The art piece that inspires me for my personal production task is from a little known artist by the name of Alice Pasquini. Pasquini builds a cultural identity for independent women through her colourful and objective street art pieces. She achieves this through her depictions of individuals, usually female or children, with explicit facial expressions commonly painted upon old unwanted walls. The facial expressions of these characters speak their story and identity aided by the refined and unusual painting style and the varying colours used to produce them. She inspires me from her bold, bright and profound artworks that are so characteristically distinguishable as being her style that they are hard to be mistaken as someone else’s work, this sense of identity through style is incredibly intriguing as a way of expressing ones individuality.
Huffiington’s article was one that successfully executed the ideas and convince her audience to agree on her stance due to the content within her supporting details. Her ethos was dominant all throughout the article in her references to figures more credible than she. She quotes, “ ‘The campaigns can sort of distract reporters throughout the day by helping fuel these mini-stories, mini-controversies,’ said the New York Times' Jeff Zeleny” (Huffington 4). The reference to a person that works in a prestigious publishing company urges the reader to believe that the idea being argued by Huffington is indeed correct. Huffington also draws in her audience through a specific tone, that which casualizes and personalizes the article, almost as if listening to a person speak.
Thus, it is useful and necessary for feminists to understand the concepts of abjection and the monstrous-feminine, as well as how they intersect and relate to one another. Cindy Sherman’s work provides a useful opening into these complex theories. It is my assertion that through techniques such as hyperbole and alienation, depictions of the monstrous-feminine in Sherman’s Sex Pictures create a productive space for discussing and understanding Kristeva’s concept of the abject. Before tackling Kristeva, it will be useful to more fully explain Barbara Creed’s notion of the
Do they mention anything you think potential employers would want to hear more about? The profile is nice. I like how she put key words that accentuated her point in bold font. She put her skills in bold font which made them very easy to identify. I think employers would be interested in her professionalism and communication skills.
Vivienne Westwood Vivienne Westwood is known to be at the centre of British fashion, and therefore is regarded as one of its most inventive and influential designers. Despite the fact that she is an obvious choice, i am still wanting to write about her in this essay as i am facinated with her work and the sheer diversity of her creations. I particularly admire Westwoods eccentric designs as they are always guaranteed to stand out from the crowd. Despite the fact that her collections are all extremely diverse in appearance, you can always spot an item that is hers. Vivienne Westwood is most prominently known as the fashion desigher who most closely associated with punks, the youth subculture that developed in England in the 1970s.
Not only will I use this source in writing my paper, but it will also be used as a frequent teaching tool as I continue my education. Higginbotham, A.

Discuss the ways in which feminist theories have informed a contemporary understanding of media and gender. Consider at least two feminist perspectives in your answer. This essay will analyse various feminist media theories and explore their relevance with regard to our understanding and interpretation of contemporary media texts. Feminist media theories generally regard the media as being male dominated and examine gender inequality and its effects on media content and representation, “emphasising the important role of women in the media and the role of women in defining reality through media content” (Fourie, P. 2001). The development of feminism over time has seen many different feminist perspectives emerge such as liberal feminism, conservative feminism, radical feminism, socialist feminism, black feminism and lesbian feminism.
Marlene Dumas The South Africa-born-54-year-old painter is vibrant, funny, and engaging, full of the qualities the people find endearing. But then, people look at much of her work that is brooding, sexual, and has tones of pornography. This disconnection between the artist and her work is precisely why her work is so captivating. The relation between art and female beauty, art, and pornography, female models and models of art have been a constant theme for Marlene Dumas. Her work shows painterly gestures of Expressionism, while combining with Conceptual art along with the pleasures of eroticism.
I wanted to make a difference of my own. " In my opinion, a good artist needs to have this mindset. Wanting to make a difference, and do something great. Kelsey has definitely made a difference in the art community, considering that she has started the 365 project on flickr, which is very popular, and also the amount of beauty she shows in her photos.

Markandaya’s writing style compels her audience to feel as if we are experiencing life by her side, making the novel both poignant and powerful. Throughout this essay I will discuss how Nectar in a Sieve and ZenZeLe shine light on the “winners” and “losers” of development through a woman’s perspective. This essay will also consider those changes and apply them to the concept of the word development as it applies to a woman’s private and public life. The title Nectar in a Sieve reveals much about the novel itself, and encompasses the way hope shaped Rukmani’s private and public life. First let’s discuss the metaphor this title represents.
