    Site Specific Art: Taking Location into Account

    Site-specific art is artwork created to exist in a certain place. Typically, the artist takes the location into account while planning and creating the artwork. Outdoor site-specific artworks often include landscaping combined with permanently sited sculptural elements. Indoor site-specific artworks may be created with the architects of the building. The term is sometimes used for any work that is permanently attached to a particular location. One type of site-specific artwork is earthworks which involves actually manipulating the landscape on a large scale. This type of artwork is going to involve challenges that other artists will never encounter. Most paintings or drawings will be displayed in a climate controlled environment, they are usually small enough to be moved or stored without too much difficulty, and the materials used belong to the artist. Any work of art that is a part of the changing landscape of this planet is subject to those same processes and will not be a static work of art. Another consideration with earthworks is ownership of the site and the materials. A painter need only buy his canvas and paints or a potter his clay and glazes, but when your medium is the earth itself, permission must be granted from whoever owns the land. Care must also be taken to ensure no environmental damage is done.…

    The Movie 'Crash' Sequence Analysis

    Paul Haggis’s Crash was released in 2004; it dissects the theme of racism and how individuals of different ethnicities can all intertwine in a society. Characters of various race are introduced at a rapid pace to viewers quite early in the film. It is not until later that the connections and social tensions between the characters are successfully revealed. The continuity of the editing is a key component to connecting the plot, and allowing it to advance in a cohesive manner. Editing makes or breaks the outcome of a film. In this sequence, cutting is used to deepen one’s comprehension of the picture by portraying the relationships between the characters, being involved in their emotions, in addition to becoming fully cognizant of the symbolic images that influence the scene.…

    Essay On Native American Culture

    Whether it’s watching a documentary on how the Great Wall of China was built, or eating escargot at the local French restaurant, learning more about other cultures is something that interests me. As an Indian-American I wanted to learn more about my heritage and culture. This melding of cultures has allowed me to experience the best of both worlds—a sophisticated and diverse American life blended along with the traditional culture and colorful customs of my Indian heritage. With my parents’ increasing support of my interest to learn more about and visit the land of my ancestors, we decided to travel to India a couple of summers ago.…

    This festival is associated with the Buddhist story about Mu Lian, the eldest monk under the discipline of Buddha. His widowed mother was a wicked and cruel woman who committing many terrible crimes. She was sent to the 18th level the very bottom of Hell where she became a hungry ghost. Mu Lian learned of her suffering and went down to hell to help try and alleviate her pain with rice and water but failed as the food quickly caught fire before it could reach his mother’s lips. Mu Lian then asked Buddha for advice and he was told to perform rituals with sincerity on the 15th day of the seventh month and prepare food for other ghosts as well. The Gods were so emotionally moved by his act that they…

    Essay 1

    Thursday evening I was privileged to attend the 40th Annual Festival of Native Arts. The festival is held once a year in early spring in the Great Hall at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The festival not only brings together all of the different groups from around Alaska, but sometimes even the vicinity of Russia, Canada, and Japan as well. The festival was started in 1973 by a group of current UAF students, staff and faculty members. The festival was a hit from start and has grown into a warm and welcoming event to kick off spring and the roots that tie down the heritage of the Alaskan people. Dance, art, music and culture are all demonstrated throughout the three day festival, and I was lucky enough to attend four of the live music and dance groups.…
