Our faith and our viewings and beliefs about art have an impact on our life that often goes unnoticed. Sometimes we go about life just letting things into our minds especially in a culture of TV shows and movies, and we are always changing based on what we think about and how we discipline ourselves. Dr. Berg’s session on Bladerunner made me think about the impact of entertainment on how we think about ourselves and humanity. Dr. Berg’s topic was Bladerunner, a science fiction movie about what…

and afterwards would force him to stand for hours after explaining his lack of good judgement. In 1925, he directed his first feature film, "The Pleasure Garden" (1925), a tale of adultery and murder, which displayed his future brilliance as a director.

Andy Warhol, who has come to be considered “as one of the 20th century’s major artistic innovators” (8-7), was not initially recieved with as much respect and admiration. The general opinion initially given to Warhol’s art is likely similar to the opinion Hap, the dairy farmer in “The soul of Capitalism,” would have held. Although Hap…

The first artwork featuring Virna Lisi represented the women’s movement that caught attention from the public. That particular movement wanted to get rid of women’s traditional roles and make them become more like their gender counterparts, men. I feel like this shouldn’t be a thing in today’s society.

Art from the Ground Up Art is everywhere, it surrounds us from the buildings we stay to the nature we enjoy. However, art in all its phenomena is still underrated to this day. As an Art major, I have been asked, “What can you do with art?” I have also been told that I will be a failure and poor for the rest of my life if I rely on art. These statements created an opposite effect. It was intended to discourage me but, instead it gave me the chance to prove people wrong. Art is not worthless, it…

In examining political agendas and critiquing art institutions and the power of the government, The Art Workers’ Coalition undertook a collective range of protests and political actions against these higher societies (Martin, 2004). On January 3, 1969, artist Takis Vassilakis removed one of his works from the Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) exhibition “The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age” (1969).

It invites viewers to examine the film and call attention to the film’s factitious constructs. In other words, art in Third Cinema raises issues to…
