And Training

The Barron-Welsh Revised Art Scale was administered to 144 female and 68 male university undergraduates in art, music, dance, and general studies to test whether experience and training in the arts would be associated with choices consistent with openness to perceptual experience. It was hypothesized that training in modern and jazz dance, which is stylistically less classical and formal, would be associated with greater sensitivity to experience than would training in ballet and flamenco, more formalized dance styles. No differences between art students and nonart students or among dancers with various training experiences were observed.

What is it about art that can be so captivating? How is it that we find value in these often odd and abstract objects and events that we call artworks? My proposal is that artworks are attentional engines. They are artifacts that have been intentionally designed to direct attention to critical stylistic features that reveal their point, purpose, or meaning. My suggestion is that there is a lot that we can learn about art from interdisciplinary research focused on our perceptual engagement with artworks. These kinds of studies can reveal how we recognize artworks, how we differentiate them from other, more quotidian artifacts. In doing so they reveal how artworks function as a unique source of value. Our interactions with artworks draw on a broad base of shared artistic and cultural constitutive of different categories of art. Cognitive systems integrate this information into our experience of art, guiding attention, and shaping what we perceive. Our understanding and appreciation of artworks is therefore carried in our perceptual experience of them. Teasing out how this works can contribute valuable information to our philosophical understanding of art. Attentional Engines explores this interdisciplinary strategy for understanding art. It articulates a cognitivist theory of art grounded in perceptual psychology and the neuroscience attention and demonstrates its application to a range of puzzles in the philosophy of the arts, including questions about the nature of depiction, the role played by metakinesis in dance appreciation, the nature of musical expression, and the power of movies.

Song Lyrics

The modern education system and strategies to achieve competitiveness, collaboration, and creativity are being the main focus of Indonesian higher education. They actively give positive influence to English teachers at Indonesia Institute of the Arts of Yogyakarta who particularly seek for the appropriate technique in transferring English to art students who need English as their potential engagement to the world of arts and life. For a project-based approach becomes a part of English for Special Purposes, it has been, therefore, one of the alternative approaches proposed to music students for which English is necessarily needed to accommodate their competence. The need analysis of music students would be essential to find out the appropriate techniques to teach English to art students. Therefore, the research was aimed to analyze the need analysis of music students who did the song lyrics writing as the project in English learning and to find out the significant result of implementing the project in the English class of art students of Music Department. The research used qualitative method which addressesed to descriptive analysis. The subject of this research was students of music department who were divided into six groups consisting of four to five students each, and were selectively chosen based on the purposive-sample method. The research result could be well accepted that music students produced English song lyrics and performed it as well

This book considers the history of aesthetics by taking into account not only theories of the arts but also the rich fabric of practices relating to the world of performing bodies onstage and the music that sounded alongside them and was made by them—the works of art, music, and theater that were conspicuously about art-objecthood. The introduction sketches the broader fashion for animated statues described in the book, asking what readers can hope to gain from a detailed account of this historical phenomenon that was situated at (or near) the emergence of modern aesthetic thought, as well as the birth of a musical canon.

This article analyses and compares the evolving role of general subjects in the curricula of initial upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) in Finland and Sweden during the 1990s and 2010s. The research illustrates how Bernstein’s concept of ‘pedagogic code’ supports comparative studies on principles guiding changes to curricula and how the role of general studies in VET has been redefined. The findings show that while a principle of ‘market relevance’ has been central to VET over the decades since the 1990s, it has been subject to varying interpretations. The shifts in interpretations have guided the organisation of VET in these two countries in different directions, including the role of general subjects within the curriculum. On a general level, the countries share some key similarities. Both countries emphasised lifelong learning and a broadening of VET in the 1990s, based on a core principle of ‘flexibility’. In the 2010s, the earlier promotion of flexibility and universal access to higher education was superseded by a stronger focus on employability and entrepreneurship in addition to students’ command of more specific vocational tasks.

Teaching of the arts which include universal values and rules in essence ,in spite of containing local signs, should be formed by universal criteria’s and the richness, and contain diversity as well.  Intercultural interaction is an opportunity that may offer important advantages to this diversity. To be the subject of education and training of the arts, which is almost in the same age with humanity, in Turkey coincides with relatively near future. Turkish art education institutions, trying to fit the process of understanding hundreds of years of tradition and rules into a few decades, tried to speed up this process by going especially western countries or bringing artists from there. While the number does not exceed fingers of two hands especially in the last ten-fifteen years, now the expression of these numbers with three-digit numbers made the need for qualified instructors preferred. On the one hand this case contains various handicaps, but on the other hand, it can be considered as an opportunity. These study opportunities were designed to detect the sample.Keywords: art, intercultural interaction, Azerbaijani painters.

The arts have played a major role in the development of management theory, practice, and education; and artists’ competencies like creativity, inventiveness, aesthetic appreciation, and a design mindset are increasingly vital for individual and organizational success in a competitive global world. The arts have long been used in teaching to: (a) explore human nature and social structures; (b) facilitate cognitive, socioemotional, and behavioral growth; (c) translate theory into action; (d) provide opportunities for professional development; and (e) enhance individual and systemic creativity and capacities for change. Use of literature and films are curricular mainstays. A review of the history of the arts in management teaching and learning illustrates how the arts have expanded our ways of knowing and defining managerial and leadership effectiveness—and the competencies and training necessary for them. The scholarship of management teaching is large, primarily ‘how-to’ teaching designs and the assessments of them. There is a clear need to expand the research on how and why the arts are and can be used more effectively to educate professionals, enable business growth and new product development, facilitate collaboration and team building, and bring innovative solutions to complex ideas. Research priorities include: the systematic assessments of the state of arts-based management teaching and learning; explorations of stakeholder attitudes and of environmental forces contributing to current educational models and practices; analyses of the learning impact of various pedagogical methods and designs; examining the unique role of the arts in professional education and, especially, in teaching for effective action; mining critical research from education, psychology, creativity studies, and other relevant disciplines to strengthen management teaching and learning; and probing how to teach complex skills like innovative thinking and creativity. Research on new roles and uses for the arts provide a foundation for a creative revisiting of 21st-century management education and training.

Taking Responsibility

One reason there never seems to be adequate funding for the arts is that supply can never keep up with demand. Because of their mission and the environment they provide for creative minds, universities contribute to the problem by fanning the sparks of artistic desire. At the same time, because of their role in educating the audiences of the future, they are equally a part of the solution. In good financial times no less than in bad, Americans have tended to regard support for the arts in a puritanical light. Universities therefore make their most solid contributions to the arts in kind, by encouraging artists and the arts as part of the primary educational mission and by exposing all students to both the old and the new in art, music, and drama. Even though direct subventions are bound to remain inadequate, institutions can effectively provide support for the arts by resuming some responsibility for instilling aesthetic judgment in the citizens and consumers of tomorrow. Universities have a historical obligation to develop the highest in human awareness. This includes helping to determine tomorrow's tune by taking responsibility for informing the tastes of those who will pay the pipers of the future.

SummaryThe distribution of phenotypes in the tongue-rolling polymorphism in two samples of university undergraduates, totalling 1066 individuals, shows no difference between the sexes but large differences between groups drawn from different faculties and particularly between the life sciences and the arts. There are also indications of a difference in distribution between arts students living in halls of residence and those living elsewhere.The genetics of tongue-rolling is not yet critically established but, on the assumption that most of the phenotypic variation observed has a genetic basis, the data suggest that the loci governing this character may also contribute to variation in personality characteristics which influence choice of subject of study.
