Fantasy In The Artist Trenton Doyle Hancock's Work

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.

Imagery is used by many authors for mutiple things in their text. Tim O’Brien uses imagery throughout his text to convey tones in the story. In his story, one can find the multiple examples of imagery. O’Brien uses imagery to portray the tones of disgust and despair. All great authors know the perfect words to say to help the readers create the image in their mind.

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. Thomas Cole paints the landscape very rich; you get o a sense of warmth and calmness. There is beautiful green land, big mountains, and different types of flowers.

The use of imagery that will help the reader to develop a deeper understanding of the imaginary world that the author has created. These images will create a mental picture of the time and place and will allow the plot to play out in the readers mind like an internal

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.

There is one prominent artist that was known to be inspiration of Cole’s work named Asher B. Durand. Asher B. Durand was an artist born in Maplewood, New Jersey and shared the same style of art the Thomas did, Asher was a matter of fact the one to discover Thomas after Thomas’s catskill painting collection, their aspirations to do big things and connected style of art led both Asher and Thomas to become best friends through the durations of both of their lives. The second inspiration of Thomas’s work was the landscapes that he saw when traveling throughout Europe and the United States, many of his most famous painting present a beautiful landscape but with a story, it was as if he took the landscape and made it a fantasy world. Between the years 1829-1831 Cole returned to the United Kingdom to study, spend time with his family and be closer to Italy and France, these years treated Cole very well as he built his reputation and stature in this duration. In the winter of 1835-1836 Cole proceeded on his work of Catskills working on the collection of paintings called “The Course of Empire,” but his views were more impactful with his concerns regarding the impact of industrialization and its impact on the beautiful landscapes that inspired his work. Thereafter in 1836 Cole met a woman in New York by the name of Maria Bartow and on the date November 22, 1836 Cole married her in the house where he resided in Cedar Grove, 2 years pass and on the date January 1, 1838 Cole and his wife Maria had then given birth to their first child named Theodore Alexander Cole. From here on Cole continued his work and noticed he was becoming a public figure the only problem was

Imagination has the ability to empower individuals, shaped by our experiences we are able to transcend past our physical and psychological bounds and enter a world that does not conform to our ideas of reality. Tim Burton explores this through his film Big Fish in which the imagination is portrayed as an attribute of great importance when faced with misfortune but also when content. Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also conveys the significance that the imagination has when faced with adversity in all aspects of our lives.

A piece of artwork in this case is created and invented in manner that the viewer is lost away from the world of reality. The Invention and Fantasy theme of art uses the concept of imagery as most of this type of art work usually drifts the viewer from the state of reality into the dream world.

Imagery is visually descriptive, or figurative language in literary work. A clear example of imagery is shown in the story “The Veldt”. "Now the hidden odorophonics were beginning to blow a wind of odour at the two people in the middle of the baked veldtland. The hot straw smell of lion grass, the cool green smell of the hidden waterhole, the great Rusty smell of animals, the smell of dust like a red paprika in the hot air. And now the sounds, the thump of distant antelope feet on grassy sod, the papery rustling of vultures. A shadow passed through the sky. The shadow flickered on George Hadley's upturn sweating face.” This quote gives you such description that you can picture and almost feel and see what the character is experiencing. Imagery is a strong literary device which receives the author's descriptions into

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. Heroism is shown through the character's courage and bravery in situations where conflict arises and this enables them to be seen in a new light. Magic is a form of extraordinary power seemingly through a supernatural force; it is used in a combination of combat

Imagery is used by many writers and this is when the writer uses visually descriptive or figurative language.

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.

I’d like to start this paper with the questions it asks and answers: What is fantasy literature? Are there any similarities between works of fantasy and myths?

All over the world, art is used to represent many things, especially the artist's imagination
