Symbolism

Francesca Woodman,  35 mm Photograph

I feel this photo is ICONIC & INDEXICAL

I feel this image is SYMBOLIC because 

it represents a heart and the symbol of love.

 Yves Klein, Anthropometry

I feel this Image is INDEXICAL because

it shows the true relation ship of the photo

as to what it was an image of.

Holbein, Hans /Younger/ Sir Thomas More,  oil on canvas, 1527

This photo is ICONIC because it shows no relationship

to the person in the portrait.

Banner & Manifesto

'Jaylene, Munazza & Ashley's Society

Our flag symbolizes strength and unity within the group. The infinity is our symbol of unity and the bear signifies our strength. As a group we vow to always stand by each other with strength and unity no matter the consequences or circumstances.
Living in any place where you have to fend for yourself you must be fair. Don't harm others, but still defend yourself if it gets to the point where you have no other choice to do so. Treat others with respect. Respect another persons territory and always be cautious of your surroundings and the people around you no matter where you are. Always protect those who can't protect themselves like young children, infants, the elderly, and disabled. Always stand your ground and look into the best interest of yourself and the people around you and in your group. Always try to make the most rational decisions and last, but no least always make sure that you and your group have some source of nutrition which would be to try to make sure that you and your group have some type of ration of food. 

Manifesto

A rule that i would have in my society would be most importantly to stick together, I feel that when people come together they can overcome anything, but once they fall apart as a unit, it becomes tricky to get things done. In the society i would demand that the people be respectful to each other and not wish harm against them. The manifesto would be straight to the point, i feel that we all have the same goal in this society so there shouldnt be any hidden agendas. In this society we should remain strong and remember no one person is better than the other, we all have special talents that can help us get by.

Survival

 I feel they were interpreting repairing the city great with each other, but one i most agree with was Teching Hseih, i agree with him the most because its something that most of us agree with. In a way, we all wonder how we would behave if we were homeless, or fell on hard times but we would never know. He on the other hand went out and experienced it for himself, and documented what its like. He experienced the strength it takes to be able to make it in the world.

Curating

Gregory Gentert: Pigment Print

 Ben Hagari: Video, Green room



i feel these two were placed together because they kind of show the organic way of life, and then a face paced way of life we are familiar with, they contrast each other.

Near and Far

Mainstream:

Edgar Degas
First Arabesque Penchée

cast in 1920 from a wax sculpture

Bronze

• The audience i feel its attraction is woman mainly, i feel that way because he is showing that he understands and appreciates what our bodies can do.
• Its bearing witness to what we can do, and the things that the human body can accomplish.

Non-Mainstream: 

Africans of Western Africa 

Bracelet, 17th–19th century

Nigeria; Yoruba, Owo subgroups

Ivory, wood or coconut shell inlay

• I feel the audience of this piece is for people that aren't familiar with the west African culture.
• This is bearing witness to, the traditions that they participated in during special times and wanted to show the types of things that they wear, that they're similar to us.

The differences between these two works aren't much, they show that both the traditional man and nontraditional both appreciate art and know how to express it. I dont feel they were familiar with each other based on the fact of the cultural differences. I think they both deserve to be mainstream because i think it is important for us to know about everyones culture and understand what they go threw.

My life in Food

The dish I choose to cook for this project was shrimp Alfredo, I choose this because since my family members have sworn off beef and chicken, we have been eating more and more seafood. its also my favorite dish.

the ingredients i used for this dish is

1. garlic
2. Alfredo sauce 
3. linguine noodles
4. shrimp
5. salt, pepper, sazon, and other seasonings.

• The first thing i did was start the sauce because it being out the jar, i had to fix it up so it wouldn't be that noticeable (my aunt would kill me for using jarred sauce). i started that with some garlic and seasonings.
• Then put on the noodle to cook because knew the shrimp would only take about 8 minutes.
• Towards the end of the noodles cooking i started marinating the shrimp in the seasonings and then when the noodles were finished, i started cooking the shrimp.

i added the last picture to show it was me :)
