Focal point

Throughout the first unit it is evident that the focal point is how man finds identity and purpose in the face of the often random and cruel nature of existence. In the novel The Stranger, Meursault was very blunt when Marie asked why he was mourning. This section emphasizes Meursault’s direct and honest nature, and indicates that he is easily adaptable to life changes. He presents a life-goes-on attitude, which the reader may not understand at first glance because of the recent death of his mother. This teaches him/her about how quickly a person can bounce back in the face of grief or tragedy. The message about life in this section represents what it is like to move on. Meursault chose not to deeply mourn about his mom’s death and let it get the best of him.…

The Funerary Relief of No’om was constructed circa 170CE in Roman Palmyra, which is present day Syria. The piece includes two main components, an elaborately dressed human woman and an engraved written inscription. The piece is currently located in the Ackland art museum, in the Ancient Art Section, on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The two different elements on the relief are not of equal importance. The woman, who may be No’om, is the focal point of the work.…

show in Figure 1, Wedding Portrait, an asymmetrical balance is used in the painting. This means that if the painting were to be cut in half, it would not mirror or reflect itself. There is no rhythm present in Wedding Portrait, because there is no repetition of elements. In Figure 1, nothing seems to be out of proportion or scaled to a different size. The painting does seem to have emphasis and accents, and unity throughout the work. The emphasis in the painting are Giovanni Arnolfini and his…

West’s depicting Fig 4.23 The Death of General Wolfe, we are taken back to a specific time in our country’s history and as we move through time artist like John Vanderlyn’s portrayal of Fig 4.52 The Death of Jane McCrea he begins to showcase nature in a less theatrical and more in its natural state than in earlier times.

For this analysis, the artwork I selected a Volute Krater made in Greece during the 4th century B.C.E. The artist, The Underworld Painter, uses several lines, especially in the temple made for Atlas. The horizontal and vertical lines give the temple definite shape because of the thickness and they signify that a hero who has died, is the focal point on the back of the vase. The artist also uses curved lines at the top of the vase to show the richness of detail and drive the story further. The…

light; the design principle of the images focal point; translation in meaning; contextual ambience of the gallery; lastly, my overall impression of Learoyd’s work.

These elements are the building blocks that create masterful pieces while concurrently breaking down the meaning of the work in question. In…

lower saturated clothes appeared to be dirty showing that their social standing was low. While the pastor’s highly saturated clothing showed that he had a high social standing in their society. This being said it can be said that the pastor was Brooke’s intended focal point of this painting. A focus point is defined as the center of attention. It is clear that the pastor is the focal point of the painting. Not because the painting is titled, “A Pastoral Visit,” but because anything that you look…
