Interactive Media

A career choice for me?

     I have actually never ever considered working in the field of Interactive media per se, but I have thought of doing something in the same category. I have only had a real desire to be a photographer. 

     I have Investigated 3 different career paths that interactive media can lead you to: Design, Management, and Content. The one that stood out the most to me is Content Marketing. Content Marketing is like a magazine/newspaper journalist. I am typically an outgoing and curious person, so I think journalism would be an enjoyable job for me. there are no REAL requirements for this job. I don't have to go to any schooling or anything, I just have to be committed.

Cotton Factory Work Girl

In this picture, we see a little girl standing in the center of interest. She has one large braid going off and hanging to the left of her face, and another braid cornrowed and directed towards the back of her. She is wearing a white blouse, or was white but has been spoiled likely from all of the hard work she does in the cotton factory. It is just a few shades lighter than her skin is. Her sleeves are rolled up to elbow length, and she has a serious, tight-lipped face. Not a scowl, but not a smile either. She is wearing a skirt with large pockets. She is standing between a windowsill and yarn making machines, stacked up together and in a line going as far as the eye could see.  Her dirty hands rest on both the windowsill and the yarn making the machine on either side of her. She doesn't look more than 12.

ART: What is it?

So, how exactly do you explain art?

     Art is . . . Something we all have in common. Art is a way of communication, a way to express your un-describable emotions. It's a way to get into someone's head. It can allow anyone to have a complete conversation with a mute person. Art can be as colourfull or as bland as you want it to be. As simple or as detailed as you want it to be. It can be ANYTHING. Words, paper, glass. Art is one of the only things you always have complete control over. the only limit is your imagination.

Lincoln on the Battlefield

     I am taking into consideration this powerful picture of Lincoln on the battlefield, looking for specific features throughout the picture. The first thing I that is almost impossible to miss is the three men standing side by side in the center of interest. A tent stands directly in the back of them, with trash thrown carelessly about, in it and around it. In the very background, there are what look like young oak or maple trees. Cloth and debris hang from a couple of the limbs. The three men in front all have good posture, Lincoln being in the center of the two. He is the only one with the tallest hat on, and he wears a fine formal coat, while the other men look more to the scruffy side. Lincoln stands with his hands to his sides, while the other two men have one hand in their coats. All of the men wear hats,  Lincoln wearing the tallest hat out of all of them. Probably to show superiority.
