Joan Jonas video review

Jonas plays up her use of body movements and sound in her videos. She translates her thoughts thoroughly in these videos and she uses her work to communicate her thoughts and emotions. She often uses the space itself to convey these feelings, like in her video Wind. On the windiest day of the year, Jonas used the weather to create emotion in her works. She often uses multiple artists as well to make a collaborative effort on her work. Overall, I respond well to these videos, and I respect Jonas as a creator using the medium of film to convey herself.

Students our age are left to pick up the piec...

In reality, I am working for a Philadelphia firm that aids social betterment through art: possibly a mural paining program for kids, becoming an artistic director of a building, or even starting my path to becoming a lobbyist for an artistic cause. I am on the way to becoming successful, but I am happy being the person I want to be. Overall, I know that I can not have everything planned out and set within five years from now, but I want to have an idea of what I'm planning on doing and where I want to go. By this point, the person who is Olivia Hailey Smith ...
