During the 1971 Rap Weekend in Fresno, Chicago, together with Miriam Schapiro, showcased works that used the central format of abstracted flowers or folds of the vagina. Chicago later reflected on the showcase stating that she could not express her own feelings as she met other

Judy herself worked up the courage to make this lithograph as she was realistically rejected by the “Rejection Lunitet.” Five of her different works were originally inspired before this one and several experiences Judy has held in her life during this final process. Finally, she stood up against society, just like I have every day as a Deaf person- I immediately felt what she felt. At the bottom of this piece Judy Chicago couragely writes in beautiful cursive

life. Professor Danquah humanities class changed the way that I view artist’s artwork completely. The one thing that I learn mainly that will always stick with me is that, behind every artists artwork has a meaning. For example the dinner party by Judy Chicago.

It is also inspired by the women’s movement and rebelling against the

Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party” at the Brooklyn Museum seamlessly blends the boundaries between art and craft. In the past, crafts have been categorized as minor arts, decorative arts, and applied arts. These terms sought to somehow distance crafts from the art family.

A common reoccurrence in romantic comedies is the factor of love being whimsically portrayed as something divine, predestined and magical. The omniscient state of love in the typical romantic comedy positions love as the driving force with godlike authority over the film and the love between the two central characters is within a concept of a divine plan, fitting in with the romantic concepts in which the romance genre is founded. Punch-Drunk Love (2002) uses absurdism to flip all of this on its

My First Karate Class My Mind was still playing tricks on me when I thought about Karate and when I looked at the time, but I always knew that one day I am going to be good at karate even though it was my first time. It was Monday, everything was going normally until the clock struck 1:00, my friends called me and said “you are in karate class”, I suddenly jumped off of the couch and said Yes!

looks back with fascination. The last time it appears is in fragmented form near the end as Jims laments Plato’s death. There are many things to note about this theme and how we can link it to Plato. First, Plato doesn’t receive his own theme like Judy. He is tied to this current theme but it is not bound to him. The significance of his relationship to Jim is denied, he is subsumed into the narrative flow, and his own desire is not spoken with the affective power of music. Instead he is given the

The Crucible: How Fear Changes People During his first Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt once announced, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Fear manipulates a persons rationality resulting in them behaving in ways they normally would not, especially in the story The Crucible written by Arthur Miller.

Many people think zoos are doing a good job of keeping animals happy in the man made zoos.
