Introduction To Me


 Hi! My name is Yasmine and this is my baby Apollo! I'm on my second semester here at CSUP. I was born and raised here in Colorado, more specifically Denver and I moved to Pueblo the summer before my sophomore year of high school and I attended East High School and graduated this last year. I'm a business major and I plan on emphasizing in planning and organization, but I love history, mythology especially, so I'd like to minor in history.

    Hello Yasmine, Apollo is super cute. History and mythology were some of the most interesting classes I have taken thus far. Hope you and a wonderful semester.

    Hi Yasmine, I was also born and raised here in Colorado but more specifically Pueblo. I've lived here my entire life and I love being able to see the mountains nearly anywhere in the town. I feel that not many people like it in Pueblo, but I couldn't see myself living anywhere else.

The introduction of photography to the European and Euro American world allowed for a different and unique perception of art and artists. Later on when cameras became more accessible people of the middle class were also able to partake in photography as an art medium. The introduction of photography as an art medium changed the way that people viewed art as it was always involved in naturalism and there was a lot of the man verses nature aspect that came with art, which could be seen in many artworks like with the statue of David by Bernini where you can see that split second where the muscles tense and the concentration this person has as they are up against something great and mighty.

Benin Ivory Mask

  HENI Talks, "Benin ivory mask (Edo peoples)," in Smarthistory, June 17, 2018, accessed February 26, 2021, https://smarthistory.org/ivory-mask-benin/.  This mask was made in honor of the Mother Queen of Benin, Idia. She worked extremely hard to ensure that her son would be the heir to the Benin throne instead of his half brother. The mask itself also wasn't meant to be worn on the face but rather as an adornment on someone's hip. On the mask you can see figures shown as the knots on the crown, which are meant to be Portuguese merchants and was meant to represent the alliance between the Edu state and the Portuguese. This was a very strategic maneuver on behalf of the Benin people to create an alliance with a European nation. The trade of cloth for brass between the Edu and the Portuguese created a new tradition of Brass work for the Edu people. They created Brass plaques showing their battles with enemies and they became very important pieces for the people of Benin.

Michelangelo exemplifies David as nearly god like with very strong features and strong flexed muscles and you can even see the concentration in his face with his furrowed brows as he is preparing for his fight with Goliath which is what makes it very much in the High Renaissance style as artists of this time were known for their shadows and highligh
