This Music Video is a True Work of Art

"Man in the Mirror"
By: Michael Jackson

I chose Michael Jackson's music video for "Man in the Mirror" because it is a work of art in so many aspects. This video nearly brought tears to my eyes when I first watched it.

Throughout the video, photographs, taken by artists, are shown. These pictures do exactly what any art should, they bring out emotion and make the viewer really think about what is going on in the world.

The song itself is art because it does the same thing. Every time I hear this song I always question the person I am and the things I do. I think about what I am doing wrong that I can change to better my life and my world.

Michael Jackson was a wonderful artist. He knew exactly how to make his art bring out the emotions, thoughts, and feelings in people.

He directed the video, wrote the music and wrote the lyrics, all while putting his own feeling into it. This is art to me.
