Analysis Of The Poem ' The Bay Of Naples '

Then there are also many psychological lines to be seen in the work. One such line is of the woman and the floor, where she is staring down towards it. Another is from the young child and the store clerk, showing a defiance between the two. Next, light and value are not very contrasting in this painting, with only the basic highlights and the shadows seen. It isn’t completely contrasting or contradicting since the colors blend well together with close to the same value ranges, dark colors seen throughout except for the people’s pale faces. There also seems to be a variety of light sources since the woman’s face along with the shop clerk and the young boy’s is lit up by what seems to be a light bulb since they’re much brighter and highlighted and then the men and women in the back aren’t really as bright, except for the ones who close to the open door, creating a blue tinge from the outside light. The shapes shown through the painting is shown to be either very round or very geometrical. There are organic shapes in things such as the umbrella or even the back of the chair, but mostly it is either straight lines and geometrical shapes. The volume shown in the painting is very much implied, correctly showing the

The migrant experience varies for each person, some will have endured traumatic episodes in their life and these experiences are explored in Skrzynecki’s poetry. Through thorough interpretations of Peter Skrzynecki poems, ‘Crossing the Red Sea’, ‘Migrant Hostel’ and ‘Immigrants at Central Station’ the responder gains insight into the emigration experience which encompasses the physical and emotionally draining journey which is a result of the grave uncertainty and doubt lingering around the migrants future. Despite this, through each of his poems the composer also alludes to a future filled with hope and a sense of belonging.

Throughout history, authors have used poetry as a way to express themselves and how they think or feel in an artistic way. There have been poems written about almost every feeling a person has ever had which is why poetry is so popular, because it describes feelings in a way many people cannot. In present day, people from all around the world look back at old poetry and try to define the true meanings behind poems using literally elements and context clues to aid them, this is known as explication. The writing named “Boat of Cypress” is a famous poem written long ago by an unknown author, and composed about a woman full of misery and despair from her personal point of view. Throughout this poem, the readers

Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.

It is a famous example of Renaissance art showing portraiture, realism, and some perspective. In this painting there are four distinct characters. Each has a different expression that shows how they are feeling. There is also more detail in the faces then in any other parts of the painting. Another technique it demonstrates is heightened realism. Whereas before the Renaissance the figures may have been painted simply and in only enough detail to get the general idea across, these figures are shown more realistically. Lastly there is the technique of perspective as shown in the background of the painting. The sea stretches out into the sky and the land in the background is shown how it would look if the viewer was actually

The painting depicts a singular mountain with trees and abstract landmasses in the foreground. The trees are placed in such a way that they seem to echo the shape of the mountain. This is an example of Cézanne’s attempt to created a structured composition out of the scenes that he observes in nature. Cézanne was not depicting nature as it was, but rather he was, as he called it, making “a construction after nature” (Stokstad,1013). This is one idea that lead Cézanne away from the impressionists, who were more concerned with reproducing on canvas exactly what their eyes perceived. Another thing that was different between Cézanne’s style and the impressionists’ was the way that he applied paint to the canvas. For example, in this painting, the trees and land in the foreground are loosely painted in; their forms are created by an amalgamation of colored blotches. The blotches of color often bleed into each other, and the forms that they represent begin to dissolve. The image is flattened by the ambiguous forms in several spot in this painting, creating a disruption in the illusionistic space and bring the viewer’s focus on the inherently flat surface of the painting. The most effective technique that Cézanne employs in his attempt at depicting space in this painting is atmospheric perspective. Coloring the mountain with the same shades of blue

The painting appears to be three-dimensional but is painted flat or two-dimensional. The painting looks three-dimensional through the use of different techniques by the artist to give off the illusion of depth. Bierstadt overlaps and changes the sizes of the mountain peaks to emit a since of depth to the painting. He uses atmospheric perspective to give the impression of depth through hazy conditions. The wildlife below the mountain is less distinct to make the mountains the vocal point of the painting. The highest mountain peaks are painted lighter and are less distinct to highlight the dense fog and cloud coverage throughout the mountain range. Along with depth, the artist also uses color to express the beauty found in

Claude Monet’s use of the illusionary space in this image is actually quite amazing. At first glance, your eye is drawn towards the left side of the painting, due to the amount of large and bulky objects in the foreground. Suddenly though your eyes turn to Camille; the woman gazing into the distance. As she stares off into the distance she acts a point to redirect the focus of the piece past the water and into the village across the river. This painting has a surprising power in that it is ability to fully mesmerize and captivate the viewer in a way few pieces of art can.

Further more, in the painting, “the Gleaners”, the entire screen is filled with contrast elements. First of all, the main figures in the front labor scene are full of rich vigor, contrasting to the background with silent objects such as hay, trees and farmhouse. Secondly, the color brightness of the front contrast to the back, as well as the comparison of relative sizes between figures and scenery, applying the principle of perspective. What’s more, the most classic is the horizontal line, the intersection of the sky and the ground, contrasting with the light source, from the top left. Consequently, 2D and 3D spatial effects are combined precisely. Meanwhile, the sense of space of the image is strengthened as well.

Hill painted a perfect looking scenery which made it realistic as if a real scenery picture was taken with an advanced technology. Hill applied a wide range of vivid colors to help enhance this piece more. If I was to visit a senior citizen home and had to depict this painting to a blind fe/male. I would start off by saying firstly, my attention was drawn towards the upper atmosphere’s bright blue color which reflected from the large body of water underneath it. Which is often associated with feelings of breaths slowing down and when one reaches a certain state of relaxation. Secondly, by imagining one mashing a pillow against their palms I was able to feel the fluffiness of what floats in the sky. In order to picture, the way the sizes and shapes change I would compare it to when one

Using the carnival as a background is appropriate because it is a time of celebration when everything is in chaos and people have lost their self-control. The carnival may be a symbol of Montresor’s own madness and the crazy thoughts in his head. The carnival usually indicates joyful social interaction but it is distorted by Montresor. Montresor’s reference to the bones and vaults of his family foreshadow the story’s descent into the underworld. The underground travels of the two men are a metaphor for their trip to hell. The carnival is essentially for the living but Montresor takes it into the vaults underground, to the realm of the dead and the satanic. The setting Poe chose for the story adds to the terror. Most of the events of the story runs in dark, damp tunnels piled with the bones of dead people. By taking Fortunato into the vaults, Montresor cuts him off from help. The two characters are underground and isolated.

Another interesting part of this canvas is the direction of the reflections showing from the water. Van Gogh tries gives us this sense of calm movement with the reflection of the lighting going in a downward course. Also, the artist shows the viewer the grouping from the stars, to the lights from the houses, to the reflection form the water and which again it gives us the sense of the lighting going in a downward motion.

Poetry from the Victorian Era shifted its focus from the Romantic ideals of nature and imagination to the political and social concerns of an increasingly industrialized nation. As an art form, poetry allowed for critical response to issues that plagued a specific moment in time. Robert Southey 's poem, “The Sailor Who Had Served in the Slave Trade”, presents an important reflection on the cruelty of the slave trade and appoints Christian values as a means towards redemption.

The Sea at Le Havre, painted by Claude Monet in 1868, is a 23 5/8” x 24 3/8” oil on canvas landscape painting. Monet was a French artist who lived from 1840 to 1926 and was considered to be an impressionist. A unique quality of Monet was unblended “sloppy” brushstrokes combined with a use of precise choice of color, as seen clearly in The Sea at Le Havre. Because of his vigorous and richly textured painting style, Monet was able to capture the look and feel of the movement of water, which was demonstrated in The Sea at Le Havre, using an impasto style. He used erratic brushstrokes to show the ripples of forming waves and the foam of the waves crashing on the shore. His brushstrokes are also almost completely horizontal, which seemed to make the painting feel heavier. In the sky, Monet used thicker, longer, and more opaque strokes, as well as of varying hues of blue and gray, along with white, to create a look of overcast. To give the clouds fluffiness and substance, the paint that was used for the sky was inconspicuously smudged in some places, with more defined clouds layered overtop. The depth of the painting is attributed to his choices of color. Black is rarely used in the painting aside from where necessary, but rather replaced with darker shades of blue to show divots in the water, heavy clouds, and the distance of the village of houses that line the horizon. The different shades also give a more realistic form of light to his paintings, which was a focus of the impressionism era. His painting appears to be slightly gloomy, but doesn’t convey sadness. The piece is uniform in color, to emphasize the overcast, darkened day. Monet also used symmetrical spacing, with the canvas split nearly in half between the sea and the sky. The only thing that separates the sea and the sky is a piece of jutted-out land that shows he is on a gulf or an inlet. On that piece of land, that goes a little over a third of the way onto the canvas, Monet used heavy contrast, then continues the horizon with a slightly thick, darker blue-gray line to clearly separate the halves of sea and sky. There are three places where it appears that Monet used black along with darker shades of purple and blue, and each of those three places are

When entering the room, people crowded around Monet’s pieces, which felt like an honor to see the type and techniques his work has. The colors describe the feeling of an early morning. The painting has a muted palette of blues, greens, and grays. The sunrise is orange and yellow which are surrounded by the clouds and smoke from steamboats. Three boats are shapes and visible while the rest fade into the distance. This painting is an example of plein air or outdoor painting. I also notice that Monet layered the colors so that when I viewed the painting from a far distance I knew what the painting was about however when I looked at it up close I saw brush strokes and
