"Understanding of art as an expression of a particular society" There are many different kinds of societies in the world today. As there are, green societies, mechanical societies, poor societies, and rich societies to name a few. My picture deplicts the rich society, a society of class, of elegance, and of fame. Many people strive for the higher class, and some of these people spend their entire lives trying to be accepted into this society. Whether a person needs to be thought of as high class because they are, or because they want to be. This chameleon shows that not only can this animal blend in to its surroundings, but that it can also blend in to appeal to the higher class. Think of it as a disguise to fool others into thinking that you are something that you are not.

"Appreciate the value of expressing in visual form one’s personal experience" A goal of personal expression, in how I created this particular picture and why I did so. First, I started to draw a breaking pillar that one could find in any sort of fortress or castle. My mind then thought of the idea of having some sort of acrobatic figure jumping across this pillar. Then, I started thinking about ninjas and their skills, and their own motives, such as assassinating a powerful figurehead or protecting the inocent. I then added the rope, so that this ninja could swing across to the next pillar, sort of like how we live our lives today, just going forward onto the next pillar of our life. Swinging on the ropes of time, and doing so by a means of quick, acurate moves, just like a ninja. However, we are not ninja's and so we must move through life the best that we can, look ahead, and to stay ahead of the flow.

"Be able to recognize and understand symbolism and its meaning in art." Wow, it sure has been a while since I updated this page, but to my viewers, I have returned. But now, for the goals, and this particular goal truely deplicts the piece of art that is shown before you.
Since the beginning of the video game era, Mega Man has been a common household name. Is it that challenge of the game? The music of the game? As I see it, the bosses of the stages that you play through are what make the game so enchanting. This particular boss is called Air Man, and for obvious reason as the stage in the game took place in the air with various areas of wind.
Air Man is the very definition of air in this game and the fan on his chest symbolizes this perfectly. May Mega Man, and all of those fantastic bosses live long into the future!
