FREE POST: FIRST SEMESTER IN COLLEGE

My first semester in colllege was challenging but a learning experience. It is a little more work then high school but I like all the free time and being able to study on my own. I enjoyed all my classes and I've learned to open up more to different people but at the same time be self- dependent. You have to get your work done accurately and on time or you will NOT pass. I really looked forward to coming to your class twice a week. Art 1201 expanded my mind greatly.

art and film

An art film (also called “art cinema”, “art movie”" or “art house film”) is typically a serious, noncommercial, independently made film or a foreign language film that may have these qualities, but may have been made by a major company in its home territory and achieved popular success.

It may thus be aimed at a niche audience, rather than a mass audience,or the use of subtitles in foreign language films may limit audience appeal.

EXAMPLES ARE.... The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ,Punch Drunk Love,I'm Not There , AND Oldboy .

PUBLIC ART

The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that has been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the physical public domain, usually outside and accessible to all.

Some forms of public art are designed to encourage audience participation in a hands-on way. Examples include public art installed at hands-on science museums such as the main architectural centerpiece out in front of the Ontario Science Centre.

HIP HOP IS A CULTURE BECAUSE...

Culture is learned. The members of a culture share certain ideals, which shape their lives
Culture is shared, by which we mean that every culture is shared by a group of people . A gradual change is characteristic to almost every culture. Cultures are subject to change.

• HIP HOP IS DIVERSE- MANY PEOPLE PARTICIPATE AND LISTEN TO IT REGARDLESS OF RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, OR SEX.
• HIP HOP CAME AROUND YEARS AGO AND IS PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS. IT HAS CHANGED AND DEVELOPED OVER TIME.

WOMEN IN ART

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUDIoN-_Hxs

Women are the sources of life. We are the birth givers, the nurturers, the mentors and the molders of the present and the future.
Since the beginning of humanity, women have been worshipped, adored, cherished and admired. They also have been defamed, castigated, condemned, abused, maligned, raped and murdered.
Women are lovers, wives, mothers, healers, writers, artists, inventors, queens, princesses, presidents, administrators, tradespeople, laborers, aviators, astronauts, navigators and soldiers. They serve many and give to all walks of life, yet they are more than mere mortals because they remain the source of all life.

Because women are so much to so many, they have been depicted on cave walls and in oil portraits. They are a favorite subject of artists in all genre since they represent beauty and bounty, mayhem and madness, courage and constancy, seduction and sex, nakedness and style. They are the world to the world.

BALLeT

Ballet is creative,beautiful, and expressive. It requires alot of work,commitment, and strength. Many people do not respect dancers but they truly are talented and create art with their bodies.

TATTOOS

A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.

I like tattoos and I recently got my first one done this month. It didnt hurt bad at all like people said it would. Tattoos are a way of expressing one's personality and beliefs.

Human condition in art form

The human condition refers to the distinctive features of human existence. As finite and mortal entities, there are series of features that are common to most human lives, and some that are inevitable for all. These features and the human response to them constitute the human condition. However, understanding the precise nature and scope of what is meant by the term "human condition" is itself a philosophical problem.

My Left Brain, My Right Brain

Right Brain vs. Left Brain

Definition
This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain
LogicalSequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

Right Brain
Random
Intuitive
HolisticSynthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes

I chose this topic because people hardly realize what is needed to run a household and what it would be like if we didnt have these items.

Fashion as art

WHAT IS FASHION??

Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most of people of a country. A fashion usually remains popular for about 1-3 years and then is replaced by yet another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily except the changes.
A clothing style may be introduced as a fashion, but its use becomes a custom after being handed down from generation to generation. A fashion that comes and goes is called a Fad.
During the mid-1800's, a mass production of clothing was made fashionable and available to more people for lower prices. This encouraged more people to wear more stylish clothes which is why we are wearing what we are today.
Clothing is made out of all types of matieral such as cotton, rayon, spandex, and polyester,and they are just a few used. Some clothing may even be made of 2 or more different types, this is known as " Blending."

A few reasons why fashion is still relevant:
It shows your thinking is modern and flexible (e.g. willing to accept and process new ideas).
Fashion has escapist qualities to help you deal with the pressures of the world (For example: your country may be at war, but you've "escaped" by dressing in the season's fluffy ruffles that make you look like you don't have a care in the world).
Everything you put on sends a message.

HUMAN BEHAVIOR

Human behavior is the collection of behaviors exhibited by human beings and influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport, hypnosis, persuasion, coercion and/or genetics.

• LOVING YOUR CHILDREN




• SURVIVAL(SEX, FOOD,WATER,ETC.)




• SOME TYPE OF SUCCESS OR STABILITY




• ACCEPTANCE AND LOVE




• STRESS

Why I believe this film is a work of art

Precious is a good movie. It filled me with happiness and sadness but it is a work of art. It showed human condition and struggle. Precious had alot of problems throughout the movie. She had two children at the age of sixteen, she had been repeatedly raped and abused by her mother, and she contracted HIV through her father raping her several times. Thee movie displayed minorities as a culture and obstacles they try and overcome every day. All Claurice "Precious" wanted to do was live an average teenage life and she wasn't able to. This film truly touched my heart.

Dance

Ciara is a great artist and dancer. She came out about five years ago with the single "My Goodies". Ciara just recently came out with a new video "Work" featuring Missy Elliot. It consists of her doing jerk type dance and hip rolling. A url of this video can be found here -----------------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZYUnvjKR-k

• Dance consists of many different elements and styles
• lots of dancers are amatuers along with those who have some training
• dance is a way of expressing oneself and ones thoughts
  

On the Graffiti beat... is it art or not??

Graffiti is a way of expressing oneself..Its vibrant, fun, and full of life. Just as traditional art shows a conflict or struggle so does graffiti art just in a different way. Minorities and younger people usually participate in graffiti art and it is usually seen in lower income neighborhoods. I believe it us awesome and creative but it should not harm nice buildings.

This music video is a true work of art

This video is a true work of art because of the costumes, colors, and dances. I love Michael Jackson and this video is so artistic and creative. He is a great performer and the words are romantic. Look at how he disappears into the floor and uses egyptian type qualities to make the video realistic.

I know what art is....

Art is an expression of ones emotions and feelings. It displays a struggle, a heartbreak, lies and deception. Art is beautiful and bold. It can not be judged by the stanndards of a single person. Art can ignite an intense feeling inside someones heart or mind. Maybe because of the situation it displays such of war, hatred, or discrimination. It is time suspended in form of paint, scuplture, or sketch. I love art and it is a big part of my life. Displayed in my home are African works and painting of African American men and women. Art is culture and culture is art. It may come in many different colors, shapes, and identities but one thing it has in common is that it's beautiful.

FAVORITE ARTIST

My favorite artist of all time is Mariah Carey. She is beautiful and so is her voice. I feel like she is extremely down to earth and can be funny at times. I'm not so much impressed by her new music but more by her older albums such as Rainbow and Number 1's. I also love her movie Glitter. It's really feminine and cute. At the end I cried when her boyfriend died. MC loves butterflies and so do I. I eventually plan on getting a tattoo of one. She took me by surprise when she married R&B singer Nick Cannon. They're a cute couple but I never would have expected them to be together. Hes soo young and naive and shes much more settled.

Im having a catharis

Love is a very strong and confusing emotion. It shows us at our best and defines us as our worst. We do crazy and remarkable things for the ones we love. Me and my boyfriend Cameron Dion Holtzclaw met over four monthes ago and ever since then he has made me a very happy person. He keeps me laughing at uptight times and helps keep me on track when I start to lead astray. Were theyre for each other regardless of what happens. Many people may say im too young to have found love but I know one thing. He steps in when everyone else in life steps out and I hope we make things last.
