In the painting “Jamestown Lifescape,”Keith Rocco uses specific details to expose the theme that work is essential to survival. Additionally, the painting shows that these colonists are literally building their society. For example, in the background, there are two buildings under construction and there is a man delivering bricks to the workers. This shows that these colonists are willing to work hard to build their community. This also shows that they are willing to go far away to get bricks. In conclusion the
The painting tells us how unjust Bingham felt the election was, it shows us that the other candidate used cheap tricks like buying voters and trying to influence voters before they voted instead of having a fair election. Bingham masterfully used this painting to express his feelings toward the unruly election he also used this to teach us many problems that needed to be resolved if we were to have reasonable
This essay was written to explain the differences between Wood’s painting and N.C. Wyeth’s 1922 illustration. The painting/illustration was inspired from a poem called Paul Revere’s Ride written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The image shows a written scene from the poem that describes Paul Revere’s ride through town as he alarmed the town’s folk. It’s an event that happened during the American Revolution. The comparison between the two images will include discussions about its viewpoints, shadows, scale, and other details that describe the picture.
This painting of the industrial revolution is very thought provoking, and causes a person to think about of what was happening during the industrial revolution. He shows the horrors of the factories and the serenity of the nature. He makes someone want to go back in time where things were peaceful, and there was just nature. Everything was in it’s own natural state and peaceful. This painting gave viewers a small glimpse into the past of the United States and the industrial revolution. Even though this picture showed a small glimpse of the past, a picture (or painting) is truly worth a thousand
“The painter's face curdled with scorn. "You think I'm proud of this daub?" he said. "You think this is my idea of what life really looks like?"”
I believe that the Norman Rockwell painting induces his audience to become visible to themselves as white in a politically progressive way by displaying nostalgic concepts that his audience can identify with as they relate to the white boy more than the black man.
I can’t unveil any more of the plot without destroying the readingpleasure, but there is one thing you should carry back in your mind as you read the book; the painting is the main element which most of the story circles round.
The painting called, “George Washington Crossing the Delaware” can be interpreted in many different ways. The main message this painting is showing is how the brave patriots crossed the Delaware. There are many other things that this painting also shows us. For example, in the back of the boat we see the patriots paddling and then in the front we see General Washington standing high and proud. We see him looking further down the sea. His strong posture shows us that General Washington is the leader and he is the one in charge. Also we see the patriots working hard. They seem to be in harsh conditions but they are still fighting on. This painting illustrates and shows how determined and fearless the patriots were.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an iconic place to see and learn some of the greatest art forms collected throughout history. From Modern Art to Renaissance Art, I was able to learn a lot from every single piece of art on display. Not all of the art consisted of paintings and portraits; there were moreover many meticulously crafted statues, pots and pans, and even canoes. It is important to note that art is never limited to one single form an element. Art is a piece of creativity expressed by brilliant minds to portray some form of story, emotion, or way of life. Thus, I have chosen four pieces of art: Asmat Spirit Canoe, Rush Hour, The Pardon in Brittany, and Woman in an Armchair. I chose these art forms, because they looked unique, creative,
Vincent van Gogh is considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, although he remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life.
Vincent Van Gogh, a post-impressionist painter, was born March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands and died July 29, 1890. His father was a minister, his mother was an artist, he had three sisters and two younger brothers. He seemed to be close to his brother, Theo. He had to move out when he was 15 because his family was poor, he had to get a job and could no longer go to school. He never got married because he always seemed to be drawn to women in trouble, thinking he could help them but he couldn’t. (Editors, 2017)

One of the aspects that has drawn my attention about this painting was the fight between the two men in the center. It was the only area in the painting that was brightest, since it seems like the two men are fighting in front of a sun, which suggests that they are the focal point in this painting. I also notice that the colors on the right side of the painting are much brighter than the left side of the painting, where the colors look much darker or toned down. However, I can still see a little bit of light peeping through the right side, which is actually coming from the fight between the two men. I also notice that the people in the painting are much larger than the two men in the center, and they’re strategically placed along the borders of the painting. Furthermore, each person in this painting has a very different body language and position. It actually looks as if they’re flying towards the outside of the painting because their faces are turned away from the fight, their bodies are drawn horizontally, and their arms and legs are almost at an upright position.
Most common people were hard working farm labors providing for the families. War was abundant and medicine was scarce. The art of this era reflects the hard lives people endured. For the common folks this lifestyle reflected their hardships throughout life. The emotionless faces, over masculine bodies reflected people’s struggles they went through just to survive.
When viewing this painting, it could be understood that the onlooker might first focus on the realistic right, lower corner of the canvas. The fruit and the corner of the table are clearly defined. In contrast to the non-descript somewhat blurry left corner of the canvas where the shapes and fruit are not easily recognizable. The added heaviness to the right corn...
"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.
