Cartier-Bresson also traveled the world and at the very least attempted to experience all these different cultures, and that is something that I desire to do one day as well. Lastly, what I think appealed to me the most was his technique and his images, as Cartier-Bresson managed to master the art of blending in, and by doing so took some astonishing photos that all broadcasts real emotion, and otherwise would go unnoticed. It can make one think about what other beautiful moments that pass one…

What is it that distinguished and ordinary bag of rubbish from a major work of art that just looks like a bag of rubbish? Can anything be art- and if so,what makes it art?

No, anything can 't be art because something to be called art or…

The moment that my father invested into a photo booth was the moment that I would begin to develop the skill of hard work. This skill would in time lead me to become a better person. Up until 2013, only occasionally would my guardian require my assistance with his work. I could either carry bags in or out of the house or support him in setting up. When my father bought a photo booth in 2013, that simple work that I did periodically would increase dramatically. I was not an experienced worker at…

The assignment prompt is to explore one big moment in my life in depth. I didn’t struggled a lot on finding the topic but I had hard time on developing a good narrative. In high school, I tried to avoid every narrative-related stories as I am not good at describing and expressing my own feeling and experience. This assignment was a detailed version of my photo essay. The TA feedback from the photo essay guided me to explore extra areas in my scout experience. Despite no peer reviews,…

society that’s exposed to the many advertisements that uses manipulative body images to sell yet they’re unreal. Many people don’t even notice what’s real and what’s artificial in these photos. Photoshop shouldn’t be argued if it is good or bad since it results in people suffering from low self-esteem, poor body images and to some extremity, eating disorders. Having low self-esteem caused by photoshop, makes girls feel like they have to achieve the ideal body that the picture portrays. Along…

Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their…

Her most notable protest was her cover of Glamour magazine, she called out the magazine at their own Women of Year award show, during her acceptance speech. “I felt my skin looked too perfect. I felt my hair looked too soft. I do not look like this when I wake up in the morning,” Gaga explained to the crowd. She rallied for women to “fight back against the forces that make them feel like they're not beautiful.” “It is fair to write about the change in your magazines. But what I want to see is…

Museum Paper After studying art and knowing that the field of Art is a very rich one. It is not as simple as most of people think. Art needs understanding and very strong feelings and talent to succeed in forging a piece that would be called a piece of Art. Art is like a science, it has elements and rules and those would affect the final outcome of any piece of work. Theses conclusion I came to understand, made my experience in the Dallas Museum unique and exceptional. However, the feeling of…
