...The green light has a many different symbolic meaning that what first comes to thought. Gatsby would often reach towards or look at the light. Also, Gatsby built his house across from Daisy and used the light to feel closer to Daisy. When the green light is first introduced to the book, it seems very miniscule in the grand scheme of things, but when further looked into, the role of the light is revealed as a important symbol to the story. The most obvious symbol of the green light is Gatsby’s desire and hope to be with Daisy once more. In chapter one Gatsby is at his dock looking longingly towards Daisy’s dock with the green light. Then later on in chapter five Gatsby is caught reaching towards the green light as if he expects Daisy’s hand to be next to his. Gatsby has a sense of hope when looking at the light. That hope is carried on throughout the book. He believes that it is his way of staying connected to Daisy and hope to be reunited once again with her. He hopes that Daisy will learn to love him like she once did, and things would go back to like they were before. Daisy, of course, can’t bring herself to leave Tom for Gatsby. Gatsby continues in his hopeful fantasy of the past. He becomes overly consumed by his fantasies that his thought process in the present is manipulated into thinking that are just simply not reality. Its a dream that Gatsby strives for, and will go to any lengths to get it. When Gatsby realizes at the hotel that Daisy also shares love for Tom...

...Colors are always used by novelists or artists in their work to show their mood or attitude. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, many colors are repeated many times to show Fitzgerald’s attitude toward certain character. The most important color in this book is green, more specifically the green light, shows Gatsby’s hope and ambition to achieve his American dream in the beginning to how he eventually fail to attain it with money. The color green reminds us of hope and renew. In the book, Gatsby himself views the green light as a sign of he should go for his dream. He always believes Daisy will leave Tom and choose to marry him again. In real life, when the traffic light turns green, it is a sign tells us it is safe to go. Gatsby interprets this as he is right with everything he is doing right now and he will soon achieve his goals. When he says “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. “She’ll see.”(Fitzgerald, 110.), it shows he has the confidence that he is on the right track. However, the narrator Nick...

...Portrait, the subject matter depicted is like the title aptly puts, himself, albeit in a more unconventional and abstracted manner. This is as opposed to the more realistic manner in which van Gogh has depicted himself in Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear. In Self Portrait, Affandi has characterised himself as a semi-abstracted figure against a plain background, with the highly detailed face in stark contrast with his torso, which as suggested by its dark green contour only (without any colouring within), appears to only be vaguely apparent. Affandi also seems to be placing extreme focus on the human emotions or mood, presumably meant to be conveyed by the extremely detailed expression on the face that he has painted. In fact,everything is lumped together (in fact, most of the colours used) on the face in his painting. Upon closer examination, one would find that Affandi’s face as depicted in this work is actually more of a mass of red rather than anything else, and lined with blobs of different colours (namely yellow and green) presumably to represent the hair. Details on the face are not clearly made out, rather only a faint outline of the eyebrows, eyes and nose is apparent. This is as opposed to Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear in which van Gogh has similarly depicted himself, albeit in a far more realistic manner, where all his facial features are clearly visible and modelled. Close attention is also paid to his body, clothing (as evidenced by the precise and exacting brushstrokes...

...Being Green: A Life of Opportunity When I hear the iconic Kermit the Frog’s statement about the hardships of being green, I assume that being such an unordinary color could be seen as a difficult lifestyle because of the perpetual contrast the color places between the frog and the rest of society. Nobody else within society seems to be green, and the world must judge Kermit because he is out of the ordinary. However, in his song “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” Kermit is actually lamenting about how this life is difficult because he is in fact ordinary, blending in with the greenness of the natural landscape around him. Unlike Kermit, however, I believe that both the contrast of Kermit with modern society and the comparison of the frog with nature...

...Mark Rothko American artist, Mark Rothko, is one of the major abstract expressionists painter. His works are more than just paintings, as they represent pure and complex internal meaning. Rothko’s paintings each have some sort of underlying meaning. His uses of colors were meant to get attention of the audience. The Rothko room at the Phillips collection museum is comprised of four paintings of his. The room is small but the paintings are quite large and almost fill most of the wall. Being in the room gives a sensation of closeness with the artist. To understand his work, each painting should be looked at individually with some knowledge of the artist’s intentions. Each color, shade, layer, composition brings his paintings to life. Color is the main component in Rothko’s paintings and it is what he is known for. Certain colors of each individual painting represent some kind of an emotion. Dark colors give a sensation of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, and sorrow. In contrast to dark colors, bright colors have a feeling of positive emotions such as happiness. Some of Rothko paintings have both colors, which makes the painting even more complex and difficult to comprehend. The way his paintings are painted, it is easy to tell that there is a message that it is trying to convey. Rothko uses more than just simple colors but layers of them. Each layer is painted on so eloquently that it is visibly calling for attention. Layers of colors give his painting more depth...

...Frida’s forehead is that she always has him on her mind and she loves him so deeply no matter how badly he hurts her, Diego is Frida’s third eye. Diego on the other hand, has an actual third eye resembling lying, and cheating, it shows that Diego does not think about Frida because if he did Frida would have painted herself on his forehead. The third eye references Frida made in her painting shows how their relationship works or how it was formed. The portrait includes a variety of symbols and objects including tears falling down her cheeks, a third on Diegos forehead, Diegos face on the middle of Fridas forehead, hair closing around Fridas neck and her mono-brow. The paint has been well blended and has been applied smoothly, but not to the extent that the portrait looks photographic. Her painting style is naive as she had no formal art education. Although critics have labelled her artwork as surrealistic, Frida counters that she paints her reality. Her artworks were influenced by Diego and her traumatic life experiences. There is a naturalistic colour scheme with green and flesh hues. Splashes of colour such as the deep scarlet of her lips and...

...the spectacular landscape of the North Cascade Mountain Range. The rugged wilderness and plentiful wildlife of the Northwest inspired many of his earlier paintings. Much of his work is displayed in his own gallery, Doug Miller Gallery, located in the Bavarian-style village of Leavenworth. Doug’s paintings have been acknowledged for numerous awards in Northwest art shows that he attends, including the former Arts for the Parks competition, held annually in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Collectors often remark that his paintings are peaceful and serene; they exhibit a depth that “makes you feel like you can escape into the painting.” In this painting, there are pink carnations, with green stems and are hanging in the air or are baseless. The pink color of the flowers is bright while the foreground color is a subdued brown. The background color ranges from a smudgy yellow to a light green. The shape of the painting is asymmetrical, and the texture of the flowers, foreground, and background is rough. There is a bunch of pink carnations with green stems. The landscape of the painting is indoors because there is no source of light, and the bunch has been suspended in the air. The color of the background is light green with some elements of yellow, and it creates an illusion of a light-source. The orange and green colors are very intense. The colors of the carnations contrast with the subdued brown color that is in the foreground and is acting as a "base" to the carnations. The lines of...

...Name: Instructor: Course Date: Art Report; critique Critique refers to a systematic and discipline analysis which is always written or can be presented in an oral form. In most cases, critique has been viewed as the acts of analyzing documents, literary work or pictures with an aim of making judgments that are negative and trying to find some faults in the analysis. However, critique does contain some form of recognizing the merits entailed in the subject matter and can be given a philosophical view of a practice that involves doubt. The entire sense of critique has been contemporarily been influenced by the critique of enlighten which involves authority and prejudice. This is always shaped by the autonomy and emancipation from the authorities in the political fronts and the religious authorities. The Florida Scene Florida scene is a pictorial presentation by Thomas Moran. Moran in his presentation greatly bases on nature, which largely is in the center of influencing his art. In his scene, Thomas uses shapes that are predominantly organic and gives his art the natural and environmental taste. Analysis of the artwork The landscape in the artwork presents an irregular scope on the southern side of the landscape accompanied by vegetation which is often rounded and carved. The artwork has the sky and the ocean too. Visible are some trees which have their branches curved and there is a layer of wild flowers and...

...NSCI 101 Lab Report Form Name: Date: Class Name/Number: NSCI101 Section E801 Semester 1006 Lab Activity Title Input the title of the activity. Statement of the Problem What are the ph levels for items we come into contact with on a daily basis? Hypothesis I expect the 7 sample items to have a wide variety of ph Levels. However, I expect that items we consume as humans will be closer to the neutral range of the ph scale while items we use to clean around the house will be inversely proportional to the items we consume. I believe the household items will be on the extremes, either extremely basic or extremely acidic. Methods Items for experiment were purchased from the Commissary and the Nhetto. They include: 1 x .608 kg head of red Cabbage 2 x Melitta white coffee filters 1 x 12 oz coke 1x Tums antacid 1x Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover 1x 22oz bottle of Clorax bleach 1x bx of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda 1x toilet bowl cleaner 1x hohes C orange juice 750ml of tap water The following steps from the guide was followed (with changes from the instructor): 1. Using a standard cheese grater, I took the entire head of red cabbage and shredded it into small pieces. After shredding was complete the pile of cabbage was placed into a stainless steel cook pot. 2. In order to attempt to get the most accurate results I used my fish tank ph test to identify the ph level of my tap water. The result was my tap water is about a 7.8 (slightly higher than the 7.0 that...

...information plaque). The painting depicts a small purple sailboat with a green and red sail in the sea underneath an enormous, majorly, pink cloud in the light blue sky with two other red sailboats and purple steam boats. The enormous pink cloud and the light blue sky is reflected into the sea and the purple sailboat has a dark reflection in the sea as well. The sailboat is in the center of the painting while the cloud is above and behind the sailboat. The other sailboats are to the right and behind the main sailboat and the steam boats are all the way to the right in the far distance. The time of day in the work, which can be determined from the color of the cloud and sky, appears to be sunset and the sun is off canvas at the top left corner. The viewer is meant to be looking at this view of the boats and massive cloud from land and to be peering at the landscape from the very edge of the water due to no land being shown. The primary focus of the painting is the sailboat that is located within the foreground of the painting. The focus divides the painting nearly symmetrically, the sky and the lake are almost even and the boat is right in the center to keep the painting balanced. The sailboat also in a way creates a dark arrow that makes the eye go to the pink cloud. The painting contains primary colors (blue, red, and yellow). There are many hues of purple for darker clouds, pink for the cloud, light greens for the sea and sail, various blues for the sky and shadow for the pink...

...Gallery Critique On October 30, 2013, I went to UWL gallery to see amazing works of art. I had a deep impression on a picture named No One Will Ever Know that is made by Izel Vargas. 1. Firstly, I would like to discuss the use of color in this picture. Wearing a dark green T-shirt, with two broken and bloody arms, holding a dark black gun, a policeman whose head is an arguing man and woman is in the picture. The hues of this artwork are red, green, orange and yellow, and each hue has a value. The artist uses a dark value of pure red, green and yellow, a light value of pure orange. Similarly, the tint of this picture is light orange, and shades of this picture are dark red, green and yellow. For example, the skin of the arms are light orange; the bloody arms are dark red; the T-shirt is dark green; the logos of the shirt are dark yellow. The artist also uses the neutral colors which are white, black, dark black and dull brown. For example, the gun and leather belt are dark black; the background of the arguing man and woman is white; the background of the whole picture is black. The artist used the color temperature. The dark red of the bloody arms and dark green of T-shirt are warm, because the background is black that is the cooler color. 2. Secondly, I want to describe the use of line in this picture. The processes used in this particular work are contour line, hatching and cross-hatching. The artist uses the contour line to draw the outer edge of the man, woman and house...

...The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald Chapter 6 Color Analysis May 24, 2011 Jay Gatsby | -“torn green jersey” (104): The color green symbolizes wealth and money. At this time in the book, Gatsby is working for Dan Cody, the guy who greatly supplies his wealth. The fact that the jersey is torn signifies the hard work that Gatsby demonstrates which then leads to him reaping the benefits of hard work. This section furthers to talk about his parents and how they were “unsuccessful farm people” also that Gatsby “was a son of God.” This is to say that although Gatsby’s parents were hard workers, they were unsuccessful in reaching their ideal “American dream”. Gatsby is currently making those dreams happen. He was helping to complete his father’s business, and is therefore relatively “a son of God.”---- The green jersey also symbolizes the new life that he yearns for that is full of wealth. Right at this stage in the book, Gatsby is called different names: Gatsby, James Gats, Jay Gatsby, young Gats: Each name recognizes a different stages of growth towards the Wealthy life.-“His brown, hardened body lived naturally through the half fierce, half lazy work of the bracing days.” (104): Brown is the color of earth, and of “getting down and dirty”. It further symbolizes the humility Gatsby underwent while with Dan Cody. Because the idea of wealth plagued Gatsby (“his heart was in a constant turbulent riot.”), he reaped the fruit of his labor as discussed with the color change discussed...
