artwork more appealing depending on the type of art it is. For this rhetorical analysis, I analyzed the graffiti called cave painting. This artwork was created by the anonymous English graffiti artist known as Banksy. Banksy’s artwork is comprised of stencils, spray-paint, and creativity. This kind of painting became his style when he was 18 years old painting a train and the police showed up before he could finish, so he hid under a dump truck for an hour. He then realized that he needed to cut…

The woman’s skin pigment is dark emphasizing the fact that she is a woman of color. The painting contains an almost monochromatic stencil background. Two different shades of light gray color along with printed roses serve as the background of the painting making it possible for the woman to become the focal point. As your eye meets the inferior portion of the painting, you will be able…

1. The oil painting, Man in a Red Turban, painted by Van Eyck represents the medium of oil painting. Van Eyck used great detail and such rich colors for his painting. The deep and rich colors of his turban depict lifelike folds. The cracks in Van Eyck’s painting represent the lines of the man’s forehead which gives him an elderly look. In Sonsini’s Fernado, Manuel, and David, has considerably less intricate detail compared to Van Eyck’s painting. The men and the background are not defined by…

It is easy to adopt a philosophy of labeling things with the standard conventional image – stereotyping encounters with generalities. However, life is not a two-sided coin. There are a multitude of differences that lend to opinion versus fact. When examining the popular street artist Banksy, it can be concluded that there are many differing opinions, especially if discussed with foreknowledge that Banksy is anonymous. It leaves room for much interpretation. However, by looking more closely at…

Art has always fascinated me in many ways. It is all around and can be seen almost anywhere. I have always found art interesting because of the attention to detail, scale of the projects, and plain beauty involved in some pieces. A very important person in my life introduced me to the beauty of art and from that time on, I have been interested ever since. One time me and my friend went on a road trip to further our interests in art. We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art. I had an amazing time…

“The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two.” - David Fincher, director of Fight Club and The Social Network spoke these words about film directing. Those words can truly sum up the rewarding yet stressful career of a film director. Film is a broad spectrum that has been shaped throughout history, from silent films to the invention of sound and color. To advance in the film industry, directors need to…

There are many different views on graffiti as an art form. From artists that make a living off of it to the many people that consider it to be pure vandalism. The conflict here is the beauty of most graffiti in comparison to what many would consider just a way to ruin the current more respectable forms of street art. This originated as a way for someone to get a certain message out to “…the widest cross-section of the population” (Riechers) but has evolved into something on its own completely.…

The art museum that I was able to visit is called the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. This is a fairly small museum. It exhibited a peaceful ambiance. The arts it included were mostly paintings. Overall, I was not impressed with the museum. The museum displayed artists with a lot of bright colors that really jumped out at you. I personally prefer classical art over contemporary art. I feel that classical art has more of a calming feel to it. I also really like art from the Hellenistic…
