Beginning with the media of watercolor her senior year, Sara Dosenberry, realized her love for the world of art, creativity, and beauty. Jan Alfano, the inspiring art teacher favored watercolor, which is how Sara developed much of her technique. With her love of the all art she has realized an influence from music coming into play in some of her more current works. Another more current influence and most prominent in her works has been her past three vacations in Hawii. Displaying a very organic, realistic feel to her works, Sara enjoys potraying this through natural tropical scenes including seascapes, landscapes, and her favorite subject that appears repeatedly, palm trees. She is self expressive with her use of warm and bright colors, loose brush stroke, and realistic portrayals she is creating wonderful movement and fluidity. This provides a calmming relaxed and clean composition.
In the future, hoping to find a career restoring paintings, Sara has choosin Kendall College of Art and Design to fufill her education in this creative field. Included in her foundation classes is three dimentional design class, which Sara find to be especially enjoyable and very open to creativity, unlike most other foundation classes which are mostly teaching technique. She is allowed freedom of expression while she still maintains her organic, soft and relaxed style.
Beginning the semester with a very unique and original assignment, Sara responded using those same elements, using her very theme of palm trees. The project was a first and successful attempt to the beginning of three dimentional design. The nest objective was to create a modular form which she thought to be difficult and uncreative in terms of her exploring the projects limits. She was unsatisfied with her use of neitive space but still has learned a great deal from the project. A more current sculpture was developed with a media which was new to her, sculpey, a type of clay.
Inspiration comes from many forms; it comes from friends, family, music, television, and even strangers. Inspiration can come at one subtlety or it can hit you like a bus. Professional, amateur, or even a novice can be inspired to make something. No matter what, an artist needs inspiration in order to create something out of nothing or in order to help finish an already existing art work. Here the inspiration from Mariko Mori will be conveyed, to know what helps give her inspiration that motivates her to do the art work that she does. Whether she herself is doing the performance or it is just a sculpture in a gallery, her works are unique, just like a finger print. What gave her the inspiration on two of her works;
Crooked Beak of Heaven Mask is a big bird-figure mask from late nineteenth century made by Kwakwaka’wakw tribe. Black is a broad color over the entire mask. Red and white are used partially around its eyes, mouth, nose, and beak. Its beak and mouth are made to be opened, and this leads us to the important fact in both formal analysis and historical or cultural understanding: Transformation theme. Keeping that in mind, I would like to state formal analysis that I concluded from the artwork itself without connecting to cultural background. Then I would go further analysis relating artistic features to social, historical, and cultural background and figure out what this art meant to those people.
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.

The development and complete integration of the internet into everyday life has changed the modern perception of communication which, as a result, has changed the playing field for public relations practitioners everywhere. Social media opens new doors into the world of communicating and is undeniably useful for “anticipating, analyzing and interpreting public opinion, attitudes and issues that might impact, for good or ill, the operations and plans of the organization” (Horton, 2011). Through the successful creation of social media campaigns, an organization has the opportunity to create a positive public image, relationship, and lasting online presence that will benef...
When first approaching this work, one feels immediately attracted to its sense of wonder and awe. The bright colors used in the sun draws a viewer in, but the astonishment, fascination, and emotion depicted in the expression on the young woman keeps them intrigued in the painting. It reaches out to those who have worked hard in their life and who look forward to a better future. Even a small event such as a song of a lark gives them hope that there will be a better tomorrow, a thought that can be seen though the countenance by this girl. Although just a collection of oils on a canvas, she is someone who reaches out to people and inspires them to appreciate the small things that, even if only for a short moment, can make the road ahead seem brighter.
“And now take down the following important remark: the artist in me has been given the upper hand over the gentleman” (71). What does Lolita have to say about the morality of art?
“The word autism still conveys a fixed and dreadful meaning to most people—they visualize a child mute, rocking, screaming, inaccessible, cut off from human contact. And we almost always speak of autistic children, rarely of autistic adults, as if such children never grew up, or were somehow mysteriously spirited off the planet, out of society. Or else we think of an autistic “savant” a strange being with bizarre mannerisms and stereotypies, still cut off from normal life, but with uncanny powers of calculation, memory, drawing, whatever—like the savant portrayed in Rain Man. These pictures are not wholly false, but they fail to indicate that there are forms of autism which do not incapacitate in the same way, but may allow lives that are full of event and achievement, and a special sort of insight and courage too” (Grandin, 12).
Art is something that has been around since humans have roamed the earth. It has been created by millions of different people, and has been influenced by many things. One incredibly big influence on art has been religion. Artists usually create work to express feelings and convey different meanings. It is no surprise that religion plays a significant role in this creation.
The use of social media substantially helps gather all types of fans of a brand or company together and allows them to interact and cooperate with one another, create an identity and communicate their interest for this specific brand or set of products. Take for example Kraft Foods campaign for the one hundredth anniversary for Oreo cookies. “Kraft launched the campaign because of its concern that Oreo did not "own top of mind awareness for men and women age 18-24" (Mitchell). What Kraft did was establish the primary target audience, and implemented a strategy to increase the traffic to their Facebook page. “The results of the year-long Oreo campaign were 231 million media impressions and almost a 200% increase on its Facebook page” (Mitchell). With Kraft’s marketing planned accordingly, it created word-of-mouth awareness,...
Social media marketing is a simple option to add to the current promotional tactics being used by an organization. It is no longer optional; social media is mandatory for nonprofit organizations (Stengel). Studies have shown that many people think social media techniques complement traditional media; even more believe that blogs and social media influence the news coverage in traditional media tactics (Wright and Hinson 2008). There are a number of professionals that believe embracing social media is the only way for public relations to continue in the digital age. For example, Robert J. Key explains, “Public relations in the digital age requires understanding how your key constituents are gathering and sharing information and then influencing them at key points; doing so requires strategies that embrace the digital age” (Wright and Hinson 2008). Larry Weber, a renowned professional in implementing global public relations campaigns, also agrees that the communications world is moving in a drastically digital direction and in order to communicate effectively, one must understand this transformation (Wright and Hinson 2008).

Digital publics are those targeted through both, Social Networking Sites (SNS) and Social Media. Although everyone capable of accessing social media has the possibility of becoming a digital public, only those that respond or take part in communicating with an organization through that social media platform are considered digital publics. Essentially, the 60% of Americans who own a smartphone are potential digital publics.
Social media avenues are a new, upcoming, and popular way to advertise for businesses and for people to connect to each other. Alexis Ohanian once said that "Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They 're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar." (Ohanian) Powerful usage of social media can have a big impact.
