Being an avid outdoorsman this painting spoke to me like none of the others, it reminded me of all the memorable days I’ve spent backpacking through the Sierra Nevada mountains with my friends. This painting represents the raw beauty of the outdoors. This painting was painted using oil on canvas sometime before 1938. He used a very thick brush when painting this in order to create a “blotchy” effect
Unlike Brian who wanted to be rescued, Muir appreciated the wild and was extremely passionate about trees and flowers and animals. He was in favor of preserving American wilderness. Nature was like his church. He was famous for publicizing Yosemite and making it a national park. Brian was not dying in the woods but he did not appreciate it and loved the woods enough to be happy with how he had to live when he was stranded.
Whether he was using collage techniques, fusing, clippings from a magazine or a stroke of a brush he created powerful art that will be in minds forever. His visual recollections of the south drawn from real-life memories and stories are anything but usual. His painting “The Family” (1941) demonstrates Bearden’s love for the Cubist style and through this he addresses family’s complex relationships and rituals that were able to tie into my own real-life experiences. Romare Bearden demonstrates that you can take something simple and turn it into something beautiful and meaningful, and that is something he will always be remembered for. The painting, “The Family” can be easily be defined as a
Different visions of Australia are represented through the poetry of Robert Gray and Jeannie Baker’s picture book. While Australia is often presented as a land of diversity, some texts also discuss the complex relationship between humans and the environment to be one of renewal, or in contrast, destruction. All three texts emphasise the strong connection between man and the environment, and…. Through the composer’s view of Australia we begin to understand the diversity and complex nature of Australian culture. Australia is a peaceful and diverse country with natural beauty, however man-made aspects can be a threat.
The distinctively visual in Douglas Stewart’s poems convey a lasting impression of nature and mankind by creating vivid images of Australian fauna and flora through the use of language techniques. The images he creates of the natural world, its vastness and beauty, ultimately exemplifies larger themes and
In Joe Wilson’s Courtship, Lawson conveys Joe’s strong emotions by giving his heart a human characteristic. “And, my heart gave a jump.” The way that Lawson portrays his characters emotion is very visually helpful through the use of personification, allowing the audience to further understand and reinforce the image from the emotion that the composer creates. In the Drover’s Wife, Lawson uses personification to reflect the landscape; to reinforce the tone and dry typical Australian outback. “She-oaks ‘sighing’ on the creek bed”. This visual image also provides a little bit of relief to the ear from the dry tone in the eye in the view.
Creating a grave and planting a tree requires the same action, digging a hole. The first stanza of the poem introduces a person, the narrator, digging “hole, laying you into it, carefully packing the soil”. This refers to both planting a tree, and burying a man. The weather is dark and cold which introduces a sad and harsh tone to the poem. The narrator than continues describes a tradition in Sicily, where planting of a tree represents the birth of a child, because the earth has "one more life to bear".
An artwork called “Summer Snowballs” (2002) captures the significance of the audience’s reaction as well as the transience of the natural materials used to create the work (e.g. - wool, wheat, cow hair, pine cones and berries). These encased materials convey the nature and extent Goldsworthy went to. As it is an environmental piece, it symbolises Goldsworthy’s culture and passion for art. It also is a representation of the human interaction with the environment along with the nature of life.
There are many aspects between the monster and Victor, but in many ways, are different. The monster enjoys these same pleasures of nature while he is in his emotional exile. He chose to stay in the wilderness while becoming acquainted with humans. The wilderness around him “was enough to maintain his spirits, even through the persecution.” Just as it did for Victor, nature is able to hold the monster together through his struggles. This relationship for nature is shared most ardently between these two.
When he felt he had the right image he would then project the slide onto a canvas and pencil in both lines and details. The reason why Goings was so amazingly talented is because he could paint the photograph with such profound detail that the audience would be able to see detail that they would typically not be able to see in reality. "My paintings are about light, about the way things look in their environment and especially about how things look painted. Form, color and space are at the whim of reality, their discovery and organization is the assignment of the realist painter." The painting called Ralphs Diner (1982) is a great example of the vivid detail he used with light color and texture.
