Literary Analysis : Elle With Cupcakes

The effect that forms are that of biometric feel beside the people they have more of geometric feel. The colors do impact this artwork greatly because each color is harsh and sot of clash with one another. The colors are black, gold, red, brown, white and light blue. The colors are mixed. The color on the mother's dress is a harsh black versus that of her children which are every light and airy. The hue of the piece of art is very light in some spaces but in other places it can be very dark. The saturation is very different in many places if you look at the woman's dress and in the dog, you can see that it is very saturated but if you look at the two girl's dresses you can tell that its less saturated. When

In the short story “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, there is a great deal of literary elements used to enhance the story. For example, imagery is used to draw the reader 's attention further into the story by having them see it happening in their head and allegory is used to pull the reader away from the story by referencing things that happened somewhere else. While these two literary elements are both used to magnify different parts of the story, as well as counterbalance each other, the literary device that this essay will be focused on is symbolism. While it appears in many parts of the story one of the most obvious uses of

The image I chose for this paper is titled A Rose. The image is a painting painted in oil on a canvas and was painted by Thomas P. Anshutz. The painting was produced in Pennsylvania during 1907. I researched this image on ARTstor by using the term realism and then I narrowed down my search by selecting a filter to return paintings as well as setting the geography filter to North America. The painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection and is on display in the American Wing in the gallery of Images of Woman from 1880 to 1910.

This artwork appears to be an abstract piece made from magazine clippings to create a collage. The artwork is a vertical piece that measures approximately 17 x14. It focuses in on the subject of a girl who is created out of neutral colors. She stands out against the rainbow background. In the background each clipping has a different element and pattern, but they all work in unison creating a rainbow background.

William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily” carries a theme represented by a dying breed of that era, while using symbolism to represent tragedy, loneliness and some form of pride, the story also shows how far one will go to have the approval of others and the pursuit of happiness.

Because of her variety of hues in the work, she uses muted colors to avoid a highly saturated painting. Her use of blue throughout brings the whole work together. The splash of red orange in the background helps create balance and unity in the work. Because red is complimentary to green, it makes the flowers stand out against the green bushes. This helps to balance the work without calling much attention to the background. The background in the work also seems to be slightly blurred which calls focus on the subject, thus creating less distractions for the viewer.

Living in worlds of racial and societal oppression had the effect on 4 different characters in 3 different books. Each character was impacted differently, and as a result, sought for a solution through different adventures. For Janie, she went through 3 different husbands in an attempt to find love and to please her Grandmother and the society. For Huck and Jim, they ran away from their problems. Huck wanted to get away from his society, and feel free to think in his own way and grow on his own, and not from the help of the law or people around him. Jim wanted to be free and so he ran away from slavery. For Maya, her oppression helped her grow as a human being, and all of the experiences that she went through while growing up had helped to

A common theme throughout A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is the misconception that money and wealth is needed to bring happiness to a family. Because of the death of Big Walter, the husband of Lena Younger (who is referred to as Mama), the family is getting a $10,000 check from health insurance. Walter Lee is set on the fact that he needs the money to open up a liquor store with his friends Bobo and Willie Harris. Mama does not want him to open up a liquor store, but Walter feels that the family will never improve or gain wealth if he does not get this chance. Walter Lee is obsessed with money and is convinced on the fact that happiness comes from having a lot of money, but soon realizes that family and pride are concepts that can bring

In a house full of kids still learning, a mother is expected to help them gain from their mistakes. From supporting their dreams, to simply giving them enough to money to provide for such things. In Lorraine Hansberry’s drama, A Raisin in the Sun, Lena Younger shows her kids wrong from right while living in the state of poverty. When a $10,000 check makes its way into the Younger household, the families morals are flipped upside down. With Walter and Beneatha scavenging for help with their dreams, Lena, commonly named Mama, gives up her husband's “flesh” to make their desires come true. In the end, Mama makes it her job as the matriarch to care, support, and provide for her family, even when she doesn’t agree with the dreams of her children.

Concerning color, there is a stark contrast between the figure on the painting and the background. More specifically, the figure of the woman is predominantly delineated in white color, especially pale, ashen white, as far her apparel and facial complexion are concerned, while there are also various hues of grey, with respect to her hair and accessory feather. These white and grey shades are vividly contrasted with the prevailing red and crimson hues of the background (viz. the drape, armchair, and table). Moreover, one can detect colors of dark green (jewelry), some beige on the left (pillar), and darker or lighter shades of blue on the right side of the canvas (sky), which all in concert and in addition to the subtle purple hue forming the sun or moon exude a certain dramatic sentiment. Also, there is brown, which often easily segues into gold (viz. books and attire details respectively). The main contrast of colors between white and red would be interpreted as serving the purpose of rendering the figure of the woman, and especially her face, the focal point of the work, despite, paradoxically enough, the lush red shades at the background. Bearing that in mind, the significance of the woman’s face will be enlarged upon later, when discussing aspects of her identity.

Next is the use of color, or lack thereof. The colors in the background are very quiet and muted, mostly subdued blues and grays with hints of a deep red and brownish yellow peeking though. The colors used for the figure are browns and tans, almost as if the was painted with mud, like she is all-natural and from the earth. The range of colors would seem to have a cool tone if you were looking at them on a painter’s palette but the arrangement of color on the canvas gives the piece a warm feeling.

The feel of the picture lends to emotions of unease and recognition of sexual innuendo. The colors of the painting are vibrant, but for the most part are dark. The heavy tones and shades of the colors are well balanced throughout the piece. It can be noted that the brightest shades of color are found on areas depicting the actual woman. In areas that are understood as landscape, the colors are more dreary and create a sense of instability. Even Hess observes that the

The painting by Henry Matisse, Woman in a Blue Dress, 1937 does a great job of displaying the element of color. The main colors present are red, yellow, and blue. These three colors make up the primary triad. Blue can be clearly seen covering most of the woman’s dress as well as in the paintings in the background. The color red is seen in the wall in the back towards the top of the picture and in what seems to be a chair that the woman is sitting in. Finally, yellow is present on the outlines of the blue paintings and around the head of the woman. A little bit of complementary colors is seen at the center top of the painting where green and red meet slightly. Overall, the painting is mainly composed of the three primary colors red, yellow,

Color and technique is another major aspect of The Kiss. In creating this painting, Klimt gained inspiration from his travels to the Byzantine, the mosaics in Ravenna in particular. This inspiration is reflected in his use of gold and the arrangement of shapes. While the majority of the painting was done using golden hues (he uses actual gold leaf to achieve this affect), Klimt manages to apply all of the colors necessary to achieve intrigue and convey his message clearly. He uses vibrant colors such as; blue, purple, and green in the flowerbed. He strategically uses the gold by integrating it into the robes and vines that swathe over the figures and over the woman’s feet. He continues his theme of contrast and juxtaposition in his use of complimentary colors. The green in the flowerbed contrasts with the red in the woman’s dress, making her dominate and stand out. This contrast is even shown in the skin tones of the figures. The man has an olive complexion and the woman has a peach complexion, making her stand out

The formal aspects of the kiss contain an array of colors. The piece of art contains a very light sided color theme as its primary color is a golden yellow. Around the figures heads he adds leafs to the males head in a crown shape to show that he is important, like the leader of the situation, he also adds flowers to the females hair to emphasize the Beauty of the woman. As you go down the male, his uniform seems to be laced with darker elements along with the gold color to outline his side of the art and separate him from the female. As you go down the females side she has flowers all over her dress to separate her from the males darker side of the clothes, and outline the dress she is wearing. the display of colors on the female range from mostly lighter colors to few dark colors in the flowers. and as you go further down you notice the
