Fantasy In The Artist Trenton Doyle Hancock's Work

The tradition of storytelling is as old as civilization itself. Man has always been fond of adventures and legends. Tales from epics have been sung by bards in all parts of the world. The Iliad, as a story, has existed long before Homer put it to paper. Owing to our intellectual prowess, humans have been capable of deciphering countless number of phenomenon. However, that which we could not account for, we feared or worshiped, labeling it as other-worldly. When man assigned the unintelligible as supernatural, he was absolutely smitten. He created fantasy- a world full of fairies, gnomes, sprites, monsters and ghosts- all inducing emotions of either wonder, delight, or horror. Jack Zipes in his work Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, emphasizing on the origin of fairy tales, states, "Though it is impossible to trace the historical origins and evolution of fairy tales to a particular time and place, we do know that humans began telling tales as soon

In Morte d’Arthur, fantasy is used when a hand comes out of the water after Lancelot throws the sword into the water. This is a fantasy because hands do not miraculously appear from the water. Another fantasy is used in the story at the end when it says that King Arthur may or may not be dead. This is a fantasy because King Arthur's son killed him when he hit Arthur in the head, meaning that King Arthur is obviously dead. While in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight fantasy is used because a person cannot be green, people are different shades of brown. Also, another fantasy used in the story is when the Green Knight has his head blown off, but he still survives. This is a fantasy because he should have died after Sir Gawain blew his head off.

- Authors make use of details or patterns, portions to some prior story to add depth and texture to the story, bring out a theme, lend irony to a statement, and to play with the reader’s deeply ingrained knowledge of fairy tales.

As I explored the James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, I came across two paintings that really stood out to me because of their relevance to what we have been learning in class. In muted tones of blue and yellow, Harry Oosahwee’s (Cherokee) One Fall Morning depicts a Cherokee family in a barren rural landscape; animals and plants dot the landscape, and a small wooden house sits on the far right of the painting accompanied by a father, mother, and child to the left.

Art is something you can observe no matter where you are from, each piece of art withholds the thoughts of the painter and viewer that portrays a message. Thomas Cole a revolutionary painter started a new evolution of art that still inspires people to this day. Thomas Cole was born

In this painting we see an infant that is in a boat. Behind the infant there is an angel that is guiding the child out of a cave into a beautiful landscape.

Heroism, Magic and Retribution in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit A fantasy is an imaginary world where all things imaginable can be brought to life. J.R.R Tolkien portrayed fantasy through his use of skilled craftsmanship and a vivid imagination, which was presented in each piece of literature he wrote. In Tolkien's two stories The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings we see the theme of fantasy brought to life through three essential elements, heroism, magic and retribution.

Magic is a form of extraordinary power seemingly through a supernatural force; it is used in a combination of combat

20th Century Fantasy Fiction What! Fantasy is what dreams are made of. Fiction is what form these dreams take. Fantasy fiction meanwhile is a genre which has its roots in legends, myths, magic, supernatural and the impossible. It combines the ___of fantasy and the make-belief nature of fiction to create an out of the world (literally!) work of art. Fantasy fiction may not necessarily be only literature, it can be plays, movies, shows or even video games. It is everything that is missing in the real world. Also the thing about fantasy fiction is that we can never be sure that it doesn’t exist because of the sheer detailing and the fact that the magic world is hidden even in the story.
