THE ROLE OF VISUAL ARTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM (WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SAGARNAD REGION)

The present paper focussed on the Role of Visual arts in the development of Tourism. Today, tourism has become an industry. In this the action-processes of special important people are involved. It contains important economic, social and educational issues. This complexity is transforming tourism from just a hobby into a vital central force of contemporary society. That the role of visual arts is very important in the development of tourism has been realized through some art forms of Sagarnadu, a province of Karnataka.

Visual arts: imagining a shanzhai city in twenty-first century China

Since 1978, China has experienced an unprecedented urban and economic growth under the central government's imperative to become a global power. Whereas the central government aimed to showcase its success through ambitious infrastructure projects, distinctive skylines, and spectacular waterfronts, local officials pursued this national goal through the construction of copycats, gated communities, and theme parks and towns. From miniature Eiffel Towers and extravagant residential units to entire themed villages, local authorities and real estate developers have integrated local and global milieus as a quick-fix to upgrade the urban experience and satisfy the taste of the Chinese middle class. Despite the extensive literature in the fields of architecture, urban and social studies, the role of visual arts in the analysis of this unique urban practice has not been explored yet. Hence, this article fulfils the gap by investigating what I refer to as shanzhai (copycats) places in Mainland China through their second-hand representations in the contemporary artworks by Xiang Liqing, Zhang Peili, Hu Jieming, and Yang Yuanyuan. Through qualitative, empirical visual analysis, fieldwork and semi-structured interviews with selected artists, I explore the overlaps between visual arts and these urban phenomena to identify the dynamics and urban actors involved in space-making and suggest that private estates, copycats, and theme parks and towns do not oppose the official narrative; rather, they are localised interpretations of the national dream. Against the dominant practice of building spectacular cities, this article explores how the city could be envisioned and reproduced in the future through the selected artistic practices.

Peirce, Bierstadt, and the Topographic Imagination in Nineteenth-Century North America

A passage in a letter serves as a starting point for an exploration of the relationship between the philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce and the painter Albert Bierstadt, taking into account their extended friendship, business partnerships, and respective practices of visual representation. The letter contains Peirce’s description of a painting by Bierstadt that he possessed, which sets the stage for an investigation of his systematic philosophy and a comparison of his existential graphs with the oft-noted “effects” of Bierstadt’s grand canvases. The latter, finally, help to unpack the ethical role of visual art within Peirce’s thought.

Do You See What I See? The Role of Visual Arts in Health Care Education.

The universality of visual arts can be used to facilitate inventive and interdisciplinary approaches to open the lines of communication between learners, educators, and health care providers to improve patient outcomes. Arts-based training programs have been implemented successfully in higher education as part of a growing awareness of the need to develop interpersonal skills of health care professionals to be able to deliver respectful and compassionate patient care. Visual thinking strategies (VTS) is a student-centered methodology using facilitated art-based discussions to create inclusive discussions. VTS-based programs may be successfully developed for continuing multidisciplinary education of health care professionals with the goals of improving communication and team building.

Exposições blockbuster: mecenato privado e política cultural no Brasil

Qual é o papel das artes visuais na sociedade contemporânea? Como as determinações econômicas se relacionam com a produção, distribuição e fruição artística? Como as políticas culturais fomentam a experiência estética e quais setores da sociedade as impulsionam? 
 Essas são algumas das perguntas que mobilizam a reflexão em torno das exposições internacionais de arte que aportam no Brasil desde a década de 1990, e que dinamizam o setor cultural provocando um fenômeno de visitação crescente na história brasileira. Nesse sentido, a proposta deste trabalho é fazer um balanço preliminar acerca dos aspectos políticos, econômicos e sociais da arte, bem como apresentar algumas informações acerca das exposições blockbuster para que sejam identificadas interfaces da circulação desses eventos artísticos com o contexto contemporâneo.

Keith Haring, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Wolfgang Tillmans, and the AIDS Epidemic: The Use of Visual Art in a Health Humanities Course.

Contemporary art can be a powerful pedagogical tool in the health humanities. Students in an undergraduate course in the health humanities explore the subjective experience of illness and develop their empathy by studying three artists in the context of the AIDS epidemic: Keith Haring, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Using assignments based in narrative pedagogy, students expand their empathic response to pain and suffering. The role of visual art in health humanities pedagogy is discussed.

Art and Cultural Identity

This paper analyzes aspects of Egyptian history, including unique qualities that influenced the Egyptian culture and gave it its identity that has developed throughout the years until today. It will also discuss Egyptian visual arts and its critical role throughout history, including how arts have appeared and developed over Egypt’s lifetime and influenced the Egyptian citizen. Furthermore, this research sheds light on the effects of every political change that took place in Egypt, and how that could be a mirror of the Egyptian civilization, its development and its decline while considering the role of visual arts throughout and after the revolution of 2011. Analyzing Egyptian culture, education, technology, internet and multimedia after the revolution can be imperative to understand the cultural identity and the role of visual arts in Egypt. Thus the mutual relationship between arts and the Egyptian cultural identity will be questioned, along with the way that they impact each other, and finally, how both of them could play a key role in developing Egypt after the 25th of January, 2011 revolution.

The role of visual art in enhancing perceived prestige of luxury brands

Does visual art enhance the prestige of luxury brands? To test the integration effect of luxury brands and art, we conduct two studies using the Louis Vuitton (LV) brand. This paper shows that visual art enhances consumers’ perceived prestige value, including perceived conspicuous value, perceived unique value, perceived quality value, and perceived hedonic value, but that it has no effect on perceived extended self. Further, this effect is strengthened when the price of the product is between 25 and 50 % higher than the price of a comparable product.

Art as Socio-political Voice: Feminist and Graffiti Art

The role of visual art in socio-political life has been well documented in art history. But art has radically become a mode of expression of individual and mass personality's mental aptitudes after the Second World War in whose climate pop-art came about to challenge the concept of value. In the same manner, the anthropologist-philosopher Foucault rightly put it, Philosophy should listen to the screams from streets. In this paper I will only highlight the case of feminist and public mural painting for its immediacy and substantive-ness. The muralists and the feminists believe that their voice or right must be recognized as social and political force. The painting project RIBBON I have chosen as an excellent case is a collective work (53'x 9') of Professor Mary Scott's students in the Department of Art at EPC College, Fall Semester of 2010. Each of these artists has different themes, but together they are united in socio-political climate. The ribbon apparent in their work as a symbol unity expounds a strategy of inter-subjectivity.

Unbowed and Unbroken

This article is an interview with former Provisional Irish Republican Army active service volunteer and current Sinn Féin activist and visual artist Danny Devenny. Culled from interviews conducted in Belfast between 1998 and 2000, during the Northern Ireland peace process, Danny Devenny reflects on the role of visual arts in the republican movement and discusses how public images framed the IRA prison struggle, connected republican communities to their history and traditions, and helped lay the groundwork for the successful politicization of Sinn Féin.

Art and the brand: The role of visual art in enhancing brand extendibility

We investigate a tool, namely visual art, which enables firms to increase the extendibility of their brands. Extant research proposes that successful brand extensions depend on favorable brand image and high perceived fit between the brand and the extension category. We propose that the presence of art has a positive influence on brand image (via a transfer of luxury perceptions from art onto the brand) and enhances perceived fit (via increased cognitive flexibility), resulting in more favorable brand extension evaluations. A pilot study and two experiments demonstrate that the presence of visual art favorably influences brand image perceptions and enhances perceptions of category fit. Mediation analysis reveals that together these factors explain the influence of visual art on brand extendibility.
