Abuse & Assault (physical and sexual)

Throughout the history of our society, women have not been treated well. They have been treated as property, have had to worry about assault and abuse, and have been treated as unequal to men. Likewise, those with disabilities have been denied access to buildings and jobs, have been subject to abuse, and have been ignored by the rest of society. Because of the way that both of these minorities are treated, when a woman is also disabled, she faces more obstacles than normal. One of these difficulties is violence, abuse, and assault. …

Media is a central part of American life today. It provides information and entertainment and comes in many different forms such as television, newspapers, books, radio, etc. It plays a vital role in the politics of this country and because of that, wars.

Adolf Schreyer’s The Burning Stable, done in oil on canvas, illustrates a stable being burned and horses who are desperate to escape.

Schreyer uses wide, impressionistic brushstrokes that seem to just be thrown onto the canvas with no thought. Examples of this can be found in the plants in the foreground and parts of the fence holding the horses in. The main light source is coming from the top left corner and shining down and across the horses. The fire in the back of the stable does not act as a light source as the horses are not backlit.

In Anselm Kiefer’s Die Orden der Nacht (The Orders of the Night) and Morris Graves’s Self-Portrait, both artist’s try to communicate how they view themselves through their different uses of medium, color, and form.

Caravaggio’s Entombment is an altarpiece painted in 1603–04 with oil paint on canvas. Perspective is used on ground slab so it seems to butt out into the viewer’s space. The viewer then seems to be standing in the grave receiving the lowered body of christ. This can be traced to the idea that when someone receives christ, they are saved. Another religious idea that is present within this composition is descending to hell and ascending to heaven. When christ was crucified, he was buried and descended to hell for three days in order to save those who would otherwise go…

Roads are commonplace within developed countries. They help users get themselves, or goods, from point A to point B. However, developing countries lack this privilege of easy access to roads. In order to understand why roads are difficult to come by but incredibly important, I will address the history, debate, and technology of roads in developing countries.

Developing countries goal is to be seen as important on a global scale. In order to do this, they have to find a way to connect those who live in physical, social, or political isolation in order to alleviate poverty [1]. In order…

A book with no pages, C. Davida Ingram

C. Davida Ingram’s exhibit, A book with no pages, offers up a conversation about black people within different contexts. By placing black people in the forefront of various scenes and in various outfits, Ingram challenges what is perceived as normal.

There are two videos in the exhibit and multiple photos on the wall. The photos are all similar, if not the same as the scenes seen in the videos. There is a lot of repetition throughout the exhibit, the images repeat scenes in the video and within the video, there’s the repetition…

Facebook is an online social media service that allows users to post and share information between their network. In September of 2006, Facebook launched its first ever News Feed. Before this, users were only allowed to manually search other user’s profiles in order to get the latest news about them.
