Anime is a culture because the people who are into it absolutely love it. As a personal anime lover, anime is the best kind of art on tv. It's so awesome to watch all of the characters and the story lines are alway intriguing. Also there is only a certain percentage of people who watch anime religiously and that's why I consider it a culture.

This sculpture of a giant guitar was outside of the Hard Rock cafe in Los Angelos. This was an awesome piece of public art and was one of my favorite pieces of art in all of LA.

Diorama Drama

The artist of this diorama was really bold:
This diorama was about race. The artist said that there shouldn't be a seperation of color in our society and I totally agree with her. She was very bold in making this because racism is such a sensitive issue now.






I oppose the opinion of this artist but I can understand where he/she is coming from:
This diorama was an anti-war diorama. Although I'm pro war I can definitely see where this artist was coming from. Sometimes we don't always understand why wars are going on and this artist said that it is a pointless war and that too many soliders are dying. I respect the opinion of this artist and I understand where she was coming from.




I oppose the opinion of this diorama:
This was probably one of the worst dioramas in the whole class. You can tell that the student spent maybe 15 minutes of their time working on it. Also, the student said that she opposed the war because it is costing so much money and people are losing their homes, well duh, and every single piece of legislation that the government passes costs lots of money and people are going to keep losing their homes until we get out of the depression. I'm very pro war and I respect everyone's opinion, but you can tell this artist spent no time researching or even creating this "work of art".




This diorama really made me think more deeply about an issue:
This diorama was about the American Red Cross. It really made me think about how many people are injured each day and that I should donate blood immediately because I've never done that before.

This diorama was very creative:
This diorama was about how oil spills kill a lot of our marine life every year. I thought that it was creative because the artist actually used water in his diorama.


This diorama taught me something that I did not know:
This diorama talked about how in some countries elephantitus and other foot diseases were very common because the people of these countries had no shoes to wear. It also said that if you buy shoes from some company that they would donate a pair of shoes to one of these countries.





My Diorama:



How did it feel for you as a diorama artist:


1. To create something about an issue? It felt really good because I'm a very opinionated individual and I finally expressed myself with something other than words.


2. To have people look and comment on your issue and what you created? It made me a little nervous, especially after hearing all the people who did dioramas against the war.


3. How did the creative process make you feel? It made me feel nostalgic. It reminded me of when I was in middle school and I had little projects like this that I had to do all the time.

I love this piece of Architecture.

I'm not sure why I like this sculpture so much but I thought it was really cool. I saw this on Venice Beach in Los Angelos. It was just so abstract and it was in the middle of the street. For whatever reason there is an Anarchy like sign on the top of it(you can't see it because this uploader sucks), but the theme of Anarchy would definitely be suitable for Venice Beach.

My Favorite Artist: Keith Haring

Keith Haring is my favorite artist for several different reasons. I think that his work is awesome.
One reason he is my favorite is because he is a graffiti artist. I think that graffiti artists are probably some of the most skilled artists because they paint with spray paint and not with brushes.

Another reason I like his work so much is because it's so simple. Not many of his works have that much detail in them. But sometimes simplicity is amazing all by itself.



Graffiti is Definitely Art

I without a doubt consider graffiti to be art. Even when the artist is using their work as vandalism, it's still art. Graffiti artists, like most other artists choose to paint to express how they feel. In my opinion I think that graffiti art is way more interesting than contemporary art anyways.

Fight Club: Film as Art

I think that the movie Fight Club was a work of art because it was very intriguing. The movie, contrary to its title, was hardly even about fighting. It focuses on a man's struggle of self identity. In the movie he has split personalities. One of his personalities likes to blow stuff up and the other is pretty much an office nerd. By the end of the movie the bad side has almost taken over and the good side has to fight to regain control. It's pretty much one of the best movies that I've ever seen.
