One of the long-standing questions about Christianity is “ What did Jesus look like? ”. This question has baffled many researchers, archeologists, and even Christians, for the Bible does not give an explicit description of Jesus. Many artists have painted pictures of the Messiah, but no one knows whose depiction of Christ is the correct one. In this paper, I will be analyzing three paintings that depict Jesus. The three paintings I will be analyzing are Head of Jesus by Warner Sallman, Jesus…

In today’s society, there is seen a lot of conformity and beliefs thrown to waste due this factor. The power that this aspect holds is quite a handful compared to any other aspect out there in life. It holds the power to rapidly change the trains of thought of a certain individual. It is a rare case where this aspect is voided and the individual is able to run what he or she believes is right for them. But there does come a time , where this life cycle of conformity is broken down to live out…

I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…

with zoology, people study the structure, habits, and evolution of all animals, both non-living and living. Animal-related careers, whether it is a zookeeper or a researcher, may seem simple, but a person needs key traits such as extreme patience, passion, and alertness. I honestly believe that patience is possibly the most important aspect when working with animals. As when all may know, animals cannot communicate with humans in the same way that human communicate with other humans. Therefore,…

Religious beliefs and the rituals created to express them have played a major role in shaping artistic expression since the beginning of time. The west is no different and we find artwork throughout generations is rich with religious meaning. From the devotional art of New Spain to the Native rituals of the Southwest, the exhibit “Art of the West” at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum displays a significant narration of western culture in one of its main themes “Religion and Ritual”. This…

Language is used to give tone, and the author’s word choice is exceedingly important regarding any connotations to the subject. Garcia Marquez takes a brothel; a place normally associated with dirty, degrading activities and glorifies it through the use of language. At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…

Gibson used more than just use the basic story of Christ’s death in the film. For example the crucification details were taken from The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This book is based on the visions a German nun called Anne Catherine Emmerich. She believed that her visions had much more than the Gospel version of the story of Christ's suffering. For exmaple, in the part where the Gospels only tell that Jesus was being whipped, she added much more detail that grabbed Gibson’s…

About six years ago, I moved to the United States together with my family. After having been here for one week, I started my ninth grade. I learned English in Vietnam for a couple years before moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the…

Michelangelo Buonarroti is one of the most famous Italian Renaissance artists in the world. He’s got his fame for being a sculptor, but he’s also a painter, poet, and an architect. He has made many sculptures and used numerous types of materials. And he once said that the Block of Carrara marble he used to make La Pieta was the most “perfect” block he ever used, and he waxed this specific block of marble more than any other sculpture he created to make it extra shiny. The sculpture presents the…
