Amy, Amy, Amy. Adobe Photoshop, Amy Winehouse portrait. To make this Pop art inspired artwork, I simply used a picture of Amy Winehouse and manipulated it on Adobe Photoshop to make it look similar to the Marilyn Monroe pop art by Andy Warhol. The source of my inspiration was the Pop Art movement, more specifically Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s soup repetitive pop art. The reason why this movement inspired me to do my artwork is because I like it. It is very pronounced and…

Chapter twelve ***Carson 's P.O.V*** I was sitting on a bench eating my sandwich because none of my friends had come out of lunch yet. I saw Oliver come and sit next to me. He looked at me, an unreadable expression on his face. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I smiled. "Of course you can. " He frowned slightly. "Um, imagine, hypothetically, that there was a boy who was with his friends and they weren 't nice. Do you think that the boy could change?" I chuckled. "Are you talking about yourself?"…

Justin started home when he noticed the mountain in the distance and felt the urge to visit once more. "After today, I am not going back up here," he promised riding across the field to the flat where he had left his bike on previous visits. Slipping and sliding he scurried up the steep mountainside while trying to be quiet. From time to time, he grabbed the bushes to keep from sliding backward. When he arrived at the mines, he moved the boards covering the entrance. He stepped inside, shined a…

Dearest Zayn; I wanted you to know that everything you 've done for me--I couldn 't be more grateful. I don 't know if I could ever repay you, but writing this letter to you sure makes me feel a lot better because I took so much from you. I feel at home and I feel like I belong. I 'm surrounded by culture and I 'm surrounded by family, which is all I ever wanted. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity, and I still think about you everyday. You 're the reason I 'm here.…

to their music, we all acknowledge and respect their status in music and cultural history.” – Gina. The Beatles were revolutionary for incorporating Blues and Soul music, which were traditionally considered African American genres, into mainstream pop music and in doing so produced a hybrid sound that appealed to young people (now all people) across racial, cultural, and socioeconomic lines. When I asked Gina if she feel close to people who listen her type music, she answered that she don’t…

is showing just that in “I Love You with My Ford” he is critiquing the time we live in today as American consumers. Rosenquist is bringing to light the codes and conventions of the 1960s by painting these “items” one after another. Along with other pop artist of the day Rosenquist appropriates and remixes common images and by doing this he is creating new meanings by juxtaposition. Although the images by…

could relax and talk, and frankly enough, I doubt that being 'sneaky ' will get us anywhere good. I 'm only being honest, if that 's okay with you. However, I 'll do it anyway." She smiled, connecting her iPod to the sound system turning on some pop song.…

Jeremy, I did have a dream last night. I went around to different stores buying 12 plants, but James kept trying to helping me and following me around and I kept wondering where the fuck is Jeremy, like always. I even landed back in his apartment and his boyfriend’s stuff was everywhere, of course he kept trying to kiss me and the whole time I was basically yelling, “WHERE IS JEREMYYYY” ... “You have a boyfriend!!!” … “Where is JEREMY???” Hoping yes, you’d bust in and say, “Come on!” No, I…

contradictory. His most solid evidence comes from his discussion on capitalism and disco, as he goes into capitalist theory strictly by defining it and its purposes and relating it to disco. His other solid ‘evidence’ comes from his interpretations of rock, pop, and disco songs and sounds to describe the three characteristics of disco. For example, he examines some Diana Ross songs, such as Ain’t No Mountain High Enough through the lens of romanticism, with its ‘heavenly choir and sweeping…

“When do you guys want breakfast?” is the normal group text for the Wallwork study group on Saturday mornings. The group is made up of old friends that went to the same high school and some new ones we met along the way. The first responses come within the hour and as college students the time agree on is well past normal breakfast times at 11:30 am. With the time set, we head to Folgers dining hall. Some of us are wide awake and others look like they rolled out of bed the minute before. Today…
