- Content- (its meaning): The feeling of power is given off from this painting.

- Composition (how it is structured): It's spaced over two pages of a book. The drawing is made up of multiple lines that over lap just barely. While they clearly show thicker darker parts that blend more together, much of it is much more obvious.

Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, Ca.

1826, black pencil

I really like the fact that the composition is just of an old man but the background is used to show what he looks like rather then lines. This technique is a really unique way to make the object stand out and yet reduce the amount of contour lines.

Giraffes are literally my favorite animals so the fact that it's on display is awesome. I'm going to name him Henry and I will love him forever.

Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon

oil on canvas, 1907

http://resources.saylor.org.s3.amazonaws.com/ARTH/ARTH111/ARTH111-9.1-LesDemoisellesdAvignon-Smarthistory-CCBYNCSA_files/ARTH111-9.1-LesDemoisellesdAvignon-Smarthistory-CCBYNCSA.html

Well this painting actually makes me uncomfortable because some of the subject matter us looking at me (the viewer) in a very confrontational manner. The subjects' faces and bodies are mostly all pointed at me as if to say "I am unashamed of what I do." It is also a funny way to confront this whole idea of women being the subject matter of femininity and sexuality. This piece particularly confronts the idea of upper class prostitutes vs street prostitutes.

Damien Hirst's cow art in a pickle

2008

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3672425/Damien-Hirsts-cow-art-in-a-pickle.html

This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Period.

In 1917 Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), a French–American artist, sent a manufactured enamel urinal, which he entitled Fountain and signed R. Mutt, to an exhibition in New York. Because he was the first to do it, I'd consider it group breaking but after that personally I do not think that it is art. Technically and by definition it is considered art by many people.
