Comics In his essay, “Setting the Record Straight,” Scott McCloud focuses on not the negative connotations of comics but on the limitless of comics. He argues that modern art should not continue to be perceived as bad. In the essay, he shows how people can start to think about the relationship between illustrations and words through his comic story. According to McCloud, “The definition of comics as “crude, poorly-drawn, semiliterate, cheap, disposable kiddie fare” (348). Mc Cloud means comics are not represented as a great art form as opposed to any art that is surreal.

As with such shapes, there was a general lack of roundness in the painting which I found interesting, as such regular shapes paired with the intensity of the irregular colors perfectly juxtaposed one another, creating a uniform widespread focal point throughout the entire painting. In terms of design principles, Diebenkorn employs a number of such devices. Though one would expect linear shapes to create precise points of symmetry, the presence of so many rectangles and other geometric elements scattered throughout this piece resulted in creating a highly asymmetrical effect. Contrast is also heavily used, as was previously mentioned, the acute distinction between inconsistent color and uniform shape causes the viewer’s attention to be drawn towards the work as a whole, instead of a singular point of focus. The use of variety may additionally be noted.
The answer, he’s not really sending one at all. Kehinde only paints the pictures. The message or hidden meaning as it may be called weather it is in the title or in the background is picked by the sitter in every painting not by Kehinde himself. By being completely non objective in his work Kehinde allows the viewers to explore new possibilities with the meaning of his art, and he seems to always be a step ahead of those investigating his methods. It’s one of the many reasons why people believe Kehinde’s art will remain popular and will not be lost in history as time passes us
He had a sensual style but he managed to describe it in an elegant and not offensive way. Jon Whitcomb represented the New School’s innovations. He still based his illustration on the previous advertising era’s style, but instead of rendering the whole image perfectly, he only rendered and draw the details on the parts where the focal point was and he used simple,flat geometrical shapes and patterns to accent that focal point even more (just like Coles Phillips, Joseph Leyendecker) . Lost and found edges appeared especially on the clothes of the figures in his illustrations, which we’ve already seen in the era of The Roaring Twenties. New School Illustration was an innovation.
Writers never seem to use the same features in the same ways another writer does. Their writings are always shaped differently than another writer’s work. The two different Native American writers both use diction, syntax, imagery, and tone, but N.S. Momaday and D. Brown used each one differently to convey their overall purposes, which were to describe two similar but completely different landscapes. Diction can be thought of as the simplest and most powerful tool in writing.
Prof. EAP 120 6 May 2014 A Deep Reflection on Three Paintings Art seeks particular idealisms within each time in history whether it is imposed upon them by an emperor, pharaoh, king, or pope, or self-imposed by the artists themselves. This may be especially true of these painters, Tiziano Vecelli (Titian), Edouard Mamet, and Pablo Picasso, all with their own ideals. Two aspired to their own personal vision, while the other followed in the footsteps of his contemporaries. Titian's Venus of Urbino, 1538, was painted for Guidobaldo II, duke of Urbino. This was probably a mere representation of a courtesan in her bedchamber elevated to the status of classical mythology, yet there is no evidence when the work was commissioned that it was intended as anything more than a female nude for the private delectation of the duke.
Solomon Petchenik Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep avoids convention. Many inventive pacing techniques bend the curve of the traditional narrative plot line. The characters, while abundant, are not all essential to the story and just add branches to the realistic scenarios. The character roles, protagonist and antagonist, are never truly defined. All of these techniques are to paint a realistic world not bound by the rules of storytelling.
Caravaggio’s figures are solid and substantial with a strong, sculptural presence. He captures the dramatic intensity and vulnerability of the moment with the expression on Saint Peter’s lifelike face. Here Saint Peter is not idealized but has a normal, regular man’s body and aged face. Caravaggio illuminates his figures against a dark background so they appear as if on a stage and the action takes place right before us, pulling us in to the drama. A contemporary of Caravaggio who brought the
