Although he briefly trained as a Naval Surgeon, Ferguson soon realised that his ambition was painting and he spent some time travelling in Spain, Morocco and France to develop his artistic knowledge and experience. The first painting I am going to discuss is 'The Pink Parasol' which is a portrait painted in 1908 of a fellow artist and friend Bertha Case, when they were both in Paris. In this painting Ferguson adopted much stronger colours than in his other paintings and like Matisse used green paint to represent shadows in the face. He emphasised pattern by merging the pink parasol with the background of his picture by blending it with the cold colours. The painting is of a woman peering over her shoulder, she is wearing a hat with a pink bow and is also wearing a scarf, in the background there is a pink parasol around strong blocks of cold colours.
Willie Bodrey Mrs. Busse English 1102 February 2, 2009 The Use of Setting in the Yellow Wallpaper In present day writings, readers see setting used to create, and enhance many aspects of a story. This technique of writing was also seen in a short story written in 1899, called “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Gilman. Through close evaluation, readers see how Gilman used the setting to create and enhance character, mood, theme, and plot in “The Yellow Wallpaper.” The setting of this story told the readers how the characters should act. The narrator states that it was “A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate…” (Perkins 1). This gave the reader the insight of knowing the story was in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s.
In Cassatt's picture, the subject matter is a portrait. This is because she focuses on the facial features of the mother and the child. She also tries to show the observer their personality. While in Tanners’ piece the subject matter is narrative. Narrative subject matter is when the artist tries to tell a story about their piece.
In addition, describe how the author developed and changed this character from the beginning to the end of this story. Include a hand drawn or computer generated picture of that character.

Your essay will have five paragraphs.
A section of the animation opus of former Art teacher Sheila Graber is concerned with showing how artists worked and thought through the medium of animation. This paper shows the different ways that Graber has tackled the use of animation as an art teaching tool. Four Views of Landscape (1976) constructs familiar paintings of Constable, Monet, Turner and Van Gogh using a caricature of each painter as the generator. Michael Angelo (also 1976) uses a similar character technique in a more biographical way. William Blake (1978) moves the concept into a much more dynamic arena: created to accompany an exhibition of Blake’s paintings and etchings, the film robustly animates his private temporal and spiritual mythology without a voiceover explanation, in an explosion of images that is both aesthetic and disturbing.

“Landscape of Orpheus and Eurydice” – Nicolas Poussin Artists from the Baroque period used Greek myths as sources for their art over and over again. In the following sections I am going to talk about a specific Painter named Nicolas Poussin (1549-1665) and his mythical Painting “Landscape with Orpheus and Eurydice”. To make it easier and better to understand this painting, I am going to give a short summary of the story behind the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and afterwards I will take a closer look at the painting itself. Nicolas Poussin used the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as background for his painting “Landscape with Orpheus and Eurydice”. The story behind this Greek myth is about Orpheus, son of the God Apollo, and his beautiful wife Eurydice.
Noh Theatre possesses a myriad of distinctive characteristics that were evident from the Noh prints we were to analyze from the Study Gallery at the Ackland Art Museum. These prints were made from taking a specifically carved woodblock, or woodcut, and painting the raised areas to press down onto paper. This technique, created by Tsukioka Kogyo, reminds me of a how a stamp works. In these beautiful prints, I noticed that there wasn’t such a broad spectrum of colors used; the artist used mostly “earth” colors, including blue, red, green, brown, black, and yellow. Immediately, I remembered the five-colored curtain that is a part of a typical Noh stage.
Calling herself a “…Thought provoking modern surreal artist” Scheetz-Wise’s aim is to incite an emotional impact on the viewer whether it could make you laugh, cry or be shocked by making them aware about events occurring throughout the world. Scheetz-Wise’s stunning artwork is usually found to explore symbolism and abstract ideas fused together to shape an event or person and their embodiment. Sandra Scheetz-Wise also has her artwork symbolism used for studying in a Florida College. Linda Kunik has always used the land as a reference for her artworks using different mediums like watercolors. Her ideas led to the merge of formalism, globalization and environmental issues in abstract ways to put forth her views on matters.
In the book, Girl with a Pearl Earring written by Tracy Chevalier, art plays a big role, because throughout the book both of the main characters help each other through their artistic abilities. Throughout the book, Griet’s master, Johannes Vermeer, learns a lot of new information from his maid, which helps him improve his paintings for the better. One day, Johannes Vermeer was painting a picture of his patron’s wife, and as Griet was doing her duties in the studio, she found one change that she would like to do in the painting. She waited for her master, to make the change in the picture, but he didn’t, so Griet “decided she would have to make change herself” (Chevalier 133). Griet thought that if she made the change it would make the picture more interesting and better.
