...After reading both “Fall” and “Canvas of Encouragement” I found many differences in their tone. They also are different in many other ways but, the tone is the most important aspect of their differences. The poem “Fall” centers around a child playing in the fall, which leaves the reader with feelings of youthfulness and warmth. It goes to great lengths to give the reader an image of that time of year. “Canvas of Encouragement” centers around an artist without inspiration and out of time. The author of “Canvas of Encouragement” tries to give the reader a sense of helplessness. While different in tone, both of the poems are excellent in their execution of different techniques. The poem “Fall” by Ivy Tech Student Cynthia Long painted a very familiar picture of the fall. She makes the poem have a very warm feeling about it early on, mentioning the colors of the leaves golden-yellow, brown, and orange. Cynthia continues her playful imagery by telling us she jumped in the leaves and tells about her father raking them on top of their, suggesting a child-like innocence. Her explanation of stomping on leaves just to hear them crunch only strengthens her playful nature of the poem because almost every person has done this as a child.Also, the usage of the word “crunch” and describing the pile of leaves as “crisp” makes us almost hear the leaves crumbling. Another poem “Canvas of Encouragement” by Rebecca Hancock paints a much different picture, or doesn't. This poem is much...

...entire field of vision and necessitate close viewing. Toba Khedoori's Untitled (doors), is a large piece of 335.3 x 594.4 in dimensions. It consists of five rows of doors that span across the length of the canvas. On each row of doors there is an unadorned railing that spreads across the canvas.There is a rhythmic regularity from the repetition of doors, however each door and each row are subtly different due to the creative process itself. Each door has a different shade of blue and are painted differently, with some of the door frames being different shades of blue as well. The majority of the doors have windows that are coloured white, but a small number of them are blacked out, as if to suggest that the rooms behind them are empty. There is no context to the work, and the doors and apartment rows do not attach to anything but blank, white space above and below. The piece is extremely large, being 3.3 metres by 6 metres, necessitating close-viewing as to see the intricacies of each door. Seen from far away, every aspect of the piece seems to be based on repetition, with each door and railing being the same, but close up everything has different, detailed aspects. No walls or building that these doors could have sprung from are evident, and they seem to emerge out of the blank space behind the picture plane. The obvious order but underlying chaos go together hand in hand. As the Dutch architect Rem Koolhas says about Toba Khedoori's artwork: "In such a model of urban solid and...

...In this essay I will attempt to analyze the artwork named “Beguiling Lure “ by Isaac Talley made in 2009. The medium of this artwork is acrylic and oil on canvas. The composition is simple with the main focus being a dangling object and a portrait of a single bird. The multi coloring of the background is bright and soft with dark and light hues. The artist was able to deliver the paint onto the canvas in different directions and angles which gives the appearance of overlapping colors,roughness and a uneven texture. There is a small horizontal space that has been left blank and untouched in the middle of the canvas that provides a dividing line separating the upper portion of the painting from the lower portion. Even though there is no similarities in the main two subjects in the painting the artist brings balance, proportion and unity to his work by using the same background colors and patterns from top to bottom. The eye is automatically drawn towards two specific areas on the canvas and directly to the middle upper portion of the painting where a circular white object is attached to a dark blue string of yarn that hangs from a peg at the top of the canvas. In the bottom right corner a is a painting of a black bird standing with its back to the viewer as it looks towards the hanging object. I think the painting is a form of expression in which the intention is to give the viewer an increased awareness of how we have become a materialistic society. Because of our increased...

Ray Bradbury also uses allusion, but very little, while describing the Hadleys’ “happy life” home and when the nursery has not been turned on yet and is a blank canvas of white. Imagery is used quite often. One part in particular is when Mr. and Mrs. Hadley walk into the nursery and it appears as the African veldt. It is described in a way that kicks all your senses on when imagining it. Ray Bradbury uses the crafts of Imagery and Symbolism quite often and makes the story...

Founded in 1879, Absolut Vodka could be depicted as classic vodka; but Absolut markets their company to the unique individual pursuing an alternative lifestyle (Bhasin). They provide a diverse range of products that can provide a new twist to a classic experience. Absolut is one of the world’s top five spirit brands—sold in 126 markets (Absolut: Brand Profile). It is one of the few brands that have been able to continuously increase sales even though the market is shrinking (Bhasin). In an industry that is prohibited to advertise on the television, creativity and innovative campaigns are crucial for success. Absolut became one of the...

...On one hand miller is a graphic artists as for Rockwell he is a painter and in their art works when they are both compared next to each other, for a comparison Rosie is used as their main point of focus for the image. They are both similar in many ways when it comes to the image of Rosie. But when it comes to Millers Image he has a more graphic style to his image and by this I mean that his image use more vibrant colors as well bold text to make his image stand out more. When this is compared to Rockwell’s painting of Rosie it has more the feel and look of an image that was done on canvas and not on a lithograph stone. As for the line quality for both of these images Miller’s image has more of a standout graphic line work. When compared to Rockwell’s image which doesn’t have the same line quality as Millers. Which is because Rockwell’s image is a painting which wouldn’t give him the line work as millers image has unless the painter outlined his painting with dark line. The other difference is that miller used a drawing tool to render his image and Rockwell used a paint brush. They are both beautiful images done by two different artists, with two different set of art skills and techniques but it’s the artists who made these propaganda posters...

Most people, if not all think that only humans have tattoos, but, that’s where they are wrong. Animals have tattoos for marking or utilized for recognizable proof motivations to find a lost pet. The body is a blank canvas and the ink of a tattoo is the paint; tattoos express the body, so the threat must be society’s opinions. So from what I've grasped from that is that tattoos...

In this essay I will be comparing two paintings; one in the style of Rococo, the other Neoclassical. The first, Resting Girl by François Boucher (1751-1752) is a Rococo-era work of oil on canvas, 59cm x73cm in size. The second, Grande Odalisque, also oil on canvas, 91cm x 162cm, is considered to be a Neoclassical work, though created during the overlapping period during the culmination of Neoclassicism and the beginning of Romanticism. This period of overlap allowed Ingres to employ Romantic themes while staying true to the form of Neoclassicism. The agenda of...

...Computer Literacy and Numeracy Module Photoshop Exercise Image 1: [pic] This graphic (Image 1) displays how the citizens of Urbania are attempting to pass their garbage problems onto other smaller municipalities. Specifically, this image shows a citizen of Urbania sweeping his garbage “under the rug” of the rural towns in a very care free manner. The citizen himself is extremely large compared to the rural areas; this symbolizes the helplessness of the smaller rural towns to stop the big city. This graphic was created using a combination of several borrowed images and free-hand computer drawn pictures. I borrowed the image of the man from a website on the internet. He was originally black and white, using both arms to sweep and facing the opposite direction (See Image 2). Image 2: [pic] Using Paint Shop Pro I erased the litter and one of his arms. I then selected and copied his remaining arm, pasted it and rotated it into the upward position. I then coloured the image and horizontally mirrored it. Next I hand drew the hills of Ruralia, the trees and the houses. I further created the cities sign and rotated the text “RURALIA” to match the angle of the sign. I then found a picture of the Dallas, Texas skyline (Image 3), which was chosen for its lack of defining features, and opened it in Photoshop. Image 3: [pic] I used the crop tool to select the portion of the image I wanted to use and then used the artistic filter “Cutout” on the image...

...Staring at all those blank canvases in Mr. Robert Johnson’s art class, she awed over the beauty of what could she draw on it. She is not like any other kid for she does not settle in crayons and paper like any other kid—she likes to make art. There are a lot of things going on through her mind, from landscapes to portraits although she was only five. She cannot decide what to draw thinking whether or not she could give justice to the thing she would draw. One thing she knows though, the ability to make art is in everyone’s hand. As the years went by, her life which she considers a blank canvas turns into a picture of an art enthusiast longing for more knowledge of art. From the arts class room and outside, art has always been in her mind and she lives art. She joined the AAA Middle School arts club and became the president of the club in seventh grade. In high school, she also joined many art contents and was a participant in a community mural painting. She does not consider herself good though, for she believes that there are a thousand ways to make art and she only knows a few. She considers entering an arts program in a university as a great opportunity for her to learn more about art and to share what she knows to other people as well. For Amy Keller, college is a thing worth waiting for, not just because she’ll be free from her parents but because she will be able to manage and learn to live an independent life. As one of the things she was waiting for, securing a slot...

...minds, interpret of human ideas and Creations that display emotion. Art is not merely what the artist conveys it is what the viewer interprets the artwork to be. What you see is what you get is not the case with all art. Art is not a mere image; art is a thought and a feeling. While the Creator does have intentions and an idea on what his work should display, the way the viewer interprets the art using their current feelings and thoughts can completely redefine the artwork itself and this process in itself is an art. For example a creator may make a painting that is merely a blank canvas; one may consider it to be absolutely nothing while another may consider it to be a deep representation of what life really is. As Leo Tolstoy said, “Man…by means of Art…transmits his feelings.” Some people may be skeptical by saying some art, for example a page of white, does not show emotion nor an idea but the canvas is showing the human emotion apathy and...

...Bateman and like most sane British citizens I have become enlightened to the greatest con of all time. Who would’ve thought that a scribble, a squiggle and a splat could’ve brought so much pandemonium to the world of modern design? Yes, I am of course referring to the defilement that is abstract art. The other day I was in my art lesson when, just for a laugh, I asked my teacher what she thought of abstract art; of course she began a tedious moan about how “you can’t tame art; art is FREE!” and how it’s meant to evoke an emotional response. Startled by her reply I soon realised (as I’m sure you do) that I did in fact have a very strong emotional response to abstract art; of utter loathing. It’s usually just a poxy little shape throw onto to a canvas sprinkled with a few blobs and then thrust under the nose of a (presumably near-blind) gallery owner. I mean, how these artists can expect us to relate to their paintings emotionally when they just use simple geometric shapes is a mystery; I’m emotionally connected with my brother and my mum but neither is a triangle nor a cube. But it’s not just about what abstract art is, it’s about what it represents. I never understood the whole thinking outside the box idea; yes I know that once every one hundred years you need some crazy thinker with typical shaggy grey hair and inch thick glasses to help us on to the next stage in humanity, like the invention of the wheel or the flushable toilet. But for the rest of the time everyone gets on just...

...It’s a shame that’s blocked by censorship, How can someone express those ideas when they’re always blocked? “Artists are usually caught in a difficult dilemma. The urge for self-expression is strong, but there is the thorny issue of censorship” An artist could have painted a beautiful, original painting. Only to have the piece of artwork to be censored, or removed from museums, and stores because it was deemed as “offensive” or “inappropriate”. It is really scary because nowadays it is really hard to express a fresh, original idea on a blank canvas but, it is not approved by society. When someone spends time spends time painting or writing down a new idea only to have it rejected, it really hurts. Censorship is getting unmanageable. Everywhere there is censorship. From books to art, it’s becoming unruly. Suppressing ideas and originality, what else could it...

There are many different types of intermediate sanctions used in the United States; they are called intermediate sanctions because they are less severe than prison and more confining than probation.
