Human Nature

It is human nature for people to criticize one another. People forget to look deep into situations to understand that sometimes, the person you are criticizing knows no other action than the one they committed.

Public art

Public art
My favorite public art is the bulldogs down in Athens. They are so cute and show many different things. My friends and I try to see who can name and remember the location of most of them.

Architecture

I love this architecture.
In March, I visited Loire valley, France. When I visited France, I visited the Chonaneaux. This was the most beautiful building I have ever been in. It was built over the Loire River. This is a very simple castle, but one yet beautiful. It was easy to get lost with my best friend, and in one building I had the time of my life seeing how life used to be and just enjoying myself. I would like everyone to visit this castle and its beautiful gardens.

Im having a catharsis

I had a catharsis earlier this school year, with my own diorama. I did my diorama on religious tolerance, I already have this information in my actual post about my diorama, but I could talk for hours on the subject. I believe that all religion is art. And I have had my catharsis on Earth Based Religion tolerance. I am very respectful about it, and do not speak on it often but I myself am a part of an earth based religion. I grew up in a Christian household, and I still celebrate every Christian holiday with them and will always respect the love they have for their faith, BUT they do not respect mine, I have gone a few years being preached too and I don’t want to be preached too anymore. I have found a spiritual path that I would love to follow and share with others when I know the time is right. I would feel very strongly about religious tolerance and believe Americans should learn that respect.

Jackson

1) Recall specific lyrics that resonate to you on a personal level that demonstrate human struggle, condition, behavior, nature, and/or human psyche in Michael Jackson's artistry.
They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to reaaly be in love

They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go

And then someday they may recall
We were not to young at fall

This shows struggle to prove love.
Im sick of people saying too young.
Age is only a number.

2) Comment on how you observe the mind/spirit of this artist at work from the documentary "This is it" or some other experience.
Michael and I are similar in the fact that both of us would like to live at this young age forever, I have absolutely no problem with being 17 forever. I think that he put his soul into his songs, and his songs reflect his opinions on life, and love, and growing old, And he basically just throws it out that You are never too young. And i agree with that.

Dear Prudence Come out to Play

If any of you have ever seen the movie Across the universe, you know that it is all just a big work of art. This movie is a story of the Beetles most famous songs and is put into the story of teenagers. This particular song is about a girl named Prudence who is going through somewhat of an identity crisis at the time. I believe this is a work of art for a few reasons
1) The actors, acting is a fine art
2) The set/props are beautiful and expressive
3) The colors are eye opening and very emotional
4) THE BEETLES MUSIC

Watching this movie, even this clip- sends chills through me at its beauty.
Listen to the music, watch the video, understand the story - it is undeniably artistic

WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!

Come one Come all to the Cirque Du Soleil

In March of 2007 & 2009 I was lucky enough to see the Cirque du Soleil ,in Atlanta. This cirque was unlike any other event I have ever attended. The tent was roaring with hundreds of conversations, everyone was bundled up, but the jackets peeled off and you could see just layers of fashion, everyone was beautifully dressed and so excited for the show. There are people [ part of the show] Running through the crowd grabbing random people the tent grows louder as people leak with anticipation then SUDDENLY BOOM a flash of light and some smoke. A small man in blue striped pj's is standing on stage, everyone is frozen , everything is silent - the show has started.
Ladies and Gentleman, this is what i remember from the begenning of the 2009 cirque. This show is full of Dancers, Acrobats, Vocalist. contortionist, and gymnast. It is beautiful array of lights and action that will have your mouth hanging open and on the edge of your seat. This is art, just made with your body. I recommend this show to EVERYONE because there is nothing else on earth like it.
