Ethnography -- “the study and systematic recording of human cultures” of Rubber Stamp Artists
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses ethnography and serves as an ethnographic report of the unique “social world” of artists who create their art with rubber stamps. The ethnographic review of one person’s particular “social world” can be considerably simplified when one thinks more of the many passions most people hold and those in which they participate in that passion with a group of fellow enthusiasts, fans, creators, collectors. Or, they are members of distinct ethnic, religious, cultural, or social groups. In other words, people who are brought together and connected in ways that they have chosen rather than groups of people who are born into a certain group. Such factors as a common activity, unique vocabulary, socialization, identities, and relationships are considered in the context of rubber stamp artists. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Examples of Paintings, Photography and Modern Video Art in Regards to Societal Awareness and Sensitivity
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the transition of paintings, photography and modern video art in regards to societal awareness, change and post-colonial views. In the last two centuries, art has been used in different ways to portray societal expectations and norms and the acceptance or denial of art has led the way to societal change. The paintings of William Bouguereau depict perfection in regards to heavenly and pure images of women, children and mythological creatures. Bouguereau used his work to escape the societal realities and portray images which he believed people wanted to see and taught methods in art he believed that artists wanted to learn. Unfortunately, Bouguereau maintained his traditional and classic styles during the evolution of Modernist and Impressionist painters and his paintings were considered unrealistic. French colonists used photography in Africa in the mid 19th century as a way of depicting “realistic” images they believed people wanted to see of tribal Africa. However, despite the perception that photography was “realistic”, the images portrayed of Africans were those which were stereotypical portrayals of Africans as “savages” “needing” to be civilized by Imperialism; a concept accepted by European society. Lastly, modern video artists such as Montreal’s Nelson Henricks raise social awareness and self-identity by questioning societal norms, and viewers and critics of Henricks’ work feel the need to step back and examine conventional views.
