Skecthing Gustave Calliebotte’s Paris Street; Rainy Day
I can smell the rain on my jacket as my fingers numbly make their way across the pad, trying their best to capture an instant in time on a piece of yellow, college-ruled, notebook paper, despite my now apparent lack of artistic ability. As I am watching the scene unfold, I hardly notice the people walking around me, gazing at the same thing I am, before they move on. Cuddling under an umbrella, a man and his wife are casually strolling through the light fog. Their attention is caught by something off to their right, so he does not notice when his top hat is almost bumped to one side by the umbrella as another pedestrian tries to pass on the narrow sidewalk. Further off in the distance, several other sets of people can be seen composedly walking through the gentle mist of rain. It seems as though they are not even aware of the weather as they make their way from shop to shop, content on this comfortable evening. To my left, a couple of gentlemen are discussing their affairs as they move past a horse-drawn carriage. The pudd...
Most people awake to a daily routine, in which they keep eyes dazed staring at the pavement they walk on yet so easily ignore. Usually, these same people go about their business with no more than a passing glance towards their fellow man. However, there is an enigmatic few that are more than mere pawns in the game of existence. They are passionate spectators who take in their surroundings with every sense. They rejoice in the vastness of the electric crowd and become one with it. By all means, these few can be called ‘idle city men’ or, according to Charles Baudelaire’s 1863 essay “The Painter of Modern Life”, they are flâneurs. I believe a worthy example of a man such as this, is the persona in Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself”. He is a flâneur in all ways but one.
In The short story There will come soft rains the author sets the mood of the passage by describing the readers about how if you looked outside at night the city would glow a radiation green and amongst
It appears Pechstein paints the background with bright, dramatic shades of blue, red, and yellow this is the way he sees his subject in dramatic lighting. This style is different in the Madonna and Child, while Pechstein's showing his loose brush strokes with a big brush when the Madonna and Child use of brush strokes are almost none existent judging how realistic the style is in the painting. Pechstein captures a moment in time with gestures of how the ballerinas stand. The figures look as if they might have been moving while the artist was creating this painting it would have been difficult to fine tune this painting as much as the Madonna and Child. Pechstein's uses paint almost straight from the tube because the pigment is so bright that it is different in comparison to the Madonna and Child where the painting is more mixed with other colors to create that natural glowing flesh tones of the skin. Pechstein captured the stance of the ballerinas and the overall shape of their bodies in this painting. At the beginning of the 1912 expressions, contemporary movement artist stopped caring as much in defining the subject in the art as if it were a photograph. In the Madonna and Child picture, the artist painted every fold down to the glowing roles of the skin of the baby. The details of both paintings had a lot to do with the time they were living during the 1500s when the art crowd loved realistic art with religious subjects a big difference compared to the year 1912 when the art crowd enjoyed the expressionistic style with bold, bright colors. The expressionistic style of painting is apples and oranges compared to the realistic style of the Madonna and Child. In 1912 the art crowd might have been tired of looking at the same practical
The relationship you have with others often has a direct effect on the basis of your very own personal identity. In the essay "On The Rainy River," the author Tim O'Brien tells about his experiences and how his relationship with a single person had effected his life so dramatically. It is hard for anyone to rely fully on their own personal experiences when there are so many other people out there with different experiences of their own. Sometimes it take the experiences and knowledge of others to help you learn and build from them to help form your own personal identity. In the essay, O'Brien speaks about his experiences with a man by the name of Elroy Berdahl, the owner of the fishing lodge that O'Brien stays at while on how journey to find himself. The experiences O'Brien has while there helps him to open his mind and realize what his true personal identity was. It gives you a sense than our own personal identities are built on the relationships we have with others. There are many influence out there such as our family and friends. Sometimes even groups of people such as others of our nationality and religion have a space in building our personal identities.
Dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder, is a disorder in which an individual has the presence of one or more personality states. These personality states each have their own distinct names, attitudes, identities and self-images within an individual’s conscious awareness. At least two of the personalities take control of the affected person’s behavior. Dissociation is defined as the disruption of the normal integrative process of consciousness, perception, memory and identity, which define selfhood (Pias, 2009). Symptoms of dissociation includes amnesia, depersonalization, identity confusion, age regression, hearing internal voices, and identity alteration (). Dissociative identity disorder is believed to result from the splitting of conscious awareness and control of ones thoughts, feelings, memories and mental components as a response to traumatic experiences that was unacceptable to the individual. It indicates a broken personality with the absence of a clear and comprehensive identity (Pias, 2006).
..., and to my eye are very unrealistic. While looking at the faces of Madonna and Child we can notice unreal face gestures that appear to show the sadness of the pictured models. Madonna and Child and its details are clearly and noticeably organized and are very appealing to the inspecting human eye. As a XIV centaury artist Jacopo del Casentino, in my opinion did a great job by presenting own view of Mother and Child that is outstanding and clearly understandable by the viewer. It is like 700 years old message that viewers in the XXI century are able to decode and understand. I am very happy that I have that great chance of learning something new as well the possibility of being in the museum in person and option of appreciating art within own eyes was a great experience that I would recommend to anybody who is seeking for the great entertainment with the culture.
...o be the cause of chronic posttraumatic psychopathology. There are several factories that contribute to this complex splitting of personalities. Over whelming stress coinciding with the ability to separate ones memories, identity, and perception from our conscious awareness, abnormal psychological development, and insufficient protection and love as a child ( Pais, 2009 p 1). It is still not clear how these lead to DID. Dissociative identity disorder tends to manifest in early childhood and arises during adolescences due to the protective reaction to server childhood trauma usually sexual abuse. There have been numerous studies on the early severe abuse and dissociative disorder. It is believed that these identities are invented due to a unified self-identity failed to form due to the trauma especially if the trauma occurred before the age of five ( Pais, 2009 p2).
This disorder was first reported by Eberhardt Gmelin ("A history of"). The original name Gmelin was ‘Exchanged personality” (“A history of”). It was later on that it took on the name Multiple Personality disorder. In his first case the woman was 20 years-old and lived in Stuttgart (“A history of”). The woman’s’ alters were a French and...
In “Swimmers” by John Cheever, the negative changes in the narrator’s surroundings as he journeyed along the river allowed him to leave his façade and reconnect with reality. For example, when Neddy leaves the gazebo at the Levy’s house and analyzes his surroundings, he says, “The force of the wind had stripped a maple of its red and yellow leaves and scattered them over the grass and the water” (Cheever 730). The description of falling leaves compared to the description of a bright, summer day presented at the beginning of the story shows that a significant amount of time has passed since then. This reveals to the reader that Neddy is not truly aware of his surroundings because from his perspective, it seems as if only a few hours have passed
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is a disorder in which two or more distinct identities alternate in controlling a person’s consciousness and behavior (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2011). If not diagnosed and treated in the early stages of development the alter personalities may begin to fight for control of the body (Pica, 1999). This may occur because the alternate personalities have become an equal part of the person and every alter cannot always be in control. Although DID is more frequently diagnosed in the late teens and early adult years, most diagnoses occur 5-10 years after the onset of symptoms (Slogar, 2011). Moreover, DID appears to be more prevalent in females, those who have a close relative who have DID, and generally occurs during the developmentally sensitive stages of childhood.
It was a hot summer day, the sun floundering every terrace with its burning waves. I was with Sam, at his terrace, playing with those plastic tubes that spread water everywhere as we squeeze them. It was among the happiest moments of my summer vacation, which was not that long, for it was only two Sundays a month, the rest was at the daunting and exhausting mill of my master or patron.
I am comparing it to Edouard Manet’s, The Railway, created in 1873 on oil on canvas found at the National Gallery of Art. Cassatt’s painting shows the loving relationship between a mother and a child. The visual of the mother and child contrasts with the flattened patterning of the wallpaper and the rug. Her style of painting is owed to the pastel work and compositional devices of Degas (Kleiner), she found it life-changing as she became an influential Impressionist. Children and motherhood were her principal subjects, skillfully painted with simplicity, vigorous brushwork and luminescent color. Manet's painting is a colorful and charming scene of a woman with a little girl who looks down with interest onto the newly created railway lines of Paris during the 1870’s. It offers no story and no clear relationship between its figures. It's like a sight someone passing by might notice, and then forget. The smoke of a passing train obscures her view. It depicts the artist's alter ego constructing the very scene we are looking at, fusing the activity in the studio with that of the scene itself. It is, of course, not reality but an imagined scene in the Manet’s mind of the paintings own creation (National Gallery of Art). By making the girl a representation of himself, Manet communicates the masculine and feminine nature of the creative mind. The pictures are similar in that
Dissociative identity disorder (DID), formally and popularly known as multiple personality disorder was surrounded by controversy in its inception and still faces the doubts of many critics today. DID involves the presences of two or more personalities or alters in one individual. Its inclusion in the DSM-V formalized its realness and significance, paving the way for clinicians to assess, diagnose and offer treatment. The current paper aims to present an analytical overview of the methods for diagnosing and assessing the disorder, to examine the current treatment therapies and evaluate the availability of treatment resources within the local community.
Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) had it’s name changed back in the 1990’s. This disorder is a very odd disorder to some people and myself included. This isn’t just your normal mental disorder or medical problem, this is a different type of disorder that can be a little freaky if you really think about it. This disorder focuses on how people believe that patients with this disorder can have two or more different personalities. Vermetten’s writes “Dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more identities or personality states, each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and the self (DSM-IV-TR).”
Dissociative Identity Disorders is most commonly known as Multiple Personality Disorder and involves the presence of two or more different personalities. This is a rare disorder, being that there are fewer than 200,000 cases in the US a year. When being diagnosed with this disorder, a person will experience different personality types that may have their own name, personal background, or characteristics. Dissociative Identity Disorder comes in many different ways and some people may be worse than others. It can either ast a few minutes or could go on forever.
