Introduction: I’m a self taught artist and have been since I was 3 years old. I have a bi-polar dog named after a Pokémon. Ive recently been trying to learn the bass and drums. I love to make paintings, but it’s also the only medium I currently have to work with. Ive also tried experimenting with water colors. Im currently on a mission to making at least 100 phobias into paintings and making my own interpretation of some tarot cards into paintings as well. Here are some examples of some 24x36 paintings Ive done!

John Berger- Ways Of Seeing (ch. 2-3)
Quote 1- “If a woman throws a glass on the floor, this is an example of how she treats her own emotion of anger and so of how she would wish it to be treated by others. If a man does the same, his action is only read as an expression of his anger.”
Quote 2: “One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. “
I feel like this sentence spoke to me, because i believe this happens a lot. As women, we think with our hearts and emotions more rather than men who dont think using their hearts. If a lady feels upset, hurt, or angry at something, she will express more than what’s is upsetting her. She’ll feel more, and wish that others could feel and understand her pain. If this was a man, like the article stated, we would just see them as upset and if we asked him why, he would state his reason and just move on with life. Everyone views everyone else differently. Men look at women with the mindset that we are too emotional. Women on the other hand, and like what quote 2 says, women watch them selves being looked at. I think a good example of this is in the Victorian era. Women constantly watched and scolded each other for the way their dress looked or how high it was. Women lurked over others and corrected or judged others on how they acted. Every little thing wasnt overlooked by man or women themselves.
Understanding Patriarchy
Quote 1: “Patriarchy is a political- social system that insists that makes are inherently dominating, superior to everything and everyone deemed weak, especially females, and endowed with the right to dominate and rule over the weak and to maintain that dominance through various forms of psychological terrorism and violence.“
Quote 2: “He was taught that a boy should not express feelings. I was taught that girls could and should express feelings, or at least some of them.“
From the view of a woman, she expresses that from an early age, she was taught that although she could express her feelings, and that it was good, it was still viewed as wrong. Her brother on the other hand was taught to not show feelings, however certain emotions like rage were good. Children learn this concept at a young age, and people sometimes learn this from the Bible as its explains the story of Adam and Eve. Even when god introduces the angels to Adam, he is deemed as dominant and higher in status than the angels and his wife, because he is a man.
Making Trouble
Quote 1: “ It’s the idea that there is something natural about our particular system that always needs to be pushed and examined, and from every point of view, which is what I did in that article. “
Quote 2: “ The clip offers a wonderful insight into her mind—explaining how systems and disciplines always need to be pushed and examined from every point of view, that we need to “keep at it” in a dialectical way—like prize fighters taking on a subject from every angle.“
Unlike the last two articles, in his one, Maura Reilly talks about fighting back. She suggests that it should be crucial to fight from every angle and how there are things and thinking processes that need to be pushed and examined. Using “prize fighters” as a good example as they usually continue to fight for what they want.
