Sally Mann

I think Mann has her own style. She really enjoys taking photos to everything she find. Moreover, I like her children’s pictures. I think they are artistic. I really like the landscape in which these pictures had been taken, and the special effects that some of them have. Besides, I think that that photos express nature, childhood, life, innocence and humanity.

I think that Mann has her style as I already said. She loves taking pictures with different things although I think she does it also because she wants to have a controversy around her. She knows that that kind of things sell!

I don´t think Mann should be censored with the pictures that she has taken. There are not arguments for it. Meanwhile, I think that some kind of photos can affect different groups of people. Maybe because of religion, thoughts, a special sensibilities, etc. a group of people can feel that some pictures are undesirables. I consider that the bounders that artists have depend on the idiosyncratic of the specific public.

Presentations

The presentations were very good and with a lot of work in them. The slides were great in all the groups, and the songs were pretty interesting. I think the most difficult part for my group was the beginning; we didn´t know how to do our imitation, but then we agreed our three topics (prayer, freedom and dreams) and the work turned easiest.

The easiest part for us was the choice of the song, we listened some Madonna’s songs and we chose Like a Prayer because we liked the song, the lyrics and the rhythm.

What I like the most of the presentations were all the historical events and these two members who sang their imitation, I think that was great and funny! Congratulations for them.
Music is indispensable in our lives. Singers transmit in it a lot of feelings that perhaps all of us have felt in a specific moment, that´s why I agree with the sentence “music is a universal language”. In addition, music is part of people’s diversion; with music you can have a good moment dancing, listening to good songs, take relax with soft music… Music is appropriate for each situation… music transmits love, sadness, good feelings…

Finally, I’ll ask Madonna if she thinks is necessary for our society to have artists like her giving happiness to the people that enjoy the music!
