. The "pay for clicks" describes how, if an artist has more visitors to their website, they pay for it to "agent companies" who generate visitors to their specific site. There are also merchant affiliate programs, self-publishing virtual and portfolio galleries. The author talks about auction sites, as well, the most popular way for an artist to get their work on the web. Directed toward the individual artist, the author believes that the Internet is the way that artwork will be distributed in the future. Though nothing is as good as seeing the actual work on display, artwork can actually be enhanced to look better than it actually does, if one knows how to manipulate the programs that help put their work out there on the web."

Abstract
This paper discusses Sandro Botticelli, who was an important artist during the period of the Italian Renaissance. The paper discusses the history of Botticelli's works and his rise to fame. It looks at the styles that he used and the themes that he tended to paint (often religious). It then describes his recognition as a portraitist. Finally, the paper discusses some of the other artists that Botticelli worked with.
From the Paper
"Most of Botticelli's life was spent in Florence, at his workshop. However, during 1481 and 1482 he agreed to cooperate with Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Rosselli to paint frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. The themes that he chose were inspired by both the Old and the New Testament and were called: "The trials of Moses", "The temptation of Christ" and "The punishment of Korah, Dathan and Abiram". Initially, the painters were given the assignment to create sample frescoes which were to be evaluated. On the basis of the evaluation, they were to be employed or not. However, their talent was rapidly acknowledged and they were commissioned to continue the work without any other testing. The individual scenes constitute a whole because they comprise typological references to one another. They present Moses as prefiguring Christ. We must mention, however, that, only after Michelangelo's later work (1508-1512) did the Chapel become famous."

Abstract
This paper gives a detailed description and historic background of Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto's master-work "The Raising of Lazarus." The author highlights Tintoretto's life and career, pointing out his stylistic development. The paper then describes "The Raising of Lazarus" as the pinnacle of Tintoretto's career, commenting on the style, composition and iconography of the piece. The author concludes that "The Raising of Lazarus" has artistic value centuries later and is well worth a thorough evaluation by modern audiences.
From the Paper
"Tintoretto, who was born in 1519 and lived until 1594, was one of the most prolific painters of his time and place. His real name was Jacopo Robusti. He received his name as a painter, Tintoretto, from his father's profession of being a dyer (wga). Tintoretto's vivid use of color in his paintings may come from his father's occupation as well. Tintoretto lived and worked in Venice nearly his whole life where he was said to aggressively pursue artistic commissions. This did not make him popular with his fellow painters as he frequently undercut their prices. Although he may have made enemies among his peers, his business methods did make him a busy and successful artist. Since he frequently received commissions in his native city, many of his paintings can still be seen in the various churches and buildings for which they were originally painted (wga). "

Special Education and Art, 2007.
Describes the applications of art projects in teaching children with special educational needs.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the use of art to address the unique developmental issues facing students with special needs. The author describes the positive tactile and multi-sensory experiences that art projects give children. Practical guidelines for implementing these projects are presented for teachers. The paper gives the caveat that teachers must be aware of the students' physical limitations when developing an art project. The paper concludes with suggestions for group projects.
From the Paper
"When adapting art projects to suit the needs of such children it is important to realistically assess the class' varying levels of comprehension and attention spans, which may be more diverse than a traditional class. When presenting new materials it is important to show the materials to the students, verbally describe the materials that will be used over the course of the project, and how to use the materials. A brief introduction is necessary before embarking upon the project to minimize the potential student frustration that might be aroused by having to deploy novel and unfamiliar items. For children with developmental issues of combined cognitive and physical nature, encouraging the children to manipulate items during the explanation, either by the teacher's own hands, or the use of an aide, can overcome barriers of resistance or a lack of comprehension."

Abstract
This paper explores the work of Jackson Pollock, with an emphasis on his innovative style and its continued impact on contemporary art. The paper examines the world of art that came before Pollock during the middle years of the 20th century. Historical events, such as World War II, and their influence on art and thought are also discussed. The paper then describes the techniques Pollock used in applying paint to a canvass. Two of Pollocks works are highlighted and described. The first is entitled "Lucifer," and the other is "Blue Poles, Number 11," which is considered to stand out above all his others. The author concludes that Pollock's art has the uncanny ability to find order out of disorder.
From the Paper
"In order to understand and appreciate the world of Jackson Pollock and his amazing art, we must first explore the world of art that came before him during the middle years of the 20th century. Following the end of World War II in 1945 and the beginning of the "Atomic Age," there persisted a haunting dread among many Americans that life "had no meaning or value" which influenced a number of highly-successful artists to protest in paint against what they saw as a mechanized culture that did not tolerate individualism and non-conformity. At this time, a new artistic style emerged known as Expressionism which was harsher, more defiant and rebellious than any of its predecessors and "insisted on an even more radical abstraction from the world of reality."

This paper examines the artistic style of Kerry James Marshall.
1,356 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how much of Kerry James Marshall's art was influenced by his culture and the communities where he was raised. The paper explains how Birmingham, Alabama was the scene of massive civil rights marches led by Dr. Martin Luther King in 1963 and it was in these turbulent times that Marshall grew up. The paper discusses the social approach Kerry James Marshall takes towards his art and how he has attempted to take on the issue of negative representations of black people.
From the Paper
"He has a series of paintings and sculptures called "Souvenir" in which there are a series of stamps (similar to postage stamps) that have slogans on them like "Black Power!" This series is a tribute to the Civil Rights Movement; also in "Souvenir" there are middle-class living rooms with the ghosts of Dr. King, John Kennedy, and Bobby Kennedy (all who were assassinated) are like angels floating around the room, according to the PBS story. It's a surreal painting, but the meaning is very down to earth: many good people have died who supported equal justice for all."

"Now that we've seen the birth, growth and continuing trend of how Crayola Crayons have been component personal and national awareness, we can again walk down memory lane and trace the evolution of the various colors of Crayola Crayons. As we've seen in 1903 the birth of the eight colors, 1949 saw the addition of 40 colors to the repertoire with the colors flesh, turquoise blue, melon, maroon, mahogany, maize, periwinkle or thistle added, just to name a few. There were 16 colors added in 1958 with aquamarine, blue gray, burnt orange, cadet blue copper, forest green, goldenrod, Indian red, lavender, mulberry, navy blue, plum, raw sienna, raw umber, sepia, and sky blue as part of the collection."
