Hey. Happy birthday! I hope you 've been having a great summer so far and it 'll be even better after your 17th! I kinda miss you and I 'm still hoping to get a text from you someday saying that we can give it another shot or start over but I 'm not expecting it. I really regret what I did. Everyday I regret it. I wish it didn 't happen. Good luck at GHP and with your subject SATs, and I already know you got a 5 on all your AP exams! I have no doubt that you will get a 5 on the national exams. I…

Today, my topic is about Korean drama. Korean drama is very popular in the world, especially in Asia. l am very interested in this phenomenon. According to my research, it can be divided into three types------middle-aged women, teenagers and sociologists. The first type is middle-aged women. Middle-aged women like to watch Korean drama. We should analyze the common characteristics in this age. Middle-aged women’s ages are between 35 to 55, and this type can continue to be divided into two kinds…

appropriation and how the progression of appropriation continued into Pop Art and what that could’ve translated into American society. I will look at appropriation in art to compare to the cultural values at the time and to go in depth about what it meant to Americans during the 1960s. During the 1960s, the time Pop Art was emerging in America, a war-consumed society was transitioning into a mass cultural embrace of media and art. Pop Art was the art of popular culture. It was the visual art…

Abstract art took centre stage and provided novel experience for the viewer. Leading exponent of the movement was Jackson Pollock who used a stick and dripped paint onto the canvas or sometimes splattered it directly from a can to create seemingly random patterns. People found it difficult to understand his works and hence the nick name “Jack the Dripper”. His most important work remains Blue Poles (1952). Other exponents of abstract art were Lee Kransner, wife of Pollock who created Cool…

f music, Rock & Roll, flourished throughout households in the 1950’s and 1960’s. This particular style of music appealed to teenagers at that specific time frame, however, Rock & Roll was quite distasteful to parents as it was believed to be a negative impact on adolescents. Jody Pennington and J. Ronald Oakley’s “Don't Knock the Rock: Race, Business, and Society in the Rise of Rock and Roll” depict the rise and fall of Rock & Roll and its social changes within the decade spiritually, physically…

and art, for this is a deep house cut. Take a listen to the subdued but punchy beats, the washes of synths that fade in and out. It’s like Pepe Bradock’s “Deep Burnt” (an unquestionable house classic) reimagined for the 2010s, with a Disclosure-esque pop spin on it. Truthfully, it’s brilliant, giving “Help Me Lose My Mind” a run for its money as Disclosure’s best song to date.…

There are few things I know for certain in this world. The sky is blue, everybody dies eventually, and I am gay. My parents were way more accepting of it than I expected. After spending nearly half my life in the closet, I let it slip out one night. Bowling, of all things. You have to understand— I’m the world’s worst bowler. I can’t throw the ball down the middle of the lane to save my life. And so, after yet another toss into the gutter, I turned around and announced to my parents that…

Andrew Warhola or famously known as Andy Warhol was one of the most popular painter, printmaker, and filmmaker of his time. Andy’s art was mostly directed towards the pop culture public. People who really took interest in his art were Hollywood’s famous actors and actresses. Also people of modern ideas and innovators really sprung towards his style. He grew up in a very religious family that spent most of their time in church. His parents were Slovakian immigrants and Andy was the youngest of…

The AGO exhibition for the Super Real: Pop Art from the AGO collection presented a variety of artwork from large silkscreen image to a cardboard burger sculpture sitting in the middle of the space. The exhibition has a small collection but has iconic pieces that are central to the story of the pop art movement of the 1960s. The works that stood out the most is the Andy Warhol’s 1963 Elvis I and II silkscreen painting. It showed 2 Elvis’ on one side with colour, then another 2 Elvis’ on one side…

When we think about a summer anthem that makes us want to dance and sing all at the same time “one dance” is very likely to pop up in the head of most people. Everywhere you turn you can hear this sexy, provocative song playing, and as hard as you try it hard to not sing along. “One dance” has received many awards this summer, and Billboard, a popular charting company has even named it the song of the summer. It has been number one on the chart for a consecutive 14 weeks. It keeps at No. 2 on…
