On the right of the wall is part of a very common looking blue door. The wall is small enough to fit his bed stuck to the wall and not cross the door on the right. The wall is slightly tilted inward; this wall is not a mistake because his other paintings and letters show that this was the yellow house which was slant at an angle. This wall has two portraits at the very top which slightly hide out from the top of the painting. These portraits are equidistant and their frames are the same and wooden.
A comparison of Japanese and Australian Housing Japanese and Australian homes are greatly different; Japanese style and design is minimalistic and delicate compared to Australian homes which are quite spacious yet many are ‘cluttered’ with furniture when compared with the Japanese styles. The styles, design, size, construction and the traditions of the two are quite dissimilar. All civilizations use the materials in their building construction which are the most common. In the case of Western houses – which were influenced by European architecture, stone seemed the logical building material; in Japan with its vast forests it was wood. The architecture of Japan is a response to its natural environment: its weather, its geography and its harmony
How does Hill create atmosphere with her description of Eel Marsh House? Hill creates atmosphere with her description of EMH largely with the descriptions given by Kipps. Because the reader is following Kipps’ descriptions, our opinions of the house and the setting change as his do, thereby involving the reader successfully. Initially, the house is a safe place for Kipps, and a place where he feels much better than in the ‘oppressive fog’ of London; his first description of EMH is ‘gaunt, but handsome’, which is very optimistic. Hill further builds up a calm atmosphere by expressing Kipps’ admiration of the house, with the quotes ‘I rather liked this lonely spot’ and his description ‘isolated, uncompromising, but also…handsome’.
The Chapel uses wood as its main supporting material, while the tower uses stonework. The stonework is very detailed and carefully crafted in the tower, while the wooded beams in the Chapel are not as detail oriented. The detail in construction is the main difference between the two spaces. The Chapel is very pleasing to view, but it could be considered a bit drab or boring. The stonework within the tower is very aesthetically pleasing and provides a sense of time and careful preparation.
It is necessary to note the juxtaposition of the setting. Possessions such as ‘ornamental fibre light’ and a ‘telephone’ on the ‘room divider shelf unit’ isn’t considered posh, as Beverly thinks. There is a ‘leather three piece suite’, an ‘onyx coffee table’ and ‘sheepskin rug’; which clashes with the normal household furniture. This is symbolic of Beverly and Laurence, consequently establishing their characters as aspirational middle class. Therefore, this gives the idea that through Beverly and Laurence’s possessions, Leigh is mocking stereotypes like them from the 70’s.
For example, “The cloth merchant, the stonecutter, the wheelwright, and the carpenter each had himself depicted in a medallion in the lower part of the window donated by his guild, as close as possible, as it were, to future client” as a type of “advertisement” encouraging their own economic growth. The growth of the size of a church or cathedral came from a different, very social, aspect of medieval life. After the construction of a new cathedral the people of a city nearby suddenly felt driven to build something bigger, and better than that of the neighboring cities or even cities that were dozens of miles away. This stemmed from a very primitive desire to break records causing an epidemic of cathedrals to break out across medieval Europe. So not only were the “Bourgeois civic pride, the desire to conquer new worlds, and merchants' vexed souls” all contributing to the success of the cathedral crusade, The Church was also encouraging all of these indulgences of fabric to help build God’s House in fact “the Christian church, by contrast, demanded that her faithful contribute to the constructions of churches large enough for the populace to have access.” From this it is safe to say that this cathedral construction boom originating from very selfish points of trying to outdo their fellow Christians was embraced by the church as a way to gain support, by political figures as a place to meet and discuss and take care of business
At first glance, Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street and John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men seem like very different books. Where Of Mice and Men is considered a classic, The House on Mango Street is very modern. However, underneath the surface are some key similarities such as focus on introspection and de-emphasis on events in plot. The most obvious significant difference between The House on Mango Street and Of Mice and Men is format/structure. While Of Mice and Men is not exactly the most conventionally structured book ever published, The House on Mango Street features a very unique vignette format, with short, seemingly inconsequential chapters that don’t directly connect to each other.
Marcel Duchamp Year 9 Visual Arts Assessment Task By Darcy Imrie 9VA1 The ideal traditional art piece was something to be looked at, a piece that was clearly what it was, without needing to be dissected the traditional art was about form and function, it had a clear form like a painting of a house or it was functional like an ornate chair, but Duchamp and many artists after him changed the way we look at art, from pleasing the eye to interpreting what the artist’s motives were. Duchamp created art pieces that were very much influenced by Futurism such as Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2. Though other movements like Dada and Surrealism influenced Duchamp’s artworks as well, like Fountain and L.H.O.O.Q. most of these artworks influenced other artists, and in turn and created more love of what was Duchamp’s art. Above Right: Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2, Marcel Duchamp, 1912, oil on canvas 147cm X 89cm.
This aspiration manifested itself most prominently in their demand for housing infrastructure, built with modern age planning, design, and latest infrastructure: houses that could symbolize the United States great power stature and their own triumph in being a part of this transition. Meanwhile the Congress announced special housing loans for returning war veterans where they could get loans on zero down-payment and little mortgage. Suddenly there was a great boom in the demand of urban housing, compared to which the available apartments fell drastically short (Baxandall and Ewen, 2000). Millions of war veterans and citizens were homeless or living in makeshift houses looking expectedly upon government to provide them with affordable houses (Jackson. 1985).
The small white and turquoise mosaic made the walls seem busy. Then there is the new grey hardwood flooring, which is so great but does not really match up with the maroon and the turquoise. Then there is the small passage, which two people
