Many modern artists use high technology equipment
in their works. Whereas traditionally artists used
a pencil or brush to make beautiful works of art,
artists in the early twenty-first century are now
using sound, video or computer generated images.
Digital art developed from simple patterns and
shapes made using computer programs to finished
works of art which can look as realistic as a
watercolour or oil painting. Modern art
exhibitions often include more videos and
installations than traditio...

20 Th Century Avant Garde
2,580 words
The environment was major contributing factor to
the evolution of Australian art in the 20 th
century. The elemental landscape; isolation and
distance, the imposition of the mythical and the
visionary on the landscape, national identity (the
universal and the regional) and the demise of
Arcadia and romantic idealism interweave
magnificently to present the impact of
surroundings on the artwork of such a then
delicate nation. In retrospect it was the
surroundings / climate /atmosphere / feeling an...

... mankind's search for the truth and perfection
of existence. Man always has at least two parts of
him to contend with, the moral side and the more
human side. He is able to come to terms with
himself through ritual. With worship, man is able
to grasp a small understanding of immortality and
God. Ritual is the tool with which John Updike
uses to reach the point of existence and meaning.
What seems to be dull and monotonous is actually a
celebration of life. Most people associate ritual
as a pr...

Symbolic Interaction Contemporary Society

Sociology Over the last four decades Jurgen
Habermas has revealed an innovative and
much-discussed theory of contemporary capitalist
society. He built his theory on Max Weber's thesis
that the dynamic growth of capitalism destroyed
individual freedom and the meaningfulness of
social life. Habermas considered contemporary
social conflict as resistance to this dynamic by a
variety of social groups. In his theory of
'communicative action' he tried to show the
possibilities in contemporary society f...

The Influence of Discourse on the Artwork of Cindy
Bernard Over nearly two decades, Cindy Bernard's
artwork has progressed and she has become one of
the truly accomplished contemporary artists of
today. Writings and discourses of her work have
appeared in LA Weekly, Flash Art, The Serpentine
Gallery, and the New Times. For Cindy Bernard, the

transformed her art, but rather, her art has

Oceanic art is diverse in style and technique.

canoe-prow ornaments, ceremonial shields, masks,
stone carvings, decorated human skulls, pottery,
and stools. Fertility is a recurrent theme, along
with occasional references to headhunting and

Contemporary Literary Criticism Heller

Joseph Heller who is perhaps one of the most
famous writers of the 20 th century writes on some
emotional issues such as war. He does not deal
with these issues in the normal fashion instead he
criticizes them and the institutions that help
carry these things out. Heller in fact goes beyond
criticizing he satirizes. Throughout his two major
novels Catch- 22 and Good as Gold he satirizes
almost all of America? s respectful institutions.
To truly understand these novels you must

fundamental beliefs: God exists, and yet evil
exists; all humanity does have free will and all
these beliefs contribute t...
