music: my favorite form of art
Submitted by aimee_xoxo on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 21:12On thursday, my english professor gave us the opportunity to attend "Lets Get Free: A Hip Hop Theory of Justice" at John Jay College for extra credit. It was about the art of hip-hop and the underlying message it can sometimes convey. I often forget how music is just like all other forms of art, it expresses a message just like paintings and photographs can. When you read the lyrics of some songs, its often the artist expressing how he or she feels about issues.
Snapshot 2009
Submitted by Jerrica Williams on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 20:11I really enjoyed the Snapshot 2009 day for Macaulay students. It was suprisingly a beautiful day in New York City that Sunday. The skies were clear and it was oddly warm weather to be mid-October. I knew I didn't want to take the event too literally--I didn't want to take a picture of an actual neighborhood. I wanted to take a picture of something that was important to me. The challenge was to take a picture of an area where you can imagine yourself when older, a place you can come home. The image of "home" is what led me to the Conde Nast building in Times Square.
"My Neighborhood"
Submitted by im.mattlaw on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 17:55The Hangout- The first photo was taken in my "old" neighborhood, where I use to live until recently. Basically, my entire childhood revolved in the suburban block. I loved walking around the block at night, I loved hanging out with my friends, and I loved the atmosphere overall. This neighborhood represents happiness, family, friendship, and tranquility. In the photo, the viewer can see me hanging out with my close friends during the night, my favorite timing.
