American Icons

My Family
1.) What my family represents to me is really special and the type of relationship that we all have amongst each other always keeps us united to help whoever is having a hard time.

4.) My family became an icon ever since I can remember, starting with my aunts who are always loud and funny at the same time even though they try to understand us we have a fun time understanding them as well. Secondly would be my girl cousins who are always with me where ever I go, since I don't have any sisters I believe that my cousins have replaced those big sisters that I never had since they are also older then me and I look up to them as being my role models. And lastly are my guy cousins who are very funny and always make me laugh when ever I'm in a bad mood. And that's my family.

5.) My family inspired me to be myself where ever I go and to not let people put me down, since they have always been involved in my life success and are I'm always there to support them as well. They have also taught me how to be more open minded and speak my mind in most occasions, for example they have always confronted me and asked me what was wrong with me, and even though they sometimes butt in my life they can also help me by giving me advice and seeing whats going on in their perspective.

Brother

1.) What my brother represents to me is a role model that makes me accomplish the same things that he has succeeded in and expand that more so that he could be proud of me. He is someone I look up to when I need some type of advice or help in anything, weather it's either for school, jobs, or life in general.

4.) My brother has been my icon ever since I was little and played with him, he has always taken good care of me and always held me up when I would fall, and now even though he doesn't notice it he has been doing that as I'm growing through out the years.

5.) My brother has inspired many things that I use often, such as sticking with my gut and never second guessing myself it has taught me to become a better up front person and deal with my own problems as I correctly as I can.

Photographs
1.) What this icon represents to me is very unique and very fun to play with. It has many sides and faces to it depending on how you view it from a distance and things as simple as just staring at a black and white painting with just one color sticking in the background. Sometimes I like playing with the various dimensions that you could look at a picture because they can fool you and not realize that what you see isn't sometimes real enough to be true. This is what I admire the most, when I combine the many colors and textures to portray just one setting, that makes people have different reactions towards the same thing and see things in a different perspective.

2.) This icon became important in the American culture when it first developed it's colors in black and white. This demonstrated that there were other many colors that had to be shown in order to make the frame that you were seeing even the more real it's most.

3.) This icon became important to me ever since I could remember seeing colors and pictures with different contrasts and images that sent a message to the one who was looking at it. To me it is very interesting seeing the many sides and perspectives that people see in a single frame, and I like listening to the stories that are behind the camera.

4.) To me this icon inspired many creative ideas that I had fresh out of my mind. I admire the great creativeness that pictures show me through the lenses and can become different images in just one single move. This is very interesting since I really like viewing things in different peoples perspectives.
