The painting hanging on the red wall of Mills Center was something that I had never noticed before. I walk past the Mills Center at least four times each week and not seeing such an incredible piece of art demonstrates how ignorant I can be. This painting is an artwork titled “Arrival in Jerome” by Henry Sugimoto, who is best known for his depictions of the wartime internment experience, many of his paintings executed while he was confined at the Jerome and Rohwer camps. Sugimoto represents Japanese-Americans who loved the United States and worked so hard for the country, but were imprisoned and denied their basic rights during World War II. The painting

She gives her audience of women to ability to imagine certain aspects of child labor. In the third paragraph the sentence “Tonight while we sleep, several thousand little girls will be working in textile mills, all the night through, in the deafening noise of the spindles and the looms spinning and weaving cotton and wool, silks and ribbons for us to buy.” Her vivid description allows the women to picture the conditions the children are living in. It helps convince her audience to join her cause. “A girl of six or seven years, just tall enough to reach the bobbins, may work eleven hours by day or by night.” The mention of how old the girl is, she can just reach the bobbins, and has a strenuous work day shows the young and innocent brought into the workforce. the women can most likely picture the girl or known someone just like her that they can relate to which brings out emotion from the audience. Imagery helped Kelley get emotion to her

Faith Ringgold composed this piece by using oil paints on a 31 by 19 inch canvas. It is depicting the struggles that her community and herself were facing while trying to gain equal rights from the majority of white American culture. She uses line, shape, color, value and texture

     Public art conquers so much more than the simple task of making the street a little easier to look at. It involves those who created it, those who supplied the means to create it, and those whose lives it continues to impact. Wall paintings in particular take an important role in working for a greater good. Judith F. Baca, a Hispanic-American woman and artist- activist has contributed an unaccountable amount to the mural movement in Los Angeles. She has accomplished this by giving individuals the chance to create art and develop a sense of pride, she has taught younger generations a respect for their ethnic identity, and from the many walks of life that continue to view her

This comparison to nature reveals the purity and purpose within the woman's work, and ignites the speaker's revelation that she needs humility. The woman's hair is compared to the "wing of a bird," displaying the speaker's admiration because she assimilates the woman and nature. The narrator's admiration and emotional connection to the woman parallels the destruction of her belief in social status and order. The woman "loves her life" and has pride in her job even though she is considered to be part of the lower class. The countenance of the woman dissolves any preconceived notions the speaker had about social hierarchy.

For this painting Brett Whiteley used a large canvas which he was inspired by Henri Matisse. Brett Whiteley received a first archibald prize, for this artwork in 1976. I think that Brett whiteley explores his own environment and in the way he interprets the world. The painting included a snippet of real hair as well as a self portrait of brett whiteley in the mirror.

This displays the struggles the Chicano movement endures because they were the only race not receiving a stable salary. This makes them feel as if they can't ask for help because they won't get any response. It made the Chicano Movement feel as if the only way the government would provide them with care was if they become citizens. Not only was their political struggles but there was also social

Conformity: “Agreement between an individual's behavior and a group's standards or expectations. A conformist is one who follows the majority's desires or standards.”Conformity is not always necessarily a bad thing, but can be when followed excessively. For instance, can you imagine what this world would be if everyone looked, dressed, talked, walked, and acted the exact same. This is what life is like at Mica High, and this paper analyzes the negative aspects, and consequences of conformity in Stargirl.

Through this painting, Marie Louise Elizabeth Vigee-LeBrun is sharing herself with the viewer. The message is easily understood.

There are three main aspects of this painting, each representing a different aspect of society. The first and lower part of the painting shows the working class, gathered in desperate and impoverished lines. This shows the lack of compassion available in the American economy.

Conformity, most people do not like it and most people do. There would be a time where you would want to be the same as someone is probably if you and your best friend wear the same exact outfit and you two might say, “Twinsies”. Do you ever wonder what it would be like if everyone dressed the same as you and not just one person? In a dystopian novel, The Giver by Lois Lowry, everyone is forced to live the same way. Everything in the Community is the same. For instance, their clothing, skin tones, the size of their family, house, everything is identical. That is just how their community works. If everyone in the world lived the same like The Giver, society would not have originality and diversity. Just imagine living in that world instead of your world here where everyone is different.

Chris Rock’s documentary, Good Hair, investigates the notion of what good hair is. Dominant society views good hair as straight or essentially caucasian hair. This is not only problematic to the self-esteem and confidence of black women, but it can also cause black women to appropriate Asian culture. Black women unfortunately take advantage of Asian culture in search of what society believes is good hair. Many black women wear weaves in order to align to what society believes is good hair. However, when they buy this hair, they do not realize what Asians go through. Likewise, Asians who give up their hair do not know where or who this hair will be going to. Thus, this desire for good hair further perpetuates the lack of understanding that black

When I see the painting the shape is symmetric in the sense that there are the same amount of people on both sides of Jesus. The genre of this painting is Christian art.There are also four panels on both sides of the walls. In my opinion, the target audience that this painting was intended for are those who are believers of Christ. I feel this way because I think that this painting portrays the event that is talked about in the bible in the scripture Matthew 26, verse 21 where Jesus says “…"Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.". He then continues in verse 23 saying, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me”. In the painting, you can clearly see the man two seats away from his right reaching for the bowl at the same time as Christ. This event lead to the Holy Eucharist, also known as communion or the Lord’s Supper where Christ takes the bread which was to symbolize his body and wine which was to symbolize his

When I saw the painting for the first time it grabbed my attention. At first I thought it was the beautiful colors that attracted me to the painting, but it was more. In the picture the shadowy men look scared. They looked as though they were trying to run away from something and this lake that forms into this river that is surrounded by tall grass is the way out, or at least a place to hide until the coast is clear. During that time in my life I felt
