The Dinner Table (1974 – 1979) by Judy Chicago
1a. While viewing this piece of work, the emotions I feel are powerful and pride. I feel powerful because I am a woman and here’s this piece of art celebrating and embracing all the women who made a difference and pathed a way for every other woman in this world. When I look at those work of art I feel as if I can do anything I set my mind too. Many of the women printed on the art didn’t have is easy. They work hard for all their accomplishments and didn’t let the men in this world intimidate them to stop just because they are women. I feel pride because this piece makes me feel happy to be a woman and that I am special because of that.
1b. The goal of “The Dinner Party” was to introduce women’s heritage and the role they played in throughout history. Mostly the history of women in Western civilization. Also, the goal was to show the importance of women in this world. Many things wouldn’t be if it weren’t for women. At the time this piece was made, the women’s right movement was just beginning, so I believe this was made to encourage equal rights for women.
1c. Judy Chicago chose to use the form of a triangle because it’s the earliest signs for women, an ancient symbol for the goddess, and the three equal sides represents the equalized world woman try to create. Michelangelo’s Pieta (1498 – 1499)
2a. The subject matter of this is a real representation of Virgin Mary holding the dying body of Jesus Christ. This is exactly what
In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.
My analysis of how successful and how did this artwork affect the society and culture as its target
“A Family Supper” by Kazuo Ishiguro has an interesting twist on love and family, albeit grotesque to some, the literature is meaningful. The characters played a major role in how the family dynamics played against one another. The family home sets the reader up to understand the isolation the father felt. The conflicts the characters experience have shaped them into the people they are presently. The lack of an ending also plays a major role in the way love and family is portrayed by the author and will conclude how love and family relate to this piece of literature.
Three people from three different backgrounds all with their own unique stories. It is amazing how diverse the world can be. Despite being so different these three people are all vastly similar in the methods they use to sway an audience. Daniel, the writer of The Necessity believes that parades are essential. This very simple display of culture allows normal everyday people the chance to escape from their deeply depressing lives and show a bit of pride. Fong, the writer of Rice for Thanksgiving has a particularly interesting reflection on his family history. Despite the troubles they went through due to discrimination he still believes in the melting pot that is America. Chelsey the writer of Taking the Bus talks about how her experiences with new and strange people on the bus have changed her outlook on life. The interactions with these people give her some perspective on how her life fits in in the grand scheme of things. All of these stories are different yet they all do one very similar thing. They use the human capacity for sympathy as a means of swaying the reader.
How does your piece of art communicate, evoke, or inspire? What do you think the artist was trying to say with his or her work?
In Artwork 1, Mary is placed in the centre of the image between Christ who is on the left and God who is on the right. The Holy Spirit is between the two which forms the Holy Trinity. The composition can be viewed as forming an inverted triangle or heart shape. Mary is the focal figure with an attitude of modesty, reverence and tranquil emotion with her right hand placed upon her heart in which reinforces this. God is expressed as a picture of wisdom as He is crowning the head of Mary with a garland of roses, along side Jesus. The Holy Spirit is present in the image above Mary and is portrayed in the traditional form of a white dove. Cherubs, angelic beings, are visible at the base of the painting which can be interpreted as guards. The use of blue in their garments symbolising heavenly grace in
Chapter two, The Dinner, is centralized around two main issues: the nation’s debt and where to locate its new capitol. While the issues were concerns of essentially every individual with political say, the three main problem-solvers presented in this chapter are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. These three individuals became involved with each other when Jefferson noticed Hamilton looing like an exhausted mess outside of George Washington’s office. Hamilton shared his concerns that his plan to solve the nation’s deficit had reached a stalemate in congress against James Madison’s faction. Jefferson then hosted a dinner between the three in an attempt to solve the stalemate because he feared a deadlock.
The Dinner is about a compromise that happened between Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. During the diner party, Jefferson played the mediator between Hamilton and Madison. Jefferson listened to Hamilton’s problems and then went to talk to Madison. By doing so he helped the make a compromise. The compromise is Madison agreed to permit Hamilton’s program to pass as long as Hamilton uses his influence to make the capital at the Potomac. The book then goes into detail on how this all started. Therefore this is an important event.
In this report, we will be taking a look in Dinner Party Economics written by Eveline Adomait and Richard Maranta. Specifically, we will be looking at Chapters eleven and twelve; Macroeconomic policy and inevitable political debate. Hello its me gka d shk gd h gd hj gusg Let us first dive into chapter eleven about macroeconomic policy. The big picture in this
The men’s meal is one that leaves Woolf feeling as though “we are all going to heaven. She lists off the potatoes being thin as coins, sprouts “foliated as rosebuds”, and pudding so good that if it were otherwise related to “rice and tapioca” would be nothing less than completely downgrading. The “luncheon party” was so proper that them speaking of what was being eaten was unacceptable. The men were greeted with things such as serving men and cushioned window seats for they are considered to be the most vital in their society. Their attitude was nothing less then snobbish for they were made to feel so high. Treated inferior to woman, and they sought to believe it themselves.
If I had a choice to invite any six famous people to a dinner party, I would choose to invite some of the key figures in the American Women’s Liberation movement. There have been many strong, knowledgeable women who have spoken out against the injustices that women have faced, but I have picked 6 women that I find to be remarkable.
“While survivors often feel shame in talking about abuse, talking about their artworks is an experience of finally coming home.” The first picture I created as a little girl, the second as an art student in college, and the other three in my adulthood. Painting, for me, is an affective methodology, a force of feeling life. Being an adult does not erase the childhood memories of abuse. The paintings presented here, convey psychological emotions of how a Black girl who witnessed domestic violence became a Black woman and how these paintings still give me space and freedom. The exploration of these paintings gives me a sense of accomplishment that I certainly would not have had if my father had shot me. I created a safe space for myself by focusing from my inner resource using my artwork and being self-empowering rather than being a victim. My journey taught me that I do not need to fear the past or give into negative criticisms about how I live my plight. Like Picasso, who felt wholly alive when he was painting and, only then, was it possible for him to taste freedom. What is significant for me now is how this little girl survived severe trauma and how I survived today as a Black
The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

However, in Michelangelo's sculpture, it depicts Virgin Mary holding on to Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. By the look of devastation on her face, it makes us feel sympathetic for her as she is holding on to her dead son. Though Mary's head was a little bit too big for her body, Pieta was considered one of the few best artworks during the Italian Renaissance as at that point of time it was rare for artists to create a sculpture and include two or more people. Reason being is due to the lack of knowledge of human figure that was taught back
