Human Struggle in art form
I Know What Art Is: BMW
Everyone has their own idea and opinion on what they consider to be art. Maybe a picture of a baby playing outside, of one of Picasso's great works people know what they deem as art. In my opinion with out a doubt in my mind the auto maker Barbarian Moter Works (BMW) and all of their line of cars is most definitely art. BMW are so slick, beautiful, and graceful cars, made in Germany and shipped across the world they are in high demand by many people. As time goes on this line of cars seem to get better and better. From the new small compact one series to the road monster seven series these cars have it all. For these cars to be so successful year after year it takes true artist to design the cars to the consumers taste. These cars designers art true artist in their own respect and their ideas are implemented into these cars that are true works of art.
Fashion is Art
Fashion is art period. From clothing, shoes, jewelry, and even accessories it takes a lot to look good when you hit the streets. Before anyone ever speaks a word, most people will look a person up and down from head to toe. If you look tacky and do not match trust me people notice. It takes a creative eye to design and perfect clothing to be worn by the masses. Its easy as consumer of clothes to just take for granted all the clothes we wear. Ever single item of clothing had to be designed and analyzed by fashion designers all across the globe. So next time you hit the streets wearing yo high heels or that fresh polo know, that you are wearing a piece of art.

Free Post: Florida Gators
College Football is one, if not the most, popular sport in America. Every Saturday millions of fans filled college stadiums in anxious to cheer their team on to victory. From classic rivalry games like Michigan and Ohio State to powerhouse football like U.S.C, Georgia, and Notre Dame. But, in my opinion the school that captures the essence of college football is the University of Florida. In the fall thousand of fans pack its football stadium, dubbed The Swamp, to watch the likes of Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin perform. The awesome view of watching 100,000 fans do the gator chop to the deafening roar is inspiring. If you are new to America and you wanna see college football in its finest form head down to Gainesville and watch the Gators play!

Graffiti Beat Is Art!
When I researched the Graffiti I was amazing by my findings. The level of detailed, artistry, and time devoted to these pieces is astounding. It shocked me that people were even questioning its legitimacy as art. Some of the artwork involved in the Graffiti Beat is some of the most beautiful works I have ever laid my eyes on. From the mixture of warm and cool colors to the wonderful places Graffiti Beat is found, its no question of its artistic validity.
Appreciation:
When people begin to recognize the Graffiti Beat as art they will find it easy to appreciate it for what it adds to the art world. The works associated with the Graffiti Beat are innovative and creative pieces that could have only been created my talented artist. Its simple artist created artwork. Graffiti Beat Is Art!

Diorama Drama
- A diorama that taught me something I did not know.
- During the presentations of the dioramas I came across on in particular that touched me. It was the one discussing the prevalence of child abuse in America. It really opened my eyes to just how many children are being abused in America roughly 3.5 million to be exact.
A diorama that is very creative
In my opinion the diorama portraying the horrible conditions America's beaches are in due to pollution was very creative. I thought the person who did this diorama put a lot of time and effort into their work of art.
I oppose the opinion of this diorama
The diorama concerning the issue of a playoff in college football did not sit well with me. I strongly oppose the idea of college playoff, plus at least in this near future, that is not feasible anyway. College football is so popular all across America as is "so if it ain't broke don't fix it".
I oppose the opinion of this diorama but i can see where he/she is coming from.
The diorama discussing big business corporations and the greed struck me two different ways. They argued the point that businesses do not cater to customers which is sometimes true. But of businesses did not care about there consumer then why would we continue to buy the product?
The artist of this diorama was really bold. How?
Divorce is a social issue that affecting millions of people across the world. The artist of this certain diorama did this hot topic just by doing a bold but yet classy diorama. I thoroughly enjoyed this artwork.
How did it feel for me as a diorama artist--
- It felt so good for me to express my feelings for a worldly issues through a creative medium such as a diorama.
- I felt scared but proud of my artwork at the same time. I was scared because I did not know how the reactions of my peers would be to my issue and how their opinions would affect me. I was also proud because i felt I did a very good job in my diorama and i believe i put forth my best effort.
- The creative process gave me insight into how an artist works and operates to create a beautiful peace of work. It was also a very good experience to express how I feel about a topic through an unordinary avenue.

Film as Art
as Titanic inspired me with its touching and awesome story line. Also films likes Matrix catch my eye with amazing special effects and camera usage. But when it comes to films, one in particular is a step above the rest. Ray, staring Jamie Foxx, is a movie with a special and unique blend of all the essentials that go into making a good movie. One of the main reasons I consider this movie a work of art is the level of acting that went into making this movie. Jamie Foxx especially had to devote a great deal of effort research and extra time to imitating one of the greatest artist of all time Ray Charles. Foxx went to great lengths such as actually gluing his eyes closed during the filming of the movie to accurately portraying his character to the best of his abilities. Intangibles such as this make this a work of art.
