College Report

I feel like the requirements for this blog was based more on an art college, but I don't plan on going to college for art... instead I'm interested in going for a degree in Psychology.

The University of Kentucky

http://psychology.as.uky.edu/

above is the link to the Psychology department for the University of Kentucky.

Requirements for the class are of course an extensive amount of psychology classes, which you can find here. >>> http://psychology.as.uky.edu/psychology-major-requirements

A list of psychology courses offered that may not all be required are here. >>> http://psychology.as.uky.edu/psychology_courses

UK of course wants your test scores, either ACT or SAT. They require your high school transcript and an academic letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor.

Brief on an article related to your personal research;

http://roberta-goli.suite101.com/body-works-in-art-and-science-a119852

following the link above will take you to an article about a man name Gunther Von Hagan who is an anatomist that makes artwork from human corpses and an artist named Andrew Krasnow who uses donated human skin to create anything from lampshades to boots.

As much as I'm fascinated by the human body and anatomy... this really freaked me out. I respect Von Hagan for having the guts to make such artwork for what he says is scientific and education purposes. The fact that he can take such harsh criticism and hate from numerous people makes me really admire him.

I came across this looking for works of art relating to my personal interest, but this took it a little to far for my personal presence of art. I like this article more for the fact that it introduced me to this artist that isn't afraid to be daring and anger the general public to make artwork that he likes and for education... even though most people can't look past the "using dead bodies" to learn anything from the works.

Krasnow who made American flags from human skin to make a point... well works. It's very shocking and impacting on a person. Though it's not something I would ever choose to do with my artwork I do have it within myself to appreciate his artwork rather than criticize it for being "nasty."

Article Breif

Above is a website address to an article I came across while searching for "people who hate art", I suppose because I wanted to get myself ticked off.

The guy who wrote the article above is a portrait artist who is very into the realism and "only for looks" piece of art.

I feel like the author is stuck in a different era and isn't very open minded. To disagree with him, I believe that everything is art.... the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the computers we type on, and the cars that we drive. Everything was created and everything was once a thought in someone's mind that they turned into a wonderful creation.

He doesn't like art being used for political purposes... How else would you express your views? Commercials? ART. Music? ART. Advertising posters? OH WAIT, THATS ART TOO. People should use their voice in anyway they please and express themselves.

GET IN THE NOW, MAN. ART IS EVERYWHERE
