Comparison This study compares and contrasts the work of Ida Applebroog and Krzysztof Wodiczko, who used different styles to address the theme of power. The two artists used different figures to represent human beings in their work, which were comical images of political leaders. Ida Applebroog has frequently used figures such as mythic beast, everyman, and woman to portray her political characters (Sultan 71). These imagined figures have enabled her to develop the theme power. On the other hand, Krzysztof Wodiczko used architectural facades and national monuments to represent human beings in order to pass his message to the audiences, and to speak unspeakable political things (Jan 278). Born in 1929 in …show more content…
Krzysztof Wodiczko has been able to use black humor and irony in his work in order to communicate his message to the audiences. Ida used stage-setting, irony, and humor to bring out the theme of power more clearly to her audiences. She has also been able to use pictorial conventions, appropriation, and elements that seem desperate to create modern social and political thought. Born in 1943 in Poland, Krzysztof Wodiczko also created many images that were political charged in order to advance his theme of power. He was born by a Jewish mother during World War II, a period that painted a negative image about violence and war in his entire life. He also interacted with the survivors of Hiroshima atomic bomb, a fact that that shaped his view towards the negative impact of power contest in the lives of ordinary people. Krzysztof Wodiczko used color video in his projections in order to make his work more appealing to his audiences, as well as to show the moods of the people in different times. In terms of proportion, Krzysztof Wodiczko uses monuments and public buildings as backdrops for his work. In 1996, he introduced motion and sound in his work in order to make it more captivating to his audiences. He questions the monumentality of public buildings in order portray political issues such as democracy, human rights, alienation and violence in the modern …show more content…
Krzysztof Wodiczko can be termed as a modern artist since he used video projections and large-scale slides in most of his artworks (Krzysztof Wodiczko 273). The main benefit of video projections is that the artist is able to make his work visual and real compared to drawn or painted pictures. The medium also enables the artist to represent 3-dimensional objects that may not be possible in other mediums. The two artists use lines to make their work more visible and clear to their audiences. The two artists were also able to use modern technology in order to reach their audiences more effectively. Krzysztof Wodiczko used it throughout his work, but Ida Applebroog adopted later in her work in order to produce modern photographic prints. Ida Applebroog uses ordinary images to show how power is exercised in different forms such as government over its citizens, men over women, parents and children, doctors and patients among other dependent groups in the
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

Easily one of the best women’s basketball players to go through Michigan State University's program. The five foot eight inch guard from Freeland, Michigan was the “ace in the hole” for Michigan State's program for the past four years. Gathering over 2,000 points, setting the all time scoring record, securing the most points in a single game record, and the most three point baskets made in a single game. This superstar received BIG TEN honors all four years of her time at MSU. Jankoska graduated in May, 2017, with a degree in Psychology, and had high hopes of being drafted into the Women’s National Basketball Association, a week prior to graduation. As every college, high school, and even youth league basketball player dreams of being good enough to play in the WNBA, only a few ever receive the opportunity to actually play. Jankoska was one of the few. First round pick (ninth overall), Chicago Sky, saw the talent Jankoska had worked so hard to obtain. Jankoska moved to Chicago to prepare for her first season in the WNBA. She played in a few preseason games, so her coaches could see if her skills were sharp enough to play this season, or if she needed a year off. Jankoska’s off season work, time, and effort payed off and she made the Chicago Sky’s Roster for their season opener, against Minnesota on May 14, 2017.
In the poem, The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up, by Peter L. Fischl, the author informs the reader that the world should have seen the horrible and dehumanizing behavior of the Nazis and their Nazi machine gun bullets. In the poem, the little Polish boy represents all of the Jews that were being held concentration camps and those that had to endure the severe brutality and torture from the Nazis. In order to draw attention to the inhumanity of the German society at that time, Fischl advises the reader that he would paint a picture, “A painting so bright to blind the eyes of the world” (Stanza 11) to remember the little Polish boy. Peter L. Fischl instinctively informs us about him want to make a concerto of
When she utilises the modes of appeals, they are subtle within the texts, which leads the reader to analyse as they read. She conveys ideas of internalised oppression, involuntarily imposed upon to follow strict social rules, the act of people erasing cultural heritage, as well as the importance of embracing personal heritage.
Spiegelman has presented his father’s memoirs in a creative way by portraying racial groups as animals and by making the story into a graphic novel. By presenting it in comic form, Art Spiegelman is able to better capture the emotions of those in the graphic novel. Not a dedication in the conventional sense, the book eternalizes the memoirs of Vladek and those around him.

Writing will and may be a powerful weapon to own Robert P. Yagelski once mentioned literacy matters, which is true in such a big amount of alternative ways. Writing contains a heap of forms, for instance, individuals write for a living some write to specific their everyday emotions, each format depends on the author himself. I personally assume I’m additional a verbal person than an author I’ve invariably been unhealthy at writing however that doesn’t I can’t pick up, as Robert p. yagelski mentions ‘’one reason that such a big amount of individuals struggle with writing is that they don’t sufficiently perceive the character of writing''.Being a decent author doesn’t happen overnight like everything else apply is vital forever downside.

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

The central theme to this essay will be to answer the question “Discuss the roll that graphic design played in political/social change in a specific period”. This essay will look into what Hitler’s propaganda meant for the Nazis and the population of Germany. Propaganda is the dissemination of information to influence or control large groups of people. In totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, propaganda plays a significant role in consolidating power in the hands of the controlling party.

Men is a civic animal, or as said by Aristoteles, “zoon politikón”, a political animal, this means that humans, unlike animals have the ability to relate politically, to create life in cities; to live with the Other. Kapuscinski, in his book The Other, defines the Other as someone exterior to one’s self that possess different values, culture and norms. For the author, he means generally non-Europeans or non-whites. Along the passages he describes the evolution of the interactions with the Other, and he develops Lévinas anthropological approach to the subject. He advances the thesis that knowing the Other is a movement towards Good and to a better understanding of oneself. However, how do I, a Mexican student raised as French living in Trump’s
In the film, The Pianist, Roman Polanski depicts the struggle of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a polish pianist to survive World War Two against all odds. The central theme of the film, that humans are capable of creating both beauty and destruction, forces the viewer to question human nature and reflect on the beauty of music and destruction of war. Polanski manipulates our emotions through the extensive use of a variety of techniques such as: lighting, characterisation and sound. Music is used to evoke an emotional response in the audience while lighting is used to contrast the Germans and Jews . The true-to-life characterisation creates an accurate representation of the war and as such enhances the effect of pivotal events on the audience.
Morality is “the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior” (Oxford Dictionary n.d.). Szymborska’s perspective on morality can be seen in the poems Parable and In Praise of Feeling Bad About Yourself. She uses symbolism to convey her view point that people are intrinsically immoral but at the same time that the awareness of being immoral is a defining feature of human nature. The poem Parable uses public and worldly symbols such as the ocean and the desert island while In Praise… contains bestial symbols to portray her perspective on the aspects of human morality which she deems intrinsic to humanity. Collectively, these poems allow the reader a glimpse into Szymborska’s outlook on life and allowed her to offer a different perspective to the reader, potentially challenging the reader’s beliefs on morality or imparting a new perspective onto the reader.
Zdzislaw Beksinski’s work is not explainable, thus filling my mind with more questions than I can bear to answer. This first piece that I stopped on consists of a skull like head bringing me to this weird horror spooky feel since the skull has a couple of creases wedged on the side like in this person's lifetime there was many battles that were fought. The leaf that lodged its way into the mid face region is a bit nightmarish to say the least reminding me of how life can lodge its beauty where it is not always welcomed. There are two pedals covering the supposed locations of the eye sockets with the possible flowers stem poking out of the midface region of this skull. The Artist Review from Rumination website suggests that, “Zdzislaw spent
