Human nature in art form


So often I have heard people say that a picture says a thousands words. In this case, this picture sums up the human nature in one click of a digital camera. The human nature that we as humans posses is good. When trouble arises its a result of bad influences from our environment. I chose this picture because it show the loving nature of human, an essential part of the human nature. We by nature love, but by experience and influences hate.

Human Condition in art form


This staircase at first glance seems to have no connection with the human condition. But once I sat there and really thought and analyzed its meaning, the connection was undeniable. A staircase is the perfect example of the human condition. No matter how far we go up and progress, there is always steps we can take to go higher and higher. The perfect and most desirable human condition will never be reached just like the top of the stairs in this picture. This picture correlates to the human connection almost identically. Just like in these steps the improvement of the human condition should be a daily step-by-step process.

The Media is a culture because...

The media and its many off-shoots are considered a culture to me for a number of reasons. The media world as a whole fits the definition of a culture through its behaviors, beliefs, institutions and works. The people who are involved and employed by media institutions all have this certain atmosphere around them that influences there views and outlook on life similar to that of a legitimate culture.

The art of Dance


Dance is a form of the arts. Like a pretty picture by Van Gogh, or a awesome sculpture by Auguste Rodin, dance is just as appreciated and effective. Through the graceful movements of the human body things can be portrayed and expressed. By way of dance art can be exhibited and seen for the greatness is encompasses.

Artist in Society


Weird is the role, expectations, recognition, and appreciation of the many gifted artist of this world. They give us so much inspiration, creativity, and talent through their art, yet they go mostly un-recognized. We as people of this ever changing society fail to see what we are losing when we do not embrace and support the art and the artist. Many things plaque the artist of today. The lack of money, and studio time are some of the things they deal with constantly. When society sees what artist have given, are giving, and will give, then they can be fully seen as great talents.

Human Behavior Art Form

Humans act and behave in very unique manners. The behavior of humans has always been unpredictable since the beginning of man. This painting, Motomichi, shows how at times the behavior of humans can be so cruel and ugly. This ugly and disfiguring painting shows how be as humans act so ugly toward our fellow man. We can lie, steal, and kill without any shame or guilt. We as humans sometimes can grow cold-hearted and behave in ways that are so contrary to the goodness and love we so often teach about.

Human struggle in art form

Since the existence of human beings, there has always been a struggle between many and various opposing forces and conditions. This picture to the right is a perfect example of the everlasting human struggle. This woman on the streets with her kids show how just the most basic concepts of just surviving is a component of the human struggle. Human always find a way to beat the struggle, improve, and progress though this picture to the right seems like a pessimistic outlook on life humans will persevere.

My favorite artist: Aaliyah

From age 12 when she signed a deal with Jive Records, to her untimely death Aaliyah was a one of a kind artist with a unique voice and grace unlike any other artist at the time. During her short life she worked with the likes of Missy Elliott,Timbaland, and R. Kelly. She also released three very sucessful albums that obtained high praise and record sales across the world. Unfortunately, in 2001 she and eight others were killed in a plane crash. At the time of her death she was reaching unprecedented sucess at such a young age and had already been dubbed the "Queen of Urban Pop".

Smoking

My opinion is very strong when it comes to smoking...Don't Do It! Smoking is the most dangerous legal thing I think that is out there. It is truly one awful habit to continue. If anyone ever ask me to ever have a smoke, I do not think my reaction would be pleasant. And the thing that bothers me the most about is that not only when you smoke are you harming yourself (which is your business), you are harming others more severely. Second hand smoke is more dangerous than first hand. My opinion is if you are going to smoke, smoke in a private area and not where others can be harmed. The act of smoking just makes me cringe. I simply just do not like smoking. O and let us not forget what it does to the lungs. It damages them and causes black tar build up and eventually lung cancer. What good comes out of anything involving smoking?

The Ultimate Driving Machine

Wow what do I say. The BMW is a priceless driving machine. It is a beautiful, sleek, and breath taking brand of automobile. No matter what year or what style, the company seems to produce a extraordinary car every year. It has truly earned its title as the ultimate driving machine. Every since my mom was a child, she has wanted a BMW, and she has now passed on the legacy. She has got one and now, for me, getting a BMW is a must have. I love the car from the inside and out. It has proven to show performance through its style and also under the hood. It is art form in the shape of a car. BMW...The Ultimate Driving Machine. Enough said.
