Jacob H. Wooten, Reporter, Website Manager
March 21, 2017
We have learned to only view the visual and musical beauties of the Fine Arts without considering that not even our acting or dancing could be art. Performing Arts aside, Battle of the Art’s next observation is of the Applied Arts which has seen to be the most neglected of the artistic perceptions. De...

January 27, 2017
Performing is typically an art believed to be just an art rather than Fine Art. In reality, performing makes up its own art form which is the third art category that Battle of the Arts will observe.

May 23, 2016
Periodically throughout a year, book nerds absolutely spaz out over a new book and rave about it continuously.
