Photo Page 143 Beyond Words
As I looked at this picture of two girls and a guy I can’t believe how times have changed. With all of them having gaudy piercings on their tongue, nose, or lips made them hard to miss. Under the picture it talked about how teenagers and how they expressed themselves in those years. It made me think about how my friends and myself expressed ourselves over the past few years. Fads come and go, just like how piercing your face has somewhat died down, we are more likely to get a tattoo instead. Part of me feels like the people who put holes in there bodies were smarter than us now cause they’re not permanent.
Advertisement Item 3.15 On the Cover of Rolling Stone; Photo Montage 2006-2007
When I saw the page full of Rolling Stone magazine covers I wanted to take my time to stop and look at all the covers and read what was written about them. The fact that some of my favorite artist were on the page I wanted to look at their pictures and what they said about them. It was about our obsession today with celebrities and how they were portrayed in the cover. A picture can really say 1000 words. Each cover had a story to tell in itself.
Newspaper Article New York Times: Chinese Remake the “Made in Italy” Fashion Lable
I saw the title and I love fashion so I chose this article to read. I knew that china has always made the nock off version of name brand items for years but I didn’t know that they moved to do it. The fact that people will move to a different country to work to make an illegal product is unreal to me. “Made in Italy” means many things when it is on a an article of clothing or bag that you buy. It means that what I am buying is not only real, but that it is the made out of the best fabrics out there. Now they are making fake items in Italy now to. This is upsetting to think that even today you can spend much of your money on something that is not even real.
Painting Item 7.11 The Freedom Chair, 1991. Beyond Words
The chair was different than others that I have seen. Not only was it just a chair in the painting it was completely see through. I could see how the chair was made and saw all the outlines of it. The painting is so plain in its subject but it is so complex in its design. The chair itself is truly a work of art.
Hmm... Fascinating that you should write about a chair. I wish I had remembered to do this assignment, you make it sound like fun TT-TT. And the tattoo thing is spot on. I've wanted to get one myself, but I always end up talking myself out of it. What would my grandkids think? 0_o I know I'd be a little wigged out if my grandmother had a tattoo. To be honest, I was a bit confused by the wording in the second section. That may just be me and my ignorance to all things fashion, but clarity would boost your point of view on it. I'm still bummed I didn't write one of these myself... Thanks for the interesting read :P
