    After the film had aired, both Theo van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received thousands of death threats, which resulted in the murder of Theo Van Gogh and the seclusion of Hirsi Ali. According to some scholars, Theo van Gogh’s troubled history with the Muslim community justified the leaders blaming the film that for spreading Islam phobia. Theo van Gogh was a well-known Dutch filmmaker/author and is the great grand nephew of the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. Unfortunately, Theo van Gogh was not famous for his well written books or inspiring documentaries but rather for his controversial outspoken opinions on Muslims, Jews and Christians or as I say the “former Donald Trump” of his time.…

    Samuel Gomez's work attracted me more than any others. Looking at his work we can predict how much effort he put on it. His works are just filled with black and white ink. It seems like he has lot of experience working with contrast colors and that he has come up with the best use of black and white. It is amazing to see his use of lines, and shapes.…

    The subject matter of Paul Strand’s Porch Shadows is abstracted by limitations of the artist’s preconceived techniques. Strand isolated the subject’s basic formal elements to make it an aesthetically pleasing photograph and nothing more. Anyone can photograph an object, yet it takes a trained eye and a defined strategy to reduce the object into an abstract form. Porch Shadows exemplifies the Modernist shift in photography by rejecting previous conventions of artistic expression and adopting a style that focuses on line, shape, and tonalities rather than the subject matter itself. The Modernist shift becomes evident by analyzing the formal and technical elements of Porch Shadows, as well as Paul Strand’s background in photography.…

    The work that I have chosen from a previous discussion would be Pic Island by Lawren S. Harris which is held at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. This piece of art I have always enjoyed looking at. I find calming paintings very nice to look at, I'm not much into the whole scary dark and stormy art pieces that people have made in the past. Everyone has an opinion on what the world looks like to them, many don't actually create what is called art, but when someone does, it’s their expression and their creativity that many enjoy to looking at.…

    The piece that I chose from Rita Letendre is called “Sun Force”. I chose this piece because it symbolizes a critical change in her style. I made my painting about my graduation day when it felt like I had many feelings exploding inside me. Furthermore, this was her first large scale painting so she did not have any experience with painting on that building wall. Just like her I don’t have much experience in painting, specifically with watercolour, which is why I ended up using the wrong type of paper too.…

    The artists I chose to compare and analyze are Hung Liu and Guillermo Gomez-Pena. These two artists specifically stuck out to me on this list because of the cultural nature of their work. I saw a lot of different faces and portraits as I was browsing each artist, but these two especially caught my eye. I believe they stood out to me in such a way because both of their works are extremely vibrant. While a lot of the other work involved observation from a distance, these two artists almost exclusively portray their subjects from a very close distance.…

    Although things are not as extreme as Farrell states in his essay in regards to music being a lower class activity [a step above prostitution], similar observations are still relevant today. At least in my personal experience, individuals that go in the “arts” are looked down upon and are often “joked” to not ever receiving a stable job. Nowadays, artists of all kind struggle to make ends meet due to the instability, and when stable, not a stable enough income. I couldn’t have agreed with you more, Aaron. Even though in the United States, we do not follow a “system” that India has, it’s interesting to see how the arts is always at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of “societal priorities.”…

    The pieces that I picked from each artist were one of the pieces ‘Built Environment’ made by James Castle and the piece ‘Evening at Kuerners’ made by Andrew Wyeth. Both artists have their own way of expressing themselves through their work. James Castle was amazingly creative with how he made his art. Each piece he made helped express himself since he was unable to do it himself. Any material that he found was the base of his artwork.…

    The artwork The Parc Monceau made in 1878 by Claude Monet is an oil on canvas painting. The painting is 28 5/8 inches horizontally by 21 3/8 inches vertically. I discovered this piece of art online through the Metropolitan Museum of Art website located in New York, New York, along with many other of his art pieces, but this one I appreciated the most. The Parc Monceau is a representational and figurative painting because it depicts scenery we see in real life as well as people just slightly out of focus in the work.…
