ART....
so to me the definition of art is basically displayed in the form of a painting, drawing, sculpture, or in music at all. it is a way to express one's feelings or passions without always having to use words.
i think it includes a huge variety such as child's finger paintings, Beethoven songs, famous sculptures, and the list goes on. it excludes sloppy work i believe, but everyone has their own opinion and judgment so i would have to say its up to them what they think is and isn't art. it therefore depends on the person, society, beliefs, and personality for them to determine if something is art.
there can be beautiful art and ugly art and it all depends on the person's outlook.

chron of narn vs. wiz of oz
after thorough discussion in class today i've come to the conclusion that the wizard of oz, is both cosmic humanism and post modernism.
each of these worldviews is portrayed and demonstrated in a number of ways in the movie.
in the chronicals of narnia, the movie the lion the witch and the wardrobe the view is basically christiantianity. the lion is a symbol to represent Jesus. when he lion is killed and slaughtered at the end it is suppose to show how Jesus was crucified for our sins.
what both of these movies share in common is that they are not actual reality cuz in one dorthy is in a dream and the other they enter the wardrobe into a mystical, magical, fantasy. therefore, both of these acknowledge that there is a real world, and that their "worlds" are fictional. yet in the movies, dorthy can clack her heels and come back to the real world and the 4 kids know that they can come back through the wardrobe. in each of these fake worlds the kids and dorthy feel very important and people ackowledge them. also they are both similar in the ways that they both look up to a "creator" or "higher power."

demon mammon: gold digger
In paradise lost, book 1, milton writes of mammon saying that he "led them on" and was "the least erected Spirit that fell." Even when mammon was in heaven his attitude and thoughts were always a lil crooked. for example, it says that he admired the gold and pavement and other rich looking things then the actual state of divineness and holiness in heaven. it is because of the fall of this disgusting demon, mammon, men decide to search the earth for gold and treasures and other earthly possessions.

wizard of oz: worldview
Unfortunately i own the movie, Wizard of Oz, but probally only have seen it once cuz it is my very very least favorite movie in the universe. After watching it once i had repetetive nightmeres of it and remember waking up running to my parent's room because the wicked song, "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS OH NOOO" was playing in my mind over and over.
so i really don't remember much of the movie at all except when they all sing that lil song that gave me many sick nightmeres.
anyways, after having much discussion about this movie i've basically concluded that instead of being christianity, cosmic humanism, or any other world view i think its postmodernism because of the following:
Dorthy thinks she can dissapear from reality by clacking her shoes.
They people feel like they need a powerful god so they choose the wizard but they'd be able to survive fine without him.
She has to make a choice between the yellow or red brick road and she chooses yellow which makes it okay just as if she chose the red too
