Class Mate's Dioramas

Sarah Shouse's diorama on the pet population evoked a strong emotion in me. I would hope that people would consider simply having their pets fixed rather than just killing them off. Sherita Bolden's diorama on the invisible children in Africa taught me something I did not know. There are children in Africa being taken and used for fighting! Tyler Cochran's bowling ally of his life was very creative. The diorama showed the things in his life that have influenced him and was displayed as though it were a bowling ally. I have something to say about the diorama which displayed President Obama's moto "change", a lot of people are still talking about how they are so against him being America's president; well he is and that's the end of it so accept it. The diorama displaying abortion i considered to be a propaganda for the information it had within it.

This Music Video is a True Work of Art

I consider Meatloaf's music video "Anything for Love But I Wont Do That" a work of art. The video tells a story of a love that is forbidden. It's almost the story of Beauty and the Beast. The main character who is a beast is madly in love with this beautiful woman. The video shows his struggle for not being able to let her know, but also shows that she does know and will act on that notion.

I'm Having a Catharasis

I have a really great friend who is always as nice as she can possibly be to everyone. She would never purposefully hurt someone. She would even take up for someone who maybe wasn't her best friend but knew what was being said of that person was wrong. So it blows my mind that someone would intentionally hurt her. I am very passionate about my relationship with my friends. They are the ones I look to when I need anything, whether I want to tell them some good news or I need someone to cry or vent to they're the ones that are going to be there. So for anyone to hurt my friends hurts my just as much. My friend was intentionally hurt by a co-worker of hers. The co-worker always played the 'friend' role towards my friend, but behind her back conivied and talked about her. It all came out when the co-worker showed everyone just how nasty she could be by sleeping with my friend's boyfriend. When I found out about this it took all I had not to call the co-worker at that moment and let her know exactly what I thought about her. I had to hold my emmotions in for my friend, I had to give her time to figure out what she wanted to do about it, and until then i'm just holding it all in.

Why I Believe This Film is a Work of Art

The curious case of Benjamin Button is more than a film made for entertainment purposes. I view the film as a work of art. There are several artists that worked on this piece; there is the writer, the director, the actors/actresses and so many more. Leaving out not a single detail of such an amazing and unusual life is what creates the art I see. The story of Button's life is a masterpiece in it's own, not to mention bringing that story to life on film. Below is a link that gives you a glimpse of the art within the film.
