What is Art

This page features the art work of the The Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. I do not believe that Michelangelo created this blog post displaying his art. I think that this guy just wanted to post some examples of classics.
"There are images that pervade our society, shape it, change it, and make us ask that most basic of questions: what is art?

Now, you may not like all of these objects. It doesn’t matter. What is important is that they are important to society, to the history of communication and culture. It’s a good start."

This guy claims that The Sistene Chapels is one of the pillars of art in the world. A work of art is anything that makes society or people, changed or shaped. Well Michelangelo created this art mostly based on the bible. It is all over the vatican and is a temple to many worshipers of roman chalothic chruch. The guy who posted it is kinda lame because he chose to display something that almost everyone agrees is art. It would be much more interestiing to post something that is more challengeable to the question what is art. I do believe that this art piece is effectivly discussing art. It is art because it has stood the test of time. Art like this last because it is good. Bad shit nobody keeps around for very long

This art piece evokes emotions. It shows hella loneliness for this
people eating some food at a late night diner. It is pretty
prototipical for people in the city. You are all in it alone. No
sense of community. It does form communication between the artist and
me. He is showing a piece and it makes me tink about life in an urban
environment. It does reflect the time when it was made. The people
are all white. the dude behind the counter is whering white. the men
are in suits and are whering those bowler hats from the 40's. Also
the women is all done up to have white face and vibrant hair and
close. Shows some tech skills that this guy knows how to paint a
picture. The lines go. I especially like the colors in side the
diner. Bright inside and cold and dark outside.

In the bay area the rap music is very different. It has many names
such as hyphy but mostly it is all electronically produced. I enjoy
listening to a lot of the music but I am slow to calling the music art
or the creators' artist. When I think of music that is art I always
figure that the artist are the ones to create the sounds. Like a
drummer beat on a drum, or someone playing a piano. Today's latest
popular rap music is synthesized and the beats are computer generated.
What I love about rap music in the 1990's is the samples they use are
pieces from instruments that people created. In my mind it makes the
music much more artistic. Also some members of the rap community make
music themselves and rap over it like the roots and the beastie boys,
both are bands that decided to become rappers.
Also much of the music in the bay area is only produced from a few
people and they sell out their beats to other rappers. The music ends
up sounding much the same. I am saying that a type of music that is
over copying each other and is created by processing machines is not
artwork.

blog #1:What is a blog?

Honestly I thought that this article was dry and I had trouble being able to take anything away from it.  Something that stood out was that Tim Jarrett thinks that blogs will revolutionize the world.  He believes that this will change the way people write articles, publish papers, and teach in the classroom.  Jarrett says that blogs are personally published documents on the web, with attribution and date, collected in a single place, generally published with a static structure to facilitate incoming links from other sources, and updated with some regularity and frequency from every few days to several times a day.  On a blog you can keep all of a persons work in one place and see how that persons ideas have change.  You can't do that on  website.

Blogs may give people empowerment because it may give them a chance to post a magazine article of their own without being a journalist.  Through blogging you are able to develop a mentor tutor relationships over the web that you would not have discovered otherwise
