Mike Ross, like most people has a driving force, everyone’s is not the same and that would affect the way one works and why they push themselves to a certain point or why some don’t .Motivation is the reason or reasons for acting in a certain way. Success is the accomplishment of a aim or purpose. So the meaning of motivation of success would be what drives a person to accomplish the aim that was set out for them. With that being said, Mike’s motivation to success is to make his grandmother proud and to fulfil his lifelong dream of being a lawyer. Unfortunately for Mike he made the mistake of becoming successful the unethical way and lied about graduating from Harvard Law school and didn’t. Due to this we see that Mike is a man that acts on emotion and also he is a man that does whatever he can to make those people happy. Mike’s motivation to success is more that of making his love ones happy so its external motivation.

Wells begins to draw using mechanical pencil after that is complete she draws over it in very light blue ink. Then she erases all the pencil lines and has a line image in blue. Wells uses a lot of watercolor especially in this book. She also uses other art media such as gouache, a method of painting using opaque pigments ground in water and thickened with a glue-like substance, pastel, ink, and colored pencils in her illustrations. Not only does she put such effort in her drawings for this book, she also puts boarders around a good majority of her pages. The boarders in My Kindergarten represent what the story tells on that specific page and wraps around the text whether it’s small images or words used as the

In addition to how Marshall uses illustration to convey complexity and abstractness, foreshadow, and cause the reader to shift their focus he also has a very distinct style about his work. The style and design of his illustrations are consistent across his works and allow for more to be gained about the story.

What you are about to read is a work of fiction, produced in the mind of a skillful storyteller. Any similarity between anyone living or dead is purely coincidental.

It was there that he dabbled in new forms, styles, and materials and also produced some Pop art. Chuck Close spent quite a bit of time trying to find his artistic niche. In an interview with Ilka Scobie, Close explained that he had been doing big paintings “forever… In graduate school I made the biggest paintings. That is the only aspect of my work that hasn’t changed…” (3). Although Chuck Close experimented for a long time before he found his signature style, which seems to be a combination of a gridding process, abstract expressionism, and portraiture, it has turned into something very unique and appealing to the viewer. The time he took to figure out his personal style was certainly not wasted. Close explained that his inability to recognize faces (prosopagnosia) “may have inadvertently pushed me in the direction I’m working today—trying to scrutinize the faces of the people I know and love, and trying to figure out what they look like” (Smith 15). Chuck Close’s signature style depicts the faces of many different people in an abstract way. He uses a grid method and each square is “made form multiple small geometric forms” (Ravin, and Odell). His work is abstract and very large. Close’s paintings are remarkable, viewing them at an up close view or at a distance gives the viewer an entirely different experience. It is almost as if the viewer is looking at two separate pieces of

The city of Bobruisk is located in modern day Belarus, formerly part of the USSR or Soviet Union. Jewish assimilation in Bobruisk can be dated back to the 17th century. From the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, Bobruisk was an important cultural, religious and political center of Russian Jewry, as well as both the Bund and Zionist movements’. As the researcher of this paper, I have a very personal connection with this city because this was where my family was from. I was the first in my family to be born in America and went to visit Bobruisk in 2005 to see some of the murder sites first-hand, such as: Kamenka, Yeloviki, the Jewish Cemetery, and Khatyn. I have also been to Yad Vashem in Israel, and tried to find my great grandparents names in the Hall of Names, but to no available information unfortunately. Jewry in Bobruisk consisted of 26,703 people in January 1939 or 31.7% of the total population in Bobruisk. The population took a steep decline from the first available census in 1923, where Jews made up close to 53.5% of the population or 19,619 out of a total of 36,656 people living in Bobruisk. The

In addition to strengthening the Civil Rights of the African American community there were several other societal groups that believed they too were not being treated equally. Women and members of the gay community are two of these groups. Beginning its fight for equality in the 1950s as the Mattachine Society, the gay community initially used the education and research approach to combat homosexuality (Carter, 2011). Used by gays to obtain a mental illness diagnosis, this was a way for gays to be tolerated and provided therapy instead being sent to prison (Carter, 2011). One individual that took an alternate route to champion the cause for gay rights was Franklin E. Kameny. Frank Kameny’s reason for advocating for gay rights was that he worked for the government’s Army Map Service until 1957 when he was fired for being gay (Carter, 2011).

Growing up, people realize that around the time of reaching a mature state, education has affected their personal family life in one way or the other. With that being said, in his essay, “The Achievement of Desire”, Richard Rodriguez headed towards a path where he was unconsciously distancing himself from his family and becoming much more independent than he had expected. Rodriguez gives the reader a sentimental idea of the two contrary lives he had growing up, the life he had as a child, and the life he has as an educated man. He continued believing in his aspiration of how benefits of education can remarkably outweigh the past struggles of both his family and himself. Like Rodriguez, I also, in the past, found some form of solitude

Don Hall’s art gallery was extremely detailed and eye-catching. I love how he incorporated himself into each and every one of his artworks. It is amazing that he used paintings, which were created from past painters. Hall copied these painters’ art, but he added his own twist, or more specifically himself, in the painting. I think it is amazing when an artist can depict himself or herself in a work of art. As humans, we perceive ourselves differently than how others perceive us. Hall must have stared at himself in the mirror or at a picture of himself for a while to capture each and every detail on his face. I wonder how he came up with the idea to place himself in others’ paintings.

Another installation is called I’m Here, But Nothing (Kusama, 2008). The viewer would enter a dark room which was set up as a normal kitchen, or living room. However, the room is drowned in black light. Covered the surface of the walls as well as furniture were multiple color polka dots with fluorescent glow-in-the-dark paint. The author once again made used of the distinct color while manipulating lights, to create infinite pattern on a smooth color surface. The dots can be observed as floating in the air, while defying the space within the room and still defining it. Kusama illuminated the room only with ultraviolet fluorescent light; thus, the stickers appeared without any sense of depth, which then is stuck in the viewer’s eyes to create

Richard Grimes was a staff accountant with a Big Four accounting firm. He was a member of the McCaleb Medical Corporation (MMC) audit team. The audit team was responsible in auditing MMC’s financial statements for the company’s fiscal year that had ended some weeks earlier on December 31.

The virtue in his features coincides with neither that of the revolutionaries nor the bland features of the bank, which are described just before. He is shown to have a very different honesty and courage that France lacked and that Victorians would not usually have associated with trade. This forms a sharp contrast to the revolution and strengthens his purity of character. When he must face the dangers of France, he does not compromise his honesty or loyalty towards either his business or his friends. His choices are described in saying, “His own possessions, safety, life, he would have hazarded for Lucie and her child, without a moment’s demur; but the great trust he held was not his own, and as to that business charge he was a strict man

Other than that, there is also space between each rectangle that help viewer to understand the theme of this design.

In the media there are a variety of images and texts that are used to convey a host of ideas. This is because the artist is attempting to improve the reader's understanding of particular concepts by using these elements in conjunction with each other. To fully understand how this is taking place requires looking at comic strip Calvin and Hobbs. During this process there will be an examination that is focused on a number of areas. To include: how the pace is illustrated, the way the panels relate to one another, the differences / similarities between the two panels, the representational meaning and the main story plot of the comic strip. Together, these different elements will provide the greatest insights as to how these factors are used in correlation with one another to tell a larger story.

Being a comic book and manga reader, I always fell in love with the plot, read the words and skim through the drawings without stopping to think about the symbolism of the drawings on the pages. While reading McCloud's "Understanding Comics" and observing Molly Bang's theories on shapes and lines, my mind has opened a broader understanding of what is right in front of me, when I'm reading a manga or a comic book. To begin with, in chapter four, McCloud talks about how some artists use lines, multiple images or streaking to show motion. In the manga One Punch Man the artist Yusuke Murata shows Saitama's movement for the "serious hop" attack with streaking and multiple images, to show the different ways Saitama is approaching his opponent. Also, you can imply Molly Bang's theory on diagonal shapes that show tension or motion in which Yusuke uses both (Look at picture #1). You can see how under Saitama there are also pointy edges that go diagonally so one can feel threatened as Molly Bang said. Also you can clearly see the many silhouettes of Saitama to show his special attack much clearer.
