Analysis: The Mint Museum At Randolph

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

Morisot uses a variety of techniques to illustrate a peaceful moment between a mother and daughter on the seaside. Throughout the piece, Morisot uses a series of short and spontaneous lines to create the figures and masses. The presence of these loose brush strokes throughout the piece create both rhythm and unity, making the piece simple and composed. However, variety is also created by the strong contrast between the foreground and background of this piece. The overlapping of the woman, child, and deck with the ocean and the disproportional shapes of the people and ships create an illusion of depth and space. This depth separates the masses present in the foreground from the background. The colors used in the foreground and background are also juxtaposed, with bolder and darker colors being used in the foreground and more bright and muddied colors being used in the background. This contrast establishes emphasis on the masses present in the foreground of the piece (the mother and child). The implied lines created by the gazes of the mother and child also contrast, with the mother’s view

McCarthy provides rich examples of imagery to lure the reader in and to understand the secret symbolism of fire. He writes about depressing scenarios such as “the cans in the galley floor [not looking] in any way salvageable and even in the locker [seeing] some that were badly rusted and some that wore an ominous bulbed look”.(McCarthy 119) This imagery helps the reader understand what kind of situation the characters are in and how hard it

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but

The lightly glossed, oil painted canvas depicts a little girl dozing by the red railing of a fire escape above the city streets. The little girl is seen to be resting her head on her right hand, napping. Walter Williams contrasts the curves of the girl’s soft pink dress with the hard grid of the ironwork and straight lines of the window that reflects similar fire escapes across the street. A rooftop water tower is outlined against the haze of the evening sky, and a skylight punctures the roof below.

In addition to mirroring life, the Sea of Flames sets the stage for Doerr’s most pervasive yet inconspicuous analogy. When asked what he wants readers to take away from his novel, Doerr replies “that war is more complicated than they [the readers] might have thought, that there were civilians on both sides making really complicated moral decisions, [...] [that] little miracles” sprouted in the least expected of places (Schulman 27). The Sea of Flames is a central messenger for this theme at individual points of the novel but also in its overarching structure. The reader is first introduced to the Sea of Flames when it is housed at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, marked only by “an iron door with a single keyhole,” a series ending with a “thirteenth [...] no bigger than a shoe.” (Doerr 19-20). All the Light We Cannot See is partitioned into fourteen fragments- but it is labeled zero through thirteen. Just as passing through each door brings one closer to the gem, Doerr seeks to guide his reader through the locked gates of compassion and conflict to arrive at his own gem, which is revealed after passing through the thirteenth gate, into the last chapter of the novel, as Marie-Laure contemplates all the invisible electromagnetic waves, “ten thousand I miss yous, fifty thousand I love yous” passing “over the scarred and ever-shifting landscapes.” Transient messages connecting ephemeral people who eventually fall away, like the Sea of Flames, and “rise again

“It’s nothing, Mother! There’s nothing there… Please sit down…” He pained me even more than did his mother’s cries.

5. Time and Motion- The element of time is somewhat apparent in which the painting depicts events that happened during the daytime because of the lighting and brightness used in the painting. The red and black colors incorporated in the smoke and fire from the villages implement a sense of time, because although there is smoke and fire the buildings are still in solid form, not destroyed, symbolizing that the fire may not have been burning for very long. When dealing with the element of motion I automatically begin to think

The North Carolina Museum of Art is an art museum that composes of 5,000 years of artistic work from antiquity to the present. It features over 40 galleries, an amphitheater for outdoor performances, and a variety of exhibitions and public programs. The Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM and closed on some holidays.

The West Georgia Museum of Tallapoosa is a blast from the past for most of the older generation while the younger generations get to see how their grandparents or great grandparents got to live long before they were born. The overall theme of the museum is honoring and memorializing the old city of Tallapoosa. When exploring the little museum, there are displays of old stores and work offices such as a dentist office or a doctor’s office display from the 1800’s. These displays are interesting to look at because most of the stuff on display in each of these rooms are actual items from that time or very close to that era. When viewing these rooms, there is a button viewers can press which activates a narrator to tell them what they are viewing

by 90 in, or approximately 5 ½ ft. high by 7 ½ ft. wide. The artwork is imposing and takes up much of the wall, necessitating that the viewer stand in multiple places to view the panting from multiple angles. The painting is in a relatively thin frame, with no glass. The media is oil and acrylic on canvas. The lighting in this gallery space is dim, and the painting is illuminated with two dim spot lights, in such a way that middle of the painting is illuminated more so than the sides. The subject matter of the painting is a view of the San Francisco bay, with San Quentin State Prison visible on the opposite side of the bay. The prison composes the background and is placed in the center right of the painting, the water in the bay and a small sailboat compose the middle ground, and the coastline composes the foreground and is placed on the left side of the painting. The prison is very small in scale compared to the coastline, to create the illusion of distance between the two, and the viewer’s perspective is that of standing on the coastline opposite the prison. The prison and the sailboat are the only two man-made objects in the painting. The coastline depicted is a small and rounded beach. Large tan and brown boulders with sage green and brown plant-life growing on them are placed on the opposite side of the small beach from the viewer’s perspective, and partially obstruct the view of

I first visited the Mint Museum during my spring break and was astonished at the variety of collections and exhibitions. The collection that caught my attention was the American Art collections specifically Noonday In Summer by Jerome Thompson. Noonday In Summer is an oil on canvas which was created in 1852. Thompson’s Noonday In Summer portrays a group of farmworkers resting in a secluded area while enjoying a small picnic.

The beautiful painting is a visual treat to anyone laying eyes on it. The blue sky the wavy water the sailboats all are ironic to any coastal shore. The moon on the distance is an indication that it’s early dusk or dawn. The sea looks windswept but calm and clear rather than stormy and angry. The ship is setting out on a long journey but the butterflies are an indication to a positive spin on departure so it’s probably intended for people who have had or will have firsthand experience with departure and those emotions.

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.

Many elements and principles are portrayed in this art piece. To begin with, the first thing I see and grabs my attention is the swirling wind. Rhythm and Movement can be seen and it creates a flow to the rest of the painting in which leads your eyes to follow along the path of the swirl and brings you to the next subject. It allowed me to view the art piece up to down and left to right, as I started from the swirl to the stars
