I was reading the section about arts and politics and I think that this is a very interesting topic to discuss. My question is " How has the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA- founded in 1967 by the Congress) influenced on how people appreciate the value of art created in public spaces?"
I think that this topic is not common and that is why I decided to write about it. This question will help me to understand that people have changed the way they appreciate art and that the government has played an important role in this issue. I think that creating a society with good education about arts is very important for the future of this country.
While I was reading the book, I found so interesting how the government required 1 percent of the cost of new public buildings to be dedicated to enhance their public spaces with pieces of art. I think that this was a very smart decision because in my opinion one of the responsabilities of the government is to increase the education of the people, and this include art and culture. Art is part of our idiosincrasy (characteristics of our culture and our country), and it has to be preserved and valued by the people.
I will go to the public library to find more references about this topic. I will also go to the campus library to find more books.
I expect that they will have different approaches to my question because I think that almost every topic that talks about the government has too many opinions and approaches. This topic has a so much to do with politics, which is a very controversial issue in our society.
Sculpture will be relevant for my question because it is the kind of artwork that is more abundant in public spaces. I think that sculptures are so used in public spaces because they can be made in very big sizes.
I think that the mediun that I will use in my artwork is painting. It looks so interesting and I have never done it, so I want to learn something new.
