Artist: Domee Shi In Bao by Domee Shi the hook is at 0:26 this moment where the dumpling becomes sentient entices the viewer to watch the rest of the film because this moment is something that in real life that would be stunning and something you would follow. From this moment on the video becomes very surreal and is a very good message on love and motherhood. This video is very aesthetically pleasing due to the detailed background as well as the detailed character design. Overall, this video is a wonderful work of art and commentary.

Photographer: Vivian Maier Vivian Maier in her work NYC 1950's makes a observation on big city life in the post-World War II boom. This is done through the expressions of the people in the foreground with the emphasis of the young man having a good time feeding the birds as well as the young women being joyful. Furthermore, in the background Vivian Maier emphasizes the post-World War II boom with the large signs with advertisements which shows the rise of consumerism in America post World-War II. Overall, this street life photo of Vivian Maier is a time capsule in one of the greatest turning point in American history.

The First Murder (1941) "A woman relative cried...but neighborhood dead-end kids enjoyed the show when a small-time racketeer was shot and killed," wrote Weegee in the caption accompanying this startling photograph in his 1945 publication Naked City. On the facing page Weegee showed the bloody body lying in the street. Alternately laughing, staring in disbelief, or looking into the camera to grasp their own momentary chance to be recorded, the children who had witnessed this grisly scene form an unsettling amalgam of human emotion and self-absorption. Two women are among the group: one, whom Weegee mentioned above, stands at the center, her face contorted with anguished tears, her personal loss turned into public spectacle. Photo: Weegee Photographer: Weegee Weegee emphasizes the untold reality or murder and crime in New York through his photography. In his work "The First Murder" (1941) he uses a foreground full of people is what appears as chaos to contrast the desolate background. This is done to the effect of showing the hysteria surrounding events like murder and their societal implications in New York. Furthermore, this contrasting background and foreground could be viewed as a juxtaposition between societal reaction and physical reaction to events.
Photographer: Xavier Millan Xavier Millan's photo of the Golden Gate Bridge edited slightly to bring the orange and red colors into prominence emphasizes the signature color of the Golden Gate Bridge. This emphasized foreground juxtaposes less prominent background, this creates the effect of appreciation for one prominent element of San Francisco. Furthermore, this juxtaposition symbolizes the beauty in man made object and not just nature which is more commonly expressed in art.
Photographer: Jordi Koalitic Jordi Koalitic uses multiple elements to make this photo more surreal and dramatic. Jordi Koalitic uses a contrasting foreground of the book with letter "flying off the page" an a bright sky to draw focus to the letter that all over the image. Furthermore, Jordi Koalitic uses the focus of the lens to draw attention to the letters "flying off the page". Jordi Koalitic uses these two elements to make a commentary that words fly off a page with true literature and that true art has true messages.
Photographer: Gordon Parks Gordon Parks provides an artistic commentary on the plight of Africans Americans have faced due to systemic racism in the United States of America through the positioning of the children behind the fence peering onto the playground that they are not allowed to play on. He did this to emphasize the injustice segregation caused for African Americans. Gordon Parks did this with the composition of the photo with the children in the foreground and the playground in the back to highlight the unnecessary man made separation.
