Ai Weiwei's Moon Chest Analysis
Ai WeiWei's Moon Chest appeared to me as a giant set of wooden dominoes. Being large rectangular prisms, WeiWei's piece contained 2 holes through the front of each prism. This piece piqued my curiosity due to the 2 holes each prism contained. Ai WeiWei's Moon Chest is unique in that the holes of the artwork simulates the stages of a lunar eclipse (Ai WeiWei's Work &

    Jadeite Cabbages: Museum Analysis

    Although most of the historical elements are locked in the vault, the museum still chose some charming ones and put them in the exhibition hall to attract people to realize how amazing Chinese culture is. The most popular pieces are Jadeite Cabbages. They are six pieces of a set and which were brought to the empire of Ching Dynasty about three hundred years ago. Each Jadeite Cabbage has different shape and affiliates, for example, some of them have insects on their leaves. Because they are so small, perhaps two or three inches, and very dedicate that you might need a magnifier to watch their details, people can understand what kind of handcraft the Chinese jade masters already had. Nowadays, the museum director understands that they could not…

    Shang Chinese Period: A Narrative Report

    The illustration I chose from the Shang Chinese Period is a bronze wine vessel called a Zun beaker. It is from the Shang period (c.1600-1050 B.C.E.), 13th-11th century B.C.E. Wine vessels such as the Zun vessel played an important role in ritual offerings to the ancestors worshipped by ruling leaders of the Shang Dynasty. As the picture illustrates, it is decorated with important mask designs with the two eyes and c-shaped eyebrows in the middle. At the bottom of the beaker, there are two eyes and c-shaped horns, and at the very top of the beaker, it looks like there is another mask with the eyes, nose and this time with a c-shaped mouth. The beaker looks heavy in weight and has a tall flaring mouth.…

    Hall Inequality

    The creation of gender has contributed to inequality in American society in many ways. The beginning of this inequality began with Hall. Hall was an intersex human being, born with both male and female parts. Hall was brought forth into the General Court of Virginia because Hall dressed as both men and women when beneficial and “people were confused about Hall's sexual identity” (Kerber 35). In order to find out what Hall's identity was, three women; Alice, Dorothy, and Barbara looked over Hall's body. All three of the women decided that Hall was a woman. In the disagreement over Hall's identity, the owner who was a male named John Tyos, declared he was a male. Now starting from an early time period it showed that even though three women examined…

    She Bring Disgrace Upon The Imperial China Analysis

    Though the writer had a genuine interest in training women, Pan Chao writes specifically for women because she has the power to influence them, which she doesn’t have with man; therefore by influencing women, she hopes to influence man as well. In the introduction, the Chao shows concern for her son, Ku: “I fear that my son Ku may bring disgrace upon the Imperial Dynasty” (pag. 320). However, Chao knows that she can’t do much about her son –he is grown up and probably wouldn’t take her advices as much as a woman would– and she can’t count on her husband either who was probably dead by then. So she turns to women so that she can change not only future generation of women, but men as well. She wants to influence women and man alike. Concerning her preoccupation with her son, Chao intended to target her daughters, or the women on her family, which includes, perhaps, her son’s wife.…

    Legion of Honor

    The Torso of a God is a sculpture located at the Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco. The sculpture is of a pharaoh holding a staff in front of its chest with his left hand. In his right hand he is holding something that could possibly be a bell or a key, by his side. The piece looks as though it never had legs past the knees due to the stability that exists and the fact that it appears to be flat on the area it sits on. The head has broken off so that only the headpiece and beard can be seen and it is broken at an angle that the right shoulder is missing as well. The left arm is also missing except for the hand and shoulder. The back of the piece is flat as though the piece was originally located against a wall. This piece is about three feet tall and about two feet wide. The piece is smooth all over and even though certain areas are carved out, the piece still has a smooth glossy look. The statue is wearing some sort of skirt that covers the area from the hips all the way down to the bottom of the piece. It also looks like the God is wearing a bracelet on his right wrist as well as a necklace underneath the beard and headpiece. The skirt and headpiece are shown by many vertical lines next to one another with a border around them to show where they stop. Other than the left leg that is slightly stepping…
