 Introduction

During this article, we will be talking about mass media and

the arts in the UK.

The art refers at the expression or application of human

creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such
as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated
primarily for their beauty or emotional power

as we know in Europe is the continent where art has been

influenced more than anything since the Renaissance, the
history of the arts in the United Kingdom has always been
interesting in my opinion.

Mass media refers to a diverse array of media

technologies that reach a large audience via mass
communication. The technologies through which this
communication takes place include a variety of outlets.
Broadcast media transmit information electronically via
media such as films, radio, recorded music, or television.

Around this writing we will see more in detail about these

artistic movements, as well as everything about the mass
media.
 Mass media in Uk

The United Kingdom possesses one of the most universally respected and widely read
national presses80 percent of adults regularly read at
least one national daily newspaper and 75 percent
read a Sunday edition. In addition, despite growing
fears among many journalists and academics about
the consequences increased concentration of
ownership and the growing ability of governments to
"spin" the media, the British press remains one of the
freest and most diverse in the world.

History

England's first news periodicals, called corantos,

circulated in the 1620s. During the next few decades,
English notions of the liberty of the press began to develop, and with them visions of the
press as the bulwark of freedom against would-be tyrants. This vision helped to inspire
more than a century of reform movements that resulted in the gradual elimination of state
repression of the press.

Daily newspapers in the nineteenth century typically consisted of four to eight pages of
closely typed columns of often-verbatim reports of parliamentary debates or speeches by
prominent statesmen. The most influential paper in the mid-century was the
London Times. Following the repeal of the "Taxes on Knowledge," a provincial press
flourished, as new titles joined such older papers as the Manchester
Guardian and Yorkshire Post. Combined with London papers, such as the Morning
Post and the new Daily Telegraph, a sober and editorially diverse press existed that some
observers have pointed to as a "golden age" for the British press.
 Television in Uk

Conventional television broadcasting in the United Kingdom began in 1936 as an

advertising-free public service, and the launch of
television and the first tests that began in 1922
have also begun. At present, the United Kingdom
has free, free viewing and subscription services
through various distribution media, through which
more than 480 channels can be provided for
consumers and on-demand content. There are six
main channel owners who are responsible for most
of the material viewed.

The annual production of 27,000 hours of domestic content costs 2.6 billion pounds. [nb
2] Since October 24, 2012, with the end of analog transmission in Northern Ireland, all
television broadcasts in the United Kingdom have been in digital format. . Digital content
is transmitted via terrestrial, satellite and cable, and IP. As of 2003, 53.2% of households
watched via terrestrial, 31.3% of households watched via satellite, and 15.6% of
households watched via cable. The Royal
Television Society (RTS) is a British-based
educational charity for the discussion, and
analysis of television in all its forms, past,
present, and future. It is the oldest television
society in the world
 Broadcast television is distributed as radio waves via
terrestrial or satellite transmissions, or as electrical or light
signals through ground-based cables. In the UK, these use
the Digital Video Broadcasting standard. Most TVs sold in
the UK (as well as much of the rest of Europe) come with a
DVB-T (terrestrial) tuner. Following the financial failure of
digital terrestrial pay TV service ITV Digital in 2002, UK
digital terrestrial TV services were rebranded as Free view
and do not require a subscription. Set-top boxes are
generally used to receive channels from other providers.
Most services have integrated their broadcast TV services
with additional video streams distributed via the Internet, or
through their own Internet Protocol network.

My favorite TV show is Skins, which was recorded in the UK, as is Bridgeton, and there
are many movies like About Time and A clockwork Orange. all the TV shows and movies
I've seen and were recorded in the UK have captivated me, just as the music here I like a
little more than the music and movies of the United States.
 Music In Uk

Throughout history, the United Kingdom has always been the main producer and
birthplace of music creation. Its early artistic foundation
comes from church music and the ancient and traditional
folk music and musical instruments of England, Scotland,
Northern Ireland and Wales

Each of the four countries in the UK has its own unique

and diverse forms of folk music. This form has flourished
until the industrial age began to be replaced by new
forms of music, including concert halls and brass bands

Many British musicians have influenced modern music

on a global scale, and the UK has one of the largest music industries in the world. Global
music widely developed by British music includes pop music,
rock music, and sub-genres of the genre; avant-garde music,
new wave, acid jazz, new soul music, travel jump, dubstep
and industrial music. n the 20th century, influences from the
music of the United States, including blues, jazz, and rock
and roll, became entrenched in the United Kingdom. The
"British Invasion"—spearheaded by Liverpool band the
Beatles, often regarded as the most influential band of all time saw British rock bands
become highly influential around the world in the 1960s and
1970s.
Pop music, a term which originated in Britain in the mid-1950s as a description for "rock
and roll and the new youth music styles that it influenced”,
was developed by British artists like the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones, whom among other British musicians led rock
and roll's transition into rock music. Subgenres of rock
developed or invented by British acts include progressive
rock, raga rock, psychedelic rock, art rock, hard rock, space
rock, heavy metal, glam rock, gothic rock, and ska punk.

I've usually heard UK music, such as Amy Winehouse, arctic

monkeys, queen, David bowie, the Beatles, dua lipa, among
others. I like music from these regions too much, especially
arctic monkeys since I had long felt relaxed, they helped me
feel better and I couldn't see them when they came to the pa'l
norte fest I would one day like to be in uk and enjoy the music
and art that are here, because, there are more varieties of all
culture in literature and museums, more opportunities in
music, among other things
 Art in United Kingdom

The Art of the United Kingdom refers to all forms of visual art
in or associated with the United Kingdom since the formation
of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 and encompass
English art, Scottish art, Welsh art and Irish art, and forms part
of Western art history. During the 18th century Britain began
to reclaim the leading place England had played in European
art during the Middle Ages, being especially strong in
portraiture and landscape art. Increasing British prosperity led
to a greatly increased production of both fine art and the
decorative arts, the latter often being exported. The Romantic
period resulted from very diverse talents, including the
painters William Blake, J. M. W. Turner, John Constable and Samuel Palmer. The
Victorian period saw a great diversity of art, and a far larger quantity created than before.
Much Victorian art is now out of critical favour, with interest concentrated on the Pre-
Raphaelites and the innovative movements at the end of the 18th century.

The training of artists, which had long been n

eglected, began to improve in the 18th century
through private and government initiatives, and
greatly expanded in the 19th century. Public
exhibitions and the later opening of museums brought
art to a wider public, especially in London. In the 19th
century publicly displayed religious art once again
became popular after a virtual absence since the Reformation, and, as in other countries,
movements such as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Glasgow School contended
with established Academic art.
The British contribution to early Modernist art was relatively small, but since World War II
British artists have made a considerable impact on
Contemporary art, especially with figurative work, and
Britain remains a key centre of an increasingly
globalized art world.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) achieved

considerable influence after its foundation in 1848 with
paintings that concentrated on religious, literary, and
genre subjects executed in a colourful and minutely
detailed style, rejecting the loose painterly brushwork
of the tradition represented by "Sir Sloshua" Reynolds.
PRB artists included John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
and Ford Madox Brown (never officially a member), and figures such as Edward Burne-
Jones and John William Waterhouse were later much influenced by aspects of their ideas,
as was the designer William Morris.

In many respects, the Victorian era continued until the outbreak of World War I in 1914,
and the Royal Academy became increasingly ossified; the unmistakably late Victorian
figure of Frank Dicksee was appointed President in 1924. In photography Pictorialism
aimed to achieve artistic indeed painterly effects; The
Linked Ring contained the leading practitioners. The
American John Singer Sargent was the most
successful London portraitist at the start of the 20th
century, with John Lavery, Augustus John and William
Orpen rising figures. John's sister Gwen John lived in
France, and her intimate portraits were relatively little
appreciated until decades after her death. British
attitudes to modern art were "polarized" at the end of
the 19th century.
Post-modern, contemporary British art, particularly
that of the Young British Artists, has been said to be
"characterised by a fundamental concern with
material culture ... perceived as a post-imperial
cultural anxiety".The annual Turner Prize, founded in
1984 and organized by the Tate, has developed as a
highly publicized showcase for contemporary British
art. Among the beneficiaries have been several
members of the Young British Artists (YBA)
movement, which includes Damien Hirst, Rachel
Whiteread, and Tracey Emin, who rose to prominence
after the Freeze exhibition of 1988, with the backing
of Charles Saatchi and achieved international
recognition with their version of conceptual art. This
often featured installations, notably Hirst's vitrine
containing a preserved shark. The Tate gallery and
eventually the Royal Academy also gave them
exposure. The influence of Saatchi's generous and
wide-ranging patronage was to become a matter of
some controversy, as was that of Jay Jopling, the
most influential London gallerist
