When I Am A Photo Analysis

Superior Essays
I am a girl. I am a girl that came to another country for school. I am a girl that is constantly thinking and wanting to explore the Earth. I am a girl that is not willing to give up on her dreams. I am creative and smart. I have good and bad qualities. I am human. I chose two types of media to show these “I am characteristics” and that I believe represent me in a positive way.
I chose a photograph of a woman sculpture carved onto a rock on a coast. For choosing my image, I started off by researching images on the internet that were motivational and inspirational. However, most of the images that appeared were inspirational quotes or biblical verses. I eventually found some landscape photographs and I picked this I first was drawn to it

The color and the beauty of the waves crashing against the shore would still convey that landscape beauty. The photograph just wouldn’t be as questionable and intriguing as it is now. I wouldn’t change anything; I love the photograph the way it is. It’s clear, beautiful, intrigues me and makes me think. I paddleboard, swim and love music, so the photograph represents me well. I also, have sparked an interest in photography recently, especially photography nature and landscapes. I express creativity and the photograph makes me wonder which is what I love doing in my life.
The video I chose is created by a person on YouTube; a guy took certain clips from the animated move Monsters University and combined it with blank slides of text. The fifty second video gives a motivational message on how to succeed with subtle background noise. The messages throughput the video are work hard, get good grades, study hard, practice and you’ll succeed. I not only chose the video because of the motivational message but, also, because Monsters Inc. is one of my all-time favourite animated

Without art and beauty of the human being the picture wouldn’t be as inspirational. I personally think that art makes everything more beautiful, especially how the sound of the waves and the symbolic means of the harp create music. It’s the simple things in life that are more meaningful and enjoyable.
The creativity shown in just a simple coastal landscape photograph and a little animated cartoon proving hard work pays off is extremely important to me. After analyzing these media, I realize I am a girl that won’t give up on her dreams. I am girl that loves art and love the oceans never will stop loving it. I come to the conclusion that I have to be grateful for the little things and breathe in each moment of life. Nothing comes easy, but, I have to tell myself even though I get a bad grade or hateful comment by someone, I cent let that stop me from following my

It started out as a hobby, but soon, I immersed myself into the world of art by integrating art with medicine. I have always found medical dramas to be particularly intriguing. Developing into this interest, I started writing my own medical journal, where I took notes from a book called Gray’s Anatomy and from the medical dramas I watched.…

    I chose to write about Frank Lloyd Wright’s house, Falling Water. At my funeral, I want people to know that I chose this piece of art because it was how I wanted to live my life. Sturdy and firm but lost in a forest of life and nature. The architecture of the house represents the different changes in my life and how the light that shines through the house, tells a story about no matter which way I turned or how bad it was, there was always a way to see through it. The water that rushes underneath represents how I had tranquility with my life as well as almost disconnecting to the outside world.…

    Art reveals how an artist felt or interpreted an event during their time. Somewhat like how John reads Shakespeare, John is reflecting on Shakespeare’s feelings and perceives it in his own way. Also the fact that Mond constantly tries to crush art shows that art is a representation of individuality, going directly against his utopian beliefs. Mond specifically tries to rid the utopia of individuality which is revealed and attributed to art. Art is a blank canvas for those with creativity and individuality.…

    As a child, my summers consisted of “cooking food for the soul” and creating skits with my younger brother at Gran-Gran’s, my great-grandmother’s home. Her home is where I learned to cook the best macaroni and cheese, dressing, and banana pudding in the world! I also perfected my own banana nut pancakes. On any given day, while the food was in the oven, my brother and I would sit in her basement, writing a new script or song, and rehearsing it nonstop. When we moved from Michigan to Nevada in 2008, my creative side went into full gear.…

    Music is a movement of freedom, a way of expression through different genres and styles, and an art of creating new things without boundaries. Music is a very important element in the story of Sonny’s Blues, where it expresses a feeling of freedom and relaxation in the life of Sonny. In James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues," the theme of family relationships runs throughout the story. Thematically, we also see reference to the artist and his art. While the family relationship between the brothers is a strong thematic element that impacts Sonny as a musician and a person, what draws me more is the concept of the struggle between the artist and his art.…
