Please post in the comments section after reading the Joan Didion essay. Sttempt to incorporate the elements of good writing we discussed in class today.
After reading Georgia O'Keeffe I realized how strong she was. She was a determined woman. O'Keeffe did not let anyone get in her way. She wanted to become an artist and overcame obstacles to persuade her dream.
Georgia O'Keeffe was a woman with strong character. She did not let the opinions of people about her paintings move her from where she stood in the making of her paintings.
Georgia didn't care about pleasing her audience when it came to her paintings. She was an independent lady and she didn't take others opinions into consideration .She painted what SHE liked not what everybody else thought would be better. I think she wanted to set an example for anyone whose ever been afraid to be themselves. "The Men" that kept critiquing Georgia's work is a symbol for all people in general. When "the men" didn't approve of her bright colors she made them brighter. Georgia danced to the beat of her own drum and she did not care what other people thought of her art because SHE liked it. It doesn't matter how great you are there is always going to be someone who disapproves and she knew that, and I think that's what made her such a great artist.
"I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower you hung all your associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see-and I don't." This quote shows how strong Georgia O'Keeffe feels about her thoughts and paintings.She tells us that people assume to know what her ,as the painter, feels or is saying through her work, when usually people are wrong. She did not care how people saw her.I love this quote and how she says people think they might know when in reality they do not. I love her character as a person. She is very unique in her own way and she showed people this is me like it or not.
nicolette aldape Georgia cared about everyone's opinion when it came to her paintings. she tried to get attention and make them noticeable. she kept working hard on them to make them good enough, but at the end she went off and didn't care about any ones opinion any more. she decides to move and paint what she wants without being criticized.
Lorenzo Tafolla Georgia handout was interesting. She paints on how she feels.She has a lot of passion for seeing women as equal to men. Seemed like she painted aggressive so men could notice her paintings.
I like how Georgia states that people viewed her paintings in one way, and they had their own thoughts about that painting however the real meaning and what SHE saw in those same paintings were different. and it is true. It can relate to many of us, we may see an artist's painting and either think the obvious "oh what a nice tree" or not understand the painting at all. On the other hand, that "tree" can mean a WHOLE different meaning, or that "odd" painting can be the greatest painting ever. The fact that Georgia continued her way of painting in that manner is amazing. I liked the way the essay was written.
Georgia O'Keeffe is a role model because she never gave up-even when everybody doubted her artwork. In today's society a lot of people don't like to see others succeed and they doubt their possibilities of making it, however, this is something that can help them gain strength and courage to actually accomplish their goals just like O'Keeffe did because she proved all the "men" who doubted her wrong.
Georgia O'Keeffe was a strong woman and was not afraid to standout. What I found captivating is that she was open and spoke out on things that she disliked or was interested on even if it was against men(something that was very uncommon during her time).
I love the fact that Georgia O'Keeffe was such a strong and independent woman. Though her paintings showed that she appeared to be sensitive, O'Keeffe had her own interpretation of her work. I believe that the art wasn't in the painting itself, but in the inspiration and reasoning behind her work. The story and the journey of how that painting became; that is the art. For example, the dull painting of the shed and the tree shows that she was not discouraged by men, but inspired.
i was happy to know that Georgia O'Keeffe stood up for what she believed in. Even if no understood her paintings. everything out of her painting made her happy. I feel as though art shouldn't be assigned, but it should be what makes you happy and what you see art as. Everyone has a different opinion on what it defines. And Georgia O'Keeffe's art was inspirational.
Victoria Herrera The part that grabbed my attention is the way she believed and saw how one can reflect their character through their work. That a persons art and style is their character. Georgia O' Keefe is someone who expression her feelings through paintings, as she makes her art she does so with determination.
What really interested me about Joan Didion's essay was where it talks about men and Georgia. Since men did not see the importance of her paintings, Georgia found ways to make them stand out. If men thought she could not draw something, she did it anyways. I understand her aggressiveness towards men because they cannot see what women are capable of doing. I like how she is a fighter and fights for what she believes.
I think what really made it interesting was how many examples Joan Didon used in her essay about Georgia. Georgia O' Keefe was a brillant artist and stood up for what she believed in and fought back in such a nonviolent way. She fought back with "the men's" critiscim proving to them that she will prove those wrong who doubted her.
Georgia O'Keeffe was a "hard" and "straight shooter" type of women as Joan Didion explained in her essay by giving a definition about who Georgia O'Keeffe was. She didn't settle for what the world around her wanted her to be like,she found herself in her artwork. Her paintings changed the way people viewed and saw things at her times. Life to me was revealed in her artwork. She always stayed true to who she was and fought to open the eyes of those who doubted and judged what she was doing in her art.
""The men" believed it impossible to paint New York, so Georgia O'Keeffee painted New York." That line showed how strong her drive was to show that herself, and women, were just as equal to men. Georgia O’Keeffe did what she felt was right to do because she was passionate about what she wanted to do. No matter who judged or had something negative to say, she always stayed true to who she was.
Georgia was a fighter and didn't let anyone's opinions or remarks discourage the type of artist and woman she ought to be. She painted with passion and her art voiced who she was as a person.
Charlotte Pouncy It was nice how Georgia thought for herself, and didnt use her talent to please others. Personally, i felt as if she tried too hard. One or two paintings to make a statement is understandable. But it seems as if she spent too much time trying to show she wasnt going to conform, rather than just showcasing her talent. Is that all she felt? Is everything about "the men"?. Is all art about "making a statement"? What about "im good at this, and this is how i feel today."
I loved that Georgia stuck to what she loved and believed in regardless of what any one else thought of her art work.She did not let the men put a restraint on what she can and cannot paint. I believe that was an important thing she had done as to stand up for herself & her painting, because what would women artist be like today if Georgia O'Keeffe hadn't done what she was passionate for?
Briana Rivera I thought that it was interesting how Georgia wanted to show people(men) that she is more then a women that draws flowers, but someone who can also draw the impossible.
Victor Santiago Georgia seems like she was a different woman compare to women during that time. she stood out for herself.if some told her that something was impossible, she didn't stand there and accepted, she tried to make it possible, that was the kind of women she was. she didn't allowed some one to put her down, that was what made her different.
The fact that Georgia stood up for what she thought was right made her a very strong women.I like how she didn't let people,men in general tell her what she could or couldn't draw.
Farbod Babsahrif I think Georgia O'Keeffe was a strong woman and she had an incredible confidence in her work. She followed her own path and didn't care about the high amount critics that were pointed at her work. As an individual living in 21st century, when men and women are considered as equal in most modern societies, this article gave me an idea that the situation was not like this a few decades ago, and people like Georgia O'Keeffe had to fight for their voice.

I believe that Georgia O'Keeffe was a woman who could carless if she was misunderstood. She was strong and independent, if only one out of 1 thousand people understood what she painted, she would take that and rejoice.
Sadly I didn't find the reading quite interesting, but I do believe that what has happened in Joan Didion's "Georgia O'Keeffe" was quite surprising in a way. The only thing I have to say about the medical field though is that to make human advances, we have "de-humanize" the human body in ways that can and will be gruesome. I do not have much to say about this topic, but this was all that came to mind.
After reading Georgia O'Keeffe I realized how strong she was. She was a determined woman. O'Keeffe did not let anyone get in her way. She wanted to become an artist and overcame obstacles to persuade her dream.
