City Lights

stimulating visual takes on everyday sayings like “If Looks Could Kill” and “The Elephant in the Room”, but he is most recognized for his satirical works on modern day politics. These show dictatorial generals, the deteriorating environment, shining cities on hills established at the expense of a poor working class, ultimately displaying numerous forms of corruption in a humorous way. Although these paintings are too quick to point out human flaws and failures, they remain free of darkness and…

In the dark night sky these lights are seen from all-around the city. They beam down on the field with the fans, the scouts, and the players. The cool fall night has everyone in a sweatshirt, and wrapped up in a blanket. Players and fans howling out chants, screaming for their team, anything they can do to distract the other team. These are the nights that we remember, those Friday night-lights; I will never take them for granted. Offensive linemen are the first to get yelled at and last to…

from the luminous light above the doorway and the lamp on the desk. This symbolises the darkness of the joker as the lamp casts a light which shows the Jokers' face but possesses the space behind him hidden in darkness, the significance of this is that the Jokers' face is seen but the meaning of such an act is that it is displaying the character’s inner darkness and evil. The scenery of this scene is an interrogation room with marked white walls, a dirty floor and fluorescent lights. The only…

Just barely any light left in the movie, which can give the sense danger and fear throughout the scene of the movie. In contrast high-key lighting is used to do the opposite of low-key lighting. It’s used to fill the screen with brightness, which can give the scene a sense of warmness and happiness. For instance in the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” the introduction shows the dark inside of the factory. All you can see is a black background and a single dim light to show the…

The breeze felt light and soft. It carried smells of exhaust and smoke within the city. Small particles of dust and trash flew in the air. A wrapper brushed against her hair. She discarded it on the rooftop floor. The view was nice. All the lights. All the cars. All the people. It was all so nice. She made her way to the door. She began to turn the handle until she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. A ball floating in the air. An almost clear sphere appeared from the ball.…

winter’s best sights into view in the east, and it’s not too cold yet in the mid-northern latitudes. Even though the Autumn season is firmly in place, not all of the summer Milky Way has been lost. A short drive into the countryside away from city lights will reveal an impressive view. The Milky Way climbs up from the southwest horizon, passes a few bright stars, divides in two, and then rejoins high overhead. From there it heads toward the northeast where it flows down to greet the…

Introduction- What is the aesthetic element? Color is an aesthetic element that covers the aspect of light caused by reflection. To see color, you have to have light. When light shines on an object, colors bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes see colors that are bounced off or reflected. Color is an important aspect of any production. Color adds a descriptive element to a movie. Although there has been several successful movies in black and white, color gives the…

The dim gray sky barely provides any light, and the blackened sky encases the outskirts of their town in complete darkness. Life is not easy here, food always ran low and tools are constantly breaking. Despite all the hardships, the town’s folk still made the best out of what they could. Finding whatever free time they could muster to socialize, and if the conditions permit for it, then a modest festival…

I have always been fascinated with the night sky and have enjoyed looking up at it without the light pollution. While living in Las Vegas I would have to commute at least an hour past Red Rock or Valley of Fire to escape the bright lights of the city. Since moving to a small town I have been able to enjoy watching the moons and her phases, meteor showers, and seeing where the constellations are in the night sky. William Herschel was a German composer, teacher, and musician residing and…
