felt before when looking at artwork. I felt as if this girl, this young woman in the painting was real, hiding in the museum behind this canvas. She was in the flesh. Her skin was still dewy from three hundred-something years ago, the light across her face still glowing. She was in the round, her eyes followed mine, she was real. She was about to speak, she was in a moment of thought, she was in reflection. This girl was not crimson red or titanium white, she was flesh. Vermeer caught her, a butterfly
the camera into what seems like the future. The woman's eyes have wrinkles around them as they symbolize years of hard work. The woman also carries a frown on her face as she stares away from her children who stay close to her as she acts like a safety barrier between them and the evils of the world. The protagonists faces also seem to have dirt on them which might be an indication of a necessities life. All these elements within the protagonists faces demonstrate how the mother might be looking into
lying down and she is wearing revealing clothing. You can see the woman’s face but the main focus of the woman is her breast. A man is standing above her, wearing a nice suit, and he is holding a bottle of Skyy Vodka and two glasses. The man’s face is not shown, but you can see him from the waist down.

paper ... ...d up in the woman’s clothing and jewelry, to put the woman’s beauty on the pedestal. The most distinguishable element of the painting is Mona Lisa’s smile. People cannot tell if the woman was innocently smiling or secretly holding back the unknown.

This color scheme provides an eerie fog throughout the painting. The woman’s clothing also accentuates the dark tone of Spring Rain. She is dressed entirely in black. This signifies that her personality is somber and perhaps conservative. However, it is interesting that the woman is wearing red stockings. The fact that Sloan chose such a bold color suggests that he wished to show a slightly daring side of the woman’s personality. Hopper, on the other hand, uses a much lighter color scheme

Reading a Letter. In the painting a pale woman’s stands patiently while reading a letter. The woman appears to be wearing a blue jacket and a long gray skirt, and only gazing at the letter, ignoring all of her surroundings. The top right of the painting seems to be a map of the Netherlands, which attracts the viewer because it explains the setting of where the painting took place.

001 Prologue: A woman was huddled in the corner of a house, a knife in one hand and a baby in another. The baby was crying, and there was a look of terror on the woman's face. Suddenly, a banging sound made the woman's head jerk up. An inhuman scream followed, causing the woman to grip the knife tighter. The door across from her rattled, the wood creaking and threatening to break. She runs to the door, pushing a chair against it. Hearing another scream from outside the door, she picks up her
for a woman to wear what she likes with no restriction is the norm and having a certain dress code to put up with is considered to be restraining. A woman’s body is seen by non-Muslims as a great art that can be displayed and hiding it means being unappreciative to that art. Furthermore, when outsiders look at the scarf tied around the Muslim woman’s head, they see something oppressive and backward. They believe that the headscarf is forced on girls and women to oppress them and deprive them of their
of this painting forces the eye to the woman, and specifically to her face. Although the white wedding dress is large and takes up most of the woman’s figure, the white contrasts with her face and dark hair, forcing the viewer to look more closely into the woman’s face. She smokes a cigarette and rests her chin on her hands. She does not appear to be a very young woman and her eyes are cast down and seem sad. In general, her face appears to show a sense of disillusionment with life and specifically
straight lines through the work of art. As opposed to the curved lines in Degas’s painting, three straight lines arranged in a x-y-z plane manner is responsible for directing the viewer’s gaze to the focal point of this composition- the woman’s face.

women are an extremely important subsection of international human rights. Women have been placed as second-class citizens for much of human history, and although women are not overtly discriminated against in human rights legislations anymore.

Johnson's dilemma, having to deny a woman’s request to write a recommendation for her son because any recommendation letter he was capable of writing would be inadequate or untruthful, is all too familiar.

work in the woman's beauty, and also the two areas of her beauty-the internal and the external. The poem appears to be about a lover, but in fact was written about "Byron's cousin, Anne Wilmot, whom he met at a party in a mourning dress of spangled black" (Leung 312).

Byron portrays this, the mixing of the darkness and the light, not by describing the dress or the woman's actions,
