I believe that he embodies something different then all of the other artists I have studied thus far. As I was searching through the various pictures on the internet of his sculptures, I was truly stunned at how life-like they look. With each sculpture I looked at I took on a different set of emotion every time. When looking at the dead body one I instantly felt sad, disturbed, and a little dark and twisted. When I looked at “Ghost” I felt her pain and insecurity as it is written all over her face.…
Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, the general of the Mexican army, was intelligent, dynamic, ambitious, and egocentric. He was so smart that he dropped out of school and quit his apprenticeship to a merchant because he was intellectually unchallenged. In relation to this, Anna never stopped moving; if he did, he would collapse into a spiral of gambling and wenching. To say the least, he was quite the vehement man. Anna, as described by Donald J. Mabry, had an “immediate concern to be on the winning side in any battle… switching allegiance never troubled him.”…

Are traditional nuclear American families really the most encouraging families compared to any other families or ethnicities? As stated in the article, “The Color of Family Ties” by Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarkisian, “Commentators often emphasize the disorganization and dysfunction of Black and Latino/a family life. They suggest that if we ‘fix’ family values in minority communities and get them to form married- couple households, all their problems would be solved” (51). In other words, commentators believe that if unmarried Black and Latino/a families or single parents found a soul mate and married that there will be fewer complications within their family. However, Gerstel and Sarkisian claim, “Even if they don’t live together,…

Rodriguez may agree with some of Percy’s points but, he also has the ability to rebut them especially when it comes in regard to his case. To get started, Percy viewed the separation between Rodriguez and his family as a loss of who he is.…

This is shown particularly well by the use of colour and strong thick layers of paint, which reflect the strong ruthless brutality of the concentration…
I also chose him because I like the colorfulness of his art. Each piece of his work has different elements of color, making it more intriguing. His artwork was very abstract and usually depicted human faces. I also think it’s interesting that Pablo Picasso (and Georges Braque) co-founded…
