Along the middle and upper divisions of the painting, tall vertical lines create buildings that line the streets (see fig. 1) drawing the viewers eyes from fore to background to show that the buildings stretch as far as the eye can see. Next, the smoke rising from certain structures all the way down the street demonstrates the industrial feeling that accompanies one’s perception of cities. On the…
Visual Analysis In the film “The Long Day Closes” the scene of Tammy’s in Love helped demonstrate the film maker’s use of the cinematic elements such as mis en scene, cinematography, editing and sound to help the audience understand the protagonists feelings of loneliness, and being conformed into a routine, as well as having a hard time of being an individual. The purpose in this film was quite an interesting one. In this particular scene of Tammy’s in Love, the filmmaker was very intricate when it came to the purpose of the films mis en scene.…
We are encouraged to read between the lines and find that underlying allegory, but we don’t want the allegory to be the body of the film, we want it to be the thesis. We watch films for the sake of entertainment, not a bias lecture. The film makers must use these deceptions in order for us to follow the argumentative position that a film takes up for the sake of…
The use of balloons in battle previous the Civil War was scarce and many found little benefit to their usage. This perspective was left unchanged until the Civil War was commenced. The Union Soldiers used balloons for several different purposes that were not thought of, including aerial surveillance and communications. Even though some military officers did not approve of the balloons and found their mistakes as failures, many found them very useful during battle. Balloons gave those who used them a great advantage in the sense that they were relatively easy to transport from one location to another through the use of horses, barges, and other methods of transportation.…
Can you imagine a balloon causing an entire grid of electricity to go out? Local lawmakers in California are trying to ban balloons and this is causing a controversy. This news was discovered in a video called, “California Bill Aims To Ban Metallic Balloons To Reduce Power Outages,” an article, “Parties Can Be Fun Without Balloons,” By Natalie Romero, and another article, “Balloons Bring Joy To Millions,” By Theo lewis. While the authors discussed the same topic, they used different rhetorical devices to present their claims. All three sources revealed their arguments using similar approaches.…
The aspect of reality is very complex and difficult to understand. However, it has been able to perceive it by the clear connection of cinema with other ideas that are well understood by most of the people. Most of the readers contend that reality and the various semiotics that are available in the community are not easy to comprehend and relate to. Pasolini and the other authors have managed to eliminate these controversies by giving as many examples as possible and being able to explain the difficult points using other views that are normally available to make it easy to relate and understand (Pasolini 212). In general, any film consisting of the life’s details is always interesting to watch, as audience can relate the events with the happenings around them.…

I have struggled with drugs and other things in my past but I am not the same person I was when I was 18. It have been 5 years and I have changed a lot just like anyone else would. In my past I did not want to be a role model BECAUSE I wasn’t stable but I have grown. I think that all famous people need to be positive influence for other people because there are so many bad influences out there. I was put into the spotlight to do more than just sing and that is what I am doing.…
In the excerpt “the Four Books on Architecture” Palladio develops a numerical and logical system organizing spatial relationships among the elements involved in any building. This system is a guidance for architects when designing such buildings as villas and houses. As well this system includes detailed rules to be considered when an architect arranges building rooms, when he specifies the proportions of spaces, when he makes decisions about the dimensions of halls associating the height of a space with its dimensions and when he specifies the sizes of doors and windows for a room. Also, he sheds light on differences between simple spaces and elegant spaces and criteria to be considered when an architect makes decisions about whether spaces…
These “orientation devices” such as the position of the lights that line the ceiling, the fountain, and the door at the end of the hallway, give the viewer of the film a point from which to reference, and orient themself. However, in contrast to the example Ahmed uses in the text “Queer Phenomenology”, where an individual is introduced blindfolded in an unfamiliar room, and must orient themself through “orientation devices” and the directionality of left and right, the viewer of Serene Velocity is allowed to begin oriented in space, with a general understanding of the hallway, and then become disoriented as the focal lengths begin to shift by greater degrees. In spite of this, through the process of viewing the film, the disoriented viewer becomes more oriented in space due to familiarity, and even to a certain extent, has a greater knowledge of the hallway by latching on to certain “orientation devices” that begin to present themselves in the film, such as the door and the the fountain that is adjacent to the camera. These then become percepts, objects that objectively occupy a specific space that the individual becomes familiar with, and thus latch onto. Through this, the viewer reorients themself.…
Mohammed Waseem Chiraagh 1380983 ARCH 6313 - Critical Studies 3 Major Assignment Traditionally as humans, when critiquing a building our thoughts are based on the buildings form as a whole, one defined object or boundary made up of different components which creates the overall look, structure and how it fits into the contextual surroundings. In the text “Why Architecture Matters” Paul Goldberger, shows that not only the outer boundary or façade is important but that there is another dimension which is often open to wider interpretation and often disregarded when thinking about a building. This being the interior space within these boundaries, the interior of the building says a lot more than its exterior, as it defines the space, the light and the mood it creates.…
The architecture of the city summarises the city’s form. There are two different meanings. First, the city is a large man-made object, growing over time. Second, urban artifacts characterise by their history and form. The urban artifact intimately relates to a specific place, event and form in the city.…
The image of the bedroom itself is important as it represents the intimacy of these obsessions and connects them to the outer frame story. This connection between obsession and the bedroom allows…
In many architectural instances space can represented by nature as well, and not just restricted the interiors and this is how the garden was then understood as a space. Space, being conceptual or literal, is the core foundation in any architecture because it is space that creates setting. In architecture there can be different kinds of space whether it be enclosed or not they can form empty and filled spaces or gaps and holes, which create a void space. The most general idea of architectural space is an enclosed area and this is because the general population tends to only understand something that they can actually visualize. It is space that is formed by the structure itself, the walls and roof and construction barriers and they create…
