Martin Luther King Sculpture Analysis

Martin Luther King Jr used the Aristotelian persuasive method of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade the clergymen to change their decisions of them stopping their non-violent protests. These persuasion techniques allowed King to infiltrate the minds of the clergymen in every aspect of their lives such as religion, white supremacy, and their own logic. He uses religion to shine a light on their perspective and approached problems within the letter that the Clergymen were unaware about. King, using these methods of persuasion, led the Clergymen to contemplate on their decisions which also led to them questioning their logic. Logos, the method of persuasion using logic, allowed King to address problems and bring forth those problems to

My analysis of how successful and how did this artwork affect the society and culture as its target

There is reason beyond doubt that Martin Luther King Jr. lost his life trying to restore lives of African-American people in the states. With the sculpture of Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents, soaring behind him, King used the rhetorical talents he had picked up as a Baptist preacher to elaborate how a “Negro is still not free. This speech was a passionate expressive discourse, counterfeited out of the language and essence of democracy. He told of the struggle ahead, emphasizing the importance of persistent action and peaceful protest. He stated that;

In this analysis ,”Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King’s was exhibiting his skills in the usage of Ethos, Logos ,and Pathos to respond to his fellow Clergymen who blamed him for organizing the blacks to demonstrate and make the whole world aware of how they are been treated in the Birmingham community. After reading King’s letter I have realized that he was such a passionate and strong man who was able to fight to the end to achieve his goal, had it not because of his actions the injustice will still be going on in this country up till now. Despite everything his opponents do to bring him down, he still stood strong to fight for the black community. I was also impressed about his work of art and the choice of words that he uses to make his letter a success. After I finished reading the essay I felt sad for him going to jail and the punished he experienced over there, but it takes one person’s sacrifice to save the rest.

I earned critical praise for work that explored religious and classical themes. I was born in NY and was known for sculpting abolitionist leaders and civil war heros. In 1867 I moved to Rome and used the neoclassical style to voice my concerns about the revolution. My work over the next few decades moved between African-American themes influenced by Catholicism.

The Martin Luther King sculpture appears to be slightly larger than life as I look up at it from the pedestal he stands on. Additionally, the pedestal below MLK has inscriptions that encourage the viewer to examine all sides of the sculpture. However, the life-size Blue Woman rests on a black chair that almost allows me to be eye level with her face,

The civil rights leader was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929. In 1934, however, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his 5-year-old son.

The sculpture on South Campus at Moravian College commonly known as Moravian Roots One and Two, who was created by Steve Tobin in 2010 has a significant meaning behind the moderately new sculpture. There are two of the same types of sculptures in the same place, just distance away from one another. This sculpture seems to be abstract, since we are taking the form of what it looks like to create a meaning, which can be something different in other people’s eyes. The sculpture is a dark black shade that naturally blends in with the surroundings, therefore making it blend in with its natural surroundings. The negative space between the roots are easily seen since its roots are based in various directions, showing us how far the roots of the sculpture and realistically Moravian has grown. There is no base or pedestals for these two sculptures who go hand in hand together, but it is roughly around five feet standing upward and going in sporadic directions, to signify differences. They are roundly shaped with carved pointed edges giving the image that it is like a tree root or branch, being slightly pointed on the top. The inner parts of the “tree roots” are textured off to have a little dots making it a bit rougher than the soft and smooth outer sides that we see from a distance. There seems to be no said real front or back side to this piece because the tree roots go in different directions, therefore giving the observer a chance to decide which way they would like to view it.

A monument typically contains much deeper meaning than what first meets the eye, and the Martin Luther King monument is no exception. The monument is symbolic from its the structure itself, to the quotes on it, and down to its street address. King’s legacy and values of justice, equality, and righteousness are presented in various ways throughout his monument.

Standing at 30 feet tall Martin Luther King Jr stands watching the city. all the way In Washington you can go visit the Memorial. It is made out of a special granite only found in China. It is unfinished, Just like martin, because martin never got to finish his road to equal rights. On the sides of martin are two big boulders. The boulder of peace and hope. On the back on one you can find millions of famous quotes on it, including “I have a dream” . The Martin memorial was and is the first sculpture that honors an African american for their work.

This memorial commemorates the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. The items featured in the museum include Dr King’s famous “I have a dream speech” and inscriptions from some his famous speeches. Visitors can take walking tours, watch live performances and special exhibitions.

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most well know symbols of the United States, across the world. For this reason I chose to analyze the dramatic effect it creates, and what methods it implores to invent this "universal" meaning. It is one of the strongest visual representations of the ideals which our country is founded upon. I intend to defend the argument that the Statue of Liberty posses the power of persuading human thought using the terms encompassed in Kenneth Burke's Pentad, shaping the definition of "America" for people through out the world.

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

This sculpture is of a women breast feeding her child. The face of the two people is elongated, as well as the breasts of the mother. This is common to all African Art because they wanted representation of what is being expressed. In this particular sculpture, a supernatural power is being called upon. The power has been asked to protect the mother and child, and to

In the other hand a cleaning duster. If the viewer is standing right in front of the sculpture, her gaze seems to be straightforward. Staring right at the observer. There’s also a sense of motion, as if she is going to step right to you. She might have something to say, her voice might want to be heard. She has a hopeless and overworked look on he face. It’s evident that she has been working hard because of the sweat on her body. Her mouth isn’t open while she works she is silent. The sculpture embodies the working class, the people who endure manual labor to serve the wealthy. It’s a social commentary of how the working class is not heard. These people are the 1%. They are what we call “the other”. These people are usually the victims of marginalization. The sculpture represents the American dream. How you can achieve your goals if you work hard enough. But that isn’t always true. Its part of the system. Generally you are born into the
