Abstract
This essay gives the historical and social background of modern art, explains the general ways that modernist work can be seen as uniquely different from art that came before, and looks at two specific examples of modern art?s radically different approach. It clearly defines modern art and explains the foundations and philosophy behind art of the past hundred and fifty years.
From the Paper
"When defining and discussing modern art, it is first important to clarify exactly what the term means. Modern art refers primarily to painting, sculpture, and architecture created since the blossoming of technology and modern society. In broader historical thinking, the word modern refers to that time after the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery, however, the modern art movement is generally agreed to have been between the 1860s and 1970s. Like many discussions about art history, these dates are subjective. Painting, sculpture, and architecture from this period of history are called ?modern? or ?modernist.? For many art historians, modern art began with the work of Edward Manet. Manet was one of the first impressionists and modern artists, those who reacted to the very formal and rigid style of painting done inside studios and set by traditional institutions in the nineteenth century. Modernism ended with the start of what many refer to as ?post-modernism? in the 1960s and 1970s. This essay will give the historical and social background of modern art, explain the general ways that modernist work can be seen as uniquely different from art that came before, and look at two specific examples of modern art?s radically different approach to painting. When compared to Renaissance and other western ?traditional art? up to the late nineteenth century, it will be seen that modernism was a totally new paradigm for art."

Abstract
This paper will examine three general approaches in modern feminist art by three feminist artists. It will be argued that these feminists assume radically different perspectives with regard to their mediums and objectives. Under the general categories of "the Body Politic" (feminism and politics), "the Body Social" (representations of the human body as a site of conflicting social values) and "Decoration vs. Abstraction" (hierarchical double standards with regard to "male" abstraction and "female" decorative arts), it will be shown how these differences in part reflect the shifting phases of modern feminist art, but more importantly signify the diverse multiplicity of modern feminist art.

Primitivism in Modern Art, 2004.
Explores the influence that primitive art has had on modern art.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes how modern art appropriated images from so called "primitive" cultures and describes the social changes that prompted this attraction to primitive art forms. The paper also discusses some of Picasso's works and notes how these works were influenced by African culture and art.
From the Paper
"A central facet of modernist art was the questioning of and dissatisfaction with the traditional views of life and art, and the concomitant rejection of established standards in the search for the new and different. Social factors such as the First World War also lent impetus to this search for alternative views of reality that was expressed in modernist art. In their search for alternative styles and means of expression, artists were attracted to the unusual and exotic. African art was one of the areas that supplied images and artistic energy that inspired many artists of the time. Artists like Picasso and Gauguin found formal ideas and images in the so-called primitive societies that resonated with energy and a new artistic rhythm."

Post-Modern Art and Artists, 2004.
This paper discusses the philosophy of art, especially post-modern art, and reviews the works of contemporary artists John Currin, Lucas Samaras, and others whose photographs are included in the ?Only Skin Deep? exhibit.

Abstract
This paper explains that artists of the postmodern tradition, including John Currin, Lucas Samaras, and the contributors to ?Only Skin Deep?, utilize the presentation of beauty, the process of identity, the heritage of earlier eras in their representations of reality, and the label of postmodern through the auspices of critical questioning. The author points out that Lucas Samaras is a modern artist, utilizing the technology of the age in his art to produce a chaotic effect reminiscent of the surrealists and Dadaists. The paper relates that the paintings of John Currin are satire, seeing something from another perspective, sometimes inside-out and cynically, sometimes through the looking glass of humor, which often mocks social conventions, beliefs, and traditions.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Samaras also incorporates the use of fetishes, or aesthetic objects as props. Because the aesthetic object is defined through the shared social definition, the importance of the fetish increases as the scope of its communicability widens. He incorporates mixed media box constructions and the discards of normal life such as a carving set to present his images of self. He adds to these boxes the accouterments of embellishment -?yarn, pins, paint, fake jewels, mirrors and rocks. The audience is compelled to ask, ?What it all means and what, if anything, does it say about the modern self?? He dwells not so much in the postmodern state of criticism as the modern presentation of questioning the future."

Abstract

From the Paper
"The purpose of this essay is to discuss the action painters in the context of modern art. Rosenberg talks about the difference between modern art and traditional art and identifies modern art as incorporating the social conditions and experiences of artists and their subject; the reproduction of life in this case is an abstract concept and is expressed through action or the experience of what happens when the experience, feelings and creativity flow through the artist and the...."

Abstract
This is a comparison/contrast essay discussing several works from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Two representational works are analyzed - Gustav Klimt?s "Hope II" and Pablo Picasso?s "Girl Before a Mirror". Two abstract works compared and contrasted are Jackson Pollock?s "Full Fathom Five" and Mondrain?s "Broadway Boogie-Woogie". Finally, two sculptural works are compared and contrasted - Rodin?s "Monument to Balzac" and Boccioni?s "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space". A thorough discussion of applicable artistic elements is offered in the paper.
From the Paper
"In observation of Picasso?s Girl Before a Mirror (Marie-Th?r?se Walter) one is struck by an obvious statement being made. The theme of his painting is reflection and seeing beyond what is on the surface. The lines of the bodies are flowing and erotic. The background is geometric and regular except for the startling bright colors. The woman is defined by her sexual components which are exaggerated in bulbous breasts and enlarged wombs. The style is cubism expanded with elements of surrealism infused with color that seems meant to surprise and shock. The use of the reflected image encourages thoughts of how form can change and calls forth questions regarding what constitutes beauty. Depicting female form constructed from circles and lines is in accord with the aims of analytic cubism which stressed the breaking down and analysis of form. The overall effect is more sensual than serious. Questions of inner beauty versus outer beauty may be suggested. The curving lines, bright colors, and rounded erotic shapes suggest harmony and pleasure, reflecting Picasso's delight with his newest love, Marie Th?r?se Walter."

The Grid and the Line in Modern Art, 2002.
This paper discusses the role and meaning of the grid and the line in abstract paintings.
1,870 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the innovation of the grid as an enduring motif in modern art and its offshoot, the straight-line, opened up a relatively unprecedented mode of expression for modern abstract artists. This paper explores the philosophy and work of Piet Mondrian and other artists of the Neo-Plasticism movement. The author points out that, for Mondrian, the grid was not simply a structural mechanism but an organic solution to the Modernist preoccupation with mind/matter dualism. Examples of Mondrian's works in color included.
From the Paper
"The grid is clearly the perfect artistic means by which to affect this ?liberation?, as it provides a structure predicated on an inherent and infinite formlessness. Its strict horizontal and vertical axes proved an excellent format for the controlled interaction of pure, primary planes of colour, and functioned as an independent, artistically alive (plastic) organism in which ??everything counterbalances everything else.?

Artists discussed include Joe-Peter Witkin, Roy Ascott, and Dinos and Jake Chapman.
From the Paper
"The social impact of the new art-technology relationship is quite simply due to knowledge being more plentiful than at any other time in recorded history. To further expand on that element it must be understood that the application of knowledge, as well as man?s integration with knowledge, has not at any time in history been so cohesive with each other. This is due to the global society now established in the world which is aided by the science of computing which brings all knowledge, all applications and all the minds of men together in one vast conglomerate freeway of information."

Abstract
With the developments in technology, the connection between art and technology came faster than ever. This paper explores how the invention of photography affected the relationship between art and technology in the history of art. It includes genres like Impressionism, Modernism, and Dadaism, and also talks about very important figures of art history, such as Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cezanne.
From the Paper
"The first major modern technological advance that began to change the face of art was photography. Photography was invented by the French painter Louis Daguerre in 1837 and was immediately met with opposition from many in the art world. Artists had long struggled trying to capture a realistic portrait of the world around them. Now with photography, science had succeeded marvelously. Thus, the photograph introduced an era of mechanical reproducibility which challenged the accepted paradigm of artistic genius: the concept of a work of art as a unique image created by hand by a trained artist. Photography slowly began taking the jobs earlier filled by artists. It proved to be a faster and less expensive way to accurately portray the world; therefore, photography was used to take pictures of buildings and portraits where earlier an artist would have been commissioned (Wolter-Abele, 1)."

Technology and Language Arts, 2007.
This paper is a meta-review of the literature about the use of technology in the teaching of language arts.

Abstract
This paper explains that language arts can benefit from the use of technology when teachers incorporate it into their daily instruction for such uses as providing study guides, quizzing students, enhancing the subject, supporting individual students and involving parents with their children's learning. The author points out that the use of technology in the language arts department can be especially perilous or productive depending on the way it is used and the competence of the teacher using it because language arts is a more subjective academic subject than math or the sciences and is opened to more misinformation from the Internet. The paper concludes that the use of technology in teaching has been studied from many different angles in many different manners, but the focus has rarely been on the attitudes and beliefs held by English teachers in the use of technology in the classroom. The paper includes two illustrations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The meta-analysis also focuses on writing skills for students who do and do not use computers and word processors for their writing. It determined that students who learn to use word processing for their writing needs learn better writing skills than those who do not use word processing programs for their writing needs. In light of this, it is surprising to find so much resistance in the current educational field regarding the use of technology in teaching and specifically Language Arts."

Art and the Modern Era, 2002.
This paper talks about defining art as a historical narrative into the 21st century.
1,959 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces art history and its meaning. It then focuses on modern art and shows that with the introduction of technology, post modern art has broken many boundaries. The paper shows that, in a culture that is enveloped in technology, artists who are a direct reflection of their culture cannot stay away from entering the digital world of art. The paper touches on subjects such as creative advertising, computer animation and computer graphics.
From the Paper
"Art becomes significant because it is able to hold the power to express important things that would most likely remain unstated in any other form of communication. This force of expression is found in the supreme monuments of our time, the icons that represent greatness of modern art works that have been able to continue and triumph over the fashionable animosity that greeted their first appearance. Great art can stand-alone and directly speak to the on-looking viewer, in spite of how we or other writers may choose to explain it."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of kinetic art, motion in art, and its history. In addition, the author argues that the artists are responding to technology and continuing to evolve as they learn to use technology in their favor. The paper focuses on sculpture.
From the Paper
"While most of us love the look of a wind chime or the way a mobile twirls over the crib of a baby, we don?t understand that it is a form of artwork. When we think about art we usually think about paintings on canvas, a still photograph or other types of works. Rarely do we realize that anything that is created and has movement is also art, and it is called kinetic art. Kinetic art is not a new concept but it has enjoyed recent popularity as artists around the world are being put on display. Its history and its allure are no longer a mystery and we can enjoy the movement in the open today. Kinetic art can be defined by the term kinetic meaning related to or produced by motion."
