Focal point

of “found cigarettes and dress pins” that the artist most likely found on the ground, seen to others as trash or waste. The sculpture is about 2 ½ to 3 feet in length and roughly equal in width. A small silver Camel cigarette box serves as the focal point in the top right part of the sculpture; its quality is damaged and it appears to have been burned. Cigarette butts encircle the case and are strategically placed to appear as if they…

woman appears to be holding the small child’s foot, it looks like she softly pressing down with her thumb. ANALYSIS: Formal Qualities FROM THE WORK: The focal point of this work is the child and women. You are immediately drawn to their faces and follow their gaze down to the china bowl. The color of the child skin help emphasis the focal point. The woman’s stripped tunic, the floral wallpaper and the patterned rug all help draw your eyes more on the small child. Seeing the child’s hand near…

in form, directs one to a focal point. The “Partners” sculpture exemplifies this pretty well. The line from Walt to Mickey goes through them holding hands which forms one of the focal points: the symbolism of their partnership, which was discussed before. It represents them building the Disney brand from the beginning, together. Another line that is revealed in form, which becomes a focal point, is the forward pointing finger of Walt. There is symbolism in this focal point as well. This part of…

Light is what helps us see every day, and without it we know that it would be much harder to observe our surroundings. Light helps us see the detail in objects and the beauty in our environment. Thanks to a few functions of our eye we can gather that light to form an image on our retina. For many people, eye sight tends to get worse as they age and corrective lenses are needed. Contact lenses provide a comfortable way to allow someone to see things with a 20/20 vision. To understand how the…

In this essay the paintings Charles, I at the hunt and The Blue Boy will be compared to one another specifically in subject matter, media and composition in relevance to their eras and styles.

“normal” focal length, not too wide and not too tight. This normalizes the scene’s space which is played up later for comedy. They show Jiff Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) standing in front of the cars on the highway and use a small depth of field to separate the two, again, reminding the viewer of the space within the scene. In the second part of the scene, Jiff is on the far side of the highway and has to run across. To make the audience really feel the danger of the situation, they used long focal…

think of a peaceful setting full of nature and relaxation. In my opinion I think that is what Andrade wants one to think and feel when looking at her art piece and also to know that human nature is important and full of beautiful living things.

She wants us to be more considerate of nature and the importance of all this objects in life. Without…
