POSSIBLE THESIS TOPIC PROPOSALS!
please please please please give me any comments, suggestions, ideas, brainstorms you may have by clicking on the "Blog Back!" Button!!
#1 Pickle Brine isn't Art (but it sure makes for some tastey cucumbers!) Would discuss preservation (pickle brine) vs. the creation of art (tasty cukes!) You'd think "Arts Organizations" by deninition would be on the cutting edge of creating culture. But lots of organizations (symphonies and museums) are preserving instead of creating art. I don't know where this would go - But I like the title!!
# 2 Will the Arts Survive without Arts Education? YES!! So why bother? Because it's good for you like lima beans? Because it's part of our heritiage? Because it's a way to express? Why do we pour money into arts education? (Would Math Survive without math education? YES! So why bother to teach math ?? I could possibly end up proposing that all schools be elimated (and that might not be such a bad thing!!!)
# 3 Untitled Something about arts existing in cultures all the time - - Art is expensive to learn and create - but people throughout history have devoted considerable time, energy, and money to creating "stuff". WHY? It must be importatnt. Do we need governemtn support? Why? Did the caveman making cave painting have an NEA grant? Is the US system of supporting artists more "natural" than the Eurpean system?
#4 Are Orchestras an Endangered Species? Are they dead? Can we save them? Are "graying audiences" an issue? (This one is the current favorite!)
