    The Movement of Protest 1) “It was a decade of extremes, of transformational change and bizarre contrasts: flower children and assassins, idealism and alienation, rebellion and backlash.

Historians nostalgically described the sixties as a counterculture and revolution in social norms, such as: art, sexuality, formalities, and philosophy. The decade was also called

    Reflection circa 1973 was, grinding away best, an unobtrusively venturesome redesign on prior models. A significant part of the new painting seen in Manhattan doesn't climb so high. It's generally a gifted however doomed repeat. Four decades back, "execution workmanship" was an option to painting. It was offbeat and clunky, past innovation, or perhaps unreasonably underneath it, intended to reflect a world in which materials were transient, models pointless, values tricky. A ton of late execution

    The first song that I chose was "Heaven on Their Minds". Not only is it the opening song but it also sets the tone for the entire show. Right off that bat we find out that Judas and Jesus use to be very close but that Judas no longer agrees with Jesus or likes what it is he is doing. This can very easily be related to anyone who has ever had disagreements with a friend or family member and, because of their differences, were no longer able to have a healthy relationship with each other. This is something

    What is the purpose of art? There is art for art’s sake, there is the ‘percent for art’ ordinance, and there is art with the intention of popularity or even to push societal norms. The list can go on and on, but one of the most respectable purposes is the intention of giving the under privileged a voice of their own in an environment of oppression. Public muralists single handedly achieve that goal. The service a muralist gives is not only added aesthetic value to a neighborhood with his or her art

    In my interpretation, Emmy has always been corrupted by colonial fantasies, but according to Wartenberg, the “attraction these two have for one another has nothing to do with the allure of an exoticized, forbidden Other. Ali and Emmy are simply two people who have managed to open themselves up to one another in the way we call love.” Here, he’s referring to the initial attraction that draws the couple together, which he attributes to their mutual loneliness. To Wartenberg, “they seem untroubled by
