This is a portrait artwork done by Melvin N. Hall.  In this portrait is our 44th president Barack Obama.  Melvin put a lot of details into this artwork as you can see in the face.  I think this portrait expresses the emotions that Obama shows on his face during interviews.  He is a on going and successful man, and needs all of the regonition he can get.  Melvin is a successful artist and tends to focus on a variety of things to draw.  This is one of his most successful pieces of art and it is starting to get a lot of attention.

This is a photo that Carrie Mae Weems likes to ad knowledge a lot.  This photo is of a person that was a slave and he got whipped.  He probably didn't do anything to deserve this outrageous beating.  Telling by the scares on this man's back, who ever whopped him really wanted him to feel pain.
