Chapter 6: What do we do with art? Pg 117- 126
Using Art
Why use art? Simple, people use art to add meaning and richness to their lives.
Two categories of art:
• Performance: Influenced by the “Happening” performance art consists of live action events staged as artworks.
• Display: A piece shown to the public
These two categories are not clear. Reason: Pieces such as masks that are used for performances can also be used as display pieces.
Keeping Art
Why do we keep art? Simple, people keep art because it is pleasurable, aesthetic and stimulating.
• Governments keep art because of political purposes and to increase commerce.
• Art can promote the glory of a nation.
• Art can promote subgroups within a nation. People maintain traditions in art to keep their identity and culture separate.
• Another part of a nation’s treasure is the art it seizes as booty. In other words, a nation treasures the art that it has stolen.
o Either they value that actual beauty of the art or o They value the material used in the art o Some nations take foreign art to intensify their own cultural treasures o Nations keep art because it attracts tourists. Monuments generate jobs and stimulate the economy.
Museums and Private Collections
• Art Collection: an accumulation of art objects that are publicly held are own by private individuals. • Museum: comes from the term mouseion. Mouseion refers to an institution that is like a university. Museum was resurrected in England to refer to a collection of paintings, sculptures, coins and natural objects. o Individuals in the 18th century joined the ranks of the noble as art collectors. o Many of these collections were private, but some were donated for personal fame and glory.
• Museums became common in Europe in the 19th century. o The intellectual climate behind collecting art was influenced by the Enlightenment and Romantic movements.
Enlightenment Movement: emphasized knowledge, reason and cultural achievement. Romantic Movement: fascination with the unknown, sensual and exotic.
o Capitalism encouraged museum growth since its emphasis was on ownership, control and possession. o Colonialism supported the spread of museums. Through colonizing foreign countries, they spread the idea of a museum to the rest of the world.
Four Types of Museums
1. National Museums: Large institution with collections in several areas. Because of their size, they are funded by the government, and a lot of the pieces are either purchased or donated private collections.
2. Art Museums: recent inventions. The first art museum in the U.S. was created in the 1800’s and it consisted of replicas of famous classical structures found in European collections. In the 20th century art museums encompassed painting, sculpture, prints and decorative arts. They can either be private, public institutions funded by tax or museums run by universities. Art museums display art merely for their appearance. They never include historical or political information.
Problem: The collections grow, and grow old.
3. Regional Museums: Serve the interests of that area’s cultural history. Regional museums seem to be more experimental because they serve local needs.
4. Museums and Technology: technology has created new categories such as computer generated art, video, and film to an extent. These have created two things:
• Media Museum: exists like the art museum to display artwork, but in a media museum it is all technology based. Problem: they need to store necessary hard and software. These also become obsolete. • Virtual Museum: Exists on the internet. Contain digital pictures of artwork. Cannot replace the traditional museum or the experience of looking at the actual art objects.

Authours: Schwartz, Peter Source: Commentary; Dec2005, Vol. 120 Issue 5, p20-20, 1/2p Document Type: Letter Subject Terms: LETTERS to the editor RAND, Ayn Abstract: A letter to the editor is presented in response to the article "Who Needs Ayn Rand?," by Algis Valiunas in the September 2005 issue. Full Text Word Count: 424 ISSN: 0010-2601 Accession Number: 18962490 Persistent link to this record: https://proxy.nvc.accd.edu/cgi-bin/ezpdbi_nvc.cgi?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=rlh&AN=18962490&site=ehost-live Database: Religion and Philosophy Collection Section: Letters from Readers TO THE EDITOR:
Algis Valiunas criticizes Ayn Rand's "unlimited faith in reason," complaining that "there are no mysteries in her world" ["Who Needs Ayn Rand?," September]. She certainly did hold reason as an absolute--except, of course, that one cannot do so on "faith," since the very concept of faith names a belief held in contrast to reason. Accordingly, she repudiated all forms of mysticism--from the subjectivism of the wanton emotionalist to the dogmatism of the fervent religionist. Mr. Valiunas suggests that Rand's philosophy--Objectivism--is impractical, that it is born of "girlish daydreams" and ends in "utopian fantasy." But which approach is actually disconnected from reality: one based strictly on reason and the world we perceive, or one based on blind faith and feelings?
To endorse reason is to endorse principles--unequivocal, unbending standards. Though Mr. Valiunas criticizes Rand's refusal to accept any watering down of what he concedes are her "fine ideas," Rand's opposition to compromise was … uncompromising. She held that man survives by using reason--not by using reason sometimes and unreason at other times.
In championing rational self-interest in ethics and laissez-faire capitalism in politics, Rand held that your life belongs entirely to you--not partly to your neighbor or partly to the state. Any attempt to compromise with one's moral opposite, she argued--any attempt to find some "middle ground" between reason and mysticism, between egoism and altruism, between capitalism and statism--can achieve only the advancement of evil.
Since Mr. Valiunas believes that one is not responsible for one's own moral character, he insists that human interactions should be governed not by justice but by compassion-that is, the acknowledgment and forgiveness of moral failings. Thus, he derogates Rand for making sweeping judgments of certain people as "looting lice" or "subhuman creatures." But how would he characterize such abject repudiators of reason as the Hurricane Katrina looters, or the creatures in Iraq who behead Americans to the gleeful chants of "Allahu akhbar," or, even worse, the subhuman intellectuals who try to justify such irrationality? The one point on which Mr. Valiunas is completely correct is that Rand would indeed regard compassion for them as "a triumph of sloppy feeling over lucid reason."
Rand's philosophy of Objectivism has had a vast cultural influence. On the centenary of her birth, she deserves to be celebrated by those who understand that the values on which man's life depend--science, technology, production, progress, capitalism--require, at their root, an unwavering dedication to reason.

Doubles on DDR and My New Brother <3! |

Well, Sunday Andeh and I went to Rocky J's. It was great fun : D We always go there to play DDR. I dont know why, but I really dont like playing DDR anywhere else. I guess I do know why >.> xD I dont like playing at CZ because everyone watches, and Elias is there. I DESPISE playing in front of him, because hes a billion times better than me, and like, Im intimidated of him. I mean, he's one of those types that like HAS to get a perfect on every step. I just like playing and making full combos : D I dont like playing at Diversions, because a lot of people watch, and I never get to play on the 'good pad' Like, I play with Elias only to like, make sure he doesnt observe me when I play alone, and when I do, he always wants the good pad TwT. Unfair.
Rocky J's... well the pads arent that great, but I really enjoy going there, only because the people that work there are great. : D They are nice, and I GUESS Im a regular thar. : D Anyways, Andeh and I go there to practice. He's a really good player. : D Im scared hes going to get better than me, to tell you the truth TwT. OH! Another reason I cant play DDR at CZ, is because there is an INSANE amount of dust in the arcade, and I dont want to HAVE to use my inhaler. At Rocky J's there are smokers, but like >.> I guess Im used to that sort of thing D :
Yeah, Andeh and I were taking turns with each song and stuffies, just like we ALWAYS do, and like, I wanted to try double. : D OMG It was so fun! I loved it. I ended up playing DDR for ABOUT 3.5 hours. I was dripping sweat : D Tee hee.
OH YAH! I adopted Andeh and made him my older brother, because I love him so much xD TwT. I dont know if he wants to fill that position, but he has no choice!
