Faith Ringgold, “Tar Beach” quilt displays different features of a composite view. Observing the gentlemen in the red chair eye and the girl hovering under the George Washington bridge is in the frontal position of the quilt. In contrast, everything else appears to be in the profile position. Nevertheless, the quilt looks like it is in the relative size by means of the building in the posterior to give that distant look in the
In the Wood’s painting, it shows a wider scale of the town while in the N.C. Wyeth’s illustration it shows a close up of Paul Revere galloping by on a horse alarming the people in the
...rough their thoughts. The settings in these two stories act as more than simply a backdrop for a tale, they are used "to create meaning, just as painters include backgrounds and objects to render ideas" (Roberts 255).

Along the far left bank you see a single brick red chimney with a low roof as light wafts of smoke drift toward the left. In the bottom right corner, we see a bit of the bank the perspective is from and bits of grass are also leaning to the left, so one is given the picture of a nice day with at least slight breeze. Towards the center of the painting, you can see large boulders, smoothed, rising out of the river. Far into the distance, past the bank of the river, onto a higher level of the valley area, you see small gathers specks and shapes that represents a small mountain village.
As an example, the story starts with Teddy looking out the window. As he watches from inside in the attic, “rain fell with such violence that great, pulsating sheets of water seemed to hang suspended between earth and sky… Raindrops roll like beads of quicksilver down the glass of the high, diamond-shaped window” (Nowlan 1). This quote shows how one can see how at peace Teddy seems to be, supporting the idea that the attic is a safe haven where he can relax and not worry about anything because it is where Teddy made his Kingdom. In that case, the reader understands that the attic represents an escape from reality for Teddy to live temporarily in his dream place. Additionally, the author also employed imagery to describe Teddy’s imaginary world. Teddy turned away from the window and sees “the centre of the room [where] stood a fort and a palace, painstakingly constructed from corrugated cardboard cartons. These were surrounded by humbler dwellings made from matchboxes and the covers of exercise books. The streets and alleys were full of nobles, peasants and soldiers, their two-dimensional bodies scissored from paper, theirs faces and clothing drawn in crayon and lead pencil. From turreted roof of the palace, hung a green, white and gold tri-colour, the flag of the Kingdom of Upalia” (Nowlan 1). In this quote, one can see how much effort Teddy has put into building his
An artwork will consist of different elements that artists bring together to create different forms of art from paintings, sculptures, movies and more. These elements make up what a viewer sees and to help them understand. In the painting Twilight in the Wilderness created by Frederic Edwin Church in 1860 on page 106, a landscape depicting a sun setting behind rows of mountains is seen. In this painting, Church used specific elements to draw the viewer’s attention directly to the middle of the painting that consisted of the sun. Church primarily uses contrast to attract attention, but it is the different aspects of contrast that he uses that makes the painting come together. In Twilight in the Wilderness, Church uses color, rhythm, and focal
I found many of these quilts to carry the thought of love with them. They all represent people who are missed. One of the quilts that I observed had many meanings to it. It had pictures that meant believing in Jesus. They had a picture of a broken heart.
Hemphill uses detailed imagery in his poem to describe what the background of his family photos look like. An example of this is in stanza 2.
The differing types of space in each image help the viewer observe the masterpiece from the view intended by the artist. Dabbling Ducks has a limited amount of area surrounding the ducks, however you can still decipher from the environment that they are near the side of a river or stream because there is a reflection of the bank near the edges of the painting. Doves and Olive Branch shows linear perspective when looking at the trees and hills in the background because as the hills recede from the sun, the trees get less and less detailed until they reach the vanishing point where you can no longer see individual trees on the hills. Swan Lake also shows linear perspective when looking at the content behind the swan because as you go farther down the lake, the water and the surrounding trees and rocks diminish until they reach the vanishing point of blue. The Height of Freedom exhibits atmospheric perspective because the eagle is larger and more detailed on the painting, showing it is closer than the background, which is smaller and less
The Cover Art number five speaks about Traveling Companions Caroline and her fathers that are unknown guests in both the city and Forest.

...motional for the narrator. The image depicted here is that the narrator is observing, and trying to understand, his new guest. During the drawing of the Cathedral, the narrator refuses to open his eyes, so that he can better understand the viewpoint of Robert. This empathic characteristic of the narrator was not present in the beginning of the story, and has been developed through his interaction with Robert.
Verano used imagery in this book to help the readers understand what all of this looks like. She says “ It covered the neighborhood, but not the fields behind the house, which are still green. And it doesn't sparkle. Turns out it's not snow but cottonwood fluff.” This gave me an image of what the cottonwood actually looked like. She wants to give an idea about Paige's feelings and so that the reader can know what she is going through and it's like you're stepping into the characters shoes. She wants the readers to have an escape from reality and feel like you're IN her book, like your Page and YOU'RE going through what she
A beautiful sun rises over the beach, casting gold and orange on to dark clouds and over the dark ocean. This is a moment many of us sleep through. Mission Beach Sunrise I by Graham Nickson and was finished in 2003 and captures one of the many gorgeous moments that we miss daily. Although the painting is smaller, the photo provided on the internet is very small; hence the picture is fuzzy because it was blown up. The painting is based off of a sunrise from Mission Beach in Australia. Mission Beach Sunrise I is very beautiful in that it captures natural beauty, a moment that passes us by so very often is now captured forever. Even though this may be a cliché and common subject, Graham Nickson captures beauty and makes it memorable in a way most
“Bill, Jr.,” Mr. Summers said, and Billy, his face red and his feet overlarge, near knocked the box over as he got a paper out. (5) The author visually described the facial expression of Bill Jr.in the quote. In the beginning Shirley Jackson stated that it was clear and sunny.” (1) The setting of the story was an example of imagery also. It brought about clear contrast to the deadly end of the story where Tessie is stored by the other villagers. Imagery was shown through the traditional black box of the village to. “The black box grew shabbier each year by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained”. (2) Shabbier, and splintered simplify that the box was in bad condition and had lack of care. Jackson use of imagery gives the readers a clear description of reactions that happened throughout the story.
In his painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, Bruegel uses the motif of perspective to convey the notion that people become so absorbed in their everyday lives that they don’t notice what is happening around them. The plowman is an example of the perspective of the painting. The plowman is located in the center of the painting. Viewer’s eyes are drawn to the plowman because he is wearing a bright red shirt which contrasts the neutral colors around him. His head is looking down towards the field, and not paying attention to anything else around him. Another example of the perspective is the shepherd. The shepherd is resting his head on his crook, while the sheep graze around him. There are light colors around the shepherd and he is also located in the center of the painting. Another example of how Bruegel uses
