The Last Supper - Original Writing

“Well, I know it ain't Eli or Henry,” said Nancy, “they rode off to the North Country, this morning.”

This textual evidence was then followed by a statement by many interviewed volunteers. These volunteers felt that their work at the soup kitchen was the only thing they participated in that made them feel as though they were doing a good deed. Seeing as how Americans have no concern for the amount of food they waste, and seeing as how Americans rely on the constant need of food as some sort of confidence boost goes to show the reader that there is no actual cure for hunger – because no one truly cares enough to find one.

When Jeannette was a child, and they were not running out of food, Jeannette was happy. As long as she had a

My mom always commanded, “Don’t take your emotions out on food.” In her essay “Young Hunger,” M.F.K. Fisher uses three anecdotes to prove her argument about the hunger young people have for love and attention. On the other hand J.J. Goode through “Single-handed Cooking” writes about the difficulties that a disability such as having no arms could introduce even with small chores such as cooking. Food represents struggles in the lives of both M.F.K. Fisher and JJ Goode. Fisher and Goode are both lacking something that they are trying to fill with food although the result they obtain is different.

[1] Before I start this essay, I feel the need to remind the reader that I find slavery in all its forms to be an oppressive and terrible institution, and I firmly believe that for centuries (including this one) bigotry is one of the most terrible stains on our civilization. The views I intend to express in the following essay are in no way meant to condone the practices of slavery or racism; they are meant only to evaluate and interpret the construction of slavery in film.

Leonardo's "Last Supper" is a priceless piece of art with much hidden meaning and obvious talents bestowed upon a wall. Under the study of Verrocchio as a painter and a sculptor, he was able to use his skills in creating a very detailed and a very naturalistic piece of work that would be remembered for hundreds of years. He was also able to create characters with amazing individuality. Not only was his portrayal of the characters magnificent, but the symbolism he used which emphasized the story being told in the "Last Supper".

Andres Martiz Jr.'s "The Last Supper To Go" sits low on the wall of the Florida Gulf Coast University Art Lab, just above the floorboards. It stands in stark contrast to the plain white wall behind it, attached there by two golden chains and two nails. The actual print of The Last Supper rests on a board with four wheels, not quite parallel to the wall. The visible image of The Last Supper is actually a reflection on a mirror fastened against the wall. The viewer must get quite close to the work in order to discern what the mirror is reflecting.

Leonardo da Vinci’s, Last Supper and Tintoretto’s, The Last Supper these paintings differ in media, layout, and the way the last supper is portrayed. Roughly a hundred years apart and two separate periods of time, Leonardo da Vinci’s painting was rendered in during the High Renaissance style, while Tintoretto’s painting was created during Mannerism. Da Vinci’s Last Supper was made out completely different media than Tintoretto’s The Last Supper.

For example in his painting “ The Last Supper” and in previous paintings that were the exact same it is very clear not just which is better but also you can just tell how much of the details are actually there. Although Leonardo also just wanted his painting to be scientifically correct, it just so happened that his paintings came out more precise than others for the simple reason that Leonardo needed to have his paintings scientifically correct.

‘and why can’t you help it?’ ‘Because,’ said the hunger artist, lifting his head a little and speaking, with his lips pursed, as if for a kiss, right into the overseer’s ear, so that no syllable might be lost, ‘because I couldn’t find the food I liked. If I had found it, believe me, I should have made no fuss and stuffed myself like you or anyone else.’ (8)

In Leonardo De Vinci’s, The Last Supper, the first thing that stands out is the commotion going on around Jesus, the center figure. He is calm and looking downward as if he is alone, while the disciples around the table talk and interact with each other. It is also interesting that all the disciples are seated on one side of the table, but are still either looking at Jesus or have their arms stretched out towards him. Jesus looks quiet and sad, unlike his disciples who appear excitable and as if they all have something to say.

Scholarly methods used to study the Gospels include using analytical methods and tools of biblical criticism to better comprehend the nature and reason of the early Christian written works (Harris, 2014, p.122). Specifically, historical, criticism, form criticism, literary criticism, and narrative criticism are literary methods used to study the Gospels. Historical criticism analyzes a document by using a combination of vital procedures to explain the historical process related to the creation and the end results of that evolution. Scholars and historians use various testing methods to test the accuracy, authorship, composition date, composition place, social and cultural influences, and intended audience (Harris, 2014, p.123). Form criticism

Any kind of art is a glorious thing in that it could be created from anything, and is filled with meaning. Many artists have influenced new types of arts and new techniques that would change how these artists paint by them learning new adaptations in painting. The early renaissance is a great place to start if you have a high fascination with art, art in the early renaissance was largely religious, with an interest in nature, and the artists paid more attention to human anatomy. Northern renaissance art is also based off of religion but they are also based off of everyday civic interests, and the artists were interested in realism but not in the classicism that interested their early renaissance counterparts. High renaissance art works demonstrate

As we near the end of the semester, it is important to reflect back on what was discussed and learned. We have viewed many pieces of work over the last few months including relatively old pieces as well as modern ones. With everything in life, one will develop their personal opinion on the matter. With that being said, I have chosen two pieces of work to contemplate: one being positive and one being negative. There were many pieces throughout the semester that I could develop a positive or even a negative response to, however, the following are my top two pieces in each aspect.

“The best way to explain it to you, if I even can, might take a while. Is that okay?”
