Pieter Brueghel

To fit the theme of a summer setting, along with the annunciation being very holy and happy, the scene is very bright with light and uses some bold bright colors. Both Mary’s bed and God’s outfit are a strong solid red. Bright greens and blues are used on the land and sky outside. The archangel is dressed in a white robe with a red and gold cloak. A strong contrast in colors is used to bring more attention to Mary, as her face is a very light white, while her gown is a very dark green. Overall, while used to grab your attention, the colors do seem very natural to what the scene would like, as perceived in the artist’s time period. The lighting, whoever, seems to be from an unnatural source. It

For example, in the beginning of the movie, Mama Elena is filmed from below when Tita asks her permission to marry Pedro (LWFC). The use of a low-angle shot causes Mama Elena to appear much bigger than she is, while emphasizing her authority and dominance over Tita. This leads to the exaggeration of Mama Elena’s terrifying nature, and because the audience views Mama Elena from the eyes of a terrified child, they feel personally intimidated by the tyrant mother. Furthermore, during Pedro and Rosaura’s wedding, everyone is wearing light colors except for Mama Elena, who is dressed entirely in black (LWFC). The use of black separates Mama Elena from the rest of the wedding guests by juxtaposing her dark composition to the white of the other joyus wedding guests.

The black checkerboard pieces of the dress represented the Negroes, while the white parts represented the white people. It was mixed to show integration. This portrayed a clear message that black and white people should be united as one and not apart, showing another strong relation to the key

The film opens at the end of James Braddock's first reign in the boxing world. His coach Gould has placed him in a fight

It is natural for humans to die, so this color makes sense in this setting. Also, I believe humans ask for help because is something natural we all do, which is also makes the color an appropriate choice in this particular scene. On the other hand, black also appears in the film. Black can represent fear and mystery. Betelgeuse character embraces all of these characteristics.

The background of the painting is very dark and a reflective of the dark times some women were in during this time. The dark background and the subject’s serious persona give the painting a mysterious sensation. Mrs. Richard Skinner’s clothing pieces are very light colors which give a light-hearted ambiance to the painting but the dark background, dim lighting, and the dark table that lay before her completely alter the mood of the painting. The lighting of the painting, therefore, emphasizes Mrs. Richard Skinner even more due to her dark surroundings, which is another example of Copley’s attempt at accentuating her womanhood. Some of the props in this painting elaborate and stress her sexuality even further. The subject is holding a flower in the painting; flowers are symbolic of purity and femininity. The way the subject is holding the flowers is to be noted as well. She is holding

It was painted in the late 18th century by a South Carolina slaveholder called John Rose. This is from a slave holder so it means he saw the slaves doing these actions and then interpreted it into a painting. This means it is very reliable due to the fact that it was painted by a slaveholder so that means he was a witness to the events and was able to paint it while seeing it in person. However he never asked the slaves what they were doing, he just painted what he saw. This means that he painted it so it looked like they were dancing, however we don’t actually know if they were dancing or if it was some sort of ritual. Some argued saying that it was a wedding, because of the broom depicted into this painting. But historians believe this was a dance. A painting is quite useful as it shows us an image that we can see clearly and imagine what it’s like unlike an account like James Ramsay’s. Also the image he painted wasn’t an interpretation unlike other paintings, so this is a very useful source for learning about what slaves did on plantations on weekends/ free time. However we don’t get a clear understanding of what the artist was trying to tell us, so the purpose is unknown, contrasting to James Ramsay’s

The painting on the right with group of African American getting ready for some kind of festival is called Dressing for the Carnival and it was painted by Winslow Homer in 1877.

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.

Historically, paintings only depicted the wealthy or a religious figure. One of the first artists to deviate from this was Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Common day people serve as the subjects for many of Bruegel’s paintings, including The Peasant Dance in 1567. Lower class people have been the subject of paintings many times since Bruegel, however one painting that shares its ambiguity is Grant Wood’s 1930 painting American Gothic. The ambiguity stems from the uncertainty of whether these paintings are critiquing or celebrating their subjects.

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

She has a beautiful red, white with and blue checker dress. Yuliya Samoilova also has a lovely long black and white cape that touches the floor. Yuliya has her adopted daughter with her right arm around her as they leave a party. Her adopted daughter has on a light blue and gold dress with a green cape wiped around her. Yuliya adopted daughter has long black hair that is braided. Yuliya appears the be holding a fan or pouch in her left hand. On the right hand side there is a bright red certain. The background to the left is appears to be people talking and still at the ball. The artist captures your attention by using bright colors. In my opinion the focal point of the picture is the of the Yuliya Pavlovna Samoilova with her Adopted Daughter beautiful dress. The artist purpose of this painting to show the love and feeling he had for

For the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Givenchy created the little black dress to create a feeling of elegancy simplicity and classic for the character. The dress which is created out of black Italian satin is a long sheath dress. The basic definition of a sheath dress is a figure hugging silhouette with a define waist line. The dress was created to be evening gown attire. The dress which is sleeveless has a cut out open bodice in the upper back of the dress under the neckline that shows areas of the shoulder. The skirt gathers around the waist and comes with matching satin black long gloves that stop around elbow. The other accessories for this dress are the layer pearls chocker worn in the movie and hair accessories. The period consumer for

“But she was humble and obedient, and sat meekly for many weeks in the dark, high turret-chamber where the light dripped upon the pale canvas only from overhead” (Giordano, Robert) this quote helps the reader know the setting. The other symbolism that Poe uses would be color to symbolize life. A quote from “The Oval Portrait”, “And he would not see that the tints which he spread upon the canvas were drawn from the cheeks of her who sate beside him” (Poe Edgar), Poe using this analysis to give a better understanding the readers that the color from the brides cheeks gave the painting the illustration of life (Thompson R.). As the husband added more and more color to the picture with paint it gets darker, this coming to realize as he is making the picture darker his wife is increasing the death of his wife.
