What are arts and humanities classes?

answers1: Sociology and Philosophy are social sciences. Humanities
and art courses would be literature, writing, music, art, etc.

Isn't upsetting to know Philosophy is listed as Arts & Humanities and not Science?

answers1: it is not the only one .I have found another. Astrology is
listed as Horoscopes and under the heading of entertainment and music
<br>
First of all it i a serious subject and is not meant for entertainment
answers2: It's listed where it should be...nothing upsetting about it.
answers3: As long as it's protected under free speech you shouldn't
worry. Philisophy is bound to humanity, it is the science of being
humane, so it goes either way on that account. Wait a minute this
question is paradoxical, or the people of yahoo don't know philosophy
is the science of being humane. Either way I just fried my brain on
paradoxical questioning. Other than that, no, I am not upset, it's got
a catagory and thats what matters most.
answers4: No its not upsetting.
answers5: It's in Humanities because it depends on humans just like
history or english,french and so on. If there wouldn't be humans there
wouldn't be any of the above listed, however mathematics, the laws of
physics do not depend on our existence.
answers6: it is still art
answers7: No its not upsetting. The acts of doing philosophy AND
science are both creative acts of the mind. It is our brilliant minds
that have been able to construct and formulate the ideas, theorems and
accounts of the world around us. Philosophy is probably the broadest
subject around because it covers everything (scientific inquiry,
sociology, psychology, mathematics, ethics, political science), the
acquisition of knowledge and it even deals with the metaphysical
inquiries that probe into the meaning of who we are, why we're here
and where we are going. Philosophy is the basis of all things. Maybe
the act of philosophy is god, the animating creative force behind the
human being...
answers8: No. Science and the scientific method are about things that
can be detected by our five senses (or suitable scientific
instruments) and are measurable. Philosophy is about the things that
can't be so quantified, yet exist nonetheless.
answers9: Science is concerned with "how" not "why".

why are the humanities important?

answers1: No single ingredient, among those you indexed, is
signifigant sufficient to account for the prosperity of Egypt. extra
advantageous you need to look on the synergy of the standards indexed,
and how each and every performed a factor interior the entire. in case
you need to decide for between the above, bypass with "C", and
understand that the two your text textile, or your instructor, is
being overly-simplistic.
answers2: so they can write well
answers3: A degree with a strong emphasis on the humanities is an arts
degree. Generally speaking, it is a bit easier to obtain in that it
requires less technical education. It should be the degree of choice
if a person intends to work closely with people. A liberal arts degree
makes for a much more pleasant companion in a working relationship.
Your interests are trained outside of the technical field in which
your are employed. In other words, the humanities keeps you from
becoming a total geek.
answers4: I'm interested in the answer to this too

celebration, would not be a liberals arts college. in case you want a
level is technological awareness, a liberal arts college is basically
effective until eventually you're searching for a school with fairly
some notoriety and specialization.

Is Chinese Martial Arts better than Russian Martial Arts?

answers1: No.
answers2: Rather depends on what you're looking for. <br>
Chinese arts have a long history and tend to be very "developed" which
may or may not make them entirely practical for actual fighting. If
you want to learn something as a "art" with lots of distinct forms and
techniques, then any number of Chinese systems may be good for you.
<br>
<br>
Russian styles, like much of Russian military equipement, tend to be
very practical. They are not "pretty", but they tend towards brutal
efficiency. If you want a practical fighting system... They are more
likely the way to go.
answers3: I think there are many reasons for refinement - or
evolution. There are the famous cases of the Okinawan peasants not
being allowed to use weapons - so they refined their fighting skills
to use whatever they had on hand. Another is Capoeira, the natives
were forbidden to practice fighting, and so they disguised their
practice with what the slave owners thought was dance. Militias, of
course, evolved when weapons became more technical. Warriors threw
down their spears to pick up long bows. The long bows gave way to
crossbows. The crossbows gave way to guns. And so on. These are
generally the success stories, because the refinement occurred slowly.
There are other evolutions that have obliterated entire styles: take
Taekwondo, for instance. Perhaps, even Karate. The mere concept of
sport injected into the style has transformed what was once a fierce
fighting system into nothing more than a game - it's only connection
to its past are deeply embedded in its forms. Another example is the
roundhouse kick. There didn't used to be the concept of it. A low
sweep, maybe, but certainly not of the ilk that strikes the head today
- that would be taboo in self-defense. Nevertheless, it's one of the
most executed kicks in the style. The evolution has come so quickly,
that forms didn't change much to catch up with it. And, of course,
there is the evolution of MMA. Here, people picked and chose what
"worked" for them, and dispensed with the rest. I suppose if you are
going to further an objective in the name sport, it makes sense to
prune out what you find useless - such would be the things that are
counter to the established rules (eye gouging, for instance). But if
one takes a style that has been around for years, then decides this
isn't important, and that's useless, etc, then that refinement is too
quick: not enough testing was done to see if one was right. We see
this all the time with each new decade showing off it's new chic
martial-art-de-jour. Are they any better? Are they worse? It depends
on the objective and quality of teaching. But there's no way I'll be
convinced they are a "way of life" that the older systems are. I don't
mind evolution, but it's got to further a meaningful objective. To do
it in the name of "this doesn't work" is to show a complete lack of
understanding of what it is that's being changed.

practical function of art?

answers1: it points us to the philosophical in our own lives and to
that which we want to preserve or change. Art in the making or the
viewing can have an enormous effect just think of the majority of
peasants in the 14th centrury who would never have seen a designed
cornflakes box or a label on a tin. How astounded they would be at the
art within a church the magical pictures depicting the story because
they could no t read - Art practically takes us into ourselves and is
an agent of change through visuals. they say in the press a picture is
worth more than a thousand words.That is because it moves us - changes
attitudes
answers2: Maybe, if that's what you want to do with it. Other
practical functions, graphic designer, book illustrator. Book
illustrator might take some work. Might not be so 'practical' but it
could be, and functionality and purpose; gives understanding to
children and adults, helps them read. Graphic design- ads, help people
to enroll in college, become doctors. Practical? You pick. You can
only succeed in what is interesting to you. If it's not, you won't be
good at it. Any of it takes effort.
answers3: Practical Function

Do i need to be good at art to major in art history? HELP PLEASE?

answers1: no, not for art history <br>
you can major in art history at almost any college, you dont need to
go to an art college <br>
you need a portfolio to major in art, or architecture in most cases
answers2: I think you've got the issues here a little confused. <br>
<br>
A school like Parsons or the Art Institute is going to focus on visual
arts, which is COMPLETELY different that art history. Art history is
an academic discipline that doesn't require any artistic skill. As an
art history student, you will learn the historical development of art,
from pre-history to contemporary art, with the different "schools" and
phases - ie, Byzantine, Medieval, Baroque, Impressionism,
Post-Modernism. For each school of art, you will learn the
influences. Art forms are influenced by culture, politics, religion,
society, international developments, technical achievements, etc. You
will study these influences and developments, and how they impacted
the art form of that time. You may also study the different ways art
is interpreted - feminism, queer study, Marxism, etc. <br>
<br>
You don't want to go to a visual art school for this. You want to
attend a university with a diverse art history faculty. Look into
schools with a generous amount of professors (don't forget to look at
adjuncts!) who represent various time periods and cultures. The
reason for this, is many careers in art history will require an
advanced degree - a Masters at minimum, probably a PhD. Therefore,
you want to have a diverse undergraduate study so that when you need
to specialize in your more advanced degree(s), you have a broad area
of knowledge from which to pick your specialization.

Does Tisch at NYU have an undergrad visual arts program?

answers1: Information is below.

Why doesn't this question appear in the visual art section ?

answers1: Because, when you selected the category, after entering the
question, you either clicked the wrong one or accepted the default
that Y!A suggested which was Drawing and Illustration probably because
of your dual use of "pop artist" in the question. <br>
And more directly, this guy is not a Visual Artist - he seems to be a
musician of sorts which is not included in Visual Arts.

Private acting coaches in MD?

answers1: You can start using this eYellowPages to look for acting class. <br>
<br>
You can check this link: http://www.yellowpages.com/baltimore-md/acting-classes
answers2: very confusing issue. do a search on yahoo and bing. this may help!
answers3: Acting coaches are only useful once you're an established
actor and need to work on one specific aspect of acting, like an
accent, dialect or a difficult characteristic. <br>
All good acting training is done in groups, as acting is all about
reacting and interacting with other actors. <br>
Coaches are also expensive and not worth the money anyway.

Can i use My Musical Theater Skills on Videos or Films?

answers1: Musical Theater and Theater are basically the same, just
Musical Theater has singing and dancing. while regular theater is just
spoken drama. <br>
Stage acting and video or film acting is very different. <br>
while you use the basics of acting in both, stage acting is much more
pronounced and overdone, so that the whole audience can see the actors
expressions and body language. <br>
Film or video is very close up, so you really minimize your
expressions and actions. <br>
<br>
A great example of Theater acting VS Film is Jim Carrey. <br>
That dude overacts so much it's ridiculous. He acts in film like he's
in a big theater so his facial expressions and movements is way too
much for the intimacy of film. <br>
I can't stand how badly he overacts. He's funny but looks like an
idiot doing it. Jerry Lewis was like that, too <br>
<br>
He was very "over the top" in films. <br>
<br>
So you do use your skills for spoken word and making it real, but you
tone it down quite a bit, acting basically "normally" but in another
"character. <br>
While stage acting has wide arm and body movements and big facial
expressions and is very "DRAMATIC"

What are some legit Poetry Magazine?

answers2: sophisticated thing. query with the search engines. this may help!

"Poet's Market" at the library or bookstore, or you can subscribe (for

Does anyone know of the poetry book called Immortal verses?

answers1: I'm pretty sure that's published by poetry.com. (That site
is pretty much a scam though so I'd steer clear... )
answers2: that's a scam, sorry to tell you :( they have overwhelmed
hundreds of hopeful poets, and scammed hundreds of greenbacks. They
settle for everyones poetry, and just about make certainly everyone a
finalist.
answers3: difficult stuff. check out using the search engines. that
will can help!
answers4: the only thing I can think of is the poetry.com anthology by
this name, which you should look on their website for. I don't usually
encourage people to check out poetry.com, so if you're looking for a
great anthology of poems, try using Amazon or google to search, and
Autumn House has some great anthologies. Also Claiming the Spirit and
Cries of the Spirit by Marilyn Sewell are great, and Against
Forgetting edited by Carolyn Forche.

Who Started poetry in past? in other words who is the founder of poetry?

answers1: Most people credit the Ancient Egyptians with inventing
poetry, but recent scholarship shows that they stole it from the
Phoenicians.
answers2: sophisticated subject. lookup using bing and yahoo. just
that will help!
answers3: Poetry as an art form may predate literacy.[4] Many ancient
works, from the Indian Vedas (1700–1200 BC) and Zoroaster's Gathas
(1200-900 BC) to the Odyssey (800–675 BC), appear to have been
composed in poetic form to aid memorization and oral transmission, in
prehistoric and ancient societies.[5] Poetry appears among the
earliest records of most literate cultures, with poetic fragments
found on early monoliths, runestones and stelae.
answers4: Oh my, there was never any 'first poet'. When humanity
gained speech, then poetry was born. <br>
<br>
Robert Penn Warren believed that poetry provided us with a sense of
conquest over the disorder and meaninglessness of experience. <br>
<br>
Li Bai believed that speech itself was poetry, and Whitman felt that
life was the finest poetry written in our universe. Homer and the
writers of Beowulf were siblings across time, organizing their worlds
into tales told well and with great beauty. <br>
<br>
The first time I saw the Northern Lights I was awestruck, terrified,
and immensely in need of reassurance which I found by composing long
verses out loud to the skies and heavens which brought this sight
alive. <br>
<br>
That was, in me, some of the birth of poetry, and I well imagine that
it was so ever since we walked upright and spoke aloud.

poetry contests?

answers1: Enter the poetry concert. Let them know these nutz is back
answers2: I think you've answered your own question; legit a keyword.
Poetry is not a competition sport and I offer a quote, " There is no
money in poetry, the there is no poetry in money either." Poets of
course hope to be recognized, but poetry is a passion, that can't be
denied.

What has helped to improve your poetry?

<br>
-read other poems, get inspired not copy <br>
-learning new words by reading or however (to describe things more
accurately, dictionary +thesaurus =good) <br>
-if you are describing something in a poem, actually describe the
thing you are describing in a way that actually describes it. not
because the way you are describing simply 'sounds nice'. <br>
-keep away from cliches <br>
-use symbols and metaphors (but good ones) <br>
<br>

guess one shld nvr labour to produce a poem,instead let it bloom
inside you.....let ur mind overflow....well all ds hav helped me...and
finally enjoy wat u do... :-) <br>
keep writing <br>
peace,cheers 'n respect
answers3: Learning poetry forms helped me to improve my poetry
answers4: Reading poetry from all times and places, in bilingual
editions as much as possible. (Even if you don't know the language,
the chances are good that you'll see differences in prosody, syntax,
rhymed words, etc., which will help you understand the poem and the
language better. Usually more recent translations are better, but not
necessarily.) <br>
<br>
Accepting that you, even though you're a poet or aspire to be one,
will not like all canonical poets. (You aren't supposed to like all
other poets, no matter how great the canon says they are. That's one
reason why you need to read criticism/theory/history. See below.) <br>
<br>
Writing poetry of all kinds, of all forms and tones and "levels" of
language and whatnot.... <br>
<br>
Emulating poets I admire/d (more when I first started). Being sure
that some of these are living poets. <br>
<br>
Writing out others' poems to "feel" the words and feelings and thought
processes more intimately and often more clearly. <br>
<br>
Memorizing favorite poems and sharing them with others. <br>
<br>
Being willing to write anywhere, anytime. (Having a pad of paper and a
writing instrument with you at all times and nurturing an ability to
concentrate. Sometimes changing the kind of paper and writing
instrument you use.) After doing this for a while, hopefully figuring
out how best you write and making your schedule fit those conditions.
<br>
<br>
Writing something first thing in the morning if at all possible. Not
only will you know that you've done something for yourself, but you'll
also put yourself in a poetic frame of mind for the rest of the day:
you'll be thinking of what to do with those lines you wrote or other
lines for other poems will come to you. <br>
<br>
Being unafraid to show others your poems, even if they are works in
progress. Choosing different sorts of people to show your poems to,
including everyone from nonreaders of poetry to those you know will
give you honest and constructive criticism. Being willing to listen to
that criticism and do something with it. <br>
<br>
Living in another country for at least six months. <br>
<br>
Getting outside. <br>
<br>
Being unafraid to be alone. <br>
<br>
Falling in love. <br>
<br>
Trying to make one new friend wherever you are, whomever you're with. <br>
<br>
Living as principled a life as possible. <br>
<br>
Realizing that the duty of the poet is almost always to be a loser.
Realizing that, at least in the U.S., the poet is too often a prophet
without honor. <br>
<br>
Reading all kinds of poetry criticism and history. For me there are
two especially interesting books, one for its ambition and scope and
love, the other for its very different approach: Michael Schmidt's
Lives of the Poets and Louis Zukovsky's A Test of Poetry.---And most
poets have the experience of reading Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet
when first beginning. <br>
<br>
Avoiding Selected Poems or anthologies, instead reading entire books
or collections by a single poet as much as possible; also, trying to
concentrate on one poet for as long as possible. <br>
<br>
Finding venues where you can read your poetry to others, thus trying
out your voice in different ways, seeing how and where the poem seems
to stand or fall, meeting other poets who might have the same
aesthetic or might be looking for a certain sort of sounding board.
<br>
<br>
Looking always for greatness, but not always accepting the words of
others that it exists where they say it does, whether they're readers,
critics, poets, or muses.... <br>
<br>
Remembering that there's always not only a need but a duty to improve....
answers5: You need to send these to a publisher I enjoyed the read and
think this would make a great book.
answers6: Age. <br>
Life experiances and reading lots of other peoples poetry helped me. I
am no longer tied to rules. I write the words and then see if it works
and how it works. Sometimes the form comes naturally, other times it
ends up as prose.
answers7: Basically the romance is just the way of talking without voice, <br>

· Why you are feeling crazy………………………………,,??? Yes ……………..??? <br>
· Just talk with eyes to eyes………………… <br>
· Talk with hands to her……………………………. <br>
· Talk lips to lips with her………………………………….. <br>

answers8: having interest in it and studying some poetry books.
answers9: Read widely, learn about different styles of poetry and
literary techniques. Appreciate others' works. Have pieces of paper
with you (even receipts are fine too) and a pen/pencil with you
wherever you go, jot down ideas, images that you see, phrases that you
come by along the street...all the little things in life can be
materials for your poems. <br>
<br>
In the beginning you might find yourself writing about the mundane
things in one's lives, but as you grasp the ways of writing, your
thoughts will take you deeper to the next level, and you may find your
poems getting more philosophical, questioning about things that you
see, or trying to explain certain things. <br>
<br>
Write often if you can. Doesn't have to be rigid like writing a diary
to produce say, a poem a day. There're bound to be times when you're
just not in the mood, or can't think of things to write about. It's
ok. You might find that writing meaningful, though short poems are
much better than forcing yourself coming up with something everyday.
<br>
<br>
Enjoy : )
answers10: It all comes from your life - what moves you, what your
heart wants, love, death, fear, betrayal, epiphany... <br>
<br>
Your poems don't have to rhyme or follow traditional meters, ie,
iambic pentameter. Great poems are honest and come from the soul,
unfiltered. <br>
<br>
Show up every day and tap into your emotions. <br>

morals that are in common with each other. Rights were built around
these common morals to make the public feel good about the government
and when the majority is happy- then the government gets to stay in
power (in most cases of course).

What are Avicenna's major contributions to philosophy?

answers1: he is best known as a polymath, as a physician whose major
work the Canon (al-Qanun fi'l-Tibb) continued to be taught as a
medical textbook in Europe and in the Islamic world until the early
modern period, and as a philosopher whose major summa the Cure
(al-Shifa') had a decisive impact upon European scholasticism and
especially upon Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274)." <br>
<br>
His philosophy? He translated and interpreted Aristotle 250 years
before Aquinas----because the Arabs were in possession of his words
before they were given to Aquinas. "As such, he may be considered to
be the first major Islamic philosopher." <br>
<br>
"The second most influential idea of Avicenna is his theory of the
knowledge. The human intellect at birth is rather like a tabula rasa,
a pure potentiality that is actualized through education and comes to
know." He may have gotten this idea from Aristotle, but at any rate he
got it 500 years before John Locke made it a significant part of his
own philosophy, and Locke was an Aristotelian, too, so the connection
is strong here. <a href="http://www.iep.utm.edu/avicenna/#H6"

<br>
Part of his philosophy was to construct a rational idea of Islam and
he made the attempt to bring secular ideas into understanding it. He
was successful to a point, because Muslim science and civilization
moved along long before that in the west. But he fell out of disfavor,
as did Averroes (Ibn Rushd who came along later and who followed
Avicenna's ideas) and with them went the science and the great
civilization came to a halt. This is because of the Islamic cultural
idea of the Shura Principle, which states that what the majority of
people believe to be true IS true. <br>
<br>
"His compromise with Muslim theology did not find favor in orthodox
circles and his philosophical works were burned in Baghdad. He
explained the moving, changing and developing state of nature. His
philosophy is the necessary link between the philosophy of Farabi and
Ghazali on one hand and that of Ibn Rushd (Averroes) on the other." <a

philosophy of Greek Classical Period?

answers1: The term "philosophy" is a compound word, composed of two
parts: philos (love) and sophia (wisdom), so that literally it means
love of wisdom. To be a philosopher is to love wisdom. <br>
The first part of the term philosophy (philos = love) is easy to
understand, denoting a "fondness for" or "attraction to." To love is
to place a value on something, so that the one who loves wisdom
considers it worthy of pursuit. The problem that arises, however, is
defining the term "wisdom" (sophia) as ancient Greeks would have
understood it. The term is not so easily explained. Nevertheless, this
much seems clear: since it was something to be loved and valued, it
seems that the ancient Greeks believed that wisdom did not come
naturally to the human beings. Normally, the things that are
commonplace and ubiquitous are taken for granted. Indeed, as will
become evident, ancient Greeks assumed that wisdom was inaccessible to
all but the intellectually capable and determined, so that its
possession was rare and highly prized. <br>
Generally for the ancient Greeks, to be a philosopher was to seek and
obtain an all-inclusive knowledge, which one could describe as the
knowledge of Being (Being is the most abstract of all terms, for it
means everything that is; as such Reality is a synonym for Being.)
Thus the philosopher, as the Greeks understood it, sought to
understand the Whole (another synonym for Being). The goal was to know
Being in its basic structure, not in all its multifarious detail, for
it was assumed that the details of one's existence become intelligible
when one understood them in relation to the Whole. To use a metaphor
from the building trade, the Greek philosopher was one who sought to
understand the framework in relation to which all the details of
existence were set. <br>
