Picture a casual day in the life of an ordinary girl: going to school in the mornings and performing her chores during the evenings. Now, reorient this to a day where she lacks of time to balance homework and sleep as pulling all-nighters is a quotidian activity where the exclusive task is to execute all her responsibilities. This vigorous alteration portrays how my life has changed in the preceding years. Antecedently, I was able to attend Orland Ballet's Summer Intensive. Challenging my daily living

When I visited the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum, I was reunited with one of my favorite art pieces by the artist known as KAWS. I fell in love with his art when I visited the DMA as a child with my family. He had an exhibition there and I immediately was drawn in by the vibrant colors and chaotic images; but one caught my eye and I couldn’t look away. An unknown factor was just drawing me in to look over the whole piece, to document every line and curve. The piece was a lot taller than me, so I was

Siegel was a “creative earthquake that altered the landscape of modern art”. This movement had been considered as especially ‘American’ in style, this was because of its attention to the physical adjacency of paint. It had allowed artists to break away from accepted conventions in both technique and subject matter. Abstract expressionism was quite a successful movement and in is success allowed New York to become the centre of modern art at the time, a title previously held by Paris. The works of

I decided to research one of the most influential Modern Dance pioneers; Martha Graham. Graham’s contributions to dance has often been compared to Picasso’s contributions to art and Stravinsky’s to music; in my opinion she opened up many new opportunities and possibilities for dance including the ability to learn free expression and honesty through movement. Martha Graham was born on May the 11th, 1894, in the suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Martha was one of George and Jane Beers Graham’s

England’s five gallery network of Tate spaces, has been on a mission to redefine itself since the creation of Tate Modern in 2000. At that time the majority of Tate Britain’s post-1900 collection of artworks were rehoused into Tate Modern. Tate Britain has gone through two major refurbishments since and relies heavily on events, like this commission, to maintain its resonance with modern audiences. Therefore, untitled: dock is monumentally important to the museum’s calendar. The Duveen Gallery opened

What is the Modern Person? There is no one idea of a modern person. The ideas of such a person differ depending on who you ask. Back in the 1920s the belief was mostly different to what it is now. A person’s background also shapes their idea on the modern person. What changes a person’s ideas most those is their ethics about others. There was a general idea back in the roaring 20s. In the 1920s the people who were believed to be modern were quite different even among themselves. Such as

around forever, so it seems. People all around the world can be found with some form of smart device in their hand. Since the development of smart phones and video games a controversy has arisen. Technology has led to many wonderful advancement of the modern age and is benefiting people everywhere, but is it really that great? Technology has a negative effect on children and adolescents.

Samuel Johnson’s Influential Dictionary In order to provide a sufficient response to this intriguing inquiry, one should acknowledge the influential milestones of the Early Modern English period (c.1450 -1750) that laid the groundwork for the emergence of Samuel Johnson’s invaluable dictionary. On the top of that list is the evolution of the English Renaissance which is often referred to as the “Elizabethan Era” or the “Age of Shakespeare” after the most significant monarch and notable dramatist

The idea of a social dance, where ladies and gentlemen partner together to perform standard north American and Latin ballroom dancing brings us an understanding of conformity in the competitive ballroom dancing. Strictly ballroom(1992) gives us a central idea of social dance, principally with how a man is viewed to be and act accordingly with the lady.

The choreography being displayed by two female dancers consisted of a negative, intense energy, constant moving towards the ground, and a dragging type of movement due to the stretchy dress. Most of the dance moves are considered characteristics of modern dance due to the movements towards the ground and dancing barefooted.
