    many paintings contained Christian imagery and connotations, whether outright or implied. Two paintings during this time that illustrate several concepts and depictions are Sacred and Profane Love by Titian (or Tiziano in Italian) and Velazquez’s Venus with Her Mirror.

    The Venus flytrap is a plant native to wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The scientific name for the Venus Fly Trap is Dionaea Muscipula. It’s one of the most fascinating plants to have ever existed due to its omnivorous nature. Darwin noted, “‘I care more for Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal. I will stick up for Drosera to the day of my death.” The Venus flytrap reproduces by…

    My art I created for the Venus flytrap was created on Photoshop in order to properly illustrate the various characteristics of the carnivorous plant. Originally, I was going to paint the piece for this project, but over the course of the semester, I have been extensively learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in my Digital 1 class, and I decided to switch my project over to digital media. When I first sketched out my idea for this project, I created a very simplistic view of the flytrap catching…

    While most of Titian's nudes in his Poesie series serve as idealized, eroticized figures, “The Rape of Europa” serves as a divergent example. Europa is not an idealized, simple, composition and instead complicates the Poesie narrative with her naturalism. I intend to look into the contradictory analysis of this painting and use my own visual analysis of the painting in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to come to my conclusion. Some of the contradictory elements I have found in this painting…

    Citizen: million of invisible or uncomfortably visible people Reading Rankine's Citizen made me feel uncomfortable, and triggered a sense of oppression, hostility, and anger related to the savage labeling of human beings. Our society is built around labels aimed at de-humanizing humans, erasing any trace of individuality by enhancing the apparent duality inherent in the physical. Man/Woman, White/Black, Light/Dark, Good/Bad. Man, white, light, good are all associated with power, either physical…

It may be of a specific person but it may also be an idealized rendering of the female body. Venus of Willendorf is a sculpture made of limestone; the fact that it’s a sculpture shows that the curves…
