I Feel Fine

He does this I feel to display that the Houses of Parliament are these grandiose, magnificent, profound pieces worthy of attention due to their architectural and political greatness, while the actual environment and people of London are dismal and in depression.

apart the dresses in her closet that she refuses to wear, and covered by texts that line every inch of the wall. Pedro Almodóvar’s 2011 film The Skin I Live In, adapted from Thierry Jonquet’s 1984 novel Tarantula, tells the story of Vicente/Vera, played by Jans Cornet and Elena Anaya, who is imprisoned in the mansion of a deranged plastic…

The recent trend of cutting funding to art programs in public schools who are financially strained has sparked and interest in the impact of art programs on the wellbeing of students. This has led to a debate centered around whether or not fine arts education are beneficial enough to the students and staff to continue fighting for funding. Opposers argue that the money could be used in academics and that the arts provide no real life skills that are applicable after graduation. With more and…

Architecture When I read this first chapter of my arts and culture book I realized how fascinating and important art is. Art is in everything we do whether we know it or not. It’s in every object we contain and building/structure we have ever seen. It’s also different in every culture and it a good way to communicate feelings, culture, and customs to others. An example of this I found when reading was on page 16. It was Tim Hawkinson’s Bear sculpture before I read the description I had a sense…

In this essay I will be looking at the two designers, William Morris and William H. Bradley. They have each had a huge impact in their respective artistic fields during the 1800 and 1900’s. I am investigating their respective inspiration, philosophy as well as how these inspiration reflected in their work. How will these two designers have an impact on how I perceive artwork that is expressed in my photography? I am giving a short history on both William Morris and William H Bradley to…

Art is a influential mode of communication as it has the power to be a direct reflection of the cultural conditions surrounding the artist at the time of the arts creation. Art shows a side of history rarely portrayed in ancient textbooks. I has the ability to lay bare the subconscious opinions, values, and beliefs of individuals and cultures that the individuals and cultures do not even recognize in themselves.

I am grateful that my exposure to art came at an early age. I used to sit in my father’s kitchen, mirroring his movements as he sketched scenes from life in Mississippi. My sister and I would think of titles for his paintings as they dried on the living room floor. My initial curiosity for his work eventually developed into a genuine desire to explore the arts further. After finding my own path through art history, honing my artistic skills, and expanding my knowledge of different cultures, I…

interest in film began when I met a movie, “The Mummy” in 2000. The director, Stephen Sommers, filmed this action and adventure movie about Egypt in 1999. This film told me different ethnic culture and it gave a shock to my heart. The mummy had the fast pacing with a lot of action, comedy, and special CG effects. It was my first time to watch the Egyptian culture movie and was interested. I was raised and grew up in Japan, where ninety percent of the population is Japanese. I have never…

that of their peers through analytical and critical writing-became an increasingly common practice among artists during the 1960’s. This was perhaps a consequence of the sudden increase in accessibility of university education and graduate degrees in fine arts in the mid 20th century. One such writer-artist was Dan Graham, who consistently published various written works related to his artistic production over more than four decades, tracing his journey through curation, performance,…
