Hampton Vs. Thomas.

Preston’ s artwork is very relatable because she takes inspiration from the natural environment and we are able to see parts of her work in our day to day lives. Preston’s works provoke feelings of home and calmness, because of how close they are to reality and to make objects look real she uses, light and shade, colour and dimension, texture and softness to create a complete, complex

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.

What citizen can defend himself in court if they are shot dead by a law enforcement officer even before apprehension? The case of Tennessee v. Garner 471 U.S. 1 (1985) is a highly significant case in our nation’s criminal justice history. This case establishes a current day guideline for how a citizen’s Fourth Amendment rights and a law enforcement officer’s pursuit of a suspect may legally intersect. By interpreting the word seizure under the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights to include the seizing of the defendant’s life. Tennessee v. Garner established that the use of deadly force might only become applied by law enforcement in instances where the officer has probable cause to believe the suspect to be a danger to either the public

Artists use their artworks to communicate different meanings and transfer specific messages to the audience. Their artworks can be presented in different forms like architecture, drawing, painting, sculpture, pottery and many other forms. Each artwork contains a specific meaning which is usually based on the artist 's beliefs, culture, identity and the nature surrounding us. Rona Rubuntja from the Hermannsburg Potters, Bronwyn Oliver, Christo and Jeanne Claude each presented their art in different forms but they all communicate meanings and ideas to the audience. Rona Rubuntja who is a senior member of the Hermannsburg Potters and her famous pottery work ‘I 'm Black’ for the exhibition ‘Our Land is Alive’ at the National Gallery of

On March 8-9, 1862 the battle of Hampton Road took place as one of the many battles during the Civil War. It was between the Monitor and the Merrimack. It was apart of the Confederate Union to break down the wall of southern ports. It was located of of Sewells Point off of Hampton Road, Virginia. The reason for the battle was because the Union placed a barrier blocking off ocean access for the confederate side. There was a total of six-hundred people dead. One hundred was the Confederate while five-hundred of the Union died. They fought using Ironclad ships, steam-propelled warships. The two ships were called The USS Merrimack and The USS Monitor. The USS Merrimack had been resting at the bottom of the the Elizabeth River and used to be called

I went to the Art Walk event in Newberg and stopped by the Art Elements Gallery. I wanted to find a work that calls to me. At first I didn’t find much. The art was nice, but I didn’t get any special feelings on them. Finally, I spotted an oil painting on a wrapped canvas. It was called Full Moon. The work was created by Oregon citizen, Marilyn Higginson. It’s still hard to express what I felt when I saw this painting, but I felt a sense of peace when I saw the tranquil setting of the painting. My aesthetic scanning will give a description of the work, analyze the craftsmanship, the art elements, the art principles, and give my interpretation on the work.

In addition, I will examine the differences between male and female sexuality and how each tended to be perceived and treated by society. Then, I will look at prominent female artists and their personal experiences and beliefs on feminism and the female in their art focusing on how it tended to be received along how male artists responded to it. Mainly, I will be analyzing the clash of sexualized images in art, focusing on the differences not only between male made art versus female art, but the differences in the women’s art community, as well. What are the reasons and goals for women to use a “sexualized image” of women in their art versus

Jasper John’s 1983 artwork of Racing Thoughts and Byron Kim’s 1991 Synecdoche are both in the exhibited as part of the Whitney Museum’s: Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney Collection. Applying encaustic process, which is known as a hot wax painting, Jasper John created this screen-print with wax crayon on collaged cotton and linen. Jasper John describes this piece as a series of images that ran through his mind while he was lying in the bathtub. He included items he saw around the room and things he was thinking about. Some of the elements in this piece are his hanging khaki pants, the running faucet, a nail on the wall, a dirty window, a vase and a decorative piece on a piece of furniture. Until you read the artist’s description it is difficult to tell that the white smear of paint is, evoking a feeling of disorientation. His arrangement of his images is seemingly affixed to the faux-wood grain background with trompe l’oeil tape, thumbtacks, and a protruding nail. The scale of images in Jasper’s Racing Thoughts appears to be scaled to real life. The texture of the painting evokes feeling of an antique surrounding like a bathroom in a third world country. In addition, the colors and patterns in this painting, display how he is a person with many things going through his mind at the same time with unorganized thoughts. A panel of Byron Kim’s, 1991, Synecdoche is displayed in the Whitney Museum one section out of a four hundred panel ongoing project depicting the

Her self expression through painting is used as an outlet for her expression as the new individual she has grown to be.

Since its founding, the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) has been exhibiting and collecting works by contemporary artists. They have an ever-expanding collection of 20th- and 21st-century art that I had the pleasure of viewing, following its remodel in 2012. In addition to the permanent collection, a new innovative experience called the Black Box gallery introduces a new way of viewing the works of contemporary artists. The Black Box allows the viewer not only to see the work in a new way, playing with light but also hear and experience images in motion. The exhibit I went to see was curated by Kristen Hileman, the senior curator of contemporary art, and it features two screen-based works as opposed to displaying one as it usually does. The two artists featured were Kara Walker and Hank Willis Thomas.Within their works, both artists discuss the feeling and experiences associated with being black in America, specifically the historical significance of the legacy of slavery.

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

The background has areas of dark and light that may be representing a dark part of this woman's life and the light area showing awakening in this woman's soul. To me the woman in the painting is staring out into the world and realizing that there is so much out there for her. That she can walk out of there and not be lost any more. Mrs. Mallard felt the same way. In the room she realized that she can now live her life on her own the way she wants to. She walked out of the room with a sense of

I think Thomas Moore’s Utopia and Sir Walter Raleigh’s True Pictures and Fashions are very similar. Both describe a relatively unknown group of people who live in a faraway place. Both books examine the lifestyles of the people who live in an unfamiliar world. They both are examples of accounts given by people who live outside the culture they are analyzing. A difference between the texts is that Sir Walter Raleigh actually visits the “New World” that he describes in True Pictures and Fashions. Conversely Thomas Moore never visited the island of Utopia. Instead he used a fictional character, Raphael Hythloday, to describe the ideal island of Utopia. Additionally, the island of Utopia is not a real place and is a creation of Thomas Moore’s imagination.

(Glenn Brown UK) In Delacroix’s version of the painting, the woman seats herself upon a wooden pedestal with velveteen backdrop. With her eyes adverted from the viewer, she beckons her left hand. This is seen as a sign of invitation, yet her expression displays the hesitation that she harbors. In the reproduction of Delacroix’s painting, Brown alters the subject by cropping her head, widening her torso, widening her feet, and omitting her wooden pedestal.
