Fish Magic Analysis

Can someone give me a summary of this story or tell me what it is about?

The lines in The Monk By The Sea were applied by a technique called scumbling, in which one colour is applied in thin layers on top of another to create an ill-defined, hazy effect. The hazy effect produced by the scumbling produces a foggy feeling, almost clouded over thoughts and feelings as the monk stands by the rim of the water, perhaps having clouded thoughts as well. It makes the viewer feel the natural feelings that relates back to God as the Monk is a man of God. The simplicity of the painting allows the mind to wonder and draw conclusions of the meaning. As mentioned before, the colors produce a mood that one can interpret as well as the nature represented throughout it. Because there are four main concepts throughout the painting, which are the sky, land, ocean, and the figure

When I read fish cheeks article, I really do understand the frustration she felt. When you are trying to blend with culture different than yours; it could be really hard, but otherwise i have enjoyed reading the the article. It kept me engaged with story, the way she started of with talking about the features of her crush, and then she started to question her culture and his culture. Then she started to talk about the dinner, and how would it be not appetizing for her crush.

The use of the imagery here allows the reader to take a closer look and see the beauty in the barnacle. “And underneath two or three, / rages of green weed hung down” (20-21). Colors are also used again when the speaker states “The dramatic reds and blacks” (30). Yet another line using color states “and the pink swim bladder” (32).Using color makes the parts of the fish pop out to the reader. The entire poem is filled with visual imagery, but there are also lines that give the reader auditory and sensory imagery as well.

At first glance, the Red Fish looks like a decoration piece that someone would hang in their home or lake house for decoration. However, with a more in depth look, viewers will see that this painting illustrates much more than it appears. In 1990, Leonard Koscianski used a piece of canvas, 64’’x46’’ to paint the image of a fish out of water. Koscianski used oil and dark shades of red, orange, blue, green, and white to create the Red Fish. The Red Fish was painted vertically with the fish as the main focus point. Behind some green blade grass, a large red- orange fish appears to be leaping out of the water. The size of the fish helps show that the fish is the center piece of the painting. Behind the fish there is a small patch of land, filled with blade grass with two white house’s sitting off in the distance. Directly behind the houses is a section of woods. From left to right, the tree tops seem to follow and up and down pattern. The dark blue sky begins at the tree line and ends at the top of the painting. Throughout the sky there are patches of clouds that are an off white color. The contrast between the colors used by Koscianski show a lot of detail, but did not take away from the huge red- orange fish. Along with the color scheme, Koscianski used lines to add detail to the fish and to provide depth to the painting. With proper use of colors and lines, Koscianski was able to create the Red Fish. In 1991, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

Paul Klee will always be remembered as one of the world’s greatest modern artists. Not only through his inspiring artwork that was trendsetting for many generations of artists to come, but also his writings and lectures that were extremely valuable to the world of modern art laying the ground work for mastering color, style, and simplicity; Klee was truly one of the all-time greats at what he did. Klee was also one of the first artists to recognize the art of the self-taught and mentally ill. Klee said: “Only children, madmen, and savages, truly understand the in-between world of spiritual truth”.

As a child I loved reading and writing more than anything, but as I grew older, my desire to read and write became less and less. I eventually gained that (something) back and that got me to where I am now.

The work is privately owned, and displayed occasionally in Melbourne. It captures and stands towards the audience because of its contrastive colour. It is almost pure black, with spots of yellow. The materials he used were also significant, and the way he distorted the face of the fish, gives a sense of almost cubism. The seemingly random twigs which stick out from the fish, give an impression of danger. The overall atmosphere the fish gives, is very dark and evil. He acts like an omen and a forewarning of environmental disaster.

The Marble Champ” by Gary Soto & “The 14th. Goldfish,” by Jennifer L. Holm, Both share many similarities. One theme I can make out of both stories is “Never Give Up.” One is a story about a scientist who is stuck as a teenager because of a mishap in his invention. The other story is about a girl who is good at all things but sports and has to work hard to get good at it. These stories both share similar themes. One, because they both are determined to become successful. Two, they both work hard in what they believe in. Three, they both have motivations that help them Never Give Up.

Salience is used in order to make the fish appear overpowering and as if it is casting a shadow over the character. This draws our attention to the idea that depression is a constant struggle, as the fish shadows her every move. With the assistance of language forms and features the audience can not only see the image of a girl standing under a giant fish, but also they are also able to understand a deeper meaning the author is trying to convey. The image enables the audience to feel sympathetic towards the character as they discover how common and painful it is to suffer from mental illness. This image reflects the ignorance throughout society opening them up to mental illnesses that many people struggle

Some of her works include “Radioactive Cats”, “Fox Games”, “Walking on Eggshells”, and “Shimmering Madness”. After seeing Ms. Skoglund’s work in the book Artforms , I was totally clueless as to what she was expressing. The particular illustration I’m referring to is “Revenge of the Goldfish”. If the name alone sets you back, don’t worry you’re not the only one. She has an eerie way of taking ordinary things, fish in this case, and forming a scene in which no one could possibly think of.

Three specific details that indicate that the artist is a close observer are one, the blood marks on the duck that one can assume his son shot at in order to eat on their way to their trade point. Two, if observed closely, one can see a flock of birds flying toward the sunlight draw lightly to demonstrate the illusion of afar. Three, one can see native symbols on the quilt that the son is leaning on. The painting is painted as if the viewers are on land watching the father and son rowing the boat towards possibly the end of the Mississippi river. The water is clear and it reflects everything in the boat. Both the father and son are calm. The son is lounging and the father is smoking a pipe giving off a calm mood. The artist uses curves to help demonstrate the son’s boredom by making look as if he’s slouching. Bingham made the father and son’s body to connect and make a semicircle. Bingham uses spring colors, happy colors, to portray a relaxed mood. He uses soft colors, for instance the soft red color of the father shirt and the matte color black of the cat’s fur the keep the tranquil feeling.

The primary focus of this section is to explain the “act of painting.” Flack begins her book with notes on the creative process and what it means to be an artist. Everything from the perception of color to confronting a blank canvas is addressed in this section. Audrey Flack briefly touches on the spiritual

‘I think this is his best work,’ a man says to his companion, ‘more nuanced than the seascapes.’ His voice releases me, and I move on to the next painting. A naked girl, seen from above, lies on her back in a boat. Her hair coils like copper wire around her head and her hands are full of stones. She’s held within the curved sides of the boat, but the boat balances perilously upon the crest of a giant wave. The girl is sleeping, unaware of the danger she is
