Olitski's Storm: Art Analysis

Decent Essays
After further examining the art work, I portrayed that a storm was passing through with the mixture of warm and cold colors with the tough of white throughout the sky. Additionally, with the rough and rigid lines in the sky as mentioned earlier, a passing storm seems more evident. Olitski’s shapes are very smooth and simple, nothing complex or sharp. The water blends into the sky, and the island is vague yet noticeable because of contrast between the black and the colorful sky and water. Due to the slight touches of white, they appear to be the breaking of the storm to portray lightness.

Murden is one brave soul who shows bravery throughout the whole book. There are sections in the book where Tori shows more determination than others, but Murden mostly shows determination throughout the whole book as well.…

    There was tension on Guadalcanal. It was almost a living quality, like the gases composing the atmosphere.

General Vandegrift felt it.…

    The Bashi-Bazouk painting illustrates one of the Ottoman Empire soldiers represented by a model. The painting illustrates a black Turkish man wearing a dress with a turban, and also carrying objects that can be described as a musical instrument and a weapon. The author painted his model taking into consideration every detail of the setting. For example, the exquisite embroidery of the soldier’s sleeves on his dress and also the sheen of the ivory of his musical instruments. Moreover, it can be seeing the stiffness of the illustration of a soldier who has a brutal behavior because as it is described by the history of this type of ottoman soldier they were undisciplined bandits who were irregular soldiers of the Ottoman Army, meaning…

    Jungle Descriptive Essay

    The jungle looked like a child had sploshed layers of solid blue, white and green paint on a blank canvas, the blue strip of sky, white line of sweltering bubbly clouds and a vast green canopy stretching beneath. It created a sign - a flag, the blue, white and green banner of the jungle, surmounted on high to declare the jungle’s glory and prowess, demanding dominance over any other lifeform because it’s a jungle out there. The canopy is a thick green blanket; it smothers the jungle until one can hardly breathe due to the oppressive, heavy air. The canopy looks like an endless swamp of algae bloom, rolling over the hills and valleys, soft to the touch like moss.…
