My name is Ferrick Moore. I
currently attend Sacramento Charter High School as junior. Almost everyone can
agree that I'm a busy student. It's quite rare to see me in the same place for
more than a second. This is because I'm in so many leadership positions
like Student Government, School Site Council and other clubs, that once I step
out the car from getting dropped off from school, I hit the ground running.
Some may say I'm crazy to take on a tremendous amount of
extracurriculars but hey, somebody has to do it.
I usually don't stop working
when my eyes are set on something but the context travel opportunity
totally made me stop and realize what an amazing opportunity it is. Not only is
traveling my passion but also learning its magnificent history, culture,
fashion and context is something am absolutely looking forward to.
During a seminar I attended
about Paris; I've found that change is quite a funny thing. Relatively
speaking about traditional Paris to modern age Paris art. In the beginning,
around the 12th century, Paris started off very religious and detailed
with an obvious direct meaning when it came to art. But as times changed; the
passing of WW1 and the break of the industrial revolution, art became much less
detailed and religious with an unnoticeable indirect meaning behind it.
Take Pierre Mignard’s work for example compared to Pablo Picasso’s. (Pierre
Minard: Bottom and Pablo Picasso: Top)
Here's where the funny part comes in. As you can see, the two
paintings are definitely different than one another. The one on the left by
Minard is extravagant and in my opinion, very sophisticated while the other,
well, not so much. Picasso’s painting is mostly made up of shapes and colors
and a bit unclear if I would say my self. In fact, by the looks of his
painting, it's definitely a huge jump from traditional paintings like
Minard. This is a prime example of the change from traditional Paris to modern
Paris. Artist went from drawing at a distinct and detailed way to a creative
and imaginative level. For the most part, the real change I see is the change
in intellect. Yeah, Mignard’s painting looks sophisticated but you can
probably guess the meaning completely than Picasso’s. Picasso uses all those
shapes and colors to make the viewer have to analyze and interpret the shapes
and colors before really realizing what it is. I like this because his
paintings make you have to really think, kind of like a puzzle in which you
have to reinvented the shapes and colors to make a picture. I would be most excited
to see his paintings close up in Paris like, “ The Man With a Guitar “. Which
is one of his famous paintings. ( Aren’t they all! )
