though not consciously.” –Frank Gehry. Frank Gehry is well known for designing the abstract and astonishing architecture for the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles California. The objective of this concert hall is to give a “visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience” and “designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world” says the La Philpedia. Frank Gehry was born on February 28, 1929 in Toronto, Canada. As a child Frank had a very active

Last Christmas, I had the opportunity to experience the fireworks show in Disney World. The theme park’s magic and wonder fascinated me and thus compelled me to choose Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall as my building of study. Both its exterior and interior uphold a quote mentioned in Professor Speck’s lecture by Abbot Suger, “Man reaches contemplation of divine through the senses.” In other words, an individual is able to understand a deeper meaning through use of the five senses.

Like Nathaniel did, even though he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he kept on doing what he loved to do and always had a shopping cart “Little Walt Disney Concert Hall – Beethoven” with him, which was all he needed to be happy.

As a the “old woman” in the class, I remember when the Disney movie Pocahontas hit the movie theatres. I took my baby sister to go see it, and had many days listening to the VHS copy being rewind over, and over. While the wild tale in the film is more fiction than fact, it did peek my curiosity as a teen, I had to check out books. What struck me was that she was a child, even during the time period, that she is said to have saved John Smith. Without trying to sound like I knew more than I did before

Furries, the furry community, FurAfin... (Oh my, the fuck am I doing with my life.) So I decided to pull a Square Enix and make another 7 Levels of Being a Furry: HD Remix. Or in this current case: Dante's Edition. So if you've read The Divine Comedy: Dante's Inferno, you should know that he believes there are seven levels of hell. (Okay, I know there are actually nine levels but for the sake of this argument, we're going with seven.) Seven levels of torture that get progressively worse for

The Disney Princess Effect Today’s society is overrun by media, therefor one of the easiest ways to capture a young person’s attention is through the television. Movies provide a powerful audio-visual experience for its audience. Exposing children to media at a young age has a giant impact on them when teaching basic beliefs and values of the society that they live in. Many children’s films portray real life dilemmas and common themes in our culture. This exposes young kids to relatable characters

Walt Disney has been making girls think that in order to be beautiful you have to be the perfect shape and size. (Shortridge). Some people believe that the Disney Princesses are great role models for children because Mulan teaches us to never give up on the strengths we have just because we are girls, Belle teaches us to never judge a book by its cover, and Pocahontas shows us real princesses are strong leaders.

quite a wonderful job analyzing Disney’s representations of evil over the decades between 1938 and 1974.

Throughout this response, I will be contrasting, in particular the idea of evil being prevalent in nature and in one’s self to evil

portrayal in the Disney princess films is important to analyze due to the reach of Disney movies among the children (Setoodeh & Yabroff, 2007, pp. 66–67) . These movies are molding the ideas of gender portrayal among the children. Disney and its princess have been identified as a powerful influence on children (Lacroix, 2004). These movies are contributing to a new “girlhood” that is largely defined by gender roles and consumption of related messages (McRobbie, 2008). Thus, the Disney Princess films

The magic of Harry Potter left the confines of paper and became a live-action favorite on November 14th, 2001. From its first debut to its final moments on screen, this eight-movie series has developed into a global phenomenon, and although its screenplay has been translated into hundreds of languages, there is one sound that connects audiences from around the world: an unaccompanied, 30 bar theme in E minor- the haunting sound of a celesta.

Mary Poppins is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. She was a cultural icon. Quoted by P.L. Travers, “we cannot have the extraordinary without the ordinary. Just as the supernatural is hidden in the natural. In order to fly, you need something solid to take off from. It’s not the sky that interests me but the ground. . . . When I was in Hollywood the [script] writers said, surely Mary Poppins symbolizes the magic that lies behind everyday life. I said no, of course not, she is everyday

As a child, I watched countless Disney movies. I loved all of the princesses, and each one inspired me: Belle’s intelligence, Ariel’s curiosity, Jasmine’s bravery, and Rapunzel’s sense of adventure. And though I always wanted to be a princess, I never felt any of them truly represented me. My favorite princess was Ariel, mainly because she had the same color hair as me. Though the Disney princesses had admirable characteristics, I often felt that their motivations were skewed, with most of the princesses

Unusual bird that inspired the creators of Harry Potter Animals can be very inspiring.
