Tina Modotti Even though Tina Modotti is considered a Mexican photographer because her artistic career was mostly based in Mexico and the American Southwest, she was born in Undine, Italy in 1896. She moved to California in 1913 and was employed in various labor-intensive factory jobs. She was first known mainly because of her relationship with photographer Edward Weston, for whom she was a model in the 1920s; but her abstract, portrait, and still-life photographs “showed her to be an accomplished
Frida Kahlo Frida Karlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She claimed that her birthdate was July 7,1910, but her birth certificate shows that it was July 6,1907. This is just one of the many lies Frida told about her life. At age 6, Frida was stricken with polio, which caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other. It was to remain that way permanently. When Frida entered high school she was a tomboy full of mischief who became
In 1928, Kahlo joined the Communist Party at the recommendation of Italian-American photographer and leftist activist Tina Modotti, who introduced Rivera to Kahlo. In 1922, however, before Kahlo got to meet Diego through Modotti, in fact, she already met him by chance when he created a mural at the National Preparatory School (Kettenmann Andrea, 2002, p. 22). According to Rivera’s memoir, Kahlo was a plucky girl who suddenly showed him her paintings while he was painting a mural. Rivera, who noticed
Frida Kahlo: A Life in Pain “They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my reality,” said Frida Kahlo describing her art work (Frida Kahlo n.d.). Kahlo was a Mexican artist from the mid-20th century. She was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico, and the daughter of German and Mexican descendants (Lucie-Smith 1999). During her lifetime Kahlo embarked on many hardships caused by illness, heartache, and love. She became known for her haunting self portraits
Critical Analysis on a Tina Modotti Photograph Tina Modotti was from a very poor working class society. She was brought up in the northeast part of Italy, in Udine, Friuli. She was born at the tail end of the industrial revolution, in 1896. However, you could say, by all means, that her village hadn't changed the slightest since the seventh century. She lived vigorously throughout her childhood, working endless hours in a silk-textile factory to earn a cash flow and to support the family
film Cady is used as a messenger and is forced to hang out with the Plastics and gradually loses her individual personality and remakes herself in the image of Regina. The film was directed by Mark Waters, produced by Lourne Michaels and written by Tina Fey who also stars as Ms. Norbury who is Cady’s Maths teacher. ‘Mean Girls’ was based on the New York Times best-selling book Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence by
perfection confusing. One person is reaching for their “perfection” while another is reaching for a total different “perfection”. The whole idea is just a distorted opinion. Another problem with striving for the “ideal” is that there is no such thing. Tina Fey said, “Every gir...

make a difference in the world I wanted to bridge gaps between races, gender, generalizations and stereotypes. . If single-handedly saving the world did not work out, I could be a rock star like Carol King, Stevie Nicks, or my personal favorite, Tina Turner. But teaching? Nope. Not for me. After graduation, the only job I could find to keep a roof over my head was, teaching! I went to work in January after a beloved teacher found it necessary to retire mid-year. I was teaching high school history
Wedding Reception Speech – Best Man Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you’ll all agree it’s been a fantastic day so far, but unfortunately for every silver lining there’s a cloud, and I’m yours. For those of you that haven’t bought me a drink yet, I’m Simon and I’ve been sentenced to being Randy’s best man today. It’s said that, being asked to be best man is one of the greatest honours you can be given, on the other hand it’s also one of the most terrible things you can do to
Movie Analysis: Mean Girls The movie that I chose to do my analysis on, is Mean Girls because it is my all-time favorite movie. I watched it a million times, it never gets old and plus I know every single line in the movie. The main character Cady, played by Lindsay Lohan, exhibits how to go from being a nerd, popular, hated and rehabilitated all in one school year. It’s hilarious movie about high school but, it also covers many interpersonal concepts that we learned in class like: verbal communication
~Motocross~ Have you ever wanted to race motocross? If so this what you need to race and how to ride. Racing motocross is a very fun adrenaline pumping sport to do. Just sometimes you need to know more about it before you get started. Video games will never be the same as actually racing just because you can’t feel the power, nor what its like with 30 people racing beside you. It's a feeling that will be left under the helmet of the rider it will only be your feeling if you have a dirt bike and helmet
Film Analysis Paper: Mean Girls Introduction Mean Girls (2004) is a movie that captures the challenging obstacles, excitements, and the letdowns that the adolescents face during high school. Although the movie is greatly exaggerated and does not hold to the true essence of reality, the film portrays the struggles an individual faces during adolescence. The protagonist of the film, Cady Heron, moves into the suburbs after being raised in Africa by her two scientist parents. As Cady is now enrolled
The goals that mothers set for their young daughters while trying to protect them displays a thin line between protecting and overprotective. In the book Bossypants by Tina Fey, she talks about her life experience. Tina Fey devoted a whole chapter of “prayers” she has for her daughter in “The Mother’s Prayer for Its Daughter”. The prayers contain different standards, and goals that she made for her daughter. When a woman becomes a mother she must take full responsibility for the upbringing of a small
Paige Bushnell Gender Development Film Review #1 For my first film review, I have chosen to watch and discuss Mean Girls, a movie about a previously homeschooled girl from Africa, Cady. Cady is portrayed as the stereotypical shy and naive “new girl” who is introduced to the pecking order of public high schools and the stereotypical cliques with which the student body divides itself when she befriends outcasts, Janis and Damian. Janis and Damian become Cady’s genuine friends, and we see examples
would-be mothers as comedians” (Coyle). Although the comment was originally said in 1998, Lewis didn’t seem to change his mind when asked about it in 2013 at a film festival. It’s eerie to think some men see women as nothing but birthing machines. Tina Fey, another successful unruly woman, responded to a question about how she feels about Lewis’ comment in her New York Times bestseller,
gelatin silver print. A gelatin silver print, are black and white film and print papers. There are many reasons behind Weston’s, eroticization of photographs. Weston declared that his photographs had no psychosomatic qualities, hence his consort Tina Modotti, was disturbed by his photographs. “Weston’s pictures tend to converge as he clearly emphasizes anthropomorphic qualities in the sensuous folds of the dunes, while the bodies of his female models are abstracted until they seem more like rocks or
Frida Kahlo The feminist icon, Frida Kahlo , was known as a Mexican self-portrait artist. One of Kahlo’s famous quotes is, “ I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” This quote demonstrates the meaning and drive behind her work. Frida Kahlo was an important figure in history because of her art and how each piece told it’s own story. Frida Kahlo was born on July 6,1907 in Coyocoán, Mexico. Frida and her 6 siblings grew up in the house she was born
Since the marriage in August 21st, 1929 Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo have been Mexico’s most important couple artists. While Diego was famous for painting in large murals, Frida was only known as his wife. However, in 1938, Frida’s small paintings were starting to get attention. Her style was unique, she had a talent that not many other artists did. She was willing to go to places where no one else has ever gone. Just like Frida, Diego had his own style. They both focused on the working class and
