Ben Morris is a representational artist who is currently attending the University of Regina where his art work called “Lost but not Forgotten” was shown in the fifth parallel gallery during the exhibition declared at “flat art”, which ran from March fourth to the twenty-first in 2014. Within the medium of oil paint, along with being painted on canvas “lost but not forgotten” by Ben Morris draws a person eye to the ground, which consists of a blue table pushed against a brown wall. Now in the fore-ground a person would see the tail side of a quarter which is dated at the year 2010. Bent over holding the quarter in place is a lego man, whose shadow extends to the wall containing a waist up reflection. As a person continues to search this painting they will come upon a smirk on the lego man’s face. When analyzing art work a person will need to spend an exceptional amount of time to grasp the exact intention/ meaning along with bring themselves to questions about the art, such as what is the content the artist is presenting, does the art work present a strong representation of form, lastly a person should be able to add their own personal feelings explain how the painting made them feel. In the painting lost but not forgotten by Ben Morris’s a person will be able to look upon an art piece and see such implications, due to the use of a shadow eluding to the wall, the year of the quarter being held by a lego man as well as the prodding smirk upon the lego mans face.
Creating a sense of past to present feel. Ben Morris uses a shawdow of the lego man which extends to the wall because it embeishes the painting with the sensation of how unpopular lego once was to its its reformed booming popularity. The aritist made excellent use of t...

...odern day mocking of how an artist feel towards Legos past to present existence along with the decisions they have made. Now after the full breakdown of the small elements shadow, quarter and smirk the artist goal was very well achieved along with honing the right of his art work to be objective art, as it propels itself to poke fun at lego and its ill-wise choice and formidable growth. The artist did succeed on connecting the audience to this idea in its context. Furthermore, as an ending though; this art piece was very original in the aspect of what the artist was trying to convey along with their attempt to join the group of objective artists. After having the chance to observe the painting by Ben Weiss I have came to the conclusion that is was an absolute delight along with it gives you the chance to see a new way to express your opinions, thank you Ben Weiss.

Page 106 of the chapter called “Old Father, Old Artificer” in Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel has a layout of four equal squares, indicating the important presence of her father as an authority. Allison communicates through the images only in the first two panels to let it paints how good her father is as an artist. In all of the panels, the objects in the house are what he interests in since his eyes and head face directly to them. The objects relate to his coldness and strictness as they do not have emotion just like him ignores his daughter. The first caption states, “MY FATHER COULD SPIN GARBAGE…” The word “spin” emphasizes the process of transforming the trash that her father finds into something more useful like an artist producing thread. Her speechless expression reveals that she must obey and stand there waiting to get ordered like a slave. This scene is zoomed out, which illustrates a feeling of isolation. The ellipses at the end of the narration lead the reader’s eyes into the next panel.
Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously

As I stood staring at such a life-like sculpture in the confines of a briskly chilly art museum corridor, I could only imagine the amount of exhausted nights the sculptor had to endure to create his extremely exhausted masterpiece. The sculptor Duane Hanson and his piece “The Football Player” most-certainly shared the same facial expression at one point in their existence, as to describe their excessively tired states’. One might infer that Hanson’s piece was created in part to express the feeling of exhaustion that was created from his constant work.

I choose to write about prompt #2 . “In some stories, characters come into conflict with the culture in which they live.”
Before I start off 1984 was one of the books I found to be most interesting. This book made me see things a little differently. What if that’s how our society was?
Seymour is a palely sick, quiet individual, who is disconnected from the world. Dr. Sivetski told Seymour’s father that the army should not have released him from the hospital and that he could go crazy. He should not of been let out, let alone have been trusted with driving, or anything for that matter since his accident in Germany. He is not right in the head and could go off at any time. The window incident, chair incident, telling off Grandma, and what he did with the Bermuda pictures were not gone into detail because J.D. Salinger wanted the reader to know just how embarrassed and worried Seymour’s parents were about his current situation. Muriel, Seymour’s sister ignores or doesn’t recognize the signs of how messed up he is. Instead of being by Seymour’s side, she is socializing and making the best of her time in New York. While she was busy having drinks with the Psychiatrist, Seymour was entertaining three year old, Sharon Lipschutz by playing the piano.

These types of image explore the concept of actual and virtual, past and memory, and they represent the interaction of mental and physical time. By the practical examples of Tarkovsky’s movies in this highly theoretical context, architecture must question its aesthetic principle to go beyond the level of materiality, and to “touch the deeper level of consciousness, dream and feeling…” (Pallasmaa, 2001: 91).
In chapter one we are introduced to our narrator, Ponyboy. Ponyboy is raised by his two older brothers Darry and Soda. They’re all apart of a gang called the “greasers” which is joined by Dally, Johnny, Two-bit, and Steve. There is another group called “ socs” which stands for socials, and everyone in that group is very wealthy. One day Ponyboy got jumped by a socs group, but luckily Darry was there to help before anything too serious happened. The first element of literature is characterization. Ponyboy is a keen observer, trying to make sense of the complexities of those around him. At the beginning of the story, he stops and spends several pages giving us brief character description on Steve, Two-Bit, Dally, and Johnny. This is also known as direct characterization. He tells us that Steve is "cocky and smart" ( Hinton 9). Two-Bit can 't stop joking around and goes to school for "kicks" (Hinton 10) rather than to learn. Dallas, he says, is "tougher, colder, meaner" ( Hinton 10) than the rest of them.
An interesting fact about LeWitt is that he never referred to his 3D work as sculptures but as structures instead. As a result, he designed the Circle with Towers with the mindset that it was a structure relating to architecture rather than traditional sculptures. Moreover, LeWitt’s artwork is seen as radical because of the idea behind it. For example, he claimed that a concept could generate a work of art and stated that “the idea becomes the machine that makes the art”
Critical thinking is a very important aspect to understanding art. As David Perkins put it in “The Intelligent Eye”, we must avoid “experimental thinking”, a rash, quick way of thinking based on observations and use “reflective intelligence”, a way of thinking in which a viewer takes their time and dissects details and nuances to fully understand a work of art. A majority of viewers will look at a piece of art and come to a quick analysis of it, without much thought. But, according to Perkins, “The more attentive the observation is, the better the opportunity is for deeper learning” (Perkins 14). As Banksy said in Exit Through the Gift Shop, “the reaction to the work of art is the most important thing about it.” Without a reaction or an opinion, the work of art has no meaning. Therefore, in order to trul...
