American Humanities at BYU

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I moved a lot of files over from the iBook I used when I was at BYU. I found a lot of art clips that I particularly liked from some of my art history / humanities courses and I thought I'd post some of them here.

These two are from my American Humanities class - I took it Fall of my freshman year - and it was the first time I studied art history (and LOVED it).

This was one of the early photography pieces that we studied in the last part of the class:

Title: Manger

Photographer: unfortunately, I can't remember and can't find it on google at the moment. I believe her name was Mary ---

The following was one of my favorite pieces that we studied.

Title: Annunciation

Artist: Henry Ossawa Tanner

Quote of the Day

There are flowers everywhere, for those who bother to look.

Anne Taintor

So, I have mixed feelings about Anne Taintor. She is pretty funny, and I like the way she brings some retro pop art back, but the cynical/bitter edge to her humor sometimes turns me off.

but then I think sometimes that she's just expressing what we are "too nice" to say :)
