Blog Assignment #4

 Blanche is an Alcoholic.

In the play a StreetCar Named Desire, the author Tennesse Williams characterizes Blanche as being an alcoholic.  However, she doesn't want anyone to notice.  In act 1 scene 1, Blanche drinks about three times.  Williams indicated in stage direction Blanche "looks about her.  Takes a few uncertain steps towards bedroom, looks in.  Turns back, spies open door of kitchen cabinet,  crosses to it, removes a whiskey bottle and glass.  Comes to above table, pours herself stiff drink.  Puts down glass.  Then picks it up again, shakes out last drops of liquor into carpet, and takes glass and bottle back to cabinet.  Moves uncertainly to the L-shaped seat, sits down".(Williams pg.9)  This passage basically describes Blanche looking around to make sure no one is looking as she grabs liquor bottle.  When she is done, she tries to cover the evidence so no one knew she had actually drank.  After waiting for while, Stella comes happily to welcome her sister and talk.  Blanche quickly asks for liquor as if she didn't see or drank already.  Blanche, "Well, now, you talk.  Open your pretty mouth and talk while I look around for some liquor".(Williams pg.10) 





 



   

Art is a master piece of creativity or someone's thoughts. Art is also a language. It's a way of interpreting an image, painting, film, sculpture, or photography. One can perceive it as an outlet from our everyday lives to just a form of expression. A diverse range of ideas. The story behind the painting makes a piece of art.

It was pretty fun how my group an I chose this picture. We stood In front of the computer screen and when we seen the painting we all had something different to say about it. So we just stuck to that one. When I started reading about him I was very interested because I felt that I can relate to him. My mom always gave us food but we've been homeless before and low on money I consider that growing up around poverty. When I look at his painting I see a lot of emotion. I believe he expressed his feeling best though art. That's probably the only way he knew how to. In class, though out the presentation, I learned a lot about art and what it can mean. I love the fact that art can be garbage. I was really amazed by that. Art is just a method of perception, language , and expression.

     Jane Addams High School is located in the Bronx.  It's a vocational school in which my major was cosmetology.  In about 10Th grade I realized a great interest in hair and makeup.  I love making people feel beautiful and enhancing their beauty as well. I also learn in high school, how to set reasonable goals to achieve.  I am satisfied to say in 2 years I would like to have built more skills in makeup and obtain a cosmetology license in makeup and hair styling.  Makeup and hair are used for many things. Being a beautician is a job that won’t ever be irrelevant.   I believe through makeup and hair, is the best way of showing your personality.

             When I was growing up I never pictured myself actually doing hair having an interest in doing hair.  I would always see my sister wear a really dark lipstick.  In that time it was an enormous trend.  I remember looking at her and saying “it looks like she has poop on her mouth”.  When I began to hit my teen years I started to do my own hair and wanted to look pretty. I would also do my best friend’s hair at that time too.  She had more of course hair making it a bit of a challenging but I still pulled through like it’s been something I’ve done all my life. However, I still didn’t like makeup or hair.  I would look at others and say, “That’s just too much”.  When I enter high school I decided to pick cosmetology because I felt that it would be the easiest thing to do.  In fact I imagined it to be pretty funny to play around with the manikins.  After a while, the interested grew so much pushing me to set my goal of withholding a license.  I have a great range of patience.  I’ve been told that when I do hair and makeup I really get into it blocking out any other distraction. I’m a person that likes to please others to the end.

Jane Addams tough me many things in which I have many people that come to me for beauty related reasons.  They trained me in getting a pre license that works for about 6 months.  The license that I want is the permanent one in which I just renew every year.   When getting into the cosmetology field, I must be aware of any programs I get into.  Everyone believes they can do makeup and hair.  People categorize it as an everyday thing.  It’s a fact that not everyone knows how to do hair or makeup.   I have to make sure I know the schools or teachings I'm getting are good enough and are not wasting my time.  Other can build a program telling me they can get me a certified job in that field and really just be taking my money.

      Cosmetology schools provide many new learning skills to better my goal in becoming a hair and makeup artist.  For example, Empire Beauty School (only for makeup) located in Manhattan is a 3-week program that cost $3,066.  After passing an exam I am able to get my certificate.  This school can help me learn new techniques and styles to use on people.  However, the cost of the school can be a challenge.  I must get a job that can work with the schedule the school gives me.  Perhaps I can save money and give little payments to pay off the tuition

          Enhancing others beauty is a great form of creativity.  I enjoy using soft colors as well as bright colors like greens and pinks.  I must get in tune with my experience I had in Jane Addams. I would need to build a connection with the client to understand exactly what they want and vision.   Using colors that describes the client’s personality is a way of building clients as well.  Keeping them can be a dilemma.  I must create new blending and ideas to enrich people's eye color and minds.  What I meaning by blending is matching colors that create beautiful looks and making the clients eye color pop.  I would incorporate my own twist and personal style to also create my own trend.

          Family can be a challenge for me.  I'm currently going thru financial issues as well as housing issues.  That being said it can cause stress and distractions for me to focus.  I need to have a close friend I can talk to when I'm getting overwhelm. As well as a notebook for me to express my feelings and thoughts about any situation I'm going through.  Another issue I can experience with family is them taking advantage of my talent.  For instance, members of my family constantly are asking me to do their hair or makeup for free.  I must set boundaries that they understand I have needs too. 

         Makeup is a great way of expressing myself.  Cosmetics consist of many different colors, images, styles, and personality.  Therefore making it a way of personalizing your own creativity.  Whenever you're feeling a certain way you can show it with makeup.  I believe that with motivation and determination I am about to fulfill my goal.

Goal Paper

    A Bachelors degree requires 4 years. My goal is to complete my bachelors in 4 or less years. I believe everything has its ups and downs. You must face many obstacles to actually succeed. It's like a test you must go through to see weather your capable of sustaining your goal. In the end you will have a feeling of satisfaction knowing you accomplished your set goals. However, there are many things you must complete to be able to reach your goal. Being a student can sometimes be easy as well as extremely hard.

    It all starts with you believing In yourself. Being a straight A student consist of persistence in class. Participation also plays a major part in your grade. Myself as a student am expected to meet a standard of passing but also reaching the highest. Many colleges have different rules and regulations.  I've notices my 3 teachers at LAGCC are more about creativity and the art of the mind. Therefore, a student is expected to stand out in there own unique ways. A teacher must see you fighting for that higher grade.  You need motivation and determination.  However, all these responsibilities can cause a down side.

     A lot of people suffer of depression and panic attacks due to stressful situations.  Such as completing goals.  Work, school and family are three categories that effect your pursuit towards a better future In an unintentional way.  There just daily stress we don't ever learn to deal with. If you have a job and is having financial issues, a job can be really not worth loosing. You may perform poorly in school due to your job. The help you need in paying school may pressure you into having a certain standard.  You then become stress because you are afraid of failing.  Your family can push you so hard into doing good they push you off the road to success. Frustration can get into action, causing you to loose interest. These are test testing you into being a strong achiever.

     In the end, setting goals Is a very challenging process.  However, after succeeding you feel a great amount of excitement.  Students must think of different creative ways of accomplishing your goals.  As Ken Robinson mentioned “schools train our brains into the basic material but not into what you really want to do.”
