Homer is carried away by the sudden success, and tries to continue his work by destroying and recombining his baseball bat，antiques and so on. Unfortunately, he is totally rejected by the audience for all his later masterpieces are repetitive of the first piece.

Homer is totally discouraged, but luckily he soon get inspired by the artist Christo’s idea — “ do something big and Daring” . Finally Homer and Batt flood Springfield by opening all the fire hydrants and make Springfield another city like Venice. Everyone, concluding animals like Homer’s new conceptual artwork and live happily. Evaluation The Mom And Pop Art is a animated cartoon， which seems to be absurd. But I believe the well- designed plots are ironic to the social fact. Homer Simpson’s experience is quite similar to many things …show more content…
My first idea is quite similar to Marge’s earlier idea: “ I study art for years, I just don’t get that a ‘trash’ could be worth thousands of dollars.” What is interesting happened at that time. The art gallery owner tells Simpson that “ you become a professional artist!” , merely because that a man bought Simpson’s work. A transition from “ outsider artist ” to “ professional artist” is just accomplished by a deal. This is absurd. It is undeniable that some great artwork are made by accident. Homer do his first piece of art unconsciously. But that work does express human emotions and appreciated by another person. So，the barbecue kit is a quality piece of art. But that does not mean Homer is an artist who are always qualified to create
Gallery 19 of the Museum of Modern Art features Pop Art trailblazers of the early 1960s, ranging from Roy Lichtenstein’s “Girl with Ball” to Andy Warhol’s “Gold Marilyn Monroe.” Alongside these emblematic works of art, there hangs a more simplistic piece: a six foot square canvas with three yellow letters, entitled “OOF.” The work of art, created by Ed Ruscha in 1962, is a painting that leaves little room for subjective interpretation as does the majority of his work. Ruscha represented the culture in the 1960s through his contributions to the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art, efforts to redefine what it meant for a painting to be fine art, and interpretation of the Space Race.
Racism is displayed through Homer even though in truth the things he believes Muslims do are, nothing like most Muslims and their values. Throughout the episode, Homer makes many comical and idiotic attempts to prove that the Bashir’s family is up to something. At one point in the episode, Homer goes to Bashir’s home and talks to his mum. In this scene, Homer says “I heard somewhere your people are hospitable.” Mina (Bashir’s mum) replies “That is true. You may come in.” Homer then exclaims “Praised be Oliver!” Then Mina corrects “That’s Allah.” Finally, Homer says “Well, look it up in the Corona.” This exchange shows that Homer in truth actually knows nothing about Muslims. That scene is an example of malapropism. This causes the viewer laugh at the jokes and think how they might be like Homer and consider how much they actually understand about other religions and their beliefs. The director of this episode is extremely successful in portraying Homer as the antagonist to Bart’s cause and a stereotypical racist
It begins with Homer Sr. being embarrassed of his son and has no confidence in him whatsoever. “Sonny build a rocket? He doesn’t even know how to put the sprocket chain back on his bike when it slips off.” (pg. 40). This quote shows that Homer Sr. has no confidence in Homer that he can build rockets. This is an example of how Homer Sr. is condescending towards Homer and breaks his confidence. Homer Sr. loved Jim more than he did Homer. “I knew dad thought about Jim all the time, was telling people what a great football player he was, and how he was going to tear up the the world in football when he went to college.” This quote demonstrates that Homer knows his dad is loves Jim more than he does Homer. Homer Sr. talks about how proud he is of Jim and how he is a stellar football player but he never acknowledges Jim for his impressive rocket achievements. Homer Sr. believes that Homer should follow in his footsteps and work with the coal mine. “Mining’s in your blood, little man,” he shrugged. “I guess you’ll figure that out, sooner or later.” “I still want to work for Dr. von Braun.” He nodded. “We’ll see.” (pg. 185) Homer Sr. wanted Homer to follow the family business and join the mining business. However, Homer did not want to go this route, instead he wanting to pursue the rocket industry and work with Dr. Von Braun. As the novel was coming to an end, Homer Sr. became more supportive of Homer. He
The Country School is an example of Homer’s early works influenced by his time in the war. While it is an oil on canvass genre painting, Homer is remembered for his versatility in style and media he used. The painting can be found at the St. Louis Art Museum in the American Art gallery.
Homer is the star of the show, set out to be the typical father, husband, and a depiction of today’s “everyman” (Source 1). His character can be seen as a doubled sided coin where he can be the best father in the world and the next the worst parent in the world. We can see Homer as our own gluttony, since he hungers for all the things he can’t have which leads him to plot devious adventures and schemes to get what he wants
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
There are stereotypes of different people and beliefs throughout American's thinking. From early on we learn to associate certain cultural differences to certain individuals. The cartoon representations on The Simpsons are a perfect example of such associations. Each character from the long-running, prime time television show is an archetype of individuals in the American society. Homer, Lisa, Barney, and all the rest give us a look at what "typical" Americans should act like while, at the same time, critiquing their attitudes and behaviors. The Simpsons is not the average cartoon show. Although it features cute, animated people and many humorous situations it was not meant for children. This is how the show's writers can get away with such a complex stereotype for each character. Adults and in particular American adults will understand references made buy the characters, their actions and thought processes. When picked apart the main characters of the show, the Simpson family, each have their own Americanized attitudes, which when thrown together encompass the typical "nuclear" family. To set the scene for this example, picture a family of five, all doing their various daily activities: the little boy skateboarding around the neighborhood causing trouble, the little girl at school concentrating on her music, the mother and baby at the supermarket, and the father driving home from a hard days work at the plant. All of a sudden the viewer is in this famil...
Tim Burton is noted for many of his mysterious, suspenseful, and thrilling movies. His childhood has influenced the way he writes, screens and portrays movies to his public audience and fans. Four of these outstanding films are Edward Scissorhands, Frankenweenie, Corpse Bride, and Coraline. In these movies, and many of his others, Tim Burton uses a variety of cinematic techniques to portray and express feelings felt by the characters, set the moods, scenes, and the story. Tim Burton uses lighting, sound, and camera angles in order to create a coherent movie with amusing, suspenseful and tragic scenes.
The first painting analyzed was North Country Idyll by Arthur Bowen Davis. The focal point was the white naked woman. The white was used to bring her out and focus on the four actual colored males surrounding her. The woman appears to be blowing a kiss. There is use of stumato along with atmospheric perspective. There is excellent use of color for the setting. It is almost a life like painting. This painting has smooth brush strokes. The sailing ship is the focal point because of the bright blue with extravagant large sails. The painting is a dry textured flat paint. The painting is evenly balanced. When I look at this painting, it reminds me of settlers coming to a new world that is be founded by its beauty. It seems as if they swam from the ship.
I recently went to the DeYoung Museum for the Impressionist exhibit. The paintings were exquisite, as expected, but what was shocking was only one female artist out of all the others shown, were by male artists. It parallels with what I have been learning in class, that women artist were completely underrepresented and suppressed because of their gender. I will be describing a brief synopsis about Mary Cassatt’s life. Then I will be talking about the subject of the woman, her mother, in the painting. And finally, what caught my attention to Mary Cassatt’s, Mrs. Robert S. Cassatt, the Artist’s Mother painting, done in 1889, and my art analysis of her piece.
Homer’s rebellious actions come as an astonishment to John, and this as a result causes a conflict between the two. An example of this conflict would be Homer yelling to his father, “There's nothing here for me! The town is dying, even the mine is dying...EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BUT YOU!”. John, furiously says “You want to get out so bad, then go. Go!”, Homer, in anger replies with “Yeah, I’ll go! Yeah, I’ll go! And I'll be gone forever! I won't even look back!”. The only way for Homer to overcome this conflict is to disregard his father, and remain focused on the task at hand. This is obviously not an easy thing for anybody to do. Nonetheless, Homer must become oblivion to the negativity that comes from his father and the rest of Coalwood. Another example of the challenges that Homer had to overcome would including building a rocket itself. Although inspired by the launch of Sputnik I, Homer, who was once a jock, had no clue how to build a rocket. Putting his reputation as a jock on the line, Homer decided to gain knowledge about rocketry from Quentin, the nerd of the school. By conversing with Quentin, Homer’s reputation in the school begins to decline. This however, did not discourage Homer as he continues to be equally
Art provokes oneself to express a feeling that one has encountered in their lifetime and allows the artist to display their masterpiece for an observer to connect to. Artist Berthe Morisot once said, “It is important to express oneself… provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience”. With the usage of movements, hues, sounds, shapes, or methods articulated in words, an artist can communicate his or her beliefs by making emotional connections to their audience. Art allows individuals to express themselves in creative ways that can bring many individuals closer by having a connection. In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, nearly everyone is conditioned in the modern world to show the impact of what art can influence
The Pop Art Movement Pop art got its name from Lawrence Alloway, who was a British art critic in the 1950’s. The name “Pop Art” reflected on the “familiar imagery of the contemporary urban environment” (kleiner, 981). This art form is popular for its bold and simple looks plus its bright and vibrant colors. An example of this type of art is the oil painting done by Andy Warhol, “Marilyn Diptych” (Warhol, Marilyn Diptych) in 1962. The Pop art movement became known in the mid-1950s and continued as a main type of art form until the late 1960’s.
Personal and creative expressions are an alternative approach to traditional academic writing. They employ personal experiences to convey anecdotal narratives. Personal narrative in scholarly writing allows for a broader spectrum of emotion, such as empathy, compassion and humanity. This style no longer confines argumentative research to the empirically verifiable. For the reader, creative and personal expression allows for a broader chance of identification with the text. In the 1970s, consciousness-raising was focused on women’s personal experiences (Lecture Slides: January 12). Through personal narratives, consciousness-raising provided an environment in which individuals are able to develop a collective significance
