Nurture is the nature of parenthood. It is the pinnacle concept that a human can grasp towards interacting with their offsprings. This is furthermore emphasized to mothers, who fulfill the psychological, emotional, and physical needs of their child in order for them to grow healthy and strong. As such, mothers also need a set of excellent qualities and skills to live by for the sake of their child’s development, showing their unconditional love that makes them more amazing. There is no set of rules to follow step by step to become a good mother. Although the qualities of being a mother can predetermine the level of their virtue, being a good mother overall withholds its complexity since it is very subjective. Its concept may be affected environmentally …show more content…
From its physical characteristics, the form of its shape is three-dimensional constructed with organic and curvaceous stroke of lines. The composition of the painting has consistent patterns of triangular shape, such as from the top of her head to her shoulders and an hourglass pattern of her dress, which made the painting stable. Additionally, circular patterns are present as well like the colouring of the background, the accessories she’s wearing and the brown circular patches on her clothes. Including the attention to details, the dress itself steals the spotlight due to the scale of it and that it is directly at the center of the painting. The colours are split-complementary as it is consistent of having hues of blues, violets, and yellows accompanied by classic black and antique white for elegance as well a tiny bit of shaded red. Under those circumstances, the value of the painting is balanced because of the contrasting shades and tints being split open by Eleanor and the attention slides slowly to her son. With a subtle lighting, it highlighted the shiny and smooth texture of her clothing and her jewellery. In essence, the iconography of this painting revolves around the ideal look of the Renaissance with a mix of religious context as the colouring behind her head makes her look like she has a halo. Not only that, the connection between her and her son is portrayed minimally as her appearance overwhelms it greatly and there’s less physical interaction with one another, which is the total opposite of the artwork that been previously talked
Contextual Theory: This painting depicts a portrait of life during the late 1800’s. The women’s clothing and hair style represent that era. Gorgeous landscape and a leisurely moment are captured by the artist in this work of
The work depicts a family in plain clothing enclosed in a simple solitary room with a fading fire amidst the dark shadows of the background and another light source that extends from beyond the scope of the canvas. At first glance the influences of Caravaggio and Rembrandt are apparent. Their faces are neither, sad, sullen, angry, or joyful, but rather their emotional expression is plain and uncomplicated, adding a sense of timelessness to the painting. As in the description (20-34) of the piece which states; “It reflects 17th Century social theory, which celebrated the natural virtue of those that worked the soil”, (p. 609). The idea of portraying a classic simple lifestyle is a refreshing one and a concept which will reoccur in other works of the Baroque period.
The piece shows Marie posing with her three children, the reason for this painting was to create a public message depicting her as more than just elegance and put her on the same level as the general public. Because the painting was meant for the eyes of the general public the painting is rather bland and lacks detail. Instead of Marie looking down on the population showing off her lavish and extravagant items she has just her children attempting to depict herself as a regular mother just like every other female raising children. There is very little details in the paint except for the empty baby carriage which was most likely only included to honor the death of one of her children at a young
The painting depicts a mother and her four children, who are all leaning on her as she looks down solemnly, her tired, despondent expression suggests she felt trapped in her roles as being a mother and a wife. The woman and her children are clearly the focal point of the artwork as the bright colours used to paint them stand out impeccably against the dull, lifeless colours of the background. This painting appears to be centred around the ideology that women are home-keepers, whose main role is to satisfy and assist her husband while simultaneously minding the children and keeping the home tidy and ready for his return. The social consequences of this artwork could have been that the woman could have been berated for not taking pleasure out of being a mother and raising her children, as a woman should. She could have been made redundant as her husband may have felt as though she is no longer useful if she couldn’t adequately adhere to her roles as a mother and a
The mother-infant bond is the familiarity and attachment a mother forms with her offspring. These helpless babies are reliant on their mother’s nurture for survival. This dependence reaches farther than a physiological need. Infants rely on their mothers for a wide variety of demands. The mother-infant bond is critical to maximizing the fitness of each individual, as well as the growth of the species.
Her art gives you the value of color and dimension. Esteves use different prospect to create her image of her style of house she imagines. However, this painting make me feel as if I can interpret her viewpoint with my own perspective and have that owe it’s not just a house feeling. But, what I value most about this piece is that Esteves painting is just not a house, she paints an unusual house that has very rare distinguish features that if you don’t analyze it properly you would miss some of the astonishing details she tries to incorporate. Also, I like that this painting because of the tulips, the arrangement of the tulips appears to be very distinctive. All in all, what I learn is how to print and dye on silk, and how when you put all form of art together it becomes this beautiful
The theme can be generally recognized in this piece through color, space, and especially through use of light. The colors used in this piece are mostly calm toned, whereas the robes and shawls worn are pale blues, corals, and beiges. There are however, some harsh colored objects such as Mary’s navy blue shaul and deep coral gown, as well as Christ’s coral necklace that stand out from the rest of the colors. Mary’s veil and the angel on the lefts’ hair are translucent in certain streams of light coming from the windows throughout the room. The artists suggests that the light is dedicated not to represent the divine but to rather represent a more natural juxtaposition on the piece. The space that the characters stand in is fully used by the subjects but also has a very interesting doorway with heightened perspecti...
This painting consists of regular lines as well as implied lines. Some of the regular lines that have been included are flowing, curved lines, such as the Earth that the woman is sitting on top of. Additionally, the background is made of small scenes that have been outlined by a dotted line, which places emphasis on the scenes. Besides regular and visible lines, there are a few implied lines in this painting. For instance, the woman's eyes are looking forward, so there is an implied line to the audience. Additionally, another implied line would be the woman's right arm, which is pointed towards her headpiece, while her left arm is pointed towards the earth. Nonetheless, this painting is not intense; although it does have splashes of color, this painting does not have a bright saturation. Instead, this painting is slightly dull, which makes this painting appear vintage. Additionally, since this background is a dark color, it makes the rest of painting, especially the headpiece, stand out. Besides colors and lines, even though this is a painting and there is no physical texture, there is invented texture. Upon viewing this painting, underneath the earth where the woman is sitting on, there are roots as well as grass, which give texture and feeling to the painting. In the end, this painting consists of several elements of composition, which Heffernan has done a wonderful job
He is known how to combine three main colors and balance it to his artwork, green tone combined with red tone on her clothes represent that a woman is one of a lower class in society at this time, brown tone is a background color bring to viewer a heavy feeling, and this color was emphasized to face of the woman a little bit of sadness, a little bit of hopelessness in her life and her children. In this artwork, he used a rectangular shape of a wall and circle shapes for a child. They both give a viewer feeling about pressure and straitened for women. If we are noticing that in this artwork has leading lines. This line comes from three of her kids, it is creating a triangle.
Having a stable parental foundation is crucial in raising a healthy child. Furthermore, deciding on the parenting style of preference also plays a significant factor in ensuring the development of a flourishing child. Certainly there were flaws in my parent’s parenting methods, having made both positive and negative influences in my progression through my childhood. With the intentions of becoming a parent in the near future I hope I can one day provide my children with the same healthy experience that my own father and mother have.
It differs greatly, in its portrayal of mothers, from Le Brun’s Self-portrait with her Daughter and Cassatt’s artworks. Behind Marie Antoinette, you see a jewelry cabinet, off to the right of the canvas. This illustrates that, although she is with her children, she finds treasure within her own materialistic objects. Furthermore, her expression lacks emotion as she holds the child loosely within her arms. The child looks off, barely acknowledging its mother, who is holding him. Next, the child, on the far right of the canvas, reveals an empty cradle, alluding to a child who has died. Again, Marie seems unfazed or simply chooses not to acknowledge the boy’s actions. Furthermore, the young girl, on the right of the canvas, clings on to her mother as she lovingly looks up to her mother. Marie holds a wry smile, appearing somewhat annoyed or displeased. The color scheme is dark, but Le Brun utilizes contrast to emphasize the royal family. However, it only works to further expose the detached relationship between a Marie and her children. According to the lecture, “To counter people’s hatred of the queen and their criticisms of her as a bad (even a degenerate) mother, Vigée Le Brun was commissioned to paint this portrait of Marie Antoinette and her children” (Gartrell). Sadly, the painting was
In 1874, Francis Galton said, “Nature is all that a man brings with him into the world; nurture is every influence that affects him after his birth”. The human body contains millions upon millions of cells and each of these cells contains hereditary information and DNA. However, there is no proof that the information carried in these genes predetermines the way in which we behave. I believe it is our life experiences and what we see and are told that shape the way in which we behave. Therefore, it appears to me that nurturing plays a far more governing and dominant role in a human being’s development rather than nature.
Children are the future of the world and need to be nurtured and educated in the best conditions. Thus, parenting is one of the most challenging and admirable responsibilities that people can experience. Parenting plays important roles in the development of children’s characteristics. Some people nurture children depending on their own ways. Others get advice from friends or books. Parenting can be divided into three groups: authoritative, permissive, and democratic parenting.
In the study of child development, nature and nurture are two essential concepts that immensely influence future abilities and characteristics of developing children. Nature refers to the genetically obtained characteristics and abilities that influence development while nurture refers to the surrounding environmental conditions that influence development. Without one or the other, a child may not develop some important skills, such as communication and walking. The roles of physiological and psychological needs in a person’s life are also crucial for developing children. Humanistic psychologist, Abraham Maslow, suggested that humans don’t only aim towards survival, but also aim towards self-actualization (Rathus, P. 94).
Good parental care is important in raising a well disciplined and behaved child. Parenting is one of the most essential and important skills that people must have before they bring a child into this world, unfortunately some people do not have this skill. As a result, badly behaved children are raised, and those children grow up without any parenting skills also. The quality of parenting that a child receives is a very important factor in deciding how behaved and successful the child will be in the future. There is a direct correlation with the problems of the parents while raising children to how children are emotionally and physically developed will be in the long run.
