I knew that not only was I about to experience art in general, but that I was about to see art from all over the world, from hundreds of different societies and time periods. Art ranges from the primitive inscriptions on wood to large silver shrines; from the pyramids of ancient Egypt, to a child's drawings. Artwork takes many different forms and while everyone has their own style and taste, it is too difficult to measure the true worth of art. What is simple and most worthwhile advice for anyone interested in art is to see the beauty in all of it. When I proceeded to my first exhibit I was, honestly, mildly amused.
Joshua Holmgren Art 101 12/03/2012 Art Museum Evaluation When I first learned that I would need to write an evaluation paper for class, I was less than excited. However, after spending the time in the class learning about the different styles of art, their influences and origins, I was able to enjoy my visit to the St. Louis Art Museum much more richly than I ever had in the past. I have always enjoyed visiting the Art Museum. Unfortunately, my lack of knowledge of the subject left me there simply looking at the paintings, sculptures, fabrics and exhibits without being able to see it with a critical eye, or to even truly appreciate what the artist was trying to capture in their piece. In this paper I will be sharing my thoughts
1 How Black Pride produces Poverty. By Chanda Chisala One of the main things that have kept black people at the bottom of most measures of human development is the feeling of shame they have at copying the cultures of other people. In many black American communities, for example, a person who works very hard and reads a lot is stigmatized for “acting white.” They want to preserve “black pride” at any cost. This particular problem with school can not be found virtually anywhere in Africa itself, the “motherland” of African Americans. The culture of Africa in that area comes from the influence of Christian missionaries who brought and emphasized education to Africans very long ago.
The Georgia Aquarium, to me, is one of the top five places to visit because it offers visitors the chance to view beautiful and exotic species that they have never seen before in their life. It also gives adults a chance to enjoy themselves and become kids again. Therefore, the Georgia Aquarium will always be the number one attraction in Atlanta, Georgia. The Aquarium is unlike any other aquarium. When walking inside the atrium, it feels as though you were standing inside a new mall just looking around because you do not know where to start.
The other jurors neglected the details in the story and that is what made Juror 8 stand out from the rest. He was able to use critical thinking and analyze the details that were over looked. With that being said, that is where the other jurors lacked in critical thinking. They over-looked the details, which never goes great with critical thinking. One cannot assume and utilize critical thinking.
But in defense, Mencken states that many jobs are unpleasant, which is so. Everyone at one time has a complaint about their job and something unpleasant about it. He also argues that there is not any evidence that a hangman complains about his job, and that he has known many who delighted in their ancient art, and practiced it proudly. The second point against capital punishment is that it is useless, for it does not deter others from the same crime. Mencken states that this is another point that is uncertain and can be argued.
Hearing about slaves is terrifying and is something. John W. Blassingame seems to be a great author but by reading only one book about him does not give me a full description about him. I really do not read a lot, and I do not have a favorite author. But one thing I know is that it would not be someone who writes about slaves, even though not all authors are against slavery. I do not like to get reminded of how dark and terrible slaves spent their pure life suffering by their cruel punishments like whipping or getting killed to stop the problem right away.
“TO remind of pass/ Which isn’t mine.” Indicates where Skrzynecki had tried to fit in with the museum but the tone of sadness and depression show that he had failed to connect with the new culture and country. While he walked out the museum, Skrzynecki used direct speech “Would you please sign the Visitor’s Book?” to reinforce tyhe idea that the old woman in the museum doesn’t understand or care about him, “sign the Visitor’s Book” shows the old woman only cares about her job, she is indifferent to his feelings or why he is leaving. This makes it clear Skrzynecki (had been isolated by the museum—which becomes a symbol of his dislocation from Australian. The red thing in Shaun Tan’s short film “The Lost Thing” is disconnected and isolated in any place. When the huge red thing is sitting in the dark corner of a small house, the boy’s parents are doing their work under the
It was bulky and colorless, therefore not aesthetically pleasing. The artist used a concept that had been done many times before and will be done many times again. To be completely honest, the piece was boring. My personal favorite piece, Hide and Seek, though I am partial to it, I do not believe is canonical art either. The fact is, most modern art, which is what these pieces are, is not canonical.
I heard about something called sharecropping, so I might look into that, although many seem to get stuck in debt with it. It seems like my old work, where I was working under an owner, and I probably won’t have my family during sharecropping, either. (We were separated during our slave life). I guess for now I’ll just continue to try to adjust to my life and not cause trouble in society, even though it’s hard considering the discrimination. I think the Reconstruction did not really do anything for us former slaves after the plan ended.
