Jackman states that if you truly want to be an artist that you will do anything to try and create something. For example, Jackman uses a quote from Mary Frank, she sates “for me, the reason to do art is that it is compelling. Art is a drive, a very complex desire and need, urgency and…

The work of photographer Jeff Wall utilizes previous art in order to give his photographes meaning. One of Wall’s pieces of art is A Sudden Gust of Wind, and it takes inspiration from another famous piece of artwork by Hokusai named Ejiri in Suruga Province. The two pieces of art share a very obvious resemblance to each other being that Wall’s purpose was to recreate Hokusai’s previous work. Wall finds a very similar landscape to take his photo at, and he even finds a similar tree. The…

It was after my 3 years of school in American, I realized that my dream to learned art could be possible. Over the past four precious years, I begin to see art as an integral part of my life. Having been buried in the influential and lively air of artistic creation, my point of view on art and culture has been modified. I do not learn and practice art; in fact, I live art. I go about expressing my feelings, aspirations and view points through my artistic creations. The most distinct trait of the…

Szarkowski’s “The Photographer’s Eye”, discusses the transition at the beginning of the age of photography. One of the most striking statements he made was the fact that photography has made impacts on modern artists. Not only has it affected fellow photographers, but also painters, sculptors, and even writers. Being able to look at actual still photographs long after the moment it was taken has completely changed the way most people look at the world around them. Photographers are considered…

The Limit and the Power of Representation It was in my sophomore year that for the first time I saw the movie, Hibiscus Town. Vividly imprinted in my mind are the two devastated souls cleaning up the street and their being condemned publicly against the wall full of propaganda scribbles in the Hibiscus Town. Indeed, this cinematic representation informed me of the knowledge I already or did not yet know about the Cultural Revolution—how irrational a political movement could become, and how…

All these tests were made by using “Port View” on the robot.“Port View” can be found by going to “Utilities” on the robot’s screen. Then going over to the port that the color sensor is connected…

To begin with, my view of art has changed, for I now know that it may not only be a painting or sculpture, but also a building design or a cultural artifact. Objects such as masks, pieces of clothing, and blueprints allow the audience to admire and realize that art has many forms and shapes which represent their heritage and importance in their time. For instance, the outstanding way that Jeff Koons demonstrates the importance of art and its surroundings with his artwork Puppy, located in Spain.…
