Fashion and art have been essential in my life, serving as a method to exhibit my emotions, thoughts, and desires. Ever since I entered the University of California, Los Angeles, I felt as if I could never find an environment that allowed me express my artistic abilities while still being an activist and agent of change for marginalized groups. I feel as if joining the Cultural Affairs Commission, and holding a position in the Hip-Hop Congress, will provide me a platform in which to I can fully…

In her work Reflections, Agnes Martin discusses what the goals of an artist should be. Through a cultivation of self-awareness, one can find the key to success through the rejection of perfection. With encouragement of action, not direct results, she gives the striving artist the push towards action that will result in what they want, regardless if the outcome is good or bad. Martin begins her discussion with the notion that perfection is a mystery and not easily obtainable. When perfection is…

video games were practically spat upon by those in “high-art” circles. Seen as mindless time killers, barely worth a mention, they were isolated from discussion for the better part of a quarter century. However, as years passed and technology evolved, the medium as a whole evolved with it. Development tools became more accessible to the masses, providing any person with an idea to tell a story that pushes the boundaries of the medium and of art itself. Despite these clear evolutions, there are…

fun class for me because, I'm a fun, crazy, and kind of person and I think I would have fun acting out plays in the class or other things. There was a lot of act classes that the high school had for the us students. I had a hard time picking which art class to take with three spots left. At the…

When it comes to audio production for R&B, the beat and the song lyrics are the best to focus on to make the best out of your music. Create a unique theme, if it has been overly used before, take note that chances are that people will not pay too much attention on it. In Chris Brown's song with you he talks about a guy that was with a special girl. Instead of talking about how much he loved her in the old conventional way he sings about how lucky he is to have her in his life. This seems like…

As of now held at the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, this Bull-headed Lyre with Sound Box conveys a special angle to Sumerian craftsmanship. This lyre was found in the "Lord's Grave" of the Royal Cemetery of Ur, this divided instrument's creation is evaluated to be around 2,600 BCE. The lyre itself comprises of wood yet the unshaven bull's head, which covers the sound box, is involved gold and lapis lazuli, a semiprecious stone. The sound…

to be destroyed afterwards. Thomas Demand, born in 1964 in Munich, is among the most outstanding artists of our times, primarily a sculptor-slash-photographer, active also as a curator. Demand began his art education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (1987-90), but it was at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf (1990-2) and Goldsmith's College in London (1993-4), where his artistic language has been finally shaped. Instead of the photography class of Bernd and Hilla Becher, an origin of the…

When I got there my first impression of the building was that it was very beautiful and had a…
