Do you see what I see? Using visualization to observe art

Sara Levine
Editor-in-Chief

As I mindlessly flipped through a men’s magazine, I came across a clay skeleton lounging on a white couch. The title read, “Urs Fischer Conquers the Art World.” Cool. Then I flipped the page and came across a picture that sparked my memory: a two story, yellow teddy bear in front of a New York City office building.

Though I don’t remember where I was going when I first experienced this sight, I definitely remember the bear. It was one of those experiences that is just ingrained in your memory without reason. It intrigued me in those few seconds, but then I kept walking without looking back.

Hannah Magnan may be a name you have never heard. She was born with the Amish in Lancaster, PA and has now been teaching English at NCHS for two years. She lives in Stamford and she is one of my favorite teachers.

Get ready, old sport, because the movie “The Great Gatsby” opens May 10 after almost a year of build-up. While the movie follows the story line from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, director Baz Luhrmann has made The Great Gatsby modern and unique. From changes in the music and fashion to more drama in the party scenes, modernizing the world of Gatsby could as easily be called a path to inaccuracy as a fresh outlook. So do these updates help Luhrmann’s vision or destroy Fitzgerald’s?
