Assignment Two! *the procedure.

2. The 800 words Essay.

Creative Multimedia has been a part of our lives for quite a long time already. There’s all sorts of branches forming it, one of it is the ever so broad field of art. Even so, what impact has art as part of Creative Multimedia brought towards society ? We can observe them through five different aspects; of which are education, culture, moral, lifestyle and technology that revolves around the lives of society.

Firstly, art  plays a significant role in our education system. Starting from the primary stage of learning, art subject is introduced to draw out an individual’s artistic talent. In this stage, students are taught about the very basic of art such as drawing and colouring. The subject will be continuously taught until the secondary stage of learning where art subject becomes optional. It is up to the students’ decision in what subjects they would like to take on at that moment. However, it is not compulsory to take the art subject if they would like to take an art course during their tertiary education level. Specification of the art courses offered by an institution is something they should consider twice because it will determine their future career. Unlike the former level of education, most of the subjects in an art course are based on assignments and portfolios, which are something challenging for the students as they have to implement the skills and techniques they have achieved previously into their works.

Cultural ethos based in art - each and every country, if you were to carefully acknowledge, acquires their own style of characterized art, in which that is the pedestal in originally deriving their lifestyle and daily lives to create such craftsmanship in the world of aesthetic culture. Many parts of the world that we can infer and innovatively learn as well develop a skill of our own is that the impact the world culture of art tends to bring up every now and then. Take for instance, Salvador Dali – he was the very first Spanish artist whom in his early time, audaciously constructed the art term “avant-garde” movement to a whole new level. Initiatively, bringing surrealism much bolder and ambiguous than ever, striking a powerful fraudulent impression to the audience onto asking what “art” truly is through its definition, and shockingly, as well as to any other famous artists out there till this day. Cultural art is also part of the horizontally challenged of learning and teaching process on what makes it so impeccably effective to this day.

What matters most is that, the influential development culture of art has brought on us, towards the younger generation bears both positive and negative side to it. It is up to us, whether we’d utilize our skills and passions in defining what art is in our terms to innovate in squeezing our own juices to master our lifetime opportunity in creating our soulful art as part of the future’s generation to make it as their culture as well. Consequently, in 50 years, the repetition would go over and over as it instills what true nature defines itself as. Thus, we learn from the past of cultural arts to make it as our own newly cultured waves of aesthetic notions.

If there’s another aspect that should be taken notice about art, then it shall certainly be the moral, specifically the individual and society’s moral  that is implemented and formed by the employment of art throughout time. In the olden times, society and the individual self of each denizen was constrain strictly of the moral that each should obey to. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. With the evolution of art though, this one sided perspective was changed to that of a better one.  Rather than just sticking to the norm of right and wrong, art has made the society to think more aesthetically, as to break out from the norm way of thinking. What was defined wrong before is seen as a form of art; for example the formation of Surrealism Art.

Even so, there are still some that still doubts the consequences that art might bring to the lives of society. Some even perceive that  moral are to crumble by addiction to excessive aesthetic appreciation.Then again, modern thinkers are agreeable to the fact that the existence of art itself gives a sense of freedom in one’s life. The production and absorption of new ideas from the constant  development of art has made it a necessary ontogenensis of a very well moral sense.

Art reflects life and are commonly associated with media.  It has allowed us to glimpse lives and lifestyles. Art has created the fashionable lifestyle where none had existed before.  At one time, dressmakers in the colonies used the artwork found in magazines and depicted in reproductions of paintings to create the latest in fashionable clothing. In addition, art has also provided clues to the past and advanced questions about the future. The greatest impact of art is its ability to provide us with the truth about the world seen through the eye of an artist. It allows for ways of looking at and thinking about life that may not be tolerated in the social and political paradigm of a given society , and this freedom to converse and reflect allows artists to bring public attention to areas of concern. The experience leads our lifestyles circles - a quality of the transformative experience that awakens the unconscious and grasps human solidarity. 

Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization. Technologies significantly affects human to control and adapt to their natural environment. Thus, the evaluation of technology in multimedia can also brings impact towards the community. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. This can be seen with all the designing software nowadays, such as adobe illustrator, adobe photoshop, after effects and so on. These software can encourage their users to make use of it. They will probably produce more creative artworks. As for example the illustrator is used for graphic designing in example; posters or advertising. That is not all, those who create animations, sound editing, and special effects are from the help of these evolving technology. This however also brings to the creation of web designs, interphase design, digital media and etc. From the initial design concept to website development and creation, they’ll use the latest technology to build an exciting, and useable website.
