Hands The advertisement published by Mccann Erickson titled "Casa Do Menor," is not only traumatic to the eyes but disturbing to the heart while successfully capturing child abuse. The ill grasping hands that trap one into utter confinement are dark, eerie and haunting. The tag line, "Certain Things Hang on Forever", paints an extremely vivid image within one's mind while creating immense feelings within the viewer. It proclaims the truth that after such abuse, it becomes one with the victim.…

Art is a wonderful thing. Whether it be through a powerful film, a solemn photograph, or a spirited song, art can capture the human soul and struggle. John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, masterfully portrays the plight of the more than 350,000 people displaced by the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. As any great piece or art, The Grapes of Wrath creates empathy and change in the minds of its readers by revealing the hope and resilience held by the “Okies”, and exposing the wrongs and sorrow they…

brings financial rewards (Bourdieu & Nice, 1980). From this perspective, a good level of creative autonomy (whether or not it is superficial) is believed to be beneficial to both the industry and cultural workers themselves, as it produces a ‘belief’ in art, which conceals the bare face of commercialism. To date, these three approaches to cultural work have been primary foundation upon which the possibility of true creative freedom within the cultural industry has been denied. From such…

Entertainment is a form writing that can be read in silence, spoken out loud, acted out under a single stage light, heard from the mouths of the radio through music, seen in a dark theater, shown on the television, or quickly placed on the screens of a hand held device. It can be calming, loud, annoying, humorous, exciting, sad, and eventful. Entertainment is many things and has taken many shapes through the history of society. It would be implausible to say that entertainment has the capacity…

When visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston on February 20th. I was amazed as soon as I walked in. I had never been to a museum before and always thought I would be uninterested in what was displayed. It was very fun for me to see the differences in art throughout the ancient world. I also visited other collections throughout the museum but nothing was as interesting as the ancient world. It was surprising to me that the museum would be separated into different collections, I thought…

The Berwick Church in Charleston, England houses some of the most notable pieces of art manufactured by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant from the mid-twentieth century. The two were part of the well-known Bloomsbury Group, and their home in Charleston as well as their work on the Church constitute the remaining evidence of the group's involvement with each other outside of London. Grant's painting Christ in Glory sits above the Berwick altar, demonstrating how the Bloomsbury Group took traditional…
