 "Not so long ago sex and work were savagely opposed terms: both are dissolved into the same type of demand. Formerly the discourse on history took its force from opposing itself to the one on nature, the discourse on desire to the one on power-today they exchange their signifiers and their scenarios" (Pg. 36). This quote addresses the artist that I am going to be talking about which her name is Kara Walker. She is an African American woman that is a artist. Her artwork describes this quote because within her artwork she shows the sex or gender and work of African Americans being treated during that time. About Kara Walker - Creative Time - Projects

Kara Walker is a good artist that represents good African American artwork. Looking at her artwork you can tell that she has passion for what she has been through or talking about with her artwork. For me looking at her art you can tell that it is a true deep meaning to her art. Also just engages you in as viewer which I find to be really dope.

    I like your idea of doing research about an artist who is passionate about gender since gender identity is important to me.

    I love Kara Walker!! She's so cool and her work is so powerful. I'm really glad you presented on her because I was introduced to some works of hers I'd never seen before. The giant sculpture made of sugar in the factory especially captured my attention.

Time and Motion

  Pasadena's Suicide Bridge "Motion is a kind of change, and change takes place in time. Motion can be implied as well as literal"(Lupton, p. 215) Time and motion is something that is seen in art everyday. Motion and time is a good element that can be use in pictures. This week I decide to go place and take pictures describing Time and Motion.  Instagram: t.y.__ya_feel_me So me and my friend decide to go to this place called Pasadena's Suicide Bridge. This bridge is where a lot of people have actually committed a suicide here. So I wanted to capture the moments there at the bridge. It is a place that I thought of going too for long time and wanted to put it into this project.  Motion is seen in both photos that I have taken. It is motion in the first picture because cars are moving on the freeway. Also the lights in the picture some of them were turning off and on. The second picture is motion because it was taken from an angle and also moving at the same time. I want

Progress Report of the Final Project

 "It can be seen that the iconoclasts, who are often accused of despising and denying images, were in fact the ones who accorded them their actual worth, unlike the iconolaters, who saw in them only reflections and were content to venerate God at one remove" (Pg.9). I feel like what I took from this quote is that you cannot deny any bodies talent or what they bring to the table. Also, that you should not take any judgment for it or feel bad about it.  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C8cHh5Vg9A8U1f7Dn9MgMPuDxrywrrSyeZ98DlQ3k3k/edit?usp=sharing For my final project I wanted to show movement and how we can use are bodies with. So which is dancing for me recently ever since I quit football two years ago. The dance group is called Afro Fusions, and we dance many different genres of music but mainly to Afro Beats. So, in this video I wanted to show me and the rest of my group members using our bodies in different movements.
