Pictorial Images

3-D (3- dimensional) is the creation, display and manipulation of objects in the computer in three dimensions. 3D Graphics are based on Vector graphs stored as a set of instructions describing the coordinates for lines and shapes in a 3-dimensional space. The Vectors form a wireframe, which is covered with surface texture and color to create a graphic of a 3-D object that is called rendering.

“I’ve been balled up in the cave thinking about hieroglyphics. Or, I guess, pictographs. On one of our day hikes last we, the jailers took us to a secret place where Native Americans had drawn things on a cave wall. [...] The pictographs were faded, barely even there, but John pointed them out, one by one. There was a circle, big X’s, a bird, fire, a man with wavy arms, and rain clouds. [...] He also explained that some wall art dated back to 7000 BC and said that we were in the presence of “America’s earliest storytelling documents. He said that the pictographs were painted by mixing natural minerals with plant and animal oils to make colored paints, which were then put on the walls with fingers or brushes made out of animal hair or yucca leaves.” (Van Draanen)

Discuss the use of imagery in two stories of your choice. How do the various images work in a particular story to bring its subject matter into focus? Is there a central image? And how does this enhance or confuse or complicate the effect of the story?

Bram Stoker utilizes point of view, imagery, and tone to illustrate Lucy’s pre-transformative phase through a diary entry, giving further context to various symbols in Chapter 11 of Dracula.

Art has been a major outlet for many artist around the world making masterpieces to represent what they see in the world. As generations pass, and we don’t talk about the past art is the connection to remind us of what once was. Visual art helps us connect to the past by using different art forms to show historical events and cultural beliefs/ trends.

What was striking to me about this video? What is striking is the fact that if they didn’t create photos and statues 35,000 years ago our world would be very boring. The world would be so unrecognizable and imageless. They painted animals and they painted their images in caves too. Prehistoric artists were experimenting in their caves. I love how he explained that they began really working on their art in their caves.

human perceptions were back then, and particularly their artistic sense of the world around them.

Pottery illustrations are existent to provide information about historical vessels in comparison to other findings of history. They also lay foundations of visual evidence for future readings of the vessels. It is incredible to recognise the amount of information that a vessel or a sherd can inform you about history. In this technology fuelled day and age it could be argued that it is not a powerful form of reference, however illustrations can define shape much more effectively and also

A pictorial representation would be a motion map, which would use arrows pointing in different directions to represent each car. Using the calculated velocities of each car, arrows would be drawn in the direction of motion, using larger arrows for the greater magnitude of velocity. To determine the collision point, count second points from either direction until they are at the same position or pass each other. Graphing is another method of determining the collision point. Again, using the calculated velocities, in addition to the position equation corresponding to each car and then graphing each on a position-time graph. After finding the point of intersection of the lines, the distance at which they will collide would be on the position

1. The 2D engraving of Adam and Eve by Albrecht Durer caught my interest. The engraving illustrates Adam and Eve in a heavily wooded background surrounded by animals with precise detail. Proportion is used on the female and male bodies to represent the human body. Both individuals are larger than the animals to demonstrate that they are closer and the animals in the background are further from the audience’s view.

The first video gives us a brief discussion on mental imagery. Mental imagery refers to imagining the future prospects or the past events by associating it with an incident. However, research studies indicate, the eyes move in an order when we visualize an image. Furthermore, a debate on whether the image visualized was a pictorial representation or a propositional representation is being depicted through an illustration conducted in the Switzerland.

Hendricks when having black subjects for his paintings he painted these black subjects just as they were not skewing anything about them, this opens the conversation about realistic representation in art form. When you are raw with your subjects and paint people just how they are that opens the door for your audience to look at your work and contemplate “That reminds me a lot of what I look like!”. This then makes the audience feel like they belong in a society that tries to tell them that they don’t belong. Using a monochromatic backgrounds this then takes away any biases of what backgrounds could have been, Hendricks wanted to capture the essence of the person not the essence of a particular location (home, outside, etc.).

Pictorialism was a movement begun against naturalism and snapshot photography. The idea was the subject is not as important as the overall effect or mood of the finished image The goal was to make a photograph that seemed more like an oil painting or other recognizable fine art when finished. The subject and details were

The origin of modern human behavior is a subject in anthropology that accumulates much debate. Cognition is the dominant factor in such behavior, therefore raises the question, “when did this separation of intelligent or modern thought from the primitive come to daily behavior for our genus?” There are two such answers that hold experts in the field captive in debate: the rapid “imagination revolution” in the European-centrailized Upper Paleolithic, and the steadiness of cognitive growth provided first in Africa during the Middle Paleolithic. Although each argument provides supportive evidence for their perspective claims, the more naturally convincing shows this creative revolution taking place much earlier than the Upper Paleolithic. This explanations human cognition developing with no brisk advantageous revolutionary response, and instead by gradual means. This metamorphosis follows the pattern of biological human evolution. My argument combats the “imagination revolution” claim to the origins of creativity using specific artifacts dated earlier than those of European restrictions. Furthermore, it is the lack of excavation in Africa and the conditions of the terrain itself that pose problematic preservation of artifacts, unlike in Europe, to exonerate this innovative exclusivity. These pieces of evidence in Africa exemplify a higher process of thinking, commonly those showing deliberate means of bead and rock art used for both personal functions of expression. If art

Creating art is one of the single defining factors that set humans apart from animal species. Through art, humans are able to express their innermost ideas and feelings, without having the difficulty of trying to find the correct words to accurately describe their thought processes. Works of art can help us to understand the people who have come before us. This is evidenced by the knowledge humans have discovered of prehistoric men and their symbolic cave paintings. The expression, style, and meaning vary and archaeologists put in much effort to uncover these works.
