Painting has been used throughout history to express spiritual and religious ideas, from mythological scenes on pottery to the frescoes of the <a href="/wiki/Sistine_Chapel" title="Sistine Chapel">Sistine Chapel</a>, to body art. Colour is highly subjective, but has observable psychological effects, although these can differ from one culture to the next. Black is associated with mourning in the West, but elsewhere white may be.

Moreover, the use of language is only a generalization for a colour equivalent. The word "<a href="/wiki/Red" title="Red">red</a>", for example, can cover a wide range of variations on the pure red of the spectrum. Unlike music, where notes such as C or C# are universally accepted, there is no formalized register of colors. However, the <a href="/wiki/Pantone_448_C" title="Pantone 448 C">Pantone</a> system is widely used in the printing and design industry to standardize color reproduction. Modern artists have extended the practice of painting considerably to include, for example, <a href="/wiki/Collage" title="Collage">collage</a>. This began with <a href="/wiki/Cubism" title="Cubism">cubism</a> and is not painting in strict sense. Some modern painters incorporate different materials such as <a href="/wiki/Sand" title="Sand">sand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cement" title="Cement">cement</a>, <a href="/wiki/Straw" title="Straw">straw</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wood" title="Wood">wood</a> for their texture.

What distinguishes the humanities from the <a href="/wiki/Natural_science" title="Natural science">natural sciences</a> is not a certain subject matter, but rather the mode of approach to any question. Humanities focuses on understanding meaning, purpose, and goals and furthers the appreciation of singular historical and social phenomena—an interpretive method of finding "truth"—rather than explaining the causality of events or uncovering the truth of the natural world.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Apart from its societal application, narrative imagination is an important tool in the (re)production of understood meaning in history, culture and literature. Imagination, as part of the tool kit of artists or scholars, helps create meaning that invokes a response from an audience. Since a humanities scholar is always within the <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nexus" class="extiw" title="wikt:nexus">nexus</a> of lived experiences, no "absolute" knowledge is theoretically possible; knowledge is instead a ceaseless procedure of inventing and reinventing the context a text is read in. <a href="/wiki/Poststructuralism" class="mw-redirect" title="Poststructuralism">Poststructuralism</a> has problematized an approach to the humanistic study based on questions of meaning, intentionality, and authorship.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute">dubious</a> – <a href="/wiki/Talk:Humanities#Dubious" title="Talk:Humanities">discuss</a>] In the wake of <a href="/wiki/Death_of_the_author" class="mw-redirect" title="Death of the author">the death of the author</a> proclaimed by <a href="/wiki/Barthes" class="mw-redirect" title="Barthes">Roland Barthes</a>, various theoretical currents such as <a href="/wiki/Deconstruction" title="Deconstruction">deconstruction</a> and <a href="/wiki/Discourse" title="Discourse">discourse</a> analysis seek to expose the ideologies and rhetoric operative in producing both the purportedly meaningful objects and the <a href="/wiki/Hermeneutic" class="mw-redirect" title="Hermeneutic">hermeneutic</a> subjects of humanistic study. This exposure has opened up the interpretive structures of the humanities to criticism that humanities scholarship is "unscientific" and therefore unfit for inclusion in modern university curricula because of the very nature of its changing contextual meaning.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute">dubious</a> – <a href="/wiki/Talk:Humanities#Dubious" title="Talk:Humanities">discuss</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pleasure,_the_pursuit_of_knowledge_and_scholarship">Pleasure, the pursuit of knowledge and scholarship</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Humanities&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Pleasure, the pursuit of knowledge and scholarship" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Some, like <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Fish" title="Stanley Fish">Stanley Fish</a>, have claimed that the humanities can defend themselves best by refusing to make any claims of utility.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> (Fish may well be thinking primarily of literary study, rather than history and philosophy.) Any attempt to justify the humanities in terms of outside benefits such as social usefulness (say increased productivity) or in terms of ennobling effects on the individual (such as greater wisdom or diminished prejudice) is ungrounded, according to Fish, and simply places impossible demands on the relevant academic departments. Furthermore, <a href="/wiki/Critical_thinking" title="Critical thinking">critical thinking</a>, while arguably a result of humanistic training, can be acquired in other contexts.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> And the humanities do not even provide any more the kind of social cachet (what sociologists sometimes call "<a href="/wiki/Cultural_capital" title="Cultural capital">cultural capital</a>") that was helpful to succeed in Western society before the age of mass education following World War II. Instead, scholars like Fish suggest that the humanities offer a unique kind of pleasure, a pleasure based on the common pursuit of knowledge (even if it is only disciplinary knowledge). Such pleasure contrasts with the increasing privatization of leisure and instant gratification characteristic of Western culture; it thus meets <a href="/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Habermas" title="Jürgen Habermas">Jürgen Habermas</a>' requirements for the disregard of social status and rational problematization of previously unquestioned areas necessary for an endeavor which takes place in the bourgeois <a href="/wiki/Public_sphere" title="Public sphere">public sphere</a>. In this argument, then, only the academic pursuit of pleasure can provide a link between the private and the public realm in modern Western consumer society and strengthen that public sphere that, according to many theorists,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">who?</a>] is the foundation for modern democracy.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Others, like <a href="/wiki/Mark_Bauerlein" title="Mark Bauerlein">Mark Bauerlein</a>, argue that professors in the humanities have increasingly abandoned proven methods of <a href="/wiki/Epistemology" title="Epistemology">epistemology</a> (I care only about the quality of your arguments, not your conclusions.) in favor of <a href="/wiki/Indoctrination" title="Indoctrination">indoctrination</a> (I care only about your conclusions, not the quality of your arguments.). The result is that professors and their students adhere rigidly to a limited set of viewpoints, and have little interest in, or understanding of, opposing viewpoints. Once they obtain this intellectual self-satisfaction, persistent lapses in learning, research, and evaluation are common.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Romanticization_and_rejection">Romanticization and rejection</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Humanities&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Romanticization and rejection" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Implicit in many of these arguments supporting the humanities are the makings of arguments against public support of the humanities. <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Carroll_(scholar)" title="Joseph Carroll (scholar)">Joseph Carroll</a> asserts that we live in a changing world, a world where "cultural capital" is replaced with <a href="/wiki/Scientific_literacy" title="Scientific literacy">scientific literacy</a>, and in which the romantic notion of a Renaissance humanities scholar is obsolete. Such arguments appeal to judgments and anxieties about the essential uselessness of the humanities, especially in an age when it is seemingly vitally important for scholars of literature, history and the arts to engage in "collaborative work with experimental scientists or even simply to make "intelligent use of the findings from empirical science."<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> Despite many humanities based arguments against the humanities some within the exact sciences have called for their return. In 2017, Science popularizer <a href="/wiki/Bill_Nye" title="Bill Nye">Bill Nye</a> retracted previous claims about the supposed 'uselessness' of philosophy. As Bill Nye states, "People allude to Socrates and Plato and Aristotle all the time, and I think many of us who make those references don't have a solid grounding," he said. "It's good to know the history of philosophy."<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> Scholars, such as biologist <a href="/wiki/Scott_F._Gilbert" title="Scott F. Gilbert">Scott F. Gilbert</a>, make the claim that it is in fact the increasing predominance, leading to exclusivity, of scientific ways of thinking that need to be tempered by historical and social context. Gilbert worries that the commercialization that may be inherent in some ways of conceiving science (pursuit of funding, academic prestige etc.) need to be examined externally. Gilbert argues: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">First of all, there is a very successful alternative to science as a commercialized march to 'progress.'
