The painting of Prof. Felix Walter (Figure 1) made with watercolour on paper on stretcher by Charles Fraser Comfort stands out as an intriguing piece of artwork because of the visual choices C. F. Comfort has produced. I was able to appreciate this work as I had the privilege of attending the Nuit Blanche exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg on the first of October, 2016 where Prof. Felix Walter was in display at. I found this particular artistry stood out because of its placement in dominance from the other paintings, the use of contrasting styles using the same medium and the bold textures that divulge the prominence of the subject. The artist, C. F. Comfort is worth being aware of because of his exceptional work such as this painting. The composition fashioned by the art gallery should also be duly noted as it took part in making this particular piece stand out. …show more content…
Felix Walter by smartly framing the painting as seen in Figure 2. It is in between two noticeably smaller pieces that are obviously created with different styles and is distinctively larger than its neighbouring artwork, being more than twice their size. It boasts a sleek, solid black modern frame in comparison to the antique-like characteristics of the frames that the nearby paintings are comprised of. It is also more eye-catching because whilst the opposite pieces are close-up portraits, Prof. Felix Walter is a full body painting, creating a balance to the representation. On closer observation as a spectator, I was also able to notice that C. F. Comfort’s painting had more vibrant colours than the two beside it. It consists of a wider pallet than the neutral shades the opposite paintings subsists of, assisting in its
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
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.
Diebenkorn admired the way Matisse flattened his paintings while still creating a special tension within them, which he also incorporated into his work in the 50’s (“Richard Diebenkorn”). Using space and color, Diebenkorn

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
Walter Lee Younger is one of the characters who does not openly show his affection or longing for African values. Being dissatisfied with his current situation, he rather focuses on achieving an improvement of life for him as well as for his wife Ruth and his son Travis. However, even Walter Lee reveals Africa’s significance in the African American way of life – though just in a very short episode. Seeing her sister wearing a traditional Nigerian robe while dancing to a Nigerian folk song, it evokes an atmosphere of happiness, placing himself mentally from America to his ‘lost spiritual homeland’. In fact, seeing Beneatha and Walter Lee dancing together to Nigerian music, Lorraine Hansberry achieves to portray again issues concerning Ethiopianism.
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
