Museum Visit Paper – Ante Meridian by Frederick Waug

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

The viewer is at the edge of the cropping of rocks at the foreground, just a few metres away from the falls. The vantage point that the viewer

The convergence of the implied lines forming the river banks with the fading blue mountains on the right produce a left to right movement when viewing the painting. The invisible lines created by the mountain range and the river emphasize direction by moving the viewer from a narrow and cramped foreground to a vastly open background that seems to go on for miles. His use of lines to produce this movement down the river has an effect of taking the viewer on a short ride into the distance towards the open mountains under a clear blue sky with white fluffy clouds. In contrast the buildings in the distance are enveloped in white with much softer lines and less defined outlines. This progression from clearly outlined and defined to less defined and wispy shapes communicates the thought of starting a journey in firm reality and moving down a dreamy river towards the unknown. Carefree clouds, beautiful mountains, and blue water just take the viewer to a more serene place, away from the reality of the

These works were beautiful, but some of them were very attractive to author. Therefore, it was difficult to choose just one artifact to describe. It took some times, but finally one decided a painting. This picture was used for the summer 2017 pamphlet cover. This painting is untitled (Woman on Beach) by David Burliuk. He painted it in 1945. In addition, the painter used the watercolor on paper; the paper's size is 14 3/4 x 11 1/4 in. David used many dark colors such as indigo, gray, and black. The woman in the painting, she looks like tanned or Native American. David Burliuk was a futurist. The futurism was started from the early 20th century. During this time period, the technology was developed and people started to accept it. And then, the futurists tried to express the motion and its after-image. According to drawer's background, by one's perception, there is a woman who is dancing on the beach. She is moving her arms up and down. It seems like, David tried to draw a woman's motion. Additionally, the woman is wearing like a primate person, who lived between 1400 to 1800BC. Furthermore, the beach where she stands, it looks like she is in the island. The image of the island and beach is somewhere to relax and enjoy. Moreover, the painter didn't name his figure. One thinks, the painter may wanted the viewers see the picture and imagine the freedom of the movement and named it themselves, instead of stay in the tunnel vision. On the other hand, simply the artist didn't want to title it. Most of the artists are unique and odd. They have their own world and vision; they are sensitive and emotional, difficult to

In the foreground, an American steamboat can be seen moving through the river toward the vanishing point. Next to the boat is a small island with short trees that create shadows on the monochromatic river. The background of this painting is a partly clouded sky at sunset. The sun cannot be seen as it has fallen below the trees creating a red hue on the clouds. The scene similarly includes mountains on both sides of the river that create a line with the sky. The vanishing point can be found in the left-center of the image where the mountains can no longer be seen and the sky meets the

The fishhooks from far away look like waves done in oil, but once you stand close to the painting you can see the texture of the fish hooks are actually creating the waves. The tactile quality of the fishhooks creates a sense of implied lines as well. When looking at the image of the ocean, the brain sees the curved lines of the waves, but there are actually no lines there just fish hooks. Isla also presented atmospheric perspective because the image looks like the sea goes on for miles and miles. Also, there is a vanishing point where the horizon meets the sea, alluding to the illusion of depth. The complementary colors of the sea, green with the black, creates a picture of a chaotic ocean rather than a calm

Each time I travel to the Appleton Museum of Art, the relatively large structure of the museum and the amount of art that has been gathered and displayed there never ceases to amaze me. Yet, this piece is one that draws my attention every time and I’m not sure if it is the size or the subject matter.

The horizontal lines of the land represent calmness and te diagonal and vertical lines of the sea represents power and ever changing . There is a contrast with these two such as the sea is ever changing and the land that is hard slow to change. Next I looked at the shapes of the painting. With landscapes, such as this painting, there is organic shapes that show the chaos and never ending change of the ocean and storm that is pounding the land that is calm. I then looked at the contrast of the waves and land then the sky and storm. The waves are dark with the land being light with the opposite light above the dark waves and dark above the light land area. It makes it seem like the storm clouds are passing with the rising of the

Museums are institutions of cultural, artistic, and scientific knowledge. They have taken many forms over the centuries, Older museums subscribed to elitist ideologies. The architecture and interior design of these highbrow establishments reflected this with either over the top grandeur or stark, blinding white galleries. However, has museum values became rooted in the community and public education, the architecture changed as well. The Royal Ontario Museum consists of two interconnected main buildings.

In psychology, the primacy effect is defined as the tendency to recall primary information better than information divulged later on. This observation can be extended to how first impressions resonate well in the minds of humans. In her historical novel, Meridian, author Alice Walker reshapes perceptions about who holds power and moral authority and what determines this by making “time out of joint” (choosing an interesting narrative structure, with a most important beginning) and employing symbolism and repetition. Abandoning chronological order forces a reader to constantly abandon preconceived notion about characters, events, movements, and even themselves. As a result, the meaning of reality, life, and what is normal is “resignified”.

The artwork titled Summer Morning, New York Bay painted by Edward Moron in 1872 presents a scene where the artist looks toward the arising sun early in the morning the where the river meets the atlantic ocean near new York city. The overall effect is pearlscent and marvelous including glowing blue, yellow and brown. The morning calm is interrupted by the smokestacks and distant buildings out in the horizon. He created a scene that we can relate to by just looking at the drawing and feeling as if we are there enjoying it and all its dramatic scenary. He created detail of the water and waves and the boats awaiting to go. Edward moron designed this by applying principles of exploring the effects of light and atmosphere upon the water. He wanted

Occasion – It’s a pretty fantastic landscape, imaginary landscape populated with big ships far away from the land, but actually it doesn’t represent a place. Just ask us to imagine imagination itself.

Throughout the film there are many aerial shots of canyons especially in chapter two, Organic. The first canyon image in the movie is an aerial shot of what looks like the Grand Canyon. There is uneven rock formation rows in front of each other. The sunlight is coming from behind the camera, creating deep shadows on the front of the first valley and it creates deep shadows on the valley behind it. This shot moves very slowly across this area and then cuts to several close up shots of parts of the canyon, these images are low contrast they are mostly orange without distinct harsh shadows. After the closeups, there are more aerial shots of the canyon. With each shot the valleys get shallower and the contrast lowers. The shadows are less distinct as the land flattens, the land also has more and greener as it gets flatter, one of the last canyon shot we see before the transition to the next chapter shows the sun rising over completely flat desert like land in the area. For this chapter the filmmakers used regression of contrast to create transition from one scene to the next. The flattening in land with the lowering in contrast also shows time and how what used to be vibrant, with harsh and distinct lines and shadows can fade and erode into flat land with no depth and no contrast. The next chapter is named clouds, they use water to transition from dry harsh land to the flowing clouds in the sky.

One of the effective details in the story is when the author us talking about the water and the wind, creating an effect that the reader can feel the same thing that he is describing. The boat as well had really interesting details, describing how everything is still the same from the years they went during the summer.

The beautiful painting is a visual treat to anyone laying eyes on it. The blue sky the wavy water the sailboats all are ironic to any coastal shore. The moon on the distance is an indication that it’s early dusk or dawn. The sea looks windswept but calm and clear rather than stormy and angry. The ship is setting out on a long journey but the butterflies are an indication to a positive spin on departure so it’s probably intended for people who have had or will have firsthand experience with departure and those emotions.
