25. Artists in society

I think that everyone has an artist inside. Does society shape our artists or do the artists shape society. As I have stated before, many well known artist are not appreciated or recognized as artists until after their death. Some may have one piece of work that stands out to many people. Then those people go and look or other works by that artist. If more people would view work with an open mind and not try to stay "inside the box" imagine what the world would be today. Society just doesn't show enough appreciation to those that design or create unique masterpieces. Artists have the ability to conform to society or they can create society.

14. Poetry Slam

I'm not that much into poetry. Most song lyrics are considered to be poetry. Unfortunately now days when I think of poetry in song lyrics I think of rap. I myself cannot stand rap. I love the ballads. Robert Frost was the main poet that I remember from childhood. But, if we think of all the nursery rhymes and childrens toons they are all very good poetry. So I can only slam that, that is set to rap music.

13. My right brain, my left brain.

I like being left brain. Above are photos that appeal to me. These are calming and ordinary. The right brain seems to be more caiotic. Not thought trough.

12. My photographic eye.

I took pictures of my pets. I tried closeups of heads and eyes.

11. Fashion as art

Most people would think of Fashion as being art if it is a name brand items that costs lots of money and is everywhere. I think of it as sometimes the Retro Look. Cyndi Lauper is an artist that not only created art through music and video. But she also did a great deal with fashion. She wore what she wanted and it still looked good. Fashion as an art form can come from many angles. Some even used items that some would throw away as trash. She could make anything look and fit the the part that she wanted.

10. This music video is a true work of art.

I love the music video Thriller by Michael Jackson. I always loved it, yes as a child. But now that he is gone it is coming back to life. I have seen many local schools doing tributes by recreating the video. I'm glad that this is something from my past that has been revived. I tried looking for the news links where these schools were highlighted but did not find them. Guess I should have written them down :(

9. Dance

Here is a dance to welcome us to ST. Thomas Island, I believe. The native people were there encouraging us to join in a native dance.
