Analysis Of Little Bunnies Had Nothing Left To Call Home By Abby Spangel Perry

Improved Essays
As viewers walk through the art gallery on the Southeastern Community College campus, there are multiple compelling pieces of art that have an amazing meaningful story and purpose just below their surface appearance. The piece of art that I chose to write about is “Little Bunnies V ‘With No Forest to Call Home, The Bunnies Had Nothing Left to Lose.’” by Abby Spangel Perry. Out of all of the pieces of art in the gallery, this specific one speaks volumes to its audience. Why this piece? Why would this specific picture speak more volumes than any other piece of art in the gallery? The answer to this question is because it deals with a current issue. Deforestation is a real problem throughout the world. As seen in the image, the rabbits are living …show more content…
If you look very closely at the details in this art piece created by Perry, you can see multiple art tactics which she used in order to create this work of art. The background looks as if it is made of implied lines or lines that an artist begins by making them really dark and as it continues, becomes gradually lighter. Perry tends to use warm colors throughout her work to create her negative feeling. She may have used a palette to mix the orange/red colors. The artist uses the rabbits as the models of this piece. It looks as if she just used the stippling effect on her models. Notice, she doesn't use bright colors, because she is trying to convey a negative feeling. Perry’s use of contour lines is extraordinary and that is exactly why her models look two-dimensional. From looking at Abby Perry’s abundance of art pieces on her website, you can see that animals are her safe zone. She is comfortable expressing her stances on issues through her art by drawing animals as the models. More than that, she especially loves to draw bunnies. Most people have a soft spot for the innocent animals within the world and that is exactly why she uses them as her models. Perry probably feels that people will feel more sympathetic towards the problem she is trying to bring to light. I actually fall into that very category. I feel way more sympathetic to her problem after seeing a harmless animal being affected by

    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    The image one choses to show the world indicates individuals’ beliefs and characteristics. I am choosing John Singleton Copley’s painting of Governor Thomas Mifflin and, his wife, Sara Morris Mifflin. There are many reasons that this picture caught my eye but most importantly is the focus is on Sara Morris Mifflin. This is significant, because at that time women where often viewed as an extinction of their husbands. This image shatters that notion because she stares out at the viewer with a cool confidence that commands respect.…

    For my fieldwork I interned a woman named Jill Spivack, who is a LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist and pediatric sleep consultant. She co-founded the company Sleepy Planet Parenting, in Los Angeles, which was created to help parents with the early stages of child-hood development in her private practice or in group therapy sessions.

    Composers construct images to draw an emotional response from responders and exposes them to mew ideas and perspectives. Visuals in texts are a powerful tool to reshape understandings of specific ideas and draw us into their experience. Judith Beverage uses the observation of an animal, a giraffe in Domesticity of Giraffes and a spider in The Orb Spider and uses this as an inspiration to comment on the beauty and order of the natural world and the result of interfering with this balance. Doris Lessing explores the conflicting feelings about the transition from childhood to adulthood, taking a moment in a young boy’s life for her symbolic short story Through the Tunnel. Using a variety of techniques, both composers construct powerful images…
