Diane

Diane Arbus was an important photographer of the 20th century. Her pictures are very intensive. She liked to take pictures of normal people, but she thought that persons have a mask, and the only people that has a real face are the disable people. So in her secon part of her career she took some interesting pictures of disable people. Anyways, all of that "portait" have an intensive sight. The picture glues you and you can feel the passion that she had to take this picture. I think she really wanna trasmit how is strong the power of the soul trow the eyes.

It wasn't so easy understand the real meaning of her pictures, but I think that looking at pictures with Chen was very usuful. Togheter we could understand a lot of things that without a discussion I shouldn't understand.

Since now I hadn't find too many problems but the most intersting thing and at same time the most hard thing has been to have a discussion about the pictures.

I think that one of the hardest part is understand the real meaning of the first part of her job, while she was taking pictures for magazine. I'm actually reading some articles but without a real respons. I hope that for the next thursday I will find something interesting :)

With this I'll come back at my presentation...hopfully ready in two days..

Art or not art

There are a lot of kind of artist and a lot of kind of arts. We have just find which kind of art like to us. For example mr. Mapplethorpe is considering an artist right? For me he is not. If I look at some his pictures I can feel just something disgusting. I will never want one of his pictures on my wall. Edward Weston is just different for me. He is more "soft", but I don0t like his art anyways. But among all the artists that we have seen in the last lesson the worst for me is andreas serrano. His "shitty" pictures are horrible. Who is the most artistic? No one. Why? Maybe I can't understand them, I don't know. They are so strange.

All the modern arts is strange and I think that is harder to understand.

I love photography. I love take pictures. But I don't like this kind of pictures.

I really don't know what else I could say. :)

As Leonardo da Vinci investigated the depths of the human body and sectioned dead corps, so I try to section souls

Presentation experience

What can I say about the class's presentations...

During my university experience I had done a lot of presentations because every progects should be presented at the professor with a power point. I think that the most hard thing is work in a group because it's not so easy be agree with the other member of the group.

My class group had been a very good group. We could work togheter in a good way and I think that our job has been appreciated.

I think that one presentation has to be simple and has to understand to the listeners the main argument, it has not to be too much longer or with an entire paragraph. For this reason I think that our group has worked well. Our presentation focused the main point and we talk about that point.

I liked very much also the Daniel and Mandy presentation for the originality. A new way to show a job or a project. Very nice.

I saw very interesting things and I think that all the class invested a lot of time to explain their ideas. I think that we should work more to learn our speech, so we can have more contact with the listeners and have presentation more interactive.

People could work hard all their lives and still lose everything.
