Once we arrived, we looked up possible exhibitions that we could attend. A museum employee recommended African textiles. After hearing the title, I immediately expected this exhibition to have complicated and precise components to the tiles. African textiles are, in fact, made of wool or fine animal hair in a weave patterns. Although the exhibit was interesting, it wasn’t what peaked my interest.

They didn’t have any permanent collections in the museum, but one of the collection exhibits was on a theme about wool rugs that had acid dyes, ink, or watercolor. All together in one room there were four wool rugs created by Anna Betbeze. They all include large abstract paintings within the rugs. The rugs have burns and are bleached in some areas. There is a purple rug named All That’s Left with burgundy and different purples spots, it was created with acid dyes. The second rug named Mimosa is yellow with whites and light brown areas, which are acid dyes and watercolors. The next one is created with acid dyes and india ink, it is a light beige color with black, blues, purples, pinks, orange, and brown. This specific wool rug is named Black

All artists are influenced by the culture they are from. Our experiences and the environment in which we were raised shapes us, and thus the works we produce as artists.

The artists that will be discussed are Janet Fieldhouse, who is influenced by her Torres Strait Islander heritage and Aboriginal artist Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher.

In The Great Gatsby, the color blue represents sadness and loneliness through its appearances on human features and also other inanimate objects.

The colors change as the story evolves and defines turns in the story such as when her dress turns white when she searches for the wicked witch and helps psychologically associate Dorothy as being good, protected and pure for her conflict against the wicked, good vs evil. Her dress is blue in the beginning which communicates loyalty and purpose. Once she reaches Oz its a pretty silk green dress. Green signifies growth. Additionally the closer to Oz Dorothy and her friends get- the more dark and dreary & scary their environment becomes. The forest before they reach Oz represents obstacles, fear, uncertainty and boundaries. The goggles required to enter Oz represent visual trickery and the color green represents growth. The color usage is essential for The Wizard of Oz to create it's appearance verses reality and good verses evil essence and essential to the ability to relate to evolution of Dorothy's experiences and lesson to learn. The color usage in significant symbolism is the driving force of the story in terms of interpretation of details, how they relate together and the relateability the story offers the

Chan opens the article with a brief description of the QIanlong dynasty great accomplishments in the ceramic arts, emphasizing the flamboyant style of the vases.

He shows parallels and

In the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald the author's repeated use of colors indicate significant events and represent mood, specifically with Jay Gatsby's yellow car, Doctor T. J. Eckelburg's blue eyes, and the gray color of the Valley of Ashes. Together these three, along with other events or objects represented by color, are important in explaining the storyline to the reader **through creating moods and themes**.

Green is traditionally used as the color of envy and also represents the growth of the spring when the grass wakes up from its winter

Red is very widely accepted as the color for anger and passion and yellow is very often the color related to happiness. Of course, colors can often symbolize or foreshadow certain events or traits in characters as well. In medieval times, the color green was always associated with witchcraft or demons. The fact that the color green played such a prominent role in the story is probably due to the fact that Morgan Le Fay was the one who created the Green Knight and who orchestrated the whole test for Gawain.

Heirlooms are essential parts of a family’s heritage and kinship. Family heirlooms can be jewelry, a decoration, or possibly even a quilt. “The Century Quilt” has a theme of the origins of heirlooms by using symbolism of the squares on a quilt and by using imagery to express a memory of a character. The theme of “The Century Quilt” is one of separation from family either by the family or by voluntarily excluding oneself from the family. “...the blanket found my sister’s bed-

At one point, Vladek remarks to Artie that “About Auschwitz, nobody can understand” (64). Is Maus more the story of a son trying to understand his father or trying to understand the Holocaust? Why do you think Art Spiegelman chose to include himself and the interview process so prominently in the graphic novel? Does this help or hinder the narrative?

My favorite colours are yellow and black. These colours compliment the sage archetype perfectly. Yellow means enlightenment and wisdom. Sages seek to find wisdom, they bring enlightenment to others about subjects that they might not know about. I find myself doing this a lot, trying to teach others about the subject as I’m very knowledgeable or very wise in that subject.

In Praise of Shadows, Jun’ichiro Tanizaki discusses about traditional Japanese aesthetics in contrast to the changes occurring in architecture, drama, food, beauty and other aspects of Japanese culture in conjunction with the rush of progress; the adoption of western values. This created an unbalanced clash of two contrasting culture- the western’s bright progressive and aggressive modern technology challenging Japanese’s softer, quieter aesthetic tradition.

During the t’ang Dynasty the Chinese were brought into close contact with the civilizations of India. The Middle East and central Asia, and their art forms were influenced and greatly enriched by these contacts. From the Sassanid empire, in what is now Persia, came a form of finely wrought metalwork which made use of delicately incised designs of flowers, animals and curving lines. This silver piece is good example of the Chinese adaption of the

What I, never thought about is furniture were consider a form of art. I was taken back to the many different styles that were on display. The two pieces I chose are from two different time periods 1800s and 1900. Both pieces resemble each other in their own way, with some fine details. What drew to each piece was the detail and craftsmanship. The fact, they are hand maid and have deep rich color tones. It is masculine, but has some feminine elements of each piece. My first view was the style of the cabinet. The color and detail caught my attention, giving me a sense of down home comfort. The chisel marking gave the cabinet a theme, and the latch played off of the chisel marking as well. The Chair complements the cabinet. The color of the leather seat and the circular buttons played off of the cabinet. The two piece are for two different centuries and can be placed together in any room as if they were made to be paired together from the same century.
