Celebrity culture

-


A Celebrity is a person who is widely recognised by strangers and works within the entertainment industries. Celebrities portray a wealthy lifestyle style of wearing designers, having mansions and luxury cars, that may not belong to them. There are many reasons to not believe anything put on social media, as the mansions might belong to friends or family members. The cars used for the poses might be hired from a car dealership, and their designer outfits would be on loan. Due to the mass media attention celebrities have, they venture into business deals with brands to promote their products on their social media, as they have thousands of followers. This means they get high end materials for free and will be posing in a way that they purchased them.


This is a photograph of Charlotte Crosby, who was involved in a reality tv shows called Geordie shore. This makes are a celebrity and she is posing in a car, that might not be purchased by her.

Being a celebrity comes with hours of coaching of how be perceived as a person in public. This could be having good morals, and being sweet person, which will give you the title of “sweet heart” by people. As a result, people don’t know the kind of person they are unless you’re a staff member or a family member. Some people believe that celebrities do not have problems as they have a perfect life, which sometime can be untrue as they may to facing personal problems that is unbearable but put on a brave face for the media.

There is a difference between celebrities and stars, celebrities do not have talents and their fame is based on their looks. A star is famous for their talents and can be a positive advocate for a change in the world. Celebrities are associated with party scenes of enjoying a night out with friends in popular destinations like Prague and Ibiza, with indecency of wearing skimpy outfit to reveal their “sexy” bodies. Stars come across more serious and elegant and will not be seen acting indecent as they are role models to people.

 

  

In this age digital age, anyone can become a celebrity by posting hilarious videos of themselves or sharing their hobbies and talents. This could be in a form of makeup, designing and singing. I believe social media gives anyone an equal opportunity to be famous, in the comfort of their home. However, social media can be used negatively to criticise people of their bodies and celebrities are under constant pressure of make their body perfect, as they face scrutiny by strangers of media.

The Wall Project

Image
 For the wall project, I was put in a group of four organised by choosing numbers from a bowl of number 20. My group mates were Rica, David and Oana. A lecture was given of the different themes to choose from, as the subject matter of the wall. The common interest was on Donald Trump, and  decided to create sketches communicating the political issues surrounding him. Rica chose to do a sketch of  King Jong Un with his middle finger up to Trump, as a mockery of their unbalanced relationship. David made a sketch of the Mexican president destroying the American flag, as  way of objecting the plans to build wall around Mexico. Oana did sketches of Donald Trumps being a joker, of his extreme political ideas. My idea was the manipulation of the good relationship between Russia and America, of secretly planning wars against each other with missiles. All of these aspects were considered, and each of us drew our section on the wall. The ideas were drawn on a large scale with pencil, and black c

Pablo Picasso is a Spanish painter, sculptor and printmaker, who was born in Malaga, Spain on the 25 th  of October 1881, and unfortunately died in April 8th 1973. He collaborated with Georges Braque, to establish the art movement of cubism, which began in 1907, after the construction of the following artwork of, “Les Demoiselles d ’Avignon” which was initially produced to promote the cubist movement. This image is a demonstration of the artwork of, “Les Demoiselles d’ Avignon” which is translated as “The Young Ladies of Avignon”. This particular oil canvas painting consists of five naked women, posing provocatively in a glass front shop displace, advertising their bodies to the general public, in the streets of Barcelona. The way in which I was able to identify, that the women were posing in front of a glass panel was that, in Amsterdam there’s a place called a red light district, were you would discover a huge prostitutes posing in front of a glass panel, attracting visitors, as well

The symbolism of traditions in Ghana

Image
Traditional cultures are a combination of past and present practices of a certain group of people, who adopts beliefs into everyday life. This has connection with our ancestors and is associated with tribes in African countries, to maintain the same values of religious practices and ritual for thousands of years. Traditional practices have conflicts with modern practices, as something deemed acceptable to traditionalist are frown upon by modern people. As a result, there are constant battles between the older and younger generation. Traditional people are thought to have narrow mind set to modern people and find it difficult to adjust to the modern world and are often challenged to think otherwise. Traditional practices are similar to traditional dresses that varies from countries to tribes. In this case the traditional dress of Ghana is Kente cloth, which some are handwoven or printed. The design of the cloth is a repeated geometric pattern in vibrant colours that is used for special
