Mandatory College Courses and Prerequisites Very Troubling
We have a huge problem in our local community colleges, especially when it comes to graduating high school seniors that have taken honors or advanced placement courses in HS and then they go into college. They've worked very hard and struggled through the advanced placement courses while in HS, but then they are still forced to take prerequisite classes in college. It turns out that many of these prerequisite classes are nothing more than review for them.
This causes several problems. First, the college student who wants to really learn, gets bored, loses interest in school and gets quite frustrated. Especially considering that they want to get into a four year school they have to take the other classes, but before they take the other classes they must complete prerequisites which are copy classes from what they had in high school.
The colleges say; "We have to make sure the students know this material otherwise they will fail the upper classes." Whereas, this may be true, it negates the entire purpose of having advanced placement courses in HS. Students that work hard in high school should get a leg up on the world not be penalized for their academic sacrifices.
Next, another problem that occurs is that many of the former Advance Placement students in the prerequisite classes, hurt the grading-curve for the other kids who are just now being introduced to this material. This makes it harder for the other students that did not take advanced placement trying to complete the prerequisites.
In fact, it turns out to be unfair to everyone involved, all the students that is. The community college of course, doesn't see a problem because they have filled up all their classrooms and created more revenue in fees. I am very troubled by all this, how about you?
My basic arguments are as follows;
- Wastes time
- Costs the students money
- Delays students from working
- Unfair Advantage to some students
- Makes College completely boring and uneventful

Why Are Paintings So Expensive?
When priceless pieces of art get stolen from the big galleries in the major cultural centers of the world, people go crazy, the media has a field day and prophets proclaim the ending of the world, the four horsemen returning and Tom eating Jerry. But when they make the announcement on the news, they have a digitally rendered billion trillion pixel, perfect copy of the original sat behind them. Why are the originals so valuable when everyone and their dog can have the same picture printed off and wallpapered in their downstairs loo?
Photography
Maybe before the invention of the camera and the printing press, you could justify that a painting was something valuable, as there would be no other way of recording that priceless moment when an orange sat in the same bowl as an apple and a banana. But with a photograph you can take a picture of a painting or the scene itself, capturing its every minute detail. Surely this should take some value from the original rendering.
Replicas
Criminals being criminals, they have delved into the art world with reckless abandon and brought with them, art students, jealous wannabe masters and copycats alike. Their skills can be used to copy, stroke for stroke, old and new paintings so that their version has every single quality that an original has. Surely if you had no way of telling that this was in fact not the original, then what happens to its value? It should go down right?
Volume
Art is big business. There are millions and millions of paintings out there. A hundred thousand million bowls of fruit, a trillion half naked women, a great many old men on horses and a rather large amount of blue squares next to red triangles. With new artists streaming out of art colleges daily all with their own thing to add to the art melting pot, why do some paintings demand million pound price tags, while they budding artists who can barely afford drawing inks can't paste their pictures on a bus stop without the council power washing it off. Sheer volume of art should surely drag the price of art down. It's basic economics. Why, why, why?
Sheer exclusivity is the answer. Owning the original version of a painting by a grand old master like 'Renoir' or 'Monet' is like having the only copy of a section of his soul. The fact that a painting is so well known and copied endlessly just adds to the individuality of having the original. This is why, when an artist dies, their work is suddenly worth so much more: because they can't make anymore originals. Art will always be expensive because it is such a personal, emotional thing, and especially if it is by someone famous.
David Somberville recons Van Gogh's field easel was no better than his, but it takes more than the best drawing inks to make a name for yourself.

Graphic Design in New York City Slated to Get Boost With College Graduates
New York City is a hub for all things related to technology; this of course isn't limited to motion graphic studios, animation houses, 3D rendering farms, and graphic design firms. With NYC housing three of the top art and design colleges in America: SVA (School of Visual Arts), Parsons the New school for Design, and Cooper Union - The Advancement of Science and Art. Each of these educational institutions is renowned for spitting out some of the greatest ethical designers in the world. These young designers normally leave New York City at the drop of a hate for places such as Shanghai, Berlin, Torino, and London; places known to have vast and considerably less competitive opportunities for young, emerging designers. However, more and more these young designers are choosing to stay in the tri-state area to make their mark on the design world. But why?
I have heard established print designers from Parsons, say that the reason behind this phenomenon is because graphic design in New York City, and design all over America has become stagnant. Large graphic design institutions which have established themselves as design trendsetters have moved design in the wrong direction he says; that design itself hasn't been allowed to move in the right direction due to a lack of creative routes for people to explore. These hip, young designers tend to group together and form small design start up companies. One famous one: "Iminlikewithyou" also came about by a few of these students from design schools. The social networking website turned out to be one of the best niche examples of web 2.0 advertising strategy.
As outsourcing design work becomes more and more prominent in America, many young designers with sentiments towards their own country refuse to travel elsewhere to work; instead their choosing to remain in America to work and bolster the economy without reducing themselves to outsourced work to places such as India, China, and Russia. Another seductive reason for young designers to remain in America is government incentive. There are plenty of government grants offered to startup companies who don't outsource their work. For all of these reasons together, graphic design in New York City is looking more and more profitable, reasonable, and logical.

Begin Your College Studies With Associate Degree Programs
Students who are seeking undergraduate studies will usually begin their college education by finding top associate degree programs. Many colleges and vocational schools offer associate degrees in a variety of subjects that take about two years to complete.
Associate degrees offer a flexible platform for quick entry into many professions. Community colleges, vocational schools and trade schools will offer the associate's in a number of subjects, from aeronautics to x-ray technician and beyond. The usual prerequisite for enrollment in undergraduate degree programs is a high school diploma or GED. This is not always the case, however; some schools will look more favorably on those with a high grade point average, and some colleges will accept relevant work experience in lieu of a diploma to qualify the student for entry.
Associate degrees are generally comprised of Associate of Arts (AA), and Associate of Science (AS). These undergraduate degree programs are course specific and may only touch briefly on a variety of in-depth subtopics; therefore, individuals may opt to take a double major combining two subjects to prepare for a specific career path or for higher degrees. When two subjects are studied at once, the education can be especially valuable in certain fields, such as Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Business, Information Technology and Health Care, etc. You can discuss your aspirations with college admissions administrators to get a good grasp of the level of education you will need to achieve your goals.
Associate degrees will satisfy many employers, and this level of college education will suffice for many students who simply wish to enter the work force directly after graduation. However, the associate degree is most often sought as a launching platform to the next level, a Bachelor degree program. Credits may be earned in at community colleges or vocational schools and transferred to another school or college after graduation.
As many working adults are also entering the college arena, there is a growing demand for online degree programs. You can find hundreds of vocational schools and colleges offering associate degrees online, and they offer some very good degree programs to choose from. Tuition varies, but students may apply for financial aid, state funding, grants or other financial assistance from most good schools.

Western Painting - The Movement in Western Art - Lyrical Abstraction
History
Lyrical Abstraction refers to Post-war Modernist term, often used interchangeably with Art Informel and Abstract Expressionism that grew in Europe, precisely in France, in 1945 and lasted up to around late 1957. In 1946, a French art critic Charles Estienne formally coined the term 'Lyrical Abstraction.' In America,this Abstraction was a movement described by Larry Aldrich in 1969. The name 'Tachisme' was also used to depict this movement.
o European Lyrical Abstraction: When, post World War II, France was busy resurrecting its image
devastated due to collaboration and occupation, some art lovers decided to restore the position of Paris as art hub as well, as it was, until the World War. Bringing plan to action, several exhibitions were held in Paris. George Mathieu's two exhibitions "Abstraction Lyrique" in Paris in 1947, and when Francis Picabia, Francis Stahly sculptor, Georges Mathieu, Michel Tapié, and Camille Bryen, Wols, Hans Hartung, and Riopelle in 1948, delivered some remarkable trends on canvas. While George's works clearly demarcated the gap separating 'cold' Geometric Abstraction from the 'hot' organic Lyrical type of Abstraction, Wols' paintings had the influence of French Surrealists, such as the meticulous and prolific graphic work. Hartung's paintings were focused on hatching, streaking, & brushing, and Hartung's canvas was full of deletions. Riopelle's paintings on the other hand, were freestyle, with no fixed concept or ideas.
o American Lyrical Abstraction: Tachisme marked the American landscape during 1960s-70s at New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and then Toronto and London. Spanning from Minimalism to Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, and Tachisme, Lyrical Abstraction featured loose strokes, spontaneous expression, illusionist space, acrylic staining, process, occasional imagery, and other unique and novel painting techniques.This Form of Abstraction was all about boundless expressionism. Minimalists, Pop Artists, Formalists, and Geometric Abstractionists of 1960s were the key genre of the painters, who shifted to Lyrical Abstraction. Experimental, expressive, loose, pictorial, painterly, and abstraction were the key features of Tachisme.
The Correlation
Lyrical Abstraction resembles Abstract Expressionism and Color field painting, especially in the free usage of paints, exterior, and texture, resulting in similarly brushed, sprayed, stained, poured, splashed, and squeezed colors. Lyrical Abstraction was unique from the other painting styles of forties and fifties, because of its tilt towards composition and drama. Lyrical Abstraction is remarkably identified with compositional randomness, low key, peaceful compositional drama, and repetition.
Unfortunately, America accepted the term Tachisme quite late. However in 1989, the late Daniel Robbins, Union College Art History professor recognized the term and stressed that the term should be used, as it had a historical credibility.
Lyrical Abstractionists & Works: Some of the famous Lyrical Abstractionists were James Brooks, Helen Frankenthaler (Mountains and Sea - 1952), Albert Bitran (b. 1931), Arshile Gorky, Pat Lipsky (Spiked Red - 1970), Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, John Seery (East - 1973), Kenzo Okada, Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Norman Bluhm, John Levee, Ray Parker, Paul Jenkins, Cleve Gray, Jack Bush.

Western Art - Modular Constructivism - A Structured Style of Sculpturing
Modular Constructivism - The Concept
Dating back to over 5000 years, the history of Western Art has a colorful background. Right from the Prehistoric Period to the present generation, the Western artists, especially in Europe and Russia, have managed to spread and popularize their much-loved art form. Considered an invention of the 19th century Russian artists, Modular Constructivism, a style of sculpture, emerged during the 1950s-60s, which gained considerable popularity. This Western Art genre gained a new status against the other art forms, like Post Modernism and Pop Art. Modular Constructivism is all about intricate, multidimensional designs, complex, fluid curves, and structured patterns, often repetitive in style, representing the pattern of continuity in life and its myriad forms.
The Details
Constructive Paintings portray concrete forms and ideas. They are quite different from Abstract Fine Art forms and paintings. Constructivism rather conveys the mechanized side of everyday human life. It mainly relied on the active creation of our knowledge, experience, and understanding. The convex and concave aspects of biomorphic forms facilitating self-combination are the vital elements of this art form. The fundamental applies to plane and multidimensional surfaces, both. Flavored with Formalism and Minimalism, Modular Constructivism stood as a crucial pillar of sculpturing. Modular Constructivist works can be carried out on any material, cement, brass, steel, or plaster.
The Artists & the Artworks
American sculptors Norman Carlberg (1924) and Erwin Hauer (1926) were renowned artists who popularized Modular Constructivism during the 19th century. They are even called the fathers of the genre. Many priceless and genuine art creations by the famous Russian proponents of Modular Constructivism, such as Vladimir Tatlin (1885-1953) and Alexander Rodcheckno (1891-1956) can be viewed at art museums around the world. The 'Light Diffusing Wall Design' by Erwin Hauer, is an intricate design creation at Liesing Vienna in Austria. The enthusiastic works of Erwin Hauer encouraged many of his students and colleagues towards the new Modular Constructivism trend. Norman Carlberg's key works in the genre include a modular screen at the lobby of Baltimore City Hospital and a huge modular column at the Northern Parkway Junior High School.
Conclusion
As Erwin Hauer said, "Continuity and potential infinity have been at the very center of my sculpture from early on," Norman uttered, "you analyzed, you looked at something, but you looked at it formally just for what it was and the message was almost always out of it." The theory of Modular Constructivism relies on the realistic features of observatory powers and scientific studies. Nevertheless, this unique art form also had its share of controversies and disputes!

Can You Get A Culinary Arts College Degree Online?
The culinary arts field is an up and coming popular choice for new high school graduates and for those who presently work in the food industry and who want to make culinary arts their profession. As a result, many who choose the field of culinary arts are seeking to get a culinary arts college degree online. The question is, can your entire culinary arts degree be completed online?
The simple answer to this question is "no". There are culinary arts colleges who do offer a combination program of online classes and hands on, brick and mortar classroom work. The reason a culinary arts college degree cannot simply be completed online alone is because of the practical nature of what is being offered. A true chef in the making will not be satisfied with virtual cooking. It's great to watch a video on baking a wedding cake and take a test on it, but it is a totally different story to have to prepare that same wedding cake in the real world.
In addition, there are many stresses that the chef in the making will encounter while being in a hands-on environment. There are sights and sounds and deadlines to meet. There are waiters and waitresses calling out their orders and who are in a hurry to please their customers so they can make good tips. There may even be a staff for you to manage and their problems will become your problems. You need to have the hands-on experience to achieve a culinary arts college degree so attending a college that strictly offers online courses will not be good enough.
As a result, schools like the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Le Cordon Bleu offer a combination of hands-on and online courses. For example, most college degrees whether two year or four year degrees require a certain amount of credits that do not have anything to do with your field of study or major. Those might be courses like English, Math, Science or History which are required as basics. These types of courses can be successfully accomplished online. However, when it comes to mixing eggs, flour, water and sugar with a mixer, that requires a hands-on classroom environment.
You will want to visit http://www.culinaryartscollegesite.com for a great deal of information and a video of a culinary arts chef in action.
Culinary arts is a popular field and the job opportunities are becoming more abundant. If you have a goal in mind of becoming a top chef, for example, you will want to talk to the chefs, the owners or the personnel managers in some of the better restaurants or restaurant chains first to see where most of their employees come from. Perhaps they have a favorite school that provides the kind of training programs they like, be it an online college degree or a culinary arts college degree from a brick and mortar school. This may help you decide which college to choose.
If you do find an online college degree that offers a culinary arts program that is strictly all online, be wary. If you use common sense, it would only be reasonable to believe that it is better to learn something as hands-on as culinary arts by doing then to learn by watching or hearing. Bake your own cake and you will have much more of a chance of succeeding and being proud of your culinary arts college degree.
