Stereotypes In Art Analysis

The first photograph I am going to discuss is photo of Ellery Shufelt with his children in Albany County, New York. Arthur Rothstein took this photograph in 1937, which was when the Great Depression was taking place in the United States. This photograph depicts many of these formal elements and techniques such as, framing, lighting, composition, and space to help portray the true meaning of the image. Arthur Rothstein uses the technique known as composition, which can be defined as the organization of the photograph by inserting elements in particular places and sizes. This assumption can be made because Rothstein places the Ellery Shufelt and his children in specific areas of the photograph to help capture an emotion or option about how people live and work American society at this time. Also, the framing and position of the door and chair outlines the photograph asymmetrically for the viewer. The door offsets the image by dividing the image with a vertical line. This basically crops the photograph making the viewer focus on the father and his children rather than the background itself. In addition, the level the camera intensifies the feeling and framing by making you feel eye level with the subjects. The use of framing allowed the photograph to make you focus and control how you perceive the image.

Featured and organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Romare Bearden’s collection is one that appreciates and depicts life for what it really is. Bearden did not like abstract expressionism. Instead, he made many collages depicting life with different perspectives, allowing the viewer to see reality, but also try to figure out the true meaning that Bearden meant to portray in the collage that was not directly seen by just looking at the picture. These collages were made by “Cut and pasted printed, colored and metallic papers, photostats, pencil, ink marker, gouache, watercolor, and pen and ink on Masonite” (MET Museum). Bearden liked telling narratives within these collages involving Harlem life. Whether it was on the streets, inside

ynn Peril’s, Pink Think is a book that examines the influences of the feminine ideal. Peril was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1985. She writes, edits, publishes, and dissects popular culture, especially that concerning gender-related behavioral instructions. She starts off the essay with her thesis saying that the human female is bombarded with advice on how to wield those feminine craftiness. She starts the book with how young women were supposed to wear conservative dresses, and get boyfriends in hopes of those boyfriends to become their husbands and fathering their children so they may become what was perceived as victorious, a mother and housewife. These ideas and concepts fitted to the times that Peril mentions in her book. She founds this a very negative outlook on pink think and is trying to me, the reader to also look at the book as something negative and vile. Today, I believe that these stereotypes have indeed changed, and do not exist as much in the world we live in today. However, in today’s world new concepts and ideas have manifested in for young women in America.

The exhibit was grouped into four sections each section had a main item or multiple main items that the artwork was made up of. In the first exhibit the collages were split into two sides one side had fabric made collages the other side was more of found things put together to create one big college. While the untitled works are just items clustered together to create a college of sorts. It's hard to say what he means by the

As a student in both one of your schools and at Dalton State College, I am both surprised and delighted by your decision to provide laptops to all students. Dalton High School, which I attend, is, like most schools in this day and time, trying to go paperless. Access to these laptops provides internet capabilities to students that would not otherwise have them. I also respect your decision to offer insurance for those willing to buy it because my offering it you recognize that mistakes do happen and sometimes students are not at fault. These laptops are a great edition to the resources that student have access to however, some issues have arisen with these laptops and need to be addresses.

In “The Socio-Aesthetics of Pink,” Elizabeth Camp shares with us her two year old daughter’s love for everything pink. The article goes between talking about Camp’s and society's opinion on the color, and analyzing how significant it is for girls to like pink. People put too much meaning behind color, associating it with gender, and not only for girls but for boys too. There’s no need to put your child’s identity behind something so meaningless. It does not matter if your son likes pink or if your daughter likes blue.

Yesterday, I was playing Xbox with my friend, Anja. On my left side stood my laptop connected to a small speaker. I put on a song on Spotify, and leant back to look at the TV-screen. We listened to some other songs, until my mother came home and I had to turn it off to ask her something. When I was done talking to her, I sat back in the couch without putting on the music again. After about five minutes, a song howled out of the speaker with no one around the laptop to put it on play. My friend and I looked around like Timon from the Lion King and we were freaked out by the situation. I told Anja about another time something like this happened, when I was home alone in my room to put some make-up on. I put a song on my stereo from my Spotify

The picture I chose to analyze is a genderbend of the characters Junkrat and Roadhog from a popular game, Overwatch created by “Mist XG.” This example of genderbend in my opinion was executed poorly, especially when comparing it to the original character designs. Both Junkrat and Roadhog are extremely sexualized, and are not wearing bras or any support for their chests other than straps. The worst of all is probably Roadhog’s depiction, as he is an overweight character, yet the artist chose to slim him down considerably in this genderbend, purely to fit the female Roadhog into the stereotype that only thin women are sexy. Roadhog in the game is a tank, and generally depicted as a very strong character, going so far as to hooking characters.

The collage reflects the concept of intersectionality and my different core beliefs that have developed from my intersectionality. This collage has the things that are most important to me, things that have shaped me, and things that I identify with that that I find essential. Each person in this picture has influenced a very important identity in my life and make me who I am. The pictures without people reflect each reflect a value or an identity of mine.

The violent markings of the photo album and its images, however, produce an equally powerful message that jars the memory as it disrupts and distorts the photographic chronicle of her life and that of her family and friends. The result is a complex visual experience that addresses the use of images in producing knowledge and making history.

Dale Kennington’s unique artwork presents a realist view which encourages the viewers to examine her art that illustrates “everyday” occurrences in a new and distinct way. In her oil on canvas piece, Mothers’ Day, 1996, Kennington displays numerous young girls clothed in extravagant, decorative dresses in a nondescript waiting room; many accompanied by what seems to be their mothers. Each dress is depicted with vivid, saturated color for implied emphasis. The adult women, assumed mothers by the title of the piece, are primping their daughters for what seems to be a pageant show of some sort by the identification number visible on the dress of one girl. Light and bouncy curls accentuate the young girls’ faces as they prepare for the show. Light from an unseen overhead light creates a spotlight on most of the girls, casting shadows across the room’s floor. In this scene, the mothers seem to be actively preparing their daughters whereas most of the girls appear to be unbothered and patiently waiting for what is to come next. This piece is quite large, 10 by 6 feet, which allows for the audience to feel as if they were standing in the painting; this emphasizes the realism of the piece. Kennington’s use of realism allows for this scene to be represented candidly, and without artificiality and she achieves this by using formal components that challenge the audience to rethink their predetermined notions of any particular event, such as this one.

More importantly, people should not be limited by stereotype imagine because creativity will benefit the whole society, just like the iPhone. Education is necessary but not everything in human’s life. It is helpful to learn skills and knowledge in colleges, at the same time, students need to explore those skills into the real life. Epstein gives people a good angel to consider students’ college life and also the future life. It is important to carry those ideas and avoid to limit ourselves.

The collage titled, “Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?” shows a parlor or living room. In the center of the room the viewer will find the body builder Irvin "Zabo" Koszewski holding an oversized Tootsie-Pop. Siting to the left side of the piece, one will fine the artist Jo Baer sitting on a sofa, nude. In addition, the collage contains a staircase with a women vacuuming and an arrow with text. A window that reveals a picture of broadways. A lamp shade with a Ford logo, a framed picture of the cover of “Young Romance”, a Stromberg-Carlson TV, a tape recorder on the floor, an image of the earth on the ceiling, a rug, and a canned ham on the coffee table (Stonard, 612-620). The collage was created in 1956 for

Do we suffer from having stereotypes about and against us? Of course, we’ve all had those experiences where we were held up to a certain standard based on our culture and race. It puts labels about how a person should act or live according to their sex, race, personality, and other factors. This could influence individuals who like different things or do different activities, but feel ashamed of doing so because of stereotypes. We should learn not to judge and perceive people because of what we think they should be like, and should change our point of view about the stereotypes that are in our society. In the end, self perception is the only thing that can make or break us.

There are many ways that people are different from each other. People can look different, come from different places, born at different times, and live different ways. It is important that we take these characteristic into mind when we meet new people, but we should never rely on stereotypes. While some people may share some traits with a stereotype of a group they belong to, many do not. Stereotypes are very damaging to everyone. It teaches children things that are not true. Many people are misjudged often because of stereotypes. One of the ways these generalizations harms groups, is that it makes some people feel a need to separate themselves from things that the may share with a stereotype, so that they are viewed more individuality. While everyone is different in many ways, we all share things in common.
