and definition to it. When Chuck did his portraits he would always used the Grid Method which was going box by box and he wouldn’t even look at this huge 9 foot portrait until he was done. The value was probably the most important part of his paintings because that’s where most things started out. Then shading began and this was key to his portraits because this is where all the details of his painting came out and into the picture. He would draw portraits of people only and they couldn’t have…

A split identity creates an internal struggle for an individual. One has to battle within themselves to determine which identity is their true self. In literature, the use of a doppelganger or a double allows the reader to see the internal struggle of the character expressed externally – essentially uncovering a hidden nature. In the deathbed confession style tale of “William Wilson” by Edgar Allen Poe, a young man by the name of William Wilson travels the world attempting to escape his double.…

Describe: This portrait is an oil painting on canvas. It is located in the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York. The subject in the foreground is an African American man mounted on a rearing horse in the style of Napoleon Bonaparte. The painting has a decorative, Baroque theme that looks very much like wallpaper in the painting’s background, reminiscent of luxurious French fabric. The background is also filled with tiny paintings of sperm which is Wiley’s way of parodying the style of art…

taken art seriously until then; but when I realized that I had a talent and an eager audience of my teachers and peers, I ran with it. I recall doing my first ever portrait drawing in this class. Not only was it a portrait, but it was a self-portrait. But, not only was it a self-portrait, but it was a relatively large scale self-portrait. I remember spending the entire class period locked in on that drawing; my mouth would get dry and my voice would be faulty because I’d just work so intently.…

the cat at the end of the bed in Portrait (Futago). When discussing the issues of gender, Bul does so by hoping to instill into her viewers the concept that Asian women should not allow themselves to be dependent on men nor appear weak. With Bul projecting herself onto a large vinyl object, she mocks the image of a strong woman. Morimura focuses on gender by blurring the lines of gender by posing as a female. The theatrical attire that Morimura wears, or in Portrait (Futago)’s case, the clothing…

enough to dissect. The main character was a peasant so clearly the garment was very simple with no embellishment. What I decided to focus on was the main character’s headgear. Especially since the main purpose of the movie was about the famous Vermeer portrait that bears the movie title’s name. With this information, I will make comparisons to the headgear worn by the main character…
