Performance Art is something I define as acting in front of a live audience by showcasing unique skills expressing forms of body language, dancing, instruments and singing in a more non-traditional way. For example, in my own experience I had to write down a short and specific piece of performance on a piece of paper. I give to the person who I was assigned with in class and gave them my notes so can perform it in front of the class. All they had to do was to jump back and forth while straight forward at the audience for about 30 seconds. The message in this performance was to demonstrate focus and determination of doing two things at the same time. Performance Art mostly involves creativity and originality of your own while also giving the audience the idea of what your theme of your performance art is.

1. "With each successive generation, her blend of artwork and activism found a new audience, breaking her infamous status, one piece at a time."
Ono has proven time and time how groundbreaking her role as an activist artist means to her. She would go out of her way to perform her most iconic Cut Piece where members had to cut out parts of her clothes in front of a live audience until she was naked. It was a demonstration of flux and would eventually impact the world of art activism and performances.
2. "the piece was lauded as an enactment of the physical vulnerability of women in a world where they are reduced to mere objects for looking at."
What Ono was trying to prove in her Cut Piece performance was to show society that woman more to them than just looks. Ono strives in her goal on how women deserve more respect for their skills and talents. Ono did just that by proving her commitment of getting her clothes cut off while still keeping a calm and collected composure.

1. "I do equate that stubbornness and conviction with the same work ethic that my parents filled me with, but to this day, I don't understand how I never felt that the historical art canon could not be achieved simply because of my ethnicity and color."
This quote shows how Leonardo felt in a way threatened by this knowledge. The ethnicity and color of a person doesn't make them less creative as an artist. Leonardo would the prove himself and others just how unqiue his art is by making "You Walk" as well as the Roosevelt Island Project.
2. "Artists need to take in, to process, to decipher, to separate from the noise and create things that are beautiful and impactful to the spirit"
What Leonardo is trying to explain here is that artists need to slow down and process everything one by one. Putting frustrations aside and letting out your passion in making something that is truly beautiful. Especially if that art came from the soul and impacting audiences of all the sweat and tears you put into creating your own masterpiece.
