The photograph and painting I chose to write about is about Queen Elizabeth. The photograph of Queen Elizabeth was taken in 1952 by Beatrice Johnson and it shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a beautiful crown,a yellow patterned dress, with a sash, and diamond jewelry. In the picture the queen has a slight smile not showing any teeth because, it’s a type of picture where…

Beauty is self-conscious throughout her work with sensuality becoming an all-important part of the viewing process. The numerous pastels, fluid camerawork, and contemporary soundtracks have often been dubbed as the Coppola “Dreamscape.” On the surface, these “dreamscapes” are incredibly inviting. Viewers are forced to feel instead of watching…

wrestling coaches would be their appearance. Some coaches look more alike than others, but Falcon and Esvelt are opposites. At first glance, Falcon looks cold and angry. His demeanor scares freshman and even me sometimes.

Women with straight hair envy women with curly hair because their hair seems beautiful and carefree. They imagine that those with curls simply shampoo and condition their hair. They allow the curls to dry and they are out the door. The fact is that curly hair requires a lot of tender loving care because of its very fragile nature. The curly haired girls complain about hair that is uncontrollable and lacks moisture. This is due to the nature of the hair and shampooing the hair too often. Another…

One major beauty standard these days would be the pressure for both men and…
