For this assignment I’ve picked Georgia O’Keeffe “Banana Flower” to utilize. The artist Georgia O’Keeffe used charcoal and black chalk for this drawing. She uses a style named metal point in the drawing which is a mode of drawing that is with a descriptive representation of a thing. It is seen through outline or contour drawing which with charcoal makes it much easier to give a sense of volumetric to the drawing. They was using natural chalk which derived from red ocher hematite, white soapstone, and black carbonaceous shale. They were fitted into holders and shaved to a point for drawing. The charcoal were made into charcoal sticks which were burnt wood that comes from hardwood especially vines. They could be either hard or soft, sharpened

The above passage taken from the play A Raisin In The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry between Mama and her son Walter shows how the author can address many themes of the play in one scene or even just a few lines; She addresses such themes as dreams, prejudice, and family. Mama is the head of the household where she lives with her son Walter and wife Ruth with their son Travis along with Walter’s sister Beneatha or Bennie as some like to call her. The passage tells the reader that Mama went out and did something to destroy one of Walter’s dreams. Mama explains that she did what she did to save her family from falling apart which she thought it was because everyone was yelling at each other and saying how much they hated each other wishing they were dead.
Drawing – According to the Oxford Dictionary drawing is, “A picture or diagram made with a pencil, pen, or crayon rather than paint.” In this study a drawing is a series of marks that compose a composition done with pencil and charcoal.

The main driving element in William Morris’s life has been the nature around him and the houses he lived in. The most prominent influence was the Kelmscott Manor. Therefore, I chose to go with Kelmscott Manor’s layout plan that exhibits the “inspirational garden “ that led to most of his design decisions, a map that depicts the pockets in the manor and how Morris was inspired by it. In addition to this, an original drawing of the Kelmscott Manor’s exterior that depicts how the manor amalgamated within the garden. To reinforce this, I picked a watercolor of the Kelmscott Manor and a photo that captivates the various perspectives of the garden in the manor. Moving on to his designs that interprets his love for nature I picked up the very first of his wallpaper design of the trellis that has a very naturalistic touch to it with the vines which seemed to be an extension of the “inspiration garden” on to the paper. Also chose one of the wallpapers he designed during the middle of his lifetime and one of his last designs as well. The underlying concept behind picking those was to outline the consistency in his design concept throughout his life. William Morris was a poet , whose poetry and compositions were also inspired by nature, and to depict his poetry in form of naturalism concept I picked a stance from one of his compositions that talks about forest, flora and fauna which directly ties to his underlying concept. Also the compositions he wrote always had engraved borders which was ...
Even though I draw like a four-year-old. In my first picture I drew Antigone and Ismene’s bedroom for the first scene. The rectangle is the window Antigone climbs through when she is about to go and bury her brother. The brown vanity is where Ismene was when Antigone asks her to come and help. In front of the Vanity is a chair and I used brown, because I feel like these things would be wooden. On the vanity there is a hair brush, and I tried to make it look like old copper. Because the ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper, silver and wood for hair brushes. The bed is the color it is because of a picture I used in my scenic imagery. The bed is made from red wood, and if I could draw better, it would have rounded pillows that surround the whole bed.
This is an image that I think of when I consider Japanese culture. They love gardens like this and you see similar images often when considering their culture. It is difficult to tell for sure, but the people in the distance appear to be dressed up. It is as though they have put on their best clothes to step out and enjoy this relaxing setting. I believe that this print is successful at capturing a moment in the mid 1800’s very well. It causes me to sense and experience what the artist was trying to capture. This print seems to conform to the formal theory of art. The print has only images of each object. None of them are particularly detailed or real to life but they do a very good job of organizing and describing the basic elements of the scene. It uses similar colors, shapes, and lines to those one might find in this garden in

My picture contrasts the dark, sharp, menacing objects with the light, calm, serenity of the hand. Using Molly Bang’s ten principles, I was able to depict this evil and suspenseful moment from the story, "Sleeping Beauty." Molly Bang’s ten principles teach us how to illustrate moments from stories or poems with abstract shapes and basic colors. By applying these principles, any emotion can be expressed.
One of the first ideas mentioned in this play, A Raisin In the Sun, is about money. The Younger's end up with no money because of Walter's obsession with it. When Walter decides not to take the extra money he is offered it helps prove Hansberry's theme. Her theme is that money can't buy happiness. This can be seen in Walter's actions throughout the play.
The author uses kinaesthetic and visual imagery to describe the cell throughout the poem. The imagery is heavily tied with figurative language. The first visual imagery found in the poem is the comparison to a flower. The author first beseeches the reader to “look objectively”, and the reader will find that the cancer cell is comparable in its beauty to a flower.
The Flowers By Alice Walker Written in the 1970's The Flowers is set in the deep south of America and is about Myop, a small 10-year old African American girl who explores the grounds in which she lives. Walker explores how Myop reacts in different situations. She writes from a third person perspective of Myop's exploration. In the first two paragraph Walker clearly emphasises Myop's purity and young innocence.
The poem "Girl" by author Jamaica Kincaid shows love and family togetherness by creating microcosmic images of the way mothers raise their children in order to survive. Upon closer examination, the reader sees that the text is a string of images in Westerner Caribbean family practices.
...project. It might seem repetitive, but everything that was put into this project was purposely done to lead up to a look of reality and fantasy, which is why charcoal was used.
