Both artists, Maya Lin and Andy Goldsworthy, use nature to express their feelings through art. Goldsworthy uses nature more in a temporary art setting. The sculptures he creates are all from objects surrounding his project. Whether it is made of rocks, leafs, branches, ice sickles, and many other surrounding objects. Maya Lin on the other hand brings in all the materials that she uses on her sculptures. Lin strives to show the way nature or a piece of land once was and how important it was to

The Storm in King Lear In Shakespeare, the Bible, and many other famous pieces of literature, the storm and its characteristics, lightening, thunder and rain, have been used to symbolize chaos, destruction or a dramatic upheaval of some sort. As a force of nature, storms remind one that as a human, one is essentially powerless over what they cannot control, including natural elements.

criticism. She manages to trudge on. Her works express both an artistic and mathematical feel, somehow finding a beautiful marriage between. Her obsession with art and knowledge can be greatly attributed to her parents, as she was very successful at an early age. Her art career is one of many triumphs and breaking boundaries in the art world. Lin has a great love for nature, and many of her pieces help to express the significance of this, and she loves to enthrall the audience.

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was.

If you are familiar with Eminem, it won’t surprise you that there is a fair amount of vulgarity and graphic imagery in the video. So, proceed with caution to the link above. While Mr. Mathers covers a bit of ground in his video, I want to focus on the major reoccurring theme of the video: racism. Despite its popularity, The Storm does more harm than good towards resolving problems of racism
