Analysis Of ' The Pearls On A String '

The heavenly portrayal of the background and foreground shows a flawless use of space. The distance between the foreground and background was well selected for this piece. This is die to the fact that the two children are not close enough to exaggerate the way they look but they are also not too far away. The distance covered in the background communicates a message of clarity and relaxation that is evident in the children's faces. Two dimensional portrayal of the painting appears to fit the calculated purpose. The

The center figure of this piece displays a graceful movement through the organic shapes. The background figures present a laboring movement through the geometric shapes. This contrast emphasizes the center figure. The proportion of the size in this artwork is very evident. The large center figure is proportionally bigger than the small background figures. Both principles help convey emphasis in this piece. The artist reveals an emphasis on the center figure through the colors and size. The large, white and black center figure differentiates from the small black background figures. These principles of design highlight the center figure as the focal point of this piece.

This painting is a portrait of an old woman who is sitting on a chair while facing to the left. She is wearing a yellow flower dress with a beige jacket while sitting in an empty room. Her beauty is illustrated by her curly, gray hair and also her wrinkled face, neck, and hands. These details is what makes her look real and pure. I like how detailed it is because it reminds me of my grandmothers.

As a formal analysis, this artwork has a figure in the center of the page, which can be assumed to be the focal point due to its positioning in the center of the picture plane. Also, this artwork is monochromatic, and the only color used is the hue green. Towards the top left-hand corner, there are darker shades of green, which make this part seem to be in front of the rest of the picture by using overlapping to convey depth. Also, towards the right side of the picture, the people seem lighter and appear farther away than the dark shaded buildings Additionally, since the figure in the center of the work is larger and more detailed than the other figures, it appears that the center figure is closer to the viewer.

Kelly J. Mayes defines plot in The Norton Introduction to Literature as the way the author sequences and paces the events so as to shape our response and interpretation. Every piece of literature contains a plot pattern that follows Freytag’s pyramid. This pyramid consists of an exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a conclusion. Though each story displays this pattern of organization, authors use many different literary devices to differentiate their work and to acquire the response they want to achieve from their audience. The author of “The Jewelry,” Guy De Maupassant, correctly followed Freytag’s Pyramid and used varied literary devices to create a suspenseful read for the audience.

In "The Necklace" the authors choice of words, or diction, is very well articulated. I enjoyed this story because the narrator, Guy de Maupassant sets us so much suspense with the tone of the story. Madame Louisel essentailly loses a valuable item, or so she thought, and goes to major extents and even life-deminishing problems to just make it seem like she was not responsible enough to take care of a necklace for a night.

In The Pearl, society is responsible for Kino's failure because it never gives Kino the chance for an education and discriminates against Kino because of his race.

The Safavid Dynasty was very prosperous and the making of this artwork occurred during its golden age. The people of the Safavid dynasty were very involved with very rich trade. Through the extensive amount of detail and colors, one can tell that the artwork was definitely created during time of prosperity. Literacy, knowledge, and art was abundant so the painting recognized that through the use of illuminated text. The leopard skins that the King and the court appear to have display their power and wealth. Though there is a superfluous of minute details, the scene is still harmonic and is intended to be very peaceful. However, one of the angels known as Surush tells Gayumars that his son will be killed by demon. His power is further displayed by the fact that both animals and people obey and respect him. Overall, the painting is meant to display harmony. Harmony between the people and animals as they peacefully coexist within and also harmony between the people and the landscape. With the assistance even the rocks of the landscape, the King on top, his children to his sides, his court in a semi-circle below, they form a teardrop with the landscape and further show

Display: The painting is currently displayed in the center of an exhibit room, hanging on a white wall. It is the only object on that wall and is hung in the middle, directly centered. The placard does a very good job of telling the story of the painting. The lighting is also optimal for viewing said painting, as expected of a museum such as the Kimbell. The painting is surrounded by multiple pieces of religious art from two vastly different areas, Europe and Asia. The display is a thing of beauty, and is above satisfactory.

Filled with shades of red, the upper part of the painting comes to create a strong opposition with the black area below it, itself encircled by a darker red. This painting consisting of three floating rectangles in various colour combinations, creates a sombre mood conducive to spiritual contemplation. With the use of Rothko's saturated colours the viewers are moved

The principles used in this design include figure/ground relationship, asymmetrical contrast and repetition. Out of all these principles, contrast and repetition stands out most. In this work, there is contrast and repetition in colors. Color changed as it has moved one triangle to another. In addition, rhythm and repetition played important part in this design because the geometric shapes repeated more than once. Furthermore, there is also contrast in the size of the type and triangles. For instance, the title "The 2010 Shepley Bulfinch Summer Design Fellowship MMX" used bigger in size than other text. In this work, the figure/ground is well-balanced as well as positive and negative space. These triangles in primary colors and secondary colors are considered as figure and the white part in each rectangle considered as ground. The primary focal points are the triangle in red, blue and yellow. Then the secondary focal point is the triangle that colored in purple and light orange. At last, the tertiary focal point is the texts and the white background of the poster.

The painting shows the most joyous celebration of the Soviet Union soldiers after conquering the capitol. Some spectators have said “[they’ve] never seen a painting depict the joy of victory as much as this one.” You can see that in this painting it seems like a very hard fought battle and that it must have been grueling and ferocious. You can tell that at the end of this long terrible battle the victors that stand all around their fallen foes are celebrating and emotional and overall purely joyed. This painting depicts the image that you could create in your head of the battle’s end perfectly. The smoke filling the sky and the bullet riddled pillars shows the grueling battle. The soldiers of the Red Army standing in arms with their comrades cheering and smiling just shows victory to the absolute best extent.

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

“She was one of those pretty and charming girls, born, as if by an accident into a family of clerks” this is what Guy de Maupassant started “The Necklace” off by saying (Maupassant 221). Also, this helps describe the main character and to give the readers a visual of Mathilde Loisel. “The Necklace” is a short story that Mathilde Loisel, the main female character, wants to be a higher class than she really is. Mathilde’s life drastically changes one night after she loses the necklace. Guy de Maupassant incorporates his use of the social class into the short story.
