The  video “ In the power to look “ showed three intellectual standards – clarity, breadth and depth.The video includes “American gothic” by grand wood ;Yoruba crown from Nigeria;” Paris street rainy day “ by gustave caillebotte and” untitled#92”by Cindy Sherman.
In “Yoruba crown” from Nigeria , we can see how author has describe crown as spiritual essence of a Yoruba ruler. The faces outlined in the crown with beads establish a link to past kings who serve as influential ancestors to the present one, beaded veil protects the king and the birds representing women. The detail in the video is clear making it simple and easy to understand. Likewise the “Paris street rainy day “represent different perspective. It  shows number of individual with different social status .The video reflect the artist’s great skillfulness and the conceptual innovation as well. The artist has use camera Lucida to create this best known painting in 1877.It allow us to see real time back then and connect us through an art.
As depth comes from how much meaning individual find in subject or character,
“the untitled film still#92 “by Cindy Sherman Successfully detailed the focus on female social role-playing and feminism.In the photograph Kneeling on the ground and fearfully looking away from the camera , Sherman has used the technique of cropping tight.Cropping tight the subject  eliminates the background noise ensuring the subject gets the viewer’s solid  attention. Hence the photograph looks like viewer is looking down of female subject from a position of power.
The standard of intellectual quality is significant in all aspect.As it focuses on deep understanding , skills and ideas , it changes the way we think and see differently.
