Eddie - In this article, Carlos Sanatanna writes about 3 pieces of contemporary art, and how they reflect on the damage and pain hurricanes have put on PR or more specifically what Hurricane Maria did. But it also refers to how they depend on America but in hard times like post hurricane they don't get much help. He then relates this to how they keep pushing through the harder times which is being a community, as since they are smaller communities they have an extremely close bond.

This article by Carlos is related to both others by showing how communities use art to come together and bring awareness to the issues happening. Carlos wrote about pieces that have meaning for smaller communities and bring the problems of these small communities to life. This ties the Puerto Rican problems with the communities aspect as they aren't large enough communities to do much but with art that many can see it can give a larger message than anything else they could do previously. This also ties to the problem of the Arab community as both communities used their art to give a message to others and to bring their problems to light, thus connecting them.

This relates to the question of how the creator of the art is trying to create a feeling of helplessness and show the problems in Puerto Rico. Thus, the artist is trying to create an effect of destruction and poverty so that others understand the situation in Puerto Rico.

In this work, Charles Tripp discusses the political scene in the Arab Middle East and North America during 2011-2012 and how art played a major role in the public's way of expressing their opinions. He mentions specifically how at first art was used in a repressive manner to promote the leaders of the state yet gradually shifted in favor of the citizens as a way to mobilize protests and express repressed voices.

This connects with the research question as art is used in a way to gather opinions and form public protest in this article, bringing together a community against a common enemy which is the effect it creates in society.

This article can be associated with the artistic work above as they both describe communities coming together during rough times to fight for a cause or persevere through an issue by using art. The adjacent article to the right is also related to this article as it discusses similar topics regarding societal change by using art to open perspectives and gather people to a common ground.

ARTS IMPACT: Arts and Culture in the Community

In this article, Milner describes the impact and effect that the arts and creation of the arts can have on a community. She explains how art can bring communities together and strengthen ties through large scale art projects, like community plays. She also describes the effect that the arts can have on youth, by showing how through community projects, like participating in theater events, they can develop a better sense of belonging. Milner explains that through arts,   traumatized children can express themselves, and developmentally disabled individuals can participate and be their own artists. This article relates to the research question, as it explains how the members of the community themselves have an opportunity to be their own artist, and help make an impact as a society on everyone’s well being. The introduction of arts into communities helped bring the people together, let them express themselves,  allowed them to see in real time what these changes can have on their lives and society.

This relates to the scientific artifact above, as the idea of neurological functions affected by art happened in these communities, where youth were positively impacted, and felt as if they were a part of something larger. The same article relates to the artistic artifact below, as they both deal with communities, and how art managed to bring awareness and help solve problems within them.

This article outlines an overview of street art through artists like Banksy and how it challenges the notion of control by being able to deliver political criticism. Emily Wang also explores its relation to graffiti historically as a way to express disempowered voices, resulting in its present political content. Though due to its commercialization, street art has been gradually losing its main purpose of being a voice for the public as it becomes integrated into capitalist society with increasing popularity, but there are hopes of its legacy continuing with this newfound popularity.

This correlates with the original question as it discusses how Banksy and other artists use street art to express their opinions, relate to a larger crowd, and influence their ideas, overall trying to create a democratizing effect on society.

This article relates to the adjacent social and cultural article above as they both focus on activism through art along with the different effects artistic works can have on people. This article can also relate to the adjacent scientific video as colors can be used in political street art to target/enhance specific emotions out of the wide array of people who see it depending on the author's goal, having an important part in producing public opinion which would also be an interesting connection point between the works.

Eddie - This article speaks about music, another form of art such as the thangka, but it also discusses two views of music and art in general. (It's about more instrumental music) The views that David goes over are if the impression or meaning is created by the music itself or if the watcher or listener decides to put a meaning. David writes that listening to music and discerning emotion is almost a conscious thought sometimes, as you can assume. However, pieces that sit in between the lines might be more up to the listener to decide what to do as it can be more up to how one feels about the piece and what it represents. This shows the ability of the artist to create an effect by going for a singular emotion but also how the person taking in the art is also able to depict the piece in their own way.

This article can relate to the one on the left of it as they both show how most of the time the point of the art can be changed, as it is usually actually the viewer that chooses what it means because art is not on a this is only correct bases but more of a one based on the viewer's point of view. This connects to the one above as they both talk about how certain things are made to sound or look like specific stuff, as stated above some colors stand for different things and have different meanings in general. This article also talks about how it's the viewer's decision for what it means but also how the creator also tries to go to extremes to try and convey their intended message better such as different instruments that are usually aligned with certain vibes or emotions.

This relates to the question as sometimes the artist can't make the full effect because they never know how someone will take it in for themselves. This makes it so some artists try to go for the very high points for some emotions in their music, but sometimes even if the artist tries to just force the emotion it can still end with the observer choosing what they get from it.

What effect do artist create through their work

In this visual, there are discussions on Norman Rockwell, a popular artist in the past, with a brief history of his work known as The Four Freedoms series inspired by Roosevelt’s speech in 1941, which was known as political propaganda to encourage people to enlist in the war. His works were known for having many key small details that enhanced each piece. However, he gradually shifted into addressing more racially controversial topics in his art such as one inspired by Ruby Bridges, starting his advocation towards the civil rights movement.

This work relates to the question since it discusses how originally Rockwell hoped to use his works to encourage people to sign up to go to war for their American values and had helped the US earn ample war bonds yet shifted purposes in hopes of bringing light to racial inequality and mistreatment while also supporting the civil rights movements in his artwork.

This video relates to its adjacent social and cultural piece due to its similarities in addressing racial topics and advocation to help promote new ideals and acceptance of differing cultures. This also can relate to the artistic document on the right as both works address how art is dependent in the eyes of the beholder due to how many elements and depictions are added in for the audience to find out and perceive in their own way.

How art gives shape to cultural change

Thelma Golden describes how she had a goal to change the way in which society thinks about cultures through the work of art. Through multiple galleries, she set up exhibits using the work of young black artists to create thought provoking and unique art. The works of art include an array of imagery, like depicting African Americans in famous paintings from the past, or making completely new works depicting life as an African American,  or art symbolizing the oppression they have faced. This relates to the question, as it shows how through art, Golden wanted to introduce people to alternate perspectives through art, in order to change their view of society and the cultures within them.

This relates to the political and historical artifact on the left, as they both pertain to the idea of changing society, and changing perspectives of how people feel. The political and historical artifact relates on the right, as they both pertain to discussing the struggles of African Americans, and how they are portrayed through the arts.

Thelma Golden, curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem, talks through three recent shows that explore how art examines and redefines culture. The “post-black” artists she works with are using their art to provoke a new dialogue about race and culture -- and about the meaning of art itself.

Eddie - This video speaks on how inspirational art is and how it can make someone want to make art for their life and even rekindle the beauty they saw in making and observing it. Tom does this by explaining his life; in his words, he was an "unsuccessful child", but he would make sympathetic art

(something created that is created to be like something else but is fake) and he did this as a kid. But when he grew up he never stayed in the art industry and decided to put his welding skills into fixing elevators. After seeing a piece by Piet Mondrian he became inspired to start making art again, this led him to create new art that is different and creative in his way. And him choosing this lead him to be able to make so mutch art and even grow as an artist and person.

This relates to the two science-related ones beside it because they are both about how art can affect the minds and emotions of the individual. More scientifically, art can change your stress levels and lower blood pressure. Also, art can be used in a physiological way as it can give insights into the person and how they react and think. This video relates as it says how just looking or listening to art can make others be inspired to do it themselves, this relates as both the two articles and video show how art changes how they can think and react as it can lower blood pressure but also just inspire someone as shown.

This is overall related to the question as it shows how art's effect on people can be so drastic it can change their lives by just inspiring them to make their music. Showing how art's affects the inspiration of a person and their creativity and view on art.

In this article, Frieder R. Lang proves how art can change our brains. Him and his team conducted an experiment and shared the data to prove art can calm us down, lower our blood pressure, and normalize our cortisol levels. The experiment was on newly retired individuals; all of them got a psychological exam and an MRI scan before joining. Participants were then separated into two different groups, visual and cognitive art. Visual got to find their own art expression and draw, while cognitive analyzed and interpreted paintings and sculptures. At the end of the experiment it proved that art really does change our brain, and can improve interactions between parts of our brain.

The question "What effect do artists create through their work" can be analyzed in many different ways. From a scientific point of view, you can ask, what does art do for the brain, and what can it mean? Lang figured out what art can do for the brain and how even viewing it can improve brain functions, which is an effect created by artists

This Article can connect to art because both talk about how art can change your brain and how having art in your life can improve it.

This can also connect to social/cultural below because that article talks about how traumatized kids can use art to express themselves which looking at the brain, connects to the scientific article.

Does Art Activism Affect Pre-School Children's Attitudes towards Individuals with Blindness?

In this article, researchers study what affects art made by people visually impaired affects preschool aged kid’s opinions and feelings about them as blind people. The study took place in Poland, where there are tensions over treatment of minorities, including legally blind people, and explored how their attitudes would be changed because of it. They found that the kids that went  through the art exhibit blindfolded ended up having more compassionate views than kids that never saw the exhibit. This relates to the question, as it shows that experience of going through the exhibit while blindfolded created an effect on the kids that allowed them to be more empathetic towards other people. It clearly shows a correlation between a form of art that was portrayed and how it had an effect in society.

This relates to the political and historical artifact below, as they both discuss the ideas of activism in art, and how through more unconventional ways of experiencing art, people can come out with different opinions or perspectives. The scientific artifact relates to the article, as they both deal with creativity. Through experiencing exhibits in unique ways, or dealing with how art fosters this type of behavior, these methods invoke new perspectives among the viewers.

The video "The Psychology of Colors: How Colors Impact Your Emotions and Actions", it goes through each color talking about how it can affect you. Three main colors that pop out in Fridas' art piece is pink, brown and grey. Frida is the main attraction in her artwork and her dress is pink, pink is mainly associated with hope and compassion. Grey is more neutral but when used alone can induce feelings of depression and introversion. Brown is associated with nature and conveys messages of honesty, stability, and healing. In the video it talks about all other colors and how they can impact you.

This relates to the original question of "What effects do artists create through their work", because knowing how colors can impact people psychologically can provoke a deeper meaning into her paintings. Creating this deeper meaning can spark more emotions with her viewers.

This Article can relate to both adjacent posts because the one above talk Banksy, who uses graffiti to convey deeper meanings. Both of them relate to each other because Banksy can use different colors to make his art more meaningful.

Artistic article, below this, talks about how music can conveys emotions just like any other art. This Article talks about sparking emotions specifically with colors, so they both relate with causing emotions.

In the article "The inspirational power of arts on creativity", it talks about a theory that viewing art or creating it can enhance your creativity. They did over 3 studies testing openness to art, mediating inspiration, effects of art appreciation, and creativity in a business concept. Final conclusion states that viewing art does make you more creative, and can impact your day to day decisions by being more open to new things.

Creativity is used every day not just by artists. Viewing art can make you think on a deeper level and the artists can make it purposeful. Artists can create many different effects but just by viewing their art, can change your thinking.

This connects to Artistic because this article talks about how viewing art can make you more artistic, and the inspirational speaker in the video talks about how he saw a piece of art that made him get back into art.

Social/Cultural connects to this article too, because they both talk about how viewing art can change you and your decisions.
