What I enjoyed the most from this painting is its great size as well as its variety of objects and figures, which open your mind and allow you to use your imagination. This painting also caught my attention because it is painted in a wall, that has some crack and bumps, which gives you a scary sensation and creates a tense environment. I considered it very interesting because as you get closer to the picture, you find more details that amazes you and adds to your eagerness of knowing the message and the behind it. The message delivered by this painting is very complex, which can be understood in different way, depending on the point of view and perspective. The colors being used are all dark colors, especially green and dark blue that creates a cold, dark, gloomy, negative which work very well in the world of mythology or an unreal world.
The Pumpkin is a painting while The Mirror Room is a whole room full of dots. Moreover, it is very interesting that the one has a dark background and the other has a light one. Yayoi Kusama succeeded to make everyone feel like a child again via her art works. The asymmetric polka dots are able to drive each one of us crazy; nevertheless, the result is awesome and interesting. An art work full of dots is not something that is made from everyone or something that is seen every day.
She is considered a renowned folk artist, best known for her vibrant visionary drawings. As I looked over her drawings, all done with a mixture of crayons and pencil on paper, I was confounded at how the childlike drawings would be given such accolade. It made me wonder, the consideration entailed that determined these drawings value. I looked over them and thought, wow my daughter draws better then this person and yet I doubt they’d display her artwork at a museum. While I realize her work spoke directly of her time and life experience, which in itself is compelling, I found her work extremely rudimentary and juvenile.
She had “dolls that did pee-pee and miniature GE stoves and irons and wee lipsticks the color of cherry red,” (1-3). I think Piercy tried to show in this first stanza how innocent and oblivious children are to the world around them. When I was that young I didn’t have a care in the world, I had no pressures or worries in life at all. As you get older, everyone has pressures to excel in everything they do, to be the best, to win, have the best stuff, or to just look good. We get insight to the girls growing up years.
Claudia Munguia Eng 201A 10/20/2012 Kid’s TV Commercials Racism still exist in our society today. From the 1960’s to modern days we can still see how children’s development is highly affected by television commercials. Growing up in my early childhood years I remember watching cartoons showing blonde, beautiful girls and I always dream of being that way. Furthermore, I don’t remember a day where I saw myself represented the way I look or my race taking a place as a leader. Mostly every commercial had images of skinny, perfect body girls with blue eyes or simply just white.
He flutters around the window, not only with energy, but with “passion,” something Woolf suggests that humans should be doing. Virginia Woolf valued the life of the moth as evidenced by her tone and the diction she used to describe the moth. Woolf uses diction like “vigorous”, “garnished”, and “marvelous” when describing the moth’s outward appearance. Humans all need that energy that possesses the moth; one needs to be consumed with vitality in order to make the most of our “inconsequential” lives. In our daily lives we face adversities and situations hard to overcome yet we find ways to keep on going and survive.
The most important is a story. I feel like I should be able to look at the painting and see a past and a future. In the painting “The Allegory of Peace and War”, for example, I can look into the eyes of the man and woman and see their personal objectives. It’s an amazing talent to be able to capture such emotion and power in a painting through someone’s eyes. I know every time I attempt to draw a pair of eyes, one is always excessively larger than the other.
She uses her imagery to describe her everyday struggles and show relativity. She tells how her family, coworkers, and students accepts her and doesn’t find her as “predicament”. As stated above, her use of imagery really gives the audience a vivid picture of her daily struggles—“So many movements unbalanced me, and as I pulled the door open I fell over backward, landing fully clothed on the toilet seat with my legs splayed in front of me.” Overall, I believe that the text is trying to make the readers understand a new and divergent perspective of “cripple
I think of the struggles that I shared with them. I also think of the hole we’ve been digging ourselves into. You see, we have spent decades trusting that the kids of the new generations will find a role model by themselves, and for the most part, that statement is entirely true. But the cards that are being dealt in today’s mainstream culture have largely changed for the worse. We have begun to let kids look up to the unreliable and equally unpredictable pop idols that rock our daily feed of celebrity gossip, instead of idols that will show them a path
