Walter Dean Myers, born Walter Milton Myers, was born on August 12th, 1937 and died on July 1st 2014. He was an American author for children’s book. He wrote over 100 books including picture books and nonfiction books. Two of his most famous books arguably if not his most famous books are Monster (1999) and Fallen Angel (1988).

According to academic journal Enhancing Accountability and Trust with Independent Investigations of Police Lethal Force by Walter Katz, local prosecutors are not immune from bias. When a cop is under investigation the prosecutors are put in a situation because they usually work together. Usually the police officers are giving the prosecutors all the evidence when dealing with a normal case so when the situation is reversed and the prosecutor must indict a cop it sometimes put them in a bad situation. “Prosecutors face ‘an impossible conflict of interest between their desire to maintain working relationships and their duty to investigate and prosecute police brutality (Walter, Katz 239).” That statement supports the idea that there should not

Visual opulence, creativity, inimitable vision, and a style that is highly influential are the many characteristics of an admired movement in art history, that being of the Post-Impressionism movement (1875-1892). This movement, which was a by-product of the Impressionism movement, is the bridging gap between the two movements known as Realism and Expressionism. Post-Impressionism takes on some of the stylistic characteristics of these movements; however, it does not contain the all too glossy visuals of Realism or the heavily fantastic visuals of Expressionism, rather it is the intermediary of these two poles. My paper will discuss why this link was absolutely essential to the history of art movements, and I will be specifically using the

While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon’s album for this particular study was The Armorer’s Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger. The goals for the study of this painting were to delve into topics such as subject matter, spectrum bands used to reveal information about the painting, and conservation efforts in general. As such, this study will start with the subject matter and style of presentation.

This unique work of art by Madison Bragg captured my attention instantly. I was captivated by the abstract and informal form of the paintings and the colours themselves caught my attention as well- with a primary mixture of cool blue and yellow tones. I chose to do the standard discursive portion of the project, as I wouldn’t consider myself to be a particularly creative person. On the other hand, I do love and admire art and therefore I figured the fine arts section of the discursive project would fit perfectly. I really enjoyed being able to check out the art at the Owen’s Art Gallery, and was surprised just how amazing the pieces were. Upon seeing the piece, I instantly formulated an opinion on what it meant to me.

First of all, I would like to talk about the escapade of Larry's in details and how did he become famous. I would like to illustrate my information as follows:

On September 4, 2016, I visited the Matisse in His Time exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This exhibit is home to a plethora of pieces by many different European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. While it is focused on Matisse and his extensive works, containing more than 50 of his pieces, there are many portraits and sculptures by other influential artists from that time period including Renoir, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Three of the most appealing works that I encountered in this exhibit are Maurice de Vlaminck’s Portrait of Père Bouju, Pablo Picasso’s Reclining Woman on a Blue Divan, and Henri Matisse’s sculpture series Henriette I, Henriette II, and Henriette III.

I disliked many characters in this play, because of their greediness. Walter Lee Younger wanted the insurance check for his investment in a liquor store, while his sister Beneatha Younger wanted the money for her schooling. Lena Younger “Mama,” was the one who received the check in the first place, and she wanted to spend the money on something that would benefit the whole family, not just her. She had the biggest heart out of all the characters in the play. The character that I hated the most was Walter Lee Younger. In the beginning of the play, Walter Lee Younger spends trying to convince his mother to invest in the liquor store because he believes that it will fix his family’s financial problems. He kept pressuring his “mama” throughout

Chagall often used his home village of Vitebsk as a focal point in many of his paintings as he loved his home even when he was in exile; this is why I used my childhood homes as two of the prominent elements in my work as I am often nostalgic and home-sick when I am at school. Chagall’s use of cubism is also prominent in my painting, seen in the street and by my grandma’s house, as I found his version of cubism emotive and unique. I was also moved by Chagall’s stain glass work and tried to incorporate this in the texture of the sky, ocean, and cubist sections and also through a heavy use of the color blue. Furthermore pertaining to my use of color, Chagall’s subtle use of expressionism inspired me to pay attention to color, which led me to use a vibrant and rich yet cool and calm color scheme to further represent the nostalgia I have for the figures. Finally, in my last subtle homage to Chagall, I incorporated flowers into my piece similar to how Chagall used traditional Russian flower patterns in his work. By studying the life and work of Marc Chagall, I was able to create a work that means a lot to me and that I am able to be genuinely proud

Portraits historically portray a person and who they are through an artistic eye, these two portraits first being Self portrait of Zeuxis laughing by Rembrandt and the second being Fading Thoughts by Andrew Myers instead of trying to portray a person they portray an idea. This paper will review these two portraits of men from different artistic periods and different centuries. The examination of each portrait via the visual elements such as color, medium, and subjects will explain the formal qualities. Further examination of the subject matter will explain what the portraits are trying to depict through emotional signals or other means of explanation. Lastly this paper will explain how both of these portraits go against the historical standard for this genre of art.

Initially when looking through the library, I seemed to be drawn to the variety of style and purposes illustration provided throughout history. Some purely motivated through knowledge while others driven by commercialism. Both the subjects as well as time period shape an interaction between the observation and abstraction of reality. Despite clear diversity, coherent themes and connection can be drawn between illustrations; linking the ideas and thoughts of a multitude.

A secondary important figure in defining and examining the absolute film movement within Germany during the 1920s is Walter Ruttman. Unlike Richter he began as a student of architecture and graphic design, which shaped his identity as an experimental filmmaker and accounts for the prominence of shapes and lines within his films. He began his career as filmmaker directly after his release from a hospital in Berlin for treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by his experiences in WW1. His works are said to be the very first examples of completely abstract film, meaning that they are composed solely of the arrangement of various forms (geometric and arbitrary) with no outside reference to anything or to any particular meaning. His first

In comparison to the Modern Artist Barnett Newman, Mark Grotjahn’s paintings have similar formal decisions to His predecessor. In Mark Grotjahn’s works, the outward appearance of his butterfly pieces might resemble similar formal concepts from Barnet Newman’s paintings. A likeness, present within Grotjahn and Newman’s paintings, is the vertical line bisecting the canvas. Which Barnett Newman coins this aesthetic a “zip”, or the use of a single vertical band .

Art Activity Description: The students will be introduced to Man with a Hoe by Jean-François Millet and my artwork. Then the students will learn about the element of art emphasizing on space. Subsequent, students will be invited to analyze our use of space. Students will discuss their interpretations of the painting and provide visual evidence to back up their ideas. Following, they will be invited to share their understanding of how the man in the painting feels. Succeeding, students will then be invited to illustrate their understanding of how space creates emphasis by drawing a person in their family who works hard.
