Art work neatly lines the being colored walls of a standard sized room in the University of Arizona’s Museum of Art. Hanging next to an oil painting of a vibrant rainbow gracing the sky of what could easily be downtown Tucson, is a piece of art work the elegantly displays the stark black wing of a plane gliding over a town or city that’s been brought to life with small dots of color. That piece of artwork is American Artist Yvonne Jacquette’s “Night Wing View 1”, a 15-color screenprint published…

“I don’t know how it works, but it works.” Inadvertently, lead singer Millie Perks perfectly encapsulates the essence of emerging Gold Coast indie-rock band IVEY. Nominally, Millie is referring to the intricacies of IVEY’s song writing process; offering a mere throwaway line, before providing deeper analysis. However, underlying this, she indicates something far more resonant. She’s right, IVEY are a paradox, and yet incredibly simple. Ostensibly, their prosperity seems unlikely, having to…

Rock climbing!! “Ok girls it is time to get ready for cabin time!” Sarabi said in her amazing voice that was sweet like honey. I slowly crept out of bed and my feet touched the stone floor, when i touched my feet felt like I was in Antarctica because the floor was cold and my feet were warm. I went up to sarabi and quietly said. “ do we need tennis shoes and bug spray?” “Yes you will need both” she said with a hint excitement on her voice. I went back to my bunk and pulled my shoes out from…

In the article, “No one could see the color blue until modern times,” Loria writes how blue was not used to describe objects until more modern times. The author traced the use of each color in a language and culture and saw a pattern of the emergence of the use of each color. Black and white were the first colors to appear, and blue was the last to appear. The sky and ocean were not described as blue and used other colors and words to describe the color. I believe just because we did not used…

Eyes can see everything, whether your own or of a higher power you’re able to see everything in your own perspective. The billboard you read about in the novel The Great Gatsby is nothing but just a billboard. The eyes on this billboard belong to Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, who is an optometrist, which watches over the valley of ashes. It In the novel the eyes are associated with a higher power or God. In the Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald creates a symbol out of the billboard with eyes; it…

A godly aurora uplifts the wooden box, covered in chipping shades of bumblegum pink and gentle blue, from it’s present state on top of my dresser, as it forever holds the jewels of my past. In search of nostalgia, the contents of this unusual box are shrewn across the sheets of the queen-size bed in which I lay; one earring, one bracelet, one partially broken chain, yet they somehow belong there, despite the distinct differences between these memory-deriving ornaments. Within this miscellanous…

There are a range of colors like there are a range of personalities. Today, there are a lot of color tests you can take and the best test you can take is the Hartman Color Test. The test helps people understand what type of personality they are. The test will score a person either red, blue, yellow, or white. My first personality color is blue, and the secondary color type is white. I was given the personality trait of the color blue, because I always think my heart. My secondary color is the…

The piece of work that will be the basis for this analysis is from the Monsters gallery produced by Neal Rantoul, located in The Fitchburg Art Museum. The piece is a photograph of a female mannequin head, with a black wig and red lipstick. This essay explores society’s obsession with perfection, and how it specifically conveyed through this image. This idea of perfection versus imperfection, is empathized by Rantoul’s use of color, texture, and materials. At first glance the most prominent…

As one drives down the highway and catch a glance of someone in a bright red vehicle, one can’t help to turn their heads. There something about the color red that grabs the general public attention. “Although red is not technically the most visible color, it has the property of appearing to be nearer than it is and therefore it grabs people’s attention (Psychological)”. In the movie American Beauty, directed by Sam Menden, Menden uses red as a symbolism for power, danger, and determination to…

I’m from ripe, yellow, and riper than before, bananas and smooth, juicy, peanut butter in a jar. The jelly and bread got up and ran away. I am from fresh, bright red, succulent, tomatoes right off the vine. I’m from dead deer and fresh venison. I’m from Old, antique cars and fast, furios, prowling supercars, and trucks with heaps of mud on them with flags and more mud. I’m from muddy, wet, and ponding soccer fields and soccer balls in the back of the net on the whole other side of the field.…
