Cherish
This is a relief sculpture created by Bill Mack.
"Calling my artwork bas-relief," Mack says, "is incorrect since bas-relief technically refers to low relief sculpture.  My art, in fact, has more physical depth than high relief; it incorporates various elements in full-round rising toward the viewer as in my "Illusion" image where her leg leaves the background extending into space.  Technically, sculptures combining various levels of relief and full-round parts are called 'Alto Relief' sculptures.  A similar technique has been used on classic Roman and Greek buildings.  However, until I offered my current collection of sculptures, this art form had not appeared to any extent in galleries." 
Combining low and high relief, incised lines, and elements in the full-round in sculpture works that are light enough to be hung on a wall, Mack directly involves the viewer in a 3-dimensional experience, both textural and tactile, that is often startlingly real.

"Mack's art elicits an immediate emotional response," notes one critic.  "A moment in time is stopped, a familiar face revealed, the grace of a body in motion captured.  The viewer becomes more than an observer; he becomes a participant in the drama unfolding before his eyes." 

I love this piece because I can feel the artwork. I feel the emotion and bond that is shared between this mother and child. It is beautiful.

Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet (Globe)



This is one of my all time favorites- Romeo and Juliet. I first seen this when I was in 9th grade. Before we watched this on the tv we had to learn to spell Shakespeare. It was taught to us in a song which had a beat to it SHA--KES--PEARE. I do not remember the song, but I do remember how to spell his name.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love romance that was played out on stage for all to see. It was beautiful sad and tragic at the same time.

Slow Fade Christian Movie Trailer #1



I chose this movie clip because I find it so interesting that whom ever is the constant in the film is always in focus, even when they shift from character to character or to an object. Everyone and everything else in the clip is faded softly in the back ground.

Amazing Tron Dance performed by Wrecking Orchestra [Better Quality]



I found this while I was looking for a dance. I thought it was very cool and different. It puts a whole new light on dancing and what you can do with it or add to it. It is amazing what ideas people come up with and incorporate into their choreography.
