because I noticed quickly he was an artist of color. I knew that our project would include glitching and I\u2019ve always been very curious as to how artists of color have been systemically silenced. I was drawn to him also because the sculpture he\u2019s working on is called \u201cseated figure\u201d but looks feminine. I was drawn to his ability to work on sculptures of women in the time and be able to see them as art, and create them so realistically nonetheless. I think it reveals that despite the 1930s preaching to be so embedded in gender roles, there were people who were succeeding in more progressive ways. That there were people like Francisco P. Lord who wanted to create art for the sake of beauty and not for social gain. I also like that the photographer, though employed by the Federal Art Project, wasn\u2019t scorned by the racism taking place that he still took an equal amount of pictures of Lord <\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. The caption reveals that he was selected to be shown at the World\u2019s Fair. I felt like that was important to our earlier discussion on race. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\n\n\n\n

The historical question I am asking is: How did photographs of artists of color alter the racist narrative beginning to take foothold in the 1930s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These methods, like glitching and annotating images, help us to think more critically because they encourage us to understand them beyond just a photograph. They make us think why the photograph was taken, how the other person was affected, and what happens when we try to glitch it to expose the true sentiment behind it. I like glitching more than image annotation because I feel like glitching is a very active way to analyze the images. It allows us to really delve into their creation, and how the image changes meaning when it is altered. I especially feel that it reveals undertones that the original image cannot show that we can only interpret with previous historical insight.\u00a0 Glitching <\/p>\n\n\n<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\n\n\n\n

  made me draw conclusions about the image rather than see it for it\u2019s objective parts. But, I feel like the annotation had to be the first step before understanding the glitching because I couldn\u2019t have interpreted an image that I didn\u2019t know anything about. I needed to understand it\u2019s parts before I could draw assumptions about the whole. It helped me answer my historical question because I realized that photographers were open enough to take pictures of people of color and recognized their talent. So, as more photographs were taken of people of color, successful artists could be respected for what they were, successful artists. The question I still have going forward is how much those pictures were seen by everyone else? Because they can\u2019t alter their narrative unless white people see them. Once I uncover that, I can truly understand more about my historical question. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
