    Mark Bradford's 'When We Ride'

    Mark Bradford was the artist that I took a look at. His creativity was wonderful abstract, catching my eye piece after piece. The particular artwork that I looked at was his “When We Ride” created in 2006. The media is a mix, which was created into a collage on canvas. The canvas was at its large of 46 3/8 x 62 ¼ inches. This piece of artwork is located in the city of art itself; Los Angeles, California. I believe this canvas collage tells an untold story through contrast and rhythm, light and color, and texture.…

    Where There's A Wall By Joy Kogawa

    The poem “Where There’s a Wall” by Joy Kogawa describes the historical event of internment or concentration camps using a wall as a metaphor. The author does not outright identify and describe this unfortunate historical event but readers can use the imagery and symbols along with their historical knowledge to be able to determine that the author could be writing about a person in an internment or concentration camp. The poem is universal in the fact that it may not be interpreted in a historical way by one that does not have as much knowledge about history. These type of readers may interpret it as the wall being an obstacle in the way of a goal. This aspect of the poem makes it very interesting because it can be interpreted in many unique ways to different readers.…

    Judith Leyster's The Last Drop

    At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I have selected “The Last Drop.” The painting was painted by Judith Leyster on 1609. It is done in oil on canvas and the size of the painting is almost the same like any others that about a foot wide, length and width. The condition of the painting seems to be in a new condition, as if the painting was never touched at all. The texture of this painting have a smooth and rigid touch to it. The painting is consisted of one man is sitting on a chair binge drinking that looks like an alcoholic beverage, the second man is seen standing wearing a flamboyant dress as he is seen dancing while smoking and holding a cup, as he seems to ignore the first guy. The third one is a skeleton lurking behind the man drinking,…

    Cheryl Swope's Simply Classical

    Cheryl Swope begins her book, Simply Classical, by introducing the reader to her two children, whom she and her husband adopted. It was not long after adopting the children, who were twins, that Swope and her husband realized they were different. Both children suffered from a multitude of handicaps that made it impossible for them to develop on their own like normal children. These first chapters describe the effort, as well as the various methods, that Swope employed to help her children lead lives that were as normal as possible. Many times throughout the book, Swope lauds Classical Education, as the key to all her children's successes, but the time and effort that Swope put into training her children…

    Bonnie Tsui's Choose Your Own Identity

    In Bonnie Tsui’s, Choose Your Own Identity, she discusses the flexibility that lays within racial identity. In Tsui’s essays she states that even though our race has such a huge roll in the way we make our political and societal decisions, racial identity has become fluid. In her mind, we are making a come back and prioritizing the importance of who we identify as, rather than focusing on what we are. In Tsui’s own words, “In a strange way, the renewed fluidity of racial identity is a homecoming of sorts, to a time before race - and racism - was institutionalized.” (Tsui, 2)…

    Rachel Leguin's She Unnames Them

    In She Unnames Them, the narrator’s name is not mentioned, but it seems to be referring to Eve. To demonstrate, the narrator mentions that, “I resolutely put anxiety away, went to Adam, and said, “You and your father lent me this—gave it to me, actually” (LeGuin 1985). This signifies that the narrator is Eve. The narrator expresses a sense of unity towards animals, because she wants both her and animals to be treated equally. As a result, the narrator convinced the animals that names are not important, they are only used as identifiers. The narrator wants to feel close to animals because of their existence on Earth and their connection with nature, which symbolizes an ecofeminist position. According to Le Guin, “among the domestic animals,…

    Outliers By Mia Ham

    She places her hands on her knees and bends over in order to catch her breath. She looks out at the goal and the goalkeeper, then takes a quick glance at her teammates– her eyes scanning the stadium as she does. The vivid colors of the American and Chinese flags stand out no matter where she looks. The sound of silence engulfs her, and she can feel the audience’s eyes drilling holes into her. She takes her hands off her knees, stands up and looks down at the ball. The Chinese goalkeeper keeps her eyes focused on her opponent and the ball, making sure she does not look away for even a second. She takes a deep breath, and is overwhelmed by the smell of dirt and sweat. She looks down at the ball and then the goalie.…
