Analysis: Vietnamese Girl Kim Phuc Running After Napalm Attack

By the bright colors of this piece like orange red and white colors makes you feel gleeful and happy. I believe that the artist felt happy during the creation of this art piece. I think the artist wanted to show that after hard times of war, something joyous can happen, like returning home. I think this because artist created bare trees, he showed poorness, and life during the war this all represents hard times. These people experienced all of this but as soon as they see their soldier coming alive from the war, they forget about their hard

Writers used imagery as a way to show how graphic and disturbing war can be. In the poem (Doc. D) the author describes how he would be “ killing women or even watching women get killed”. This is used to show the violent and disturbing actions many people have to do while at war. Another author describes how he saw (Doc. B) someone “ yelling out, stumbling, and floundering like a man on fire”. This shows how on a daily basis many soldiers saw events that would mentally scar them. In Document D the author describes how he would have kill men and keep shooting them to make sure they were dead. This is used to show how graphic the life of war was. The use of imagery is an effective way to show how disturbing the war is.

An artist's job is to interpret, and express the aspects of life in a creative fashion. War has played a big part in shaping our human history, and many artists have portrayed their feelings about art through paintings, and even monuments. Whether it be to show; the joy of victory, the sorrow of defeat, or to educate the public on the gory realities of war. Art about war can also show us a great amount of history of the kinds of weapons that were used at the time. It is necessary for artists to interpret, and criticize all aspects of life; even ones as tragic as war, It can make the public more aware of what goes on in times of war.

Jacob Lawrence, an African American artist, produces two best-known collections like the Migration Series and War Series. Showing in the website, fourteen over sixteen panels are the War Series. Jacob’s War Series described his experiences that he joined the gallery during World War II. Jacob Lawrence painted the War Series when he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964. Drawing the outline of an object and filling in some uniform color, he was exposing the signified of situation and people’s feeling. War Series: The Letter is an art works I like the best. The picture shows a letter on a black table and a man who presses the black table by his hands. The man is lower his head. I can feel that after he reads the letter, he is very sad. Perhaps,

World War I was a war that shocked the world and brought about new emotions that created a large wave of “-isms” as well as the “lost generation” of writers. Modern art was catalyzed by World War I and without a thorough study of the various forms of art that resulted from it, modern art and the tremendous effect that World War I had on the people of the world cannot be fully understood. This historical investigation will cover a few aspects of the art that resulted from World War I so that a general idea of the emotions shared by the people of the world can be known. A few paintings that represent specific movements will be studied to understand the artistic movement. A number of museum exhibitions will be studied along with government websites, databases, and museum websites, especially from the Museum of Modern Art.

In the story “The War Photo No One Would Publish” by Torie Rose DeGhett the photographer (Kenneth Jarecke) takes gruesome photographs of deceased war victims. In 1991, the photo was taken of an Iraqi soldier struggling to pull himself out of a burning vehicle. The fire “incarcerated him to ash and blackened bone” (The War Photo No One Would Publish 1). After taking the photo, Jarecke wanted the image to be published but, due to its unsightly nature no one would publish it. DeGhett believed that this photo should be published he is trying to convince you as to why. The reason this shall not be posted is this soldier is somebody's family member; they do not want to see that image disseminated to the public.

This image has many important elements. In this image the sunlight is shining on the boy making him brighter in contrast to everything else in the photo. This directs our concentration to his face and the emotion he is presenting. It shows how serious and sad the moment is as well. The image appeals to an audience of all americans in the sense that we all have something invested in war. It may be something as simple as money or more valuable such as family members, friends, and neighbors. The image appeals to emotions and uses somewhat of a shock factor to do so. It also uses

A war won by pure heart and soul. Americans are underdogs in this war but in the end they come out on top. That’s the good news, but the bad is how the war was started. Paul Revere’s painting is extremely influential in starting the war. I feel it shows who the cowards are in this war, how and whose blood was shed in the massacre, and what effect this had on America.

I choose the Operation First Casualty image and it was photographed by Lovella Calica in 2007, Washington, DC. There was a group of soldiers who were members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) and their friends who are peace activists. They want to depict what they actually did in Iraq. Their friends played Civilians role and were detaining by the US soldiers. The people in IVAW dressed in military uniform of US soldiers and pointed the invisible gun at the crowd, who are their friends acting like Civilians, in the same way of their memory in the battle experience. Some detainees had a sand bags put over their heads. The other detainees’ hands were tied behind their backs. They all were acting to show the brutality of war and how it effects

Intensively striking war imagery emerges throughout the course of the text and therefore effectively joins its underlining fore.  Graphic images of the grotesque face of war characterize and develop the

The exhibit contained upwards of 20 photographs and at least 60 paintings. One of the most agreeable things about the works of art that I witnessed is that collectively, they assisted in recounting the sentiment that gripped the country during the war that threatened to sunder it. One could almost feel the initial enthusiasm as the war broke out, that was swiftly prolonged by numerous clashes over a period of years. There were works that alluded to an impending war, ones that depicted that war, and numerous ones that hinted at a hoped for ending in which the mightiness of the country would someday be restored.

Tremendous technological advance and tremendous slaughter leave an artistic waste land of atrocity, emasculation and pointing posters used to manipulate the public into recruiting men to join the military around the globe. Skilled illustrators in America, less inventive but artistic allegory’s in Canada and France and plain typography in Britain leave many artists busy with supporting the war effort. On the outskirts of war were a contingency of international peoples with little means and a negative view of European culture and war that chose to defect to Switzerland where they created the art movement known as Dada.

The piece of art that struck me the most was the soviet song "Wide is the Motherland." The song itself is soaring and incites a feeling

Images, such as paintings and photographs, are intensely visually striking and evoke strong emotions in those who view them.“Into the Jaws of Death” provides a perfect example of that intensity, having been taken by Robert F. Sargent during the early morning hours of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Even today the famous photograph evokes strong emotional reactions in many people who view it. This photograph served a purpose more significant than was realized at the time, to the point of becoming a pivotal point in support for the war effort. How was this accomplished? By conveying personal themes of heroism, patriotism, and mortality through devices such as angles, colors, uniforms, and proxemics.

In war, photography and art again serve the purpose of acknowledging and sometimes protesting suffering. In the First World War cameras were used for military intelligence, to capture an event. "The caption of a photograph is traditionally neutral informative: a date, a place, names." A photograph is supposed to just record what happened and not takes sides. However, "it is always the image that someone chose; to photograph is to frame, and to frame is to exclude." So the photograph is supposed to be neutral, but the photographer is still deciding what details to focus on. The caption has just facts on it, because supposedly that is what the photograph is recording. While it is true that photographs cannot explain everything themselves, they do serve as visual aids to, what otherwise be, a pallid world.
