Final Post
For me, the highlight of this semester was visitting the MFA and writing about the Ansel Adams photos. Going to a museum and seriously studying art is not something that I would do on my own, but I really enjoyed thinking deeper about Adams's work and other works in the museum as well.
One skill that I notice I now have is the inability to look at an image in an advertisement without picking it apart. I do it especially when I'm riding the T. I literally cannot look at the advertisements without trying to figure out what audience the advertisers were trying to appeal to, the signficance of small details in the image, the use of colors, etc...I definitely never thought about these things before taking this class, so it has opened up my eyes in that respect.
This class exposed me to practices that go on in the media, such as the objectification of women, that I knew existed, but gave very little thought to. Watching the movie "Killing Us Softly" made me realize that the objectification of women is a topic that I, as a woman, should have more passion for. My goal for the future is to act more aware of this issue and challenge it more often instead of just accepting it as "the way things are," like I did before this class.
