The second main theory is the Politeness Theory. In this movie, politeness theory and its concepts have appeared a lot. There are two concepts showed by the film. The first one is about that Claude and Marie usually would like to maintain their positive faces in public places. And another part is about how did Claude or Marie made face threatening acts, and what is the difference between their face threatening acts. Politeness Theory means when people interacted with others, they tried to…

remember I love to make art, to this day I still do. I had what a little kid had to make little art pieces; markers, watercolor, crayons, color pencils, and a lot of cheap dollar store office supplies. I had a big imagination as a child and I drew what I thought were my pride and joy, and at that age I knew I couldn’t do art for my future and I thought drawing won’t make a huge impact in my life, but little did I know that in my high school years did I realise that my own art that I created had…

otherworldly beauty of their landscape portraits. Thomas Moran in his pictorial presentation, Below the Towers of Tower Falls, Yellowstone Park, 1909, oil on canvas, which is based on nature utilizes shapes that are preponderantly organic and give his art the environmental and natural taste (Moran). His piece, with its vibrant natural presence and lighting is captivating to look at; it looks entirely natural as if it were a photo, yet the piece is a manmade artistic that depicts with intricacy…

and Fritz Bleyl. Fritz Bleyl left the group shortly after (Die Brücke). The name, Die Brücke, was taken from writings of the philosopher Friedrich Nietszche, of whom the group greatly admired. It was to symbolize the bridge they would cross to the art of the future. Specifically, it was taken from Nietszche’s Spake Zarathustra in which the prophet Zarathustra says that “what is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal”. Other strong…

visit to an art museum because it is incredible to see so many different types of artwork. A person simply can not get everything out of a piece of artwork by simply look at their phone. There are many important visual and design elements that are incorporated to this piece of artwork. Each of them have a specific role on what they achieve to the viewer. The subject matter of The Bedroom is that Van Gogh wanted to create a scene of a bedroom. Van Gogh created this representational art to show…

Every individual has different perspectives on any given object or concept. On Tuesday December 5, I attended the McNay Art Museum and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The first floor displayed Chuck Ramirez’s, a notable artist from San Antonio, well-known work and provided the descriptions for his artwork. I had walked through the museum and found three art works that resonated with me each telling a different story. Focusing on these three artworks I will identify, describe, analyze, and…

Art was never of large importance when growing up. With a mother who is an engineer and a father that is an architect, my upbringing was rather pragmatic. Because of this apathy towards art, most of my beliefs about art and creativity came from the culture around me. One of these beliefs was that a piece of art comes fully from within the artist; that, to be a successful artist requires being a special class of person akin to a demigod. I believed that to be an artist you had to be born with…

successful or not? Sandro Chia had once felt that in his own right, he was not. Chia wanted to be the rock star of art not just well know. He blamed certain circumstances on others of his ruined reputation and the low value of the work in the art market. But his artwork may not have fit with the shaping of the times and the decline of the short-lived art movement he was associated with. Even, Art dealers said that Chia was not producing masterpieces that others were at the time. Many of these…

Reflection of Art in My Everyday Life On a daily basis, I pay close attention to the colors, prints, and photographs of the places I go to, and things I see. I love to organize and decorate things which I learn by observing new things and methods to do so. Photography is one of the things that I am more interested in. Sometimes I take the time to decor my room since I consider it my safe place. I wish I could do more but I am a very busy student who works 6 days a week. I live away from my…
