Analysis Of Chiharu Shiota 's Piece On The Continent Depicts Shoes From All Over The World

Holding it gently across her torso, the scarf is seen as symbolic of her life and her values, and her use of slow and sustained dynamics signifies the value of the shawl. As she places the white cloth gently downstage centre, she flings each side of the scarf in contrasting directions and swipes her hands across the shawl gently on a sagittal plane across her body, repeating the movement on either sides. The swiping actions across her body are manipulated through the dance as the movement is executed quicker and with magnified body generated movement. The arm movements also are modified in course as she extends her arms over her and on a frontal plane. The arm movements’ contexts are often viewed as imploring for help and breaking loose from the suffering of slavery. The motif of the scarf is consistent as she expresses her exasperation behind the shawl, performing centre stage across its length. This implies she is restricted by her individual body as she lives a lifetime of slavery due to her racial

Eisenberg provides a great example of a communication issue between two types of organizations and their potential buyers. Both organizations have unethical practices to some degree, but the questions asked of the reader are more directed at communication techniques used by each of these companies, and how aspects like globalization effect the legality of the issue. On one hand, there is the large organization who uses deceptive marketing tactics, and the other is a street vendor that sells fraudulent “knockoff” versions of name brands.

Alfred F. Young wrote The Shoemaker and the Revolution to explain how a regular citizen could become such an active participant in the American Revolution. He explores one citizen in particular, the shoemaker George Robert Twelves Hewes, and how he went from a young, nervous boy to a patriot that stood up for what he believed. Young describes that this transformation can be explained by participation in events that inspired the revolution - the Boston Massacre, the Boston tea Party, and the tarring and feathering of John Malcolm.

In addition to this, belonging to a family is a key concept in this novel. The novel opens with an alluring introduction to the family; a blissful atmosphere is created through the picturesque icons of their family life. The composer uses small photograph like icons to allude towards the widely acknowledged contentment that is readily associated with the memories in a picture album. Tan introduces the motif of the paper crane which he carries through the length of his novel as a symbol of affection and belonging between the family members. The next pages signify the break in contentment as the man begins his journey and a salient image of the couple with their hands grasping the other’s parallels the anxiety and despair in their downcast facial expressions. Although the gloomy atmosphere, the light sepia tones in the picture allow an insight into the tender and loving relationship that the family members share. Upon the man’s departure the paper crane motif returns and he hands it to his daughter as a token of his undying love for her. His migratory experience is studded by the comfort and ease that he obtains from a picture of his family. In paralleled scenes on the boat and the new apartment, the

A low relief carving made in 410-407 BC, Nike Adjusting Her Sandal, was taken from a fragment of the parapet in the Temple of Athena Nike. As the goddess extends forward, her chiton slips from her body, and wings balance her stance. The covering lacks the pronunciation found in The Nike of Samothorace, as it drapes over her figure smoothly rather than extending texture. A direct reference to footwear and the importance of footwear can be extrapolated

The use of symbolism and imagery is beautifully orchestrated in a magnificent dance of emotion that is resonated throughout the poem. The two main ideas that are keen to resurface are that of personal growth and freedom. Furthermore, at first glimpse this can be seen as a simple poem about a women’s struggle with her counterpart. However, this meaning can be interpreted more profoundly than just the causality of a bad relationship.

Once we arrived, we looked up possible exhibitions that we could attend. A museum employee recommended African textiles. After hearing the title, I immediately expected this exhibition to have complicated and precise components to the tiles. African textiles are, in fact, made of wool or fine animal hair in a weave patterns. Although the exhibit was interesting, it wasn’t what peaked my interest.

The importance and value of extended family and family heritage/ memories in Saed’s work is represented by descriptive language, personification and motifs. Saed tells the story of the healing nature of sharing traumatic memories after hers and her extended family’s traumatic experiences. In the lines, “Grandmothers tell the story of healing; how wounds heal only after they have memorized the moment of hurt...” and “Mother’s veil hangs on the wall like a talisman. Her lapis doves and tinselled mountains are misplaced and glorified behind plates of glass…”(What the Scar Revealed) the personification of wounds enables the reader to compare the situation to their own lives, bring it ‘alive’ and giving it a deeper meaning. ‘Wounds’ is a recurring motif throughout the poem to reinforce and emphasise the principal message of the healing nature of sharing traumatic memories. These extracts show the value Saed holds

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

In this literary analysis it is essential to compare and contrast Cathy Song’s poem “Heaven” and Bryan Thao Worra’s poem “Pen/Sword” to give the reader a better understanding of what the authors’ are conveying to their readers. The similarities in the style, word choice, and theme will be compared, along with the differences of style, word choice, and theme reflected throughout each poem. Furthermore, I will determine the meaning behind the broken up and/or the way the lines of each poem while describing why the lines are strategically placed throughout the pieces. This will allow me to identify the meaning that the authors’ are explaining to the reader. Each poet specifically writes to give the reader(s) a picture of what they are feeling and defining their emotion through their writing.

Textiles works are the most important works that represents Asian countries. Mostly all the textile works are exported to western countries from Asia, because textile works are very famous in Asia especially in Korea. One of the most famous Korean artists, Kimsooja’s works is based on fabrics that were sewn out of colorful clothing from thread and ink. Recently when I went at the show KIMSOOJA Unfolding, Vancouver Art Gallery, I got to see many remarkable textile works made by her, it seemed very beautiful seeing the whole segment of the gallery decorated with her colorful textile works.

The movie The Field of Lost Shoes, purely based off of the Battle of New Market, is both accurate and inaccurate when displaying soldiers’ lifestyle and their experiences that occurred during the Civil War. The movie is inaccurate in a way that is portrays soldiers having to leave their jobs, when they really did have jobs they had to leave. The movie is accurate in most scenes. Its accuracy proves to be correct in the scenes that women had to step in as nurses and help the wounded, soldiers leaving their loved ones, the horrible conditions that the soldiers had to fight through, and when groups of stable soldiers went to the field’s aftermath to rescue wounded soldiers and their loved ones. Overall, the movie is consistently accurate all the way through to show how the Civil War impacted the American lifestyle.
