Tapestry

Beautifully crafted, Carole King’s album Tapestry is a work of art that I am glad that I got the chance to listen to it. To have such wonderfully created music is a gift. I am glad that she shared her own life experiences to create these songs. Unlike Taylor Swift, I feel as if her interpretations are more realistic and meaningful. She has lyrics that provide a realistic outlook on love and life. These songs are able to connect with the listen to a more profound and thoughtful level. With that…

I had been doing shows with an organization called Tapestry theater, which allows special needs youth to star in musicals with the support of an understudy/mentor, and although I loved doing Tapestry, I had not yet found the mentee that would revive my hope. I had noticed Cameron, a small, rambunctious, middle school boy with epilepsy and autism, during the winter show, and…

demands mandate art. A society’s lust for the ‘new’ and ‘innovative’ often tramples the old. Such was the case with tapestry in the 16th century as the Renaissance swept over Europe. Tapestry-makers bent to the demands of society to include Renaissance ideas into tapestry, ultimately leading to their own demise. By examining the aesthetic differences between Gothic and Renaissance Tapestry, one can examine the damage that occurred as cartoonists and weavers began applying Renaissance techniques…

As tapestries have become a decorative staple among college-aged students across the United States in recent years, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back and see where and how they began, because as they say, “everything old is new again.” To begin, what exactly is a tapestry? A tapestry is a bobbin made cloth with a surface consisting entirely of weft threads, where discontinuous wefts form beautifully intricate patterns. Tapestries originated in Coptic Egypt around 42 AD,…

“My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view”- Carole King, born in New York on February 9 1942, started her career as a Brill Building songwriter. During her career at the Brill Building, King wrote most of her songs with her husband Gerry Goffin. The duo successfully wrote more than two dozen chart hits (Wikipedia), until 1968 when the couple separated. As a result of the split King chose to move across the country to Laurel Canyon, Los…

The Bayeux Tapestry, most likely commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, serves to depict approximately fifty events related to the Battle of Hastings (Reading Museum, "Bayeux Tapestry"). This tapestry is divided into thirteen parts and is over 70 meters long (Reading Museum, "Bayeux Tapestry"). This is where most of the history of the battle is depicted. It was made only about eleven years after…

Lewd humor is the final kind present in the tapestry. Naked figures appear in the tapestry that may allude to certain fables, historic episodes, or humorous allusions. There are several instances of naked males accosting naked females who are covering themselves and shy away from their aggressor. One author postulates that these may relate to a fable where a father rapes his daughter, however there isn’t a strong theme present in this story that connects with the rest of the narrative. Another…

They are displayed in Great Stair Hall which was finished just for these tapestries. *3 The area is very open and the presence of the twelve gigantic tapestries is so compelling, one could only imagine just how powerful Constantine was As you enter into the museum at the east entrance and approach the center of the Great Stair Hall, you will find hanging from the tall…

us have most. His six large tapestries are 200 x 400cm and are mechanically woven in wool, cotton, acrylic, polyester and silk. Perry allows two works per social class in which he is exploring, the first delving entirely into the tastes and life of character Tim Rakewell, and the second showing the changeover of classes and taste…

escapes scenes are well crafted. However, the script never really presents an antagonist. It might be more effective to create a character that is clearly in conflict with Tapestry and that the foe drives the rumor that she poisoned the water. However, it’s not really clear, right now, why they seem to want to accuse Tapestry and her team so easily of treason when they are helping the planet. The motivation isn’t clear. The connection between her warning them about extinction and the greedy of…
