Nature, Technology....

To me nature is " the birth of venus," by botticelli. Venus has nature all around her. The ocean and the wind. Venus as a goddess is also ideal for painting nature. Venus being blown around in a shell. Venus the god of love she is being born through nature. The medium is definitly oil on canvas, since in botticellis time there was no such thing as acyrilc, pastels or photography. Some would call this pornography however i disagree it is classical art! There is a sense of implied motion when one of the gods are blowing the wind towards her. This is such a beautiful painting and such a beautiful representation of Nature. For the comment in Chinese I would like toknow what it says in english please

Race Klan culture

The picture i am writing on is the wedding picture of the African Americans. It showed the rising of the African American middle class before the depression hit. It showed they were not much different from whites except for the color of their skin. Professor Stubblefield made an interesting comment how without the color of their skin they could be white. The colors of the photography use very interesting then again they didn't have color photography or digital photography back then. Makes this photo even more interesting. Makes the color of the clothes pop out, the color of the skin blend in with the background. Their is a sense of implied motion when you look at the bride and groom. This is a very good example of Clan and Race
