    Orphan Black seamlessly uses the same actress to portray multiple roles, as Tatiana Maslany takes on the roles of Sarah, Sarah-as-Beth, Cosima, and Alison. While the characters look alike when inspected, the hair, makeup, and wardrobe provides a distinct style to each character that allows different perspectives. Sarah’s character resembles the underworld, as her first scene symbolically occurs underground. She dresses in mostly black with heavy use of leather that creates a feeling of darkness and suspicion. Her style foreshadows the death of her first clone, Beth, as her black clothing symbolizes the upcoming death.…

    • 4 Pages

    Victor Vasarely should be taught to students of Art History 1 because he fused elements of design and the Abstract Expressionist movement to achieve and nurture the Op Art movement in the 1960s. Considered one of the originators of Op Art for his visually intricate and illusionistic portraits, Victor Vasarely spent the course of a lengthy, critically acclaimed profession seeking, and contending for, a method of art making that was profoundly social. He placed major significance on the development of an appealing, available optical language that could be collectively comprehended—this language, for Vasarely, was geometric abstraction, frequently referred to as Op Art. Through detailed arrangements of lines, geometric shapes, colors, and shading, he crafted eye-popping paintings, bursting with complexity, movement, and three-dimensionality.
