First artwork is the Vietnam War Memorial in 1982, designed by May Lin. What I see in this picture is that it looks like a park area is created having a lot of fresh green grass and long trees. It also have very elongated walls. The walls are made from mirror-like surfaces that reflects the images of the surrounding trees, monuments and people. As it is a Vietnam War memorial place, I observe that people staring at the walls depicts that the walls have something related about the Vietnam War. It can have written description about the specific people participating in the Vietnam War. It’s like a long granite wall inscribed with the names of all those men and women that sacrificed their lives during this war. I also see how these mirror like

Yoram Wolberger, made a life size toy green soldier that is on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. The piece was partly inspired by World War One veteran who placed the toy figures on several sculptures. Wolberger wanted to connect childhood fantasy with adult retrospection. The sculptures "ready to fight stance" also represents the haunting reminder that men and women can be called upon to fight for their country at any time.4 Wolberger did a brilliant job at tying together the seriousness of war, and the simplicity of childhood while still showing respect to veterans. He pokes fun at the institution of war, and not the warrior. Also Wolberger shows the unsettling reality that almost anyone can be called into duty at any time with the stance of the toy figure without manipulating it in anyway. War art is not always paintings of battle scenes or statues of child's toys. Memorials and Remembrances built in honor of those whose lives have fallen, or battles key to the success of a

Since the beginning of mankind, war and the horrors that come with it have had devastating effects on both the minds and the bodies of human beings. Mentally, war drains soldiers of their ability to think properly. During a battle, soldiers witness bloody battles which frequently result in demise. Day after day of witnessing deceased fall to the ground, a soldier can do nothing but think about blood, gore, and his or her fallen comrades. Additionally, a war can be physically taxing on whomever takes part in it. Dodging or being hit by fists, swords, or bullets will inevitably cause pain and may disable somebody for the rest of their life. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque demonstrates through characterization, imagery,

Finally, it may suggest the face paint soldiers wear so they can blend in with their surroundings. The next few lines span a range of emotions which include: anger, sadness expressed through tears, and the persona's resolve not to cry. He even curses himself for beginning to cry, an action that can be considered un-masculine for a man.

The fear that death evoked on them was heavier on their shoulders that any other thing. The war equipment that they carried created and stress in the bodies that they were willing to take for the illusion of safety and surviving another day. “28-pound mine detector, the equipment was a stress on their lower back and shoulders, often useless because of the shrapnel in the earth, but they partly for the illusion of safety”. This text suggests how fear acted on them, they would take any physical exhaustion to

On the ground floor are services, such as the admissions office, parking kiosk, and records office. Near the elevators, which functions to all floors of the building, are the only vending machines which sell items, such as chips, chocolate bars, and Pepsi products. Additionally, there are 2 sculptures present. One is called “Mind and Heart” created in 1995 by Frank Sherriff. It is dedicated to the VVV, Varsity Victor Volunteers, which was formed after all soldiers of Japanese ancestry were discharged following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. With advising from Hung Wai Ching, these soldiers volunteered their loyalty as a non-combat labor battalion. They later disbanded to form the all Nisei combat team known as the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The metal sculpture is influenced by the Statue of Liberty’s torch which honors the heroic volunteers for their loyalty, passion, and courage. The second statue is called “Spirit of Loyalty” created in 1995 by Rick Mills. This piece is a pyramid shaped, turquoise-colored, glass which captures both the substantive and ethereal characteristics of loyalty. This sculpture also honors the Varsity Victor Volunteers, many of whom were UH

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is a monument that stood out the most to me while visiting Washington D.C with my fellow nursing students. Residing on the National Mall, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and south of the Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated to the 5.8 million Americans that served and sacrificed in the Korean War. During its relatively short duration from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, 36,374 Americans died in battle at the Korean War theater. In addition, 103, 284 were wounded during the conflict. The Korean War is noted as one of the most hard fought battle in our history. The U.S Congress approved the construction of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in 1985. It then broke ground on June 14, 1992 and on July 27,1995, The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated. Cooper-Lecky Architects were responsible for the design of the memorial, as they oversaw collaboration between several designers. The most notable of these designers was Frank Gaylord, who is known for being responsible of the 19 stainless steel statues one can see in the park at any time of day.

The soldiers are so tired by this point that they become rather careless in crucial times. They start making decisions such as celebrating and relaxing because life is short. They have priorities that seem weird to people reading it who don’t understand. They make food and rest and shelter their priorities, rather than immediate safety. Even when Albert gets shot he keeps running through the bombs and guns and explosions instead of stopping in a shell hole to see if he was alright. There is a certain urgency to be back where they feel like they belong. As Paul expresses, no matter how injured a soldier is, he will make it to the ‘right side’ before even stopping to see what the damage was. Their fear of the enemy and of death completely overtakes

The reader will get an increasingly detailed image of how the soldiers emotionally respond to the happenings throughout the war due to this composition.

The exhibit contained upwards of 20 photographs and at least 60 paintings. One of the most agreeable things about the works of art that I witnessed is that collectively, they assisted in recounting the sentiment that gripped the country during the war that threatened to sunder it. One could almost feel the initial enthusiasm as the war broke out, that was swiftly prolonged by numerous clashes over a period of years. There were works that alluded to an impending war, ones that depicted that war, and numerous ones that hinted at a hoped for ending in which the mightiness of the country would someday be restored.

Ron Meuck is one of the artists who can do this job quite well. He will study the entire scenario first and then he will stay at the place where he will created the sculpture in next 6 months. The U.S military functions were able to gain the status of World’s policemen after the war thereby it resulted into rising roles and responsibilities of the U.S military. It not only includes fighting at the border with the military of the other countries but it also includes raising the level of law and order and helping to maintain the peace at the international level. Therefore, the economic strength of the America added to the military strength of the same, that is why they received the status of world’s Policemen. (Robbins, 1990). Moreover, the country was very well able to handle this charge as it was being done in case of Iraq and Afghanistan military wars during 2005. There was stratification of social classes as there was upheaval of the Industrial Revolution. The historical significance of these classes is the increase in the employment of the skilled as well as unskilled labour force which will be reflected in the artwork. Each class had rise in the occupational justice who comes under different income and status, especially the capitalists’ class (Lott,
