My Final Artwork Project Was Produced And Inspired By The Reading Of Herbert Marcuse

This could either be a Grizzly Bear or a Kodiak bear. This sculpture is number 112 out of 1500.

In her novel Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton takes a step from her usual writing style of focussing on the upper class she was raised in and focuses on the troubles of the lower class. This story is about a man who tries to escape poverty ends up failing.Using the sociological critical approach one is able to hypothesize why Wharton moved from her usual writing style and determine a theme from it. The sociological approach is when one examines the political or economic context in which the story is written. Examining the society and class the author lives or lived in along with the society and class the author writes about a theme based around these ideas can be formed.

Can you tell us more on some of the themes as it relates to today’s societies?

The piece of art I chose is is a song that I listened to a lot as a kid and still listen to today. The melodies and instruments transcend the lyrics. However , the lyrics hold so much more. I lived on a fire station as a kid when this song came out. Actually it was a tape in 1985. I thought because of the association with my dad being gone on fires all the time, that this song “The Working Hour,” related to him and his need to be away working on fires all the time. As an adult, I still feel those feelings as I did when I was 7 yrs old, however now I am the one working. I do the same job, and the working hour means something more to me now then it did when I was a kid waiting for my father to return from fires. This was a time when work to

The puzzle piece will match the color of the problem in the world they are most concerned with. Written on it will be what they think the biggest issue of the world is and how they can provide help towards it. With them standing around the globe in a heart shape, another message It’s giving off is that we all see that the world is not perfect and these people are not oblivious to the problems that are going on. In some way shape or form it affects them. They each have a puzzle piece to help with the concerns they have of the world. It’s entitled that if everyone did their part it can solve the bigger picture, which is the world and it’s troubles. I want to give off this image of people working together as a team, to better the community around them, and future generations. I will use bright colors in my painting, so it can give off a strong positive impression to brighten someone’s day, and also be seen in the night time. It would be to show that there is more to life then cruelty, and death casualties in the

The Hudson River school represents the first native genre of distinctly American art. The school began to produce art works in the early 1820s; comprised of a group of loosely organized painters who took as their subject the unique naturalness of the undeveloped American continent, starting with the Hudson River region in New York, but eventually extending through space and time all the way to California and the 1870s. During the period, that the school’s artists were active (c. 1820-1870) the nation was in the process of undergoing momentous political, social, and economic change. The works that the Hudson River School painters comprised reflected the changes that were taking place across the

Pablo Picasso was considered the greatest artist of the 20th century because of his unique styles and techniques. Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain on October 25, 1881 to a professor of art named Jose Ruiz Blanco and his wife Maria Picasso Lopez. Because of his fathers’ occupation, Picasso’s talent was quickly noticed and appreciated. Don Jose, an art teacher, moved Picasso and his family to La Coruna and then to Barcelona where he was Picasso’s instructor at the fine arts academy. At the age of 10 Picasso made his first paintings, and performed brilliantly on the entrance exams to Barcelona’s School Of Fine Arts. From there he went to the academy of San Fernando Madrid, and returned to Barcelona in 1900. In

I created a grouping of three large and small figureheads, and an umbrella-like sky (the visor). These figureheads enable viewers to sieve their thoughts and feelings as I do. Specifically, sharing the mental anxiety through shock encounters (concrete figurehead); memories of the Holocaust and traumatic circumstances. Also, the physiological response captured in an array of colors (glass figurehead) which, convey emotional responses. In addition, even though, I am a down-to-earth person, the third figurehead communicates that I also crumble like the soil (clay figurehead). The smaller figures mounted on the visor above the clay figurehead intends to give a whimsical, floating feeling to emphasize the warmth related to the feelings of compassion I hold. It is also through the colors in all the figureheads, the visor and the illumination with LED lights, and crackling effect that I project whom I am. Further, by having a visor emulate a stained glass, I created an illusion that viewers can embrace seeing society as tainted, as I do.

When I first saw this sculpture, I was quite happy, because I have found something in the Brigham Young University’s sculpture garden that I actually feel like I can write about it. It is a very engaging sculpture, I was thrilled to take a look from all sides, there’s always something exciting awaits me. Not only was the object itself was something to look at, the shadow it casts on the floor was also something to look at. I think this sculpture is hinting me something about the future, some technology advancement that will one day come and revolutionize the world. This sculpture helped me open the door to my imagination, it gives me something new to explore. Not only did I really like this piece of sculpture, I also feel like I can connect

The work of art I chose to write about was Crown by Jean Shin, which is currently on display at the BRIC Biennial. This particular piece of art is hung from the ceiling of the museum and is constructed out of various metal chains. I believe that the materials that Jean Shin used to construct this piece are conveying a quintessential message to her viewers. The message I believe Shin is conveying via her medium is that each chain represents a different person in society and the variety of chains together represents society as a melting pot amongst a variety of other things. The interesting part of this piece is that the artist Jean Shin asked members of the community to donate their metal chains to contribute to the piece, this further backs

Herbert Marcuse, a German-American philosopher believed that the government kept the people ignorant and uneducated in order to maintain them. In the film, it showed that the government had power over what was shown on the media and given to the people. An example would be the

One of the main areas of misunderstandings between Keith Schmidt and Peter Smith concerns the rate of expansion of the organization, an idea that originated from Schmidt (Caseforest.com 2010). Schmidt wanted the changes to be more abrupt in order to get the desired form of the organization. On the other hand, Smith was very conservative and wanted the changes to be slower contrary to Schmidt’s wishes. These repulsive views brought a lot of tension in the entire organization. The decision making process became slower obstructing various activities of the organization.

When the new upper class movement, Renaissance, occurred in Italy around the 14th century, a revival of the classical forms originally developed by the ancient Greeks and Romans, an intensified concern with secular life, and interest in humanism and assertion of the importance of the individual began. Thus, artists such as Mosaccio and Giotto depicted art that unlike the Middle Ages, showed emotions, feelings, and bright colors, thus demonstrating the deep concern for naturalism in the society. Other artists during the Italian Renaissance period such as Giovanni Bellini began to express their art through secular and religious themes and ideas that were exhibited through landscapes and portraits. As new styles of
