At the International Center of Photography we I saw many photographs and collages by John Wood. John Wood played with photography to send a message to his audience. His collages and pictures were a little controversial and political. I saw one photograph that immediately caught my attention and I knew immediately that this was the photograph I wanted to analyze further and write about. I thought about what the picture represented and what John Wood was trying to say or ask his viewers.

 Today I went to visit my family in New Jersey. On the bus I met a 22-year-old man, Marty, from Kentucky. He was staying at his friend’s house in New Jersey, and was a little confused about which stop to get off at. Luckily we were going to the same place so I was able to show him where to get off the bus. We started talking and he explained that this was his first trip to New York. In fact, this was the first time he had ever been on a plane. He told me how he was so nervous about getting on the plane that his skin turned pale like my skin.

     Art, to me, is a way that one expresses his views, his ideas, and his personality. Art can be displayed through paintings, poetry, music, etc. One form of art is fashion. The way one dresses can represent different aspects of his personality. People often try to express themselves through the clothing and accessories that they wear. Designers are artists who piece together garments using fabric and creativity; your body is a canvass to express yourself using different colors and styles of clothing.
