However, research into its meaning, or even motivation, is rarely undertaken. The author attempts to confront existing definitions of artistic recreation with changing trends in spending free time and types of recreational activity. She emphasizes the role of a creative approach to the organization of recreation as an opportunity for the better utilization of its potential to affect the development of the individual personality. To illustrate the values of artistic recreation and a creative approach to its organization, the author analyzes the case study of WI-MA Creative Industries Establishments. Keywords: recreation, creativity, creative recreation, artistic recreation, creative leisure, city of Lodz. 1.

Reforming Recreation Abstract A college campus is always in motion, and its students are rarely still. In this surrogate village, certain buildings have only a particular set of uses and users, so students are constantly moving around to find the av rious places, spaces, and faces that offer them the knowledge, rest, sustenance, and entertainment they need—ideally a little bit of each, conveniently offered in various locations, throughout their day.

  • Benefits of a Strong Parks and Recreation System
    A STRONG PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR A THRIVING COMMUNITY Four out of five North Americans use their local recreation and park system. 70% have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home. Our parks are such a stable influence on our lives that we tend not to give them much thought. But our effective parks and recreation facilities do not just happen on their own. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve. HEALTH BENEFITS: Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. Strong evidence shows that when people have access to parks, they exercise more. Every time sedentary people walk a mile, they add 21 minutes to their life. On average, every hour you spend exercising increases your life expectancy by two hours. Exercise increases the brain’s capacity for learning. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: Parks, open spaces and trails play a key role in preserving water and air quality, reducing congestion and protecting wildlife. Through the provision of parks, open spaces and protected natural environment, recreation can contribute to the environmental health of our communities. Trail and pathway systems save energy and protect air quality by encouraging non-motorized transportation. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Parks and Recreation sources give communities a vital identity. Well- maintained, accessible parks and recreation facilities are key elements of strong, safe, family-friendly communities. When citizens get involved with their parks and recreation systems, their quality of life improves. Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities – as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students.

  • Resource-Based Outdoor Recreation
    Resource‐Based Outdoor Recreation Activity Definitions Outdoor recreation, broadly defined, is any leisure time activity conducted outdoors. Within the vast range of such a definition lies an almost unlimited number of possible activities, from wilderness camping to neighborhood playground use and outdoor performances. This wide range of activities can generally be subdivided into “resource‐ based” and “user‐oriented” recreation. Resource‐based outdoor recreation is dependent on a particular element or combination of elements in the natural and cultural environments that cannot be easily duplicated by man. In contrast, user‐ oriented recreation can generally be provided anywhere, assuming the availability of space and funds for development. This document provides activity definitions for a narrowed down list of outdoor recreation activities that are commonly provided on Florida’s conservation lands. Generally, many activities not included in this list can be grouped into one of the activity types that utilize the same resource. For the purpose of planning outdoor recreation, some commonly identified activities, such as walking for pleasure have been omitted entirely because of the inability to practically measure and plan for the resources needed to support the activity. Bicycling Horseback Riding Camping Hunting Canoeing/Kayaking Motorized – OHV Riding Freshwater and Saltwater Boating Nature Study Freshwater and Saltwater Fishing Picnicking Freshwater Swimming Saltwater Beach Activities Hiking Visiting Archeological and Historic Sites Bicycling Bicycling as a recreational activity is the simple act of riding a bicycle in an outdoor setting for the enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure of participation. Common bicycling activities are mountain biking, road cycling and bicycle touring. These activities differ from the utilitarian usage of bicycles for transportation, in that they are participated in for the enjoyment of natural and cultural resources.

  • ​ ​Art History: Art Recreation Challenge
    ​ A​ rt History: Art Recreation Challenge Lesson Goal:​ Students will closely observe a piece of art and replicate the color, shapes, and forms they notice using ordinary items. Assignment: ​Recreate a famous painting using household items! This is a fun virtual challenge inspired by the Getty Challenge​ created by the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Below is an example made by a family. They used wooden beads, Play Doh and carrot slices to replicate Vincent Van Gogh’s painting “Irises”. Activity: ​1.​ ​Choose a piece of artwork to focus on. You may pick from the pre-selected images on the second page or do your own search using the museum links with a guardian. 2. Observe the piece of art and brainstorm verbally or on paper what you may have to replicate the image. Some things to think about… - What is the focus of the artwork? - Are there people in the art, if so, what are they wearing? What does their facial expression look like? How are they posed? - What colors and/or texture do you notice in the art? What do you have that might be able to replicate what you see? 3. Start recreating and have fun! This is a great time to work on your project with a family member. 4. Take a photo of your work and share! Reflection: ​Take some time to reflect verbally with a family member or individually on paper. Guiding Questions: What was the most difficult part of the artmaking process? What is the most successful part of your recreation? (a certain object, color, space, etc.) Would you pick the same piece of artwork again? Why or Why not? Did you start to look at the artwork differently when you knew you were going to replicate it? How so? Picking a Piece of Art to Replicate Check out the resources below to pick a painting to replicate.

    The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; The Art of Controversy by Arthur Schopenhauer The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; The Art of Controversy by Arthur Schopenhauer THE ESSAYS OF ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER: THE ART OF CONTROVERSY TRANSLATED BY T. BAILEY SAUNDERS, M.A. CONTENTS. THE ART OF CONTROVERSY-- 1. PRELIMINARY: LOGIC AND DIALECTIC 2. THE BASIS OF ALL DIALECTIC 3. STRATAGEMS ON THE COMPARATIVE PLACE OF INTEREST AND BEAUTY IN WORKS OF ART PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE WISDOM OF LIFE: APHORISMS GENIUS AND VIRTUE page 1 / 120 TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. The volume now before the reader is a tardy addition to a series in which I have endeavoured to present Schopenhauer's minor writings in an adequate form. Its contents are drawn entirely from his posthumous papers. A selection of them was given to the world some three of four years after his death by his friend and literary executor, Julius Frauenstaedt, who for this and other offices of piety, has received less recognition than he deserves. The papers then published have recently been issued afresh, with considerable additions and corrections, by Dr. Eduard Grisebach, who is also entitled to gratitude for the care with which he has followed the text of the manuscripts, now in the Royal Library at Berlin, and for having drawn attention--although in terms that are unnecessarily severe--to a number of faults and failings on the part of the previous editor. The fact that all Schopenhauer's works, together with a volume of his correspondence, may now be obtained in a certain cheap collection of the best national and foreign literature displayed in almost every bookshop in Germany, is sufficient evidence that in his own country the writer's popularity is still very great; nor does the demand for translations indicate that his fame has at all diminished abroad.
