Colors and Décor symbolism: Today artists doing to explain an idea are really interesting and attractive to look to it, especially when it comes to colors. Do artists know how to do magic? Or they take control of the viewer by using colors? For example, when you see the red color in a surprising way it mean stop now. “God made the country; man made the town” the deprivation of colors makes the town really sad. Life without colors is unbearable. Scientific explanation of the white color is a mixture of rainbow colors; it is not fair to dispensed seven colors for one color. The science does not consider the black as a color, although it was considered as a color from ancient time. They think black is a symbolism of mystery and mysterious like the god. (Gage, J. Color and meaning)(Conroy, E. The symbolism of color: 1921) Symbolisms were using in the décor from long time ago, it consider as art. Persians had done it well in carpet weaving in the near past. But, since thousands of years ago appeared decor art known as graffiti, it is idea borrowed from the use of symbolism in the Egyptian civilization. For example, the drawing of dog head on a human body holding a shaft in his hand. It is symbol has very powerful meaning, it means that the guards of the pyramids are normal humans but them guarding the graves as if they were dogs. Now, the idea of graffiti coming more modern and easy to understand than it is thousands of years ago. For example, the symbolism of peacocks and ostrich feathers is a symbol of immensely wealthy. When you put those feathers in your home as décor it means you are really wealthy man. (Encyclopaedia Britannica. rug and carpet) (Newsobserver.

I agree with this statement because color is important and the color makes the picture brighter. When you color with different colors you can see the different lines of the paint that you couldn’t see before or that was hard to see without the paint. Some of the sculptures already have color in them when the artist is done making them. Like in the picture there is some white and black in the sculpture. But if the artist would but some color to the face it would show the lips, eyes, and nose a lot better. Also the color in the sculpture will make it stand out and I like to use color when I am coloring or when I am painting something because it brightens up my mood and it makes it look prettier I think. Some people just like the color black and white because they like the natural. They might also like it because it will look better on that one

Symbolism plays a major role in The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Several symbols are used to show the oppression of women by men as well as the struggle against that male dominated society. While there are a plethera of symbols that could be cited from the text to support this, there are a few especially important symbols throughout the story that lend support to the woman's suffrage theme. The wallpaper itself is symbolic of the mental barrier that men attempted to place on women during the 1800s. The color yellow is often associated with illness or weakness, and the writer's mysterious sickness is a symbol of man's oppression of the female sex. The two windows from which the writer loooks out of, observing the world but not participating in it, represent the possibilities of women if seen as equals by the opposite sex. The yellow wallpaper, about which the writer says, "I never saw a worse paper in my life," is a symbol of the mental restrictions that men attempted to enforce upon women (pg 423). Gilman writes, "The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, ...
There is a theory that dream and myth are related which is conveyed through the writing of Douglas Angus’ Kafka's Metamorphosis and "The Beauty and the Beast" Tale and supported by Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. The stories are very symbolic when conveying the metamorphosis of a human being. Unlike Beauty and the Beast, in the Metamorphosis some suggest love is received through acts of cruelty yet in actuality it appears that cruelty results in heartache. Due to being a beast, the repulsiveness requires genuine love which can achieve the “magical transformation.” This “magical transformation” is not achieved and creates a twist in the plot derived from the concepts in the “Beauty and the Beast.”
We have many Greek vases that are a great example but many were uncovered by archaeologist and others like I explained earlier were preserved in tombs. All of the decorations on vases give us only a few ideas of Greek painting. Greek showed the love in growing spirit such as...
What is Symbolism? Symbolism is the use of any of certain special figures or marks of identification to signify a religious message or divine being. I am building my own museum called the “Museum of Mysteries.” If I were to set up this museum what are some of the items I would include? In my museum I would set up all of my prized possessions, these items are: a cross, my diploma, a pair of scissors, and a broken chain.

The reason why William Golding chose to write his work “Lord of the Flies” is because the book was based on his own emotional views of mankind and his disconnection with his parent’s view of the world. His emotional views of mankind also stemmed from being a part of WWII as a member of the Royal Navy where he witnessed many deaths. Golding wanted to share with his readers the true complexity of the rise and fall of social order and the concept of survival of the fittest. Ironically, at the end of the book, a naval officer was their savior.
In the 19th century society was from different from what it is today. Women were not in the workforce, could not vote, or even have a say in anything. Women were not permitted to give evidence in court, nor, did they have the right to speak in public before an audience. When a woman married, her husband legally owned all she had (including her earnings, her clothes and jewelry, and her children). If he died, she was entitled to only a third of her husband’s estate. Charlotte Perkins Gilman wanted to change this. She wanted people to understand the plight of women in the 19th century. In her short story The Yellow Wallpaper she tries to convey this to the reader not just on a literal level, but through various symbols in the story. In The Yellow Wallpaper the author uses symbols to show restrictions on women, lack of public interaction, the struggle for equality, and the possibilities of the female sex during the 1800s.
In the book All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, symbolism is shown in multiple different ways. Symbolism is the usage of symbols to represent ideas and qualities.

Symbolism is a symbol of whatever the object or subject is about. Every little object can be used as a symbol of whatever. Like in math, for example shapes and numbers symbolize anything it can be. Also, the American flag, It has fifty stars, representing 50 states. Also, colors may be used as a symbol. Especially in the person, you can see their true color on how they are or act. Like red angry, blue sad, green happy, black dark, purple love, anything represents something. This is most likely your tone of mood. Also, signs outdoors have symbols. Like signs you see on the road, express way, ditches, restaurants, stores, etc. Most likely everywhere, you just got to pay more attention in what is outdoors and what’s around you.
On my first reading of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper", I found the short story extremely well done and the author, successful at getting her idea across. Gilman's use of imagery and symbolism only adds to the reality of the nameless main character's sheltered life and slow progression into insanity or some might say, out of insanity.

The Yellow Wallpaper is overflowed with symbolism. Symbols are images that have a meaning beyond them selves in a short story, a symbol is a detail, a character, or an incident that has a meaning beyond its literal role in the narrative.
