Suffocation Art Work

Improved Essays
My main area of concentration for all of my art pieces was to portray the ideas of suffocation from stress. Initially, there were several concepts that I had in mind to focus on, however, I feared that I would have failed in constructing it properly. Thus, I settled with concentrating on this idea for I had various ways of representing suffocation under stress, and how it entraps one in a singular place. I hoped to create drawings that emphasized on my application of colors, which frequently alternated from black and white to the use of intense blues and browns; and my main concern was to make the viewers understand the overall meaning solely based on my graphic illustration without any additional explanation. For this reason, I had experienced

    In Luis Alberto Urrea’s novel, “The Devil’s highway,” he uses a passage that describes the migrants’ digression towards death as they travel across the Yuma desert to create an uncomfortable, and sympathetic feeling from the audience. Throughout the book, Urrea uses imagery to describe the harsh conditions of the desert, and the high risk that comes along with attempting to cross it. The passage goes into detail about the unavoidable stages of hyperthermia and how each of these effects the body. Urrea intends to create more emotions within the reader and to help them fully connect with the tone throughout the book. Through imagery he not only describes to the reader what these people may have gone through while making their passage across the…

    When I write,I try to capture in words, the half etched thoughts, the unformed silences ,the vaguely understood swirl of emotions all entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic images that flash and disappear. When I visualize, I try to capture,in images this time, those half etched thoughts, those unformed silences,those vaguely understood swirls of emotions entangled with and undifferentiated from the chaotic words that flash and disappear. An image, that has never been a word before except vaguely, while it was evolving in the mind, or, a word that has been an image only in the same conditions, stands by itself as the first representation of a reality(or fantasy) that has till then seen only the world of the mind from which it evolved. It is individualistic, unique and beyond judgement , like a new born baby.…

    Art is like a window to the mind, representing how one thinks or what one feels. In some cases, it may contain elements from one’s unconscious; elements that even they are not aware of themselves. Art has zero qualifications, allowing it to be crafted by anyone and everyone, while still containing components of its creator and provoking feelings in its spectators. (Rustin, 2008) Of the pieces involved in the Best of the Season exhibit at the Webber Gallery, Lunch With Einstein by David D’Alessandris is one of the more “unusual” pieces. It contains four figures, whose heads seem to be taken from elsewhere and pasted onto their bodies.…

    Gas Mask Research Paper

    The WWI gas mask emerged out of desperation as a result of the use of chemical weapons in the war of attrition that was World War I. The gas mask was not only a lifesaving invention, but it is symbolic of the fear that the threat of chemical warfare had on society. The gas mask was developed directly to combat the morally questionable act of using chemical weapons on the battlefield alongside with the intention of saving soldiers and civilians from dying in a gruesome and ‘inhumane way’ (Slotten 1990, 480). Why should the gas mask be featured in the Canadian Museum of Civilization? The gas mask is an exceptionally important piece of technology, not solely for the innovation (gas masks had existed in some way or another for hundreds of years)…

    The Raven Parody Analysis

    “The Raven” parody was one of my first and favorite parodies I had wrote during the whole school year. I’ve selected this piece for the very reason that I expressed my real feelings including my thoughts that the parody became very visionary. This activity was entertaining to work with because I got the opportunity to write about anything, but the only problem I faced was making sure the parody rhymed through the whole piece. When I look at my other pieces of writing, this piece is different because I used more imagery details to make the reader imagine and understand how I was feeling.…

    There is a great disparity amongst the students in the dull background, who are emotionally detached from the person being operated on, and the lady on the bottom left corner of the painting, who shows enormous distress and attachment to the patient. The students in the dull background look at their notes, or at the operation happening in the center of the painting. Most lean casually to the side or rest their head on a hand. A prominent example of this is the student in the upper left whose head tilts to the left as it sits in his palm while he sits with his legs spread apart with his foot on the furniture. This impassive body language the students demonstrate is echoed throughout the entire background of the piece.…

    While reading novels and books, the reader's emotions will be set on a rollercoaster. If you had to illustrate the feelings you get while reading “On the Lake” by Olaf Olafsson, you would probably be illustrating a frozen ice pond, with you walking on the slippery surface. Suddenly you notice that the surface is cracking with every single step you take. Step after step the cracks become more and more pronounced, and you can only think of two things. First thing being reaching safety, while the second is wondering what made the ice start cracking?…

    For instance, Claesz, in trying to push his moral rather than the pure sentiment of art for art’s sake, sticks to local color and a realistic depiction of all the elements in his Still Life with a Skull and a Writing Quill. Like using simple words to tell various aesops, this plain decision does not distract from the story of futility Claesz tells in his painting, and can appeal to the widest range of people purely by faithfully presenting real objects they can identify. He is not, however, completely ignorant to the power which color can wield, as the highlighted area of the skull has a powerful contrast with the dark background, again serving to make Still Life with a Skull and a Writing Quill yet more high-impact, so it can more efficiently deliver its message. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to discern whether Pablo Picasso used local color in Still Life with a Bottle of Rum, as his integration of the subject with the background is so absolute as to be unable to tell which plane is which part of the image. His overall color scheme is extremely muted, working only in browns and tones of black, white, and gray.…

    Art is meant to capture the viewer’s attention and affect them on a deep level. Many times, it leads the audience to examine human beings at a rudimentary state. In Théodore Géricault’s painting, Raft of the Medusa, 1818-1819, Oil on canvas, the viewer does exactly that. In his painting, about 20 men are strewn on a makeshift raft from the remnants of their ship. Some are dead and some are franticly waving pieces of cloth in the air at a ship in the horizon.…

    Making An Erasure Poem

    • 616 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For this radical revision, I decide I wanted to do something unique, and from what I have seen, mine is the only one of its kind in the class. At first, I had considered creating a series of drawings that depicted how uncertainties affected an individual, but after having an internal debate with myself. I decided to create one drawing with an erasure poem that narrated what was going through a person's head, but at the same time, the narrator would be the individual going through this situation from an outside view. I also had considered just making an erasure poem by itself, but I went against it because I thought that was too simple and I would also not get a good grade due to the lack of effort. Hence, after deciding what I was going to do I created a rough draft to take to the peer review session so I could get a second opinion, and after hearing what my classmates had to say they reassured me that I was on the right path.…

    One may also say that the variety of shapes are the variety of horrific characteristics that described his wife at that time of his life. Uniting the variety of elements and principles of design, the ones brought up within this assignment and the others that can be inferred from the artwork itself, the overall artwork provides a redeeming beauty. It is like the uneasy characteristics come together and soothe things out, and provide a beauty that is in the eye of the…

    The human body has been a mainstay in the art world and its use spans across time and most ever culture. The human form has been used to tell stories, communicate cultural values, and reflect religious beliefs.

The artist may use a realistic form or something morphed or stylistic based on what he is trying to convey to his audience. Whatever the purpose may be, the use of the human form is common, but the way it is depicted differs greatly across artists, races, cultures and time.…
