The “king of pop,” Michael Jackson, went solo and became one of the most successful artist in the music industry. This fact is from Encyclopedia Britannica, which is a source that’s trusted by most teachers, unlike Wikipedia, which is one of the least trustable sources among teachers because it contains information that some random person could have just written it without knowing the right information.

Art Appropriation was when Georges Braques and Pablo Picasso appropriated objects from a non-art context into their works. But is appropriation of an already made artwork or ‘thing’ considered plagiarism or ‘stealing’? Many artists who appropriate claim that their…

Freshman year, I was painfully shy and I built a persona of a tortured artist to cope with the fact that I felt weird and ostracized. Being an outsider feels better when it’s a choice, and it was easy to make myself feel special when what everyone else was talking about just didn’t “speak to me.” Art has always been important to me, but while wallowing in the teen angst, I expected that one must suffer to be considered a true artist. In cultivating that image, I reacted to what should have been…

Similarly to the 1920s, artist were experimenting with ways to modernize their music, and searching for improved ways to entertain. However, the focal point of the 2000s artist, is to appeal to the listener through songs of love and romantic relationships.

GRAPHIC DESIGN? The central theme to this essay is to discuss and prove how the ‘Swinging’ 60s has impacted modern British design; this will be achieved through extensive research into the culture and artists that were prominent in the decade.

The 1960s was a colourful decade for Britain, following the aftermath of the Second World War; Britain was just finding it’s footing…

Growing up in a dominantly white neighborhood I was exposed to mostly hard rock and pop music. My father would play old hard rock albums on his cassette player whenever he would be driving. I favored listening to hard rock thinking it’s what men listen to, unlike the songs that pop stations would play. I did not pay attention to hip hop until junior high, where my exposure to it grew on a daily basis. As the years go by, I recognize hip hop as my genre of choice when listening to music. Not only…

Project Proposal “Pop is everything art hasn't been for the last two decades. It's basically a U-turn back to a representational visual communication, moving at a break-away speed...Pop is a re-enlistment in the world.”-Andy Warhol I have always been drawn towards Pop Art.
