Reflection Of Shadow Casting

Thousands of years ago, before artists’ work fell into the category and style of art that existed during their time period, art was portrayed mostly through carved slabs or marble or stone. Art has existed since years before the Common Era and date all the way back to prehistory. It has helped historians and scientists understand the lifestyles in which past civilizations had followed. In Ancient Rome and Greece, for example, many artists sculpted religious figures in accordance to their polytheistic, mythological beliefs. Almost every artist, if not all, of these sculptures remains unknown to this day but their work lives on to inspire others. One work in particular that

I have shadowed two physicians during my pre-medical years. These experiences have significantly shaped the type of physician I want to be in the future. Not in the sense of a medical specialty, but rather in the sense of demonstrating a clear compassion and understanding for my patients.

Tim Shaw is a sculptor who created a sculpture of a man in fire. This sculpture is called Erebus; it took him 7 years to finish this piece. This sculpture especially caught my attention as it is seen as a very strong and powerful sculpture. I have decided to draw this this sculpture because it could relate to my theme Decay. In my perspective by looking at this sculpture of a burning man could show that this man is at his last stage of life where he is about to die. This sculpture has a lot of meaning behind it…

One of the reasons I enjoyed this exhibit so much is because several pieces involved the viewer. There were two artworks of similar style that I was immediately drawn to, which I later noticed were by the same artist. Adam Fuss is the creator of these colorless photographs and though they share similar physical characteristics they have different meanings. “Untitled” (2002) was an image of a skull and “Home and the World” (2010) showed an image of a mattress. From a distance, I saw what looked like shiny aluminum surrounded by a picture frame. As I got closer I could see an image almost jumping out towards me, but only when the light was hitting it at a certain angle. I could also see my reflection in this mirror-like creation. This type of art is called a daguerreotype and is one of the earliest forms

Communication is part of individual’s everyday life. The shadowing final exam for this course allowed me to explore a career I was interested in and study what communication skills the employee use daily. The person I shadowed on Wednesday March 28, 2018 was Mario Chaney, Manager of design at Wayne Sate University in the Marketing and Communication Department. Mr. Chaney is a Wayne State alumnus with a Bachelor of Fine Arts has a certificate of Web design from creative studies. He designs both print and web layout to promote Wayne State University. For example, registration pamphlet and housing brochure were a few of the projects he was working on for next fall “2018-2019”. The reason I chose to shadow Mr. Chaney is after participating in a workshop with him where I got to go through the process of crating a warrior strong poster I was intrigued how design be used to communicate a message to many students on campus.

watch the shows these statues’ shadows play out. A prisoner is released, he sees the fire and

I observed the sculpture “Depend Du Soleil” by Mark Fuller twice before deciding that it was my favorite from the four assigned for observation. When I first saw it, it was around noon and the sun was almost directly in front of it and I was amazed by how the light reflected off the pieces. When I saw it the second time, it was even better. I sat facing the sculpture right before the sun rose. When it did, it was like I was watching a slow moving picture come to life. The rays of the sun hit its surfaces one by one and the light reflected was green, yellow and a myriad of colors. I realized when watching the piece without the sun it was simple and just an ordinary piece, but with the sun it became extraordinary. It truly does depend on the sun to make you see how amazing a piece of work it is. This piece made me think of life. It might seem crazy to think that

Jon P Geiger is a well-known ceramic artist. His work focuses on the mysticism of the American West. Geiger often challenges the origins of the West and the spiritual and imaginary components found within. At the “Currents 2017- Perception: Color and Content” exhibition, his work “Issue 1” is currently being showed. “Issue 1” is an underglaze ceramic piece.

Our world is full of so many grandiose monuments, eye-catching sculptures, and stunning statues, each having an individual story to tell. Thousands of them have been created however, only a small number of them are actually extraordinary and picture-worthy. This paper will compare and contrast two of those picture-worthy sculptures. Furthermore, I will examine the aspects of each of these sculptures. I will compare and contrast what each of them represents, the differences in texture, their size and their tone.

The sculptor, Claudel, would have had to use the bronze-wax casting method to produce this piece. The details of the couple’s graceful movements are perfectly captured. The texture of the muscles and drapery heightens

Meet Christopher Koizar. His work is featured in our Touched with Fire: Behind the Curtain exhibition

The first piece I am going to talk about is Seal of the Pacific, and the artists name is Dean Decocker. The type of medium that it is done in is metal, plexiglass and powder coat. It is a wall sculpture made with a mix of green and white coloring. The position of the lighting plays a big part of how the art work is presented to its audience, the shadow of the piece I believe is a part of the art itself. The intricate mix of curved and straight lines reminds me of the waves of the ocean, and the shadowing laying behind and underneath the art piece reminds me of the current that lays underneath the surface of the ocean. The coloring also is in resemblance to sea water and the white foam that sits on top of it. I believe the meaning of the piece

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

When I first started experimenting with shadows I did not include a person as the subject. In order to add a personal and emotional element to my photos I decided to include a model. In concentration #1, I used a model and I wanted to create a unique shadow on her so I used a sushi roller mat which created the lines on her face. After this piece I realized I enjoy reflecting unique things on people so I continued with that strategy. Through this concentration process I tried multiple techniques in order to combine a person, shadow and reflection. With concentration #10, I tried to do something different and create my own reflection. I photoshopped trees onto the model’s arm. I thought this related to my concentration because it looked as if

The art of landscape pieces depicts the Daoist faith. Daoism desires enhancement of the Dao, the way or path, within a person, which one achieves through education, meditation and rituals, and enhancement of the qi. Qi is the vital energy surrounding an area. Core concepts of Daoism are identifiable in the analysis of artwork from popular time periods of the belief system. The piece of art, referred to as hill shaped incense burner, crafted in 113 BCE was excavated in 1968 from the tomb of Prince Liu Sheng and Dou Wan (Neave 142). The visual elements of art used in the hill shaped incense burner visually represent Daoist beliefs identified in Lao Zi: The Book of Tao and Teh: the importance of mountains, behaving like water, and the simple natural way of life.
