Delacroix's Death Of Sardanapalus

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

Although examining art requires a huge knowledge, my intention in this essay is to analyze a piece of art, besides lyrics and the context, I’m going to examine it by following the steps presented by Alain de Botton.

The play RED by John Logan was a phenomenon. It portrays artist Mark Rothko at a serious time of his life, a time where he was becoming depressed and even considering suicide. The play deeply expresses Rothko’s conflicted mindset about the role of art. The conflict between his intellect and will for art represents an internal battle that artists may experience when creating. The play is also a good depiction about the ideas that society has on art... art appreciation. At the same time, the play shares an exhilaration of creating a piece of art. It is

Through studying and analyzing ‘Maestro’ ,written by Peter Goldsworthy, and by viewing and analyzing the film ‘Edward Scissorhands’ directed by Tim Burton, it is evident that the composers of these texts allow the audience to see distinctive experiences with our eyes as well as with our minds through distinctively visual. The many visual, written and literary techniques have the ability to create a significant and impacting visual.

Through the use of techniques and themes, a composer is able to create distinctively visual images when describing the setting and characters in detail which help us to understand and form meaning of what the composer is trying to convey in their texts. The use of techniques such as body language, symbolism, lighting, music and photographic background slides create distinctively visual images same with themes that are being used within the texts such as truth which is evident in the dramatic text ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ by John Misto, the song ‘Lose Yourself’ sang by Eminem, and the film ‘The Eye’ directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud featuring Jessica Alba. These three texts demonstrate how the responders are impacted and what is

Many composers use various techniques in which they communicate the distinctly visual. John Misto’s ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ and Alexander Kimel’s ‘The Action in the Ghetto of Rohatyn, March 1942’ represent significant issues in our world by using various literary and dramatic techniques. Through using these techniques it is evident that the composers of these texts allow the audience to ‘see’ with our eyes as well as with our minds. The many literary and dramatic techniques have the ability to create a visual that

In the intro to The Dramatic Imagination, John Mason Brown wrote that Robert Jones’ theatre was “an extension of life, not a duplication, a heightening rather than a reproduction” (Jones 1). Of course, we know that plays are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. However, Jones poses the question of what can designers do to heighten the “extraordinary circumstances” to the audience without interfering the message of the show? The Dramatic Imagination focused on most aspects of artistry in the theatre, including actors and designers. As someone who does not consider myself a designer, but is an actor with a liberal arts education, this was more helpful than only focusing on scenic design. Furthermore, it supported the need for intense collaboration between all theatre artists when working on a show, a highly valued characteristic of mine.

Distinctive images are often filled with various qualities, and these qualities often create interest and create unique experiences. The John Misto play ‘The Shoe Horn Sonata’ and the Craig Johnson film ‘The Skeleton Twins’ both demonstrate images which are distinct and help the audience figure out the two texts. Images, along with various film and dramatic techniques attract the eye and help give a positive response and often a feel of the characters and what is occurring. Without the use of images, the two texts and many other texts would not be distinctive visually.

The engulfing size of the painting (250.5 x 159.5 cm) drives the audiences mind into a hypnotic frenzy as they are overwhelmed by bright and sensual colours, which, have the ability to evoke deep emotions and realisations. Kandinsky has portrayed this through the disorientation of his own personal visions of society during the industrial revolution. The rough yet expressive outline of buildings, a rainbow and the sun gives reference to realism as it allows viewers to connect and understand underlying motifs and shapes yet is painted abstractly to move away from the oppressive and consumerist society. Thus, Kandinsky breaks boundaries through his innovative approach to his art-making practise concluded from his personal belief of ‘art for arts sake’. He believed that art should mainly convey the artist’s personal views and self-expressionism that translated a constant individuality throughout his work from an inner intentional emotive drive. This broke traditional boundaries as art in the renaissance period was meant to be a ‘narration’ or an artwork where an audience could learn and benefit from. This is evidently shown in Composition IV as it exemplifies Kandinsky’s inner feelings towards the industrialised society

Beginning a formal analysis by exploring the composition of the work, in this particular case, is to begin with how a viewer would experience the painting. The forms closest

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

Concerning color, there is a stark contrast between the figure on the painting and the background. More specifically, the figure of the woman is predominantly delineated in white color, especially pale, ashen white, as far her apparel and facial complexion are concerned, while there are also various hues of grey, with respect to her hair and accessory feather. These white and grey shades are vividly contrasted with the prevailing red and crimson hues of the background (viz. the drape, armchair, and table). Moreover, one can detect colors of dark green (jewelry), some beige on the left (pillar), and darker or lighter shades of blue on the right side of the canvas (sky), which all in concert and in addition to the subtle purple hue forming the sun or moon exude a certain dramatic sentiment. Also, there is brown, which often easily segues into gold (viz. books and attire details respectively). The main contrast of colors between white and red would be interpreted as serving the purpose of rendering the figure of the woman, and especially her face, the focal point of the work, despite, paradoxically enough, the lush red shades at the background. Bearing that in mind, the significance of the woman’s face will be enlarged upon later, when discussing aspects of her identity.

For a template of your very concentrated and precise experiment took three dramatic miniatures. As “Vinko Lozic suffered from the evil woman”, and Arcane ass “and Deception for fraud”, discreetly them "cleansed" of geography, noises coming from the environment, the colors of the epoch, and then her pointed to a forgotten witty and wise moralist concept of crime. The one who draws attention to its ancient role models, say Plautus or Terence, away from the classicist bones that he not rarely strung up. After this cleverly and skillfully performed "archaeological" work, the director pulls one, very risky move, which to her, however, opens the door to a successful theater form deliberately reduced and minimalist performances. And that she is achieved

It is when the artist begins to add nuances and harmonies to the melody that the work becomes inaccessible to the unlearned ear, thus isolating a portion of the audience. When works of art are created to express the universality of humankind they are more beneficial to it. As an example, this view is dissimilar to the view if Dante, who believed that the language of a work should be elevated. Tolstoy argues the more details that are given in the work the more opportunities for disconnection from its message the audience has (391).

As onlookers peer into the artworks in front of them, there is no question as to whether or not they considered what the artwork means, where it came from and what the artist was interested in who created it. The
