As we know, the result of “Art is” is “Art is” which returned in an ephemeral form at the Studio Museum. All forty photographs are on display on the basement level of the galleries, which are supposedly reserved for pieces in their permanent collection. The room just outside, whether coincidentally or not, is filled with photos of students - reflecting personal memories. How the museum decides to play with this, is by missing them with old-timer photos of Harlem from the

Brainwashing, torture, pain. All three of these words bring about a negative connotation. However, rearrange these words – reintegration, discipline, moral instinct – these words now have a conclusive argument against methods that may seem heinous. By enhancing these words, one can change the emotional and logical appeal of an argument. In reality, stubbornness and pride hold humans back from the truth of reality. Therefore, two groups with different options can cause conflict. To unify two opposing groups, either a compromise must be made or one group conforms to the other. Either method can work; however, to get this to work an emotional and/or logical appeal must be made in an argument. This method is commonly known as pathos and logos (two of Aristotle’s Rhetorical Situations). Pathos, from the Greek origin, means “suffering” and/or “experience”; but not as suffering from pain, but as feeling sympathy from a story of suffering. Logos is translated to “logic” and “reasoning.” By finding reasoning in a situation, it is easier to see the difference between just and unjust. Through the use of manipulation and torture, O’Brien demonstrates the methods of pathos and logos behind his assertive argument.

At 11, Wiley’s mother enrolled him and his twin in a small art conservatory program at Cal State, and in the summer of 1989, he was sent to Russia for training in classical painting. After excelling in this program, he went on to earn his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and his MFA for the Yale University School of Art. Although Wiley achieved things beyond his neighborhood, he did not forget the black struggle he was familiar with growing up.

Today I am here to take about Ethos, pathos, and Logos and how my discourse community influenced my use of these devices to join other communities. If you do not know what a discourse community is, then it is a group of people who share knowledge of a particular topic, similar backgrounds and experiences etc. my discourse community was High school broadcasting which for most students they would never join because it is a very tech-savvy class. At our school the announcements were not done by an administrator, we had video feed to every classroom in which the broadcasting class would do the news and create humorous shorts to inform and entertain anyone who was watching .Our job as a class was to inform students on a day to day basis,

We the people live in a world filled with ominous and perplexing events that make us question if the world we live in is actually as transparent as we perceive it. In the documentary, Ethos: Time to Unslave Humanity, we get an interpretation of America’s political, economical, and social being and how everything is less concrete than openly known. Extremely far from stone cold facts, there are still ideas and arguments that are being made throughout that attempt to achieve aspects of ethos, pathos, and logos.

In this essay, I will closely examine the role of ethos, pathos, and logos as they were utilized in the 1992 Presidential Debate video clip. Throughout Clinton and Bush’s debates, they used the three options of persuasion effectively and discretely; however, it is evident that out of the three ways of persuasion, the candidates used ‘pathos’ because of the content they were providing. It was apparent that Bill Clinton was more prepared to display forms of persuasion than George H.W. Bush was because Clinton had prior experience dealing with lower income people. In the upcoming paragraphs, I will explain and analyze how each candidate made use of the three forms of persuasion: logos, pathos, and ethos.

In the article, “To Donate your Kidney Click Here” by Daniela Lamas, the authority derives from social media websites that deal with the matter of organ transplants and finding potential donors. Facebook was the social media site used to connect sick patients with future organ donors. Lamas uses three concepts in her article called ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is used to back up the author’s arguments, and prove she is reliable and trustworthy. Pathos shows mostly emotional and personal stories of patients. Lastly, Lamas uses logos to show logic and intellectual thinking through studies and analyses.

Wiley was born in 1977 in crime-laden South Central, Los Angeles, and was enrolled in weekend art classes at California State, Los Angeles, by his mother to keep him away from neighborhood dangers. He later received his bachelor’s degree in 1999 at the San Francisco Art Institute, and then a master’s degree in 2001 at Yale. His first artist residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem began his practice of street casting black men with attitudes of self-confidence. The casting for his work has spread internationally with his latest body of paintings, The World Stage, to locations such as China, Lagos and Dakar, Brazil, India and Sri Lanka, Israel,

The video “How to Identify Ethos, Logos and Pathos” by Shmoop was a short, but concise video which explained the meaning of Ethos, Pathos and Logos. I believe, to know and understand what Ethos, Logos and Pathos is important to be a persuading writer. I have never heard that Ethos, Logos and Pathos are rhetorical devices so with this information I was sort of confused and I had to look up if those are really rhetorical devices. Furthermore, when they start talking and explaining about Ethos (1:20min), pathos and Logos, I think the simply, funny explanation, including the examples used in the video were good and easy to understand. Overall and in conclusion, the short video review covers in my opinion in a funny way the main information’s, which simplified the given information’s.

He was artistically gifted and awfully bright, consequently he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, and got his M.F.A from Yale University. I believe the most interesting part about this article, is the author’s description of Wiley’s art epiphany. There is a time in most creative’s journey where they have a life-altering realization and draw most of their inspiration from there. This essential to an artist’s career, Wiley’s was strange. Wiley happens to stumble across a crumbled piece of paper, once unfolding it, he was met with a mugshot of a black male that he described as beautiful. “I see this piece of paper, and I am looking at him, and he’s got these weird necklaces on. He’s got this really beautiful, sympathetic face, and I am like, ‘this has to be a portrait!’” from this

There are millions of commercials. All of them have different audience and purpose. Advertisement maker tries to convey audience to look at their point of view, which can be political, social or convincing them to buy their product instead of others. According to the article “Rhetoric and Advertising” more than 2,000 years ago the Aristotle came up with three different categories to describe how people use rhetoric to persuade people: ethos, pathos and logos. Each of these terms describes different way to try to reach an audience and convince them to agree with you. Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. Logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Many ad makers use 2 of 3 techniques in their ad. Commercial maker uses logos and ethos a lot while making a commercial. For example, Luna commercial. Luna is a carpeting company who installs new carpet in houses at the discounted prices. They always have a promotions going on which includes get carpet in 2 rooms and get the 3rd one for free, by doing this they are attracting customers, this is example of ethos. They also have a catchy audio which makes people remember their number (773-241-LUNA) this is an example of logos. They also have family who are dressed well talking about how good their

In general appropriation in the art movement of postmodernism, borrows, copies, and alters preexisting images and objects to challenge traditional notions in art. In artist Kehinde Wiley newest art exhibit, “Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic,” he appropriate cultural images, and characters from one context and places them it in another. Using juxtaposed inversions to challenge traditional elitist, white male-dominated, “high” historical art culture. As a self-identified homosexual African American man raised in Los Angeles in the 80’s, it is evident a significant part of Kehinde Wiley artists inventions derive from his own personal experiences and beliefs. By appropriate white

This essay examines how artists are able to effectively portray emotions in their artworks. The exploration is done mainly through the work of Frida Kahlo, however the works of three Jamaican artists (Khary Darby, Roberta Stoddart, Ossie Murray) have also been used to compare and contrast with her. Certain artistic techniques bring about emotive responses more than others, through an analysis of the artistic techniques employed, we can deduce how a specific mood is set. In pursuit of the research question, the emotion chosen is pain and suffering, a universal theme in art, which will remain timeless. The focal point of the essay is Frida Kahlo, however the exploration is aided by the work of the Jamaican artists.

Art is something that can only be achieved with the manipulation of the imagination. This is successful when using objects, sounds, and words. Richard Wright and Amira Baraka brought the power of art into the limelight. Wright’s perception of art was for it to be used as a means of guidance, one that could uplift the Negro towards bigger and better goals. Baraka’s perspective of art was for it to be used as an active agent, one that could kill and then imprint society permanently. Baraka and Wright both wanted the Negro to see that there was a much brighter future ahead of them. Both wanted art to leave a stain, a stain that could not be easily erased, washed, or bleached. Both believed that Black Art had no need to be silent but instead daring.
