This is a medium for my case studies of visual culture. Each case study is analyzed on a scale of ten points:Raw/Clean spectrum, 2. Like or dislike, 3. Immediately aesthetically pleasing, 4. Pop or counterculture, 5. Elaboration, 6. Personal perspective, 7. Category of Art, 8. Assumed authorial intent, 9. Name of artist, 10. Context. Here I apply my knowledge of visual culture to forms of art. Covc is mostly subjective. Through analysis I express my opinions on art. Some parts are objective. For example, some artists are pop culture artists and therefore I would classify their art as pop culture. When reading these case studies it is important to understand my perspective. I am mostly interested in and stimulated by contemporary and post modern art. Photography is my favorite form of art and sculpture is my least favorite. I prefer art that is more raw than clean and am mainly interested in fashion photography and amateur works that capture everyday life without being too sloppy. I mainly draw inspiration from "I Love Fake" Magazine (http://www.ilovefakemagazine.com/), kanYe West: blog (http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/), and Sabino (http://sabino.tumblr.com/).

We negotiate the world through visual culture, whether we are sighted or have low vision that requires adaptive or assistive technologies, and whether we live in urban spaces saturated with surfaces covered in advertisements and signs or remote places in which we depend on our screens to connect with “the world.” Our lives are increasingly dominated by the visual and by communication technologies (both wired and wireless) that allow for the global circulation of ideas, information, and politics. Ideas and information circulate globally in visual forms, and images play a central role in political and conflict meaning. We are thus at a moment in history in which the visual matters more than ever, as representation, as information, as politics, as provocation, as forms of play and entertainment, and as both a connecting force and a source of conflict around the world.
