The Reason behind Discovery Once I found this painting my initial reaction was that I wanted to be able to see his face and was extremely bothered by the apple in the front. As I continued to look at the photo I soon realized that I could actually see both of his eyes to the slightest extent. After noticing this I was somewhat relieved that I could at lease see a small amount. The piece of the painting that drew most of my attention simply because I felt that it was completely out of place. Therefore by it being there I was both confused and upset at the same time. At this point I had not reading the meaning behind why the author had decided to place it there and therefore was confused and began to think that I was possibly looking at a modified painting of some kind. The man can be seen as a problem and the apple can be seen as a distraction from the problem. There are several techniques that were utilized the artists in order to cause the viewer to react in specific ways. One of these is by making the painting completely balanced by placing the man and the apple in the direct center of the painting. Not only did the artist place the object in the center but he also made the rest of the objects in the painting significantly lighter. By doing this it causes the viewer to put more focus onto the man and the apple. In terms of dominance, the artist made it so the man is the largest object inside of the photo and therefore most of the attention goes towards him. The
The viewer’s eyes are meant to stay on the picture, but we surge upwards towards the blue sky. When I look at the painting I travel into the man eyes. It raises questions like what he has been through or what stands in front of him.
to its discovery by Europeans. As legal justification for the removing of Indian Tribes from their ancestral lands, Pope Francis V’s Doctrine of Discovery was applied. There are many elements to this doctrine and as time wore on, more and more of them were used by the government of the United States as legal justification for what at its base can be seen as both theft and ethnic cleansing. Each of the ten elements plays an important role in what transpired on this continent and shall be discussed to further clarify the actions taken by the U.S. government.
Sometimes mistakes can lead to great discoveries. An explorer can be searching for a waterfall and then trip and fall into a hidden cave. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this topic. Like in “Lost Cities, Lost Treasure”, “How a Melted Bar of Chocolate Changed Our Kitchens”, and “In Praise of Careful Science”. These things can change people's lives in good and bad ways.
In the painting there is a fair balance, as every character except Mary is on the left side of the scene, but they are all pointing and looking towards Mary. So, while the focal point of the scene is obviously Mary, there are important figures and symbols on all levels of the picture. Also almost everything in the scene has at least some significance, and none of the figures are independent and, rather, are in union with each other.
His hand is positioned on the bottom left of the frame with the fingers and palm situated towards the middle left side. The shoulders positioned in the top third cut through representing a horizon. The direction of the fingers makes your eye travel around the painting, the tie the slices through the middle of the shirt, the cuff of the shirt cuts across to stop your eye falling out of the frame, the lightness balancing all the darkness. The mouth dominates the image and drags you eye back to the
Discovery inhibits the ability to embrace new beginnings and accept a sense of change whether it is found or forced upon an individual. The places you travel and the people you meet can emotionally revolutionize a self-discovery through unexpected but anticipated terms evoked from curiosity. ‘Swallow The Air’ written by Tara June Winch and ‘The Thing Around Your Neck’ written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie break the inhibitions of vulnerability, as their ideas represented through cultural contexts and values, lead to an overall self-discovery.
It looks like the main focus of this painting is literally in the center of the piece. Anyone that were to ever view this painting could tell from the beginning that the overall view of this content is pathos. In the main section of the painting, there is an image of a person who is getting poured some type of liquid over their head. In this image, we can see the person in the center with no shirt on, and they have a small blue robe type of clothing tied below their waist. Around this person there are two figures with wings, they are wearing mini white gowns and their wings are white also. There is a person next to the wing like figures, that is pouring some type of liquid above the other person, this other human like
The artist depicts an initial confusing and weirded-out thought for the viewer at first glance, but as one deeply examines the art, the subject matter begins to become more clear. The vision being shared in this non-objective painting has a context of placing one in the standing of Mr. Man by gaining height and freedom from the (white) bars that are rising on each level that represent conflict which traps one in a “cage” of misery. The unbalanced symmetry of having the left side take up more space with little action, and the right side being smaller with the action unraveling, makes the viewer break down each composite perspective. For the left side, the mysterious female muse, Moon-Face, has an unproportional face that is almost blushing with shades of light pasty orange, with the mouth wide open. The energetic mood is amplified by the tone of yellow that is splashed in the mouth, representing a loss of words or at a state of disbelief. The female’s lower half is created with tints of red that enhances the curves on her body, as if chiaroscuro connects the light and dark contrast to show outline of the breasts, stomach, and hips in
As the artist said in his own words, “There are people who say: ‘What is your picture of?...What?...There’s an apple, obviously, there’s…I don’t know…Ah yes! A plate, next to it…’ These people appear to fail utterly to appreciate that what is between the apple and the plate is being painted as well. And, to be honest…the space between seems to me to be as essential an element as what they call the object.” (Ditto
His work as the fruit and the Compute was one of the most recognized arts in the mid nineteenth century. People buy this kind of art to decorate their houses and restaurants. When I saw the picture in the first time, it looks very inquisitive to me. I start to think what’s the meaning behind it? The picture delivers a metaphor which it conveys a satisfying sense of wealth and abundance.
In Rene Magritte’s “Le Prêtre Marie”, he gives two ordinary apples an equivocal quality and makes them characters of the painting by putting masks on them. He also gives the apples a lively green color to make them catch the eye of viewers. This will draw people in to look at the painting and then they will be diverted into the world the apple is in. This was the goal of Magritte so that his paintings could help people forget the hurting world they are living in.
Magritte places the details in “The Son of Man” in a peculiar style. An example of how he does this is the green apple that’s painted in front of the man’s face. In the painting the apple is in front of the man’s face, covering it. Although it doesn't completely cover the man’s face, on both sides of where the apple is covering the face, the edge of the eyes and the creases of the mouth are still visible. The creases of the mouth indicate that the man is frowning. The facial expression is a significant detail towards what Magritte is creating which is a curious mood, and that’s why the apple is in front of the man’s face. There are many other details within the painting that show what Magritte was trying to create.
When I saw the painting for the first time it grabbed my attention. At first I thought it was the beautiful colors that attracted me to the painting, but it was more. In the picture the shadowy men look scared. They looked as though they were trying to run away from something and this lake that forms into this river that is surrounded by tall grass is the way out, or at least a place to hide until the coast is clear. During that time in my life I felt
The Son of Man is a self-portrait. The painting represents a man in black coat pant with white shirt and a bowler had on his head. He is standing in the front of a short wall. The background shows sea and above it, there is sky with dark gray clouds. The surprising thing in the painting is that the person’s face is covered with a green color apple. The man's eyes can be seen looking over the edge of the apple. His left arm is bend to backward. The artist explains that the painting shows the human curiosity to see the things. The person always wants to see the hidden part. There is always an interest to see what is hidden and what the visible thing is hiding behind but then one is often angry with this interest. This painting brings that frustration or angriness in this painting by putting the person’s face behind the green apple. The argument between the observable that is available and the noticeable that is covered up.
Humanity’s interest in unknown world has been universal and enduring. Accompany with human development, discovery the unknown world has become more and more important to human life. Some people think discovery is a good thing. They will tell you how X-ray used by medical professionals to help diagnose and treat a wide range of medical problems. They will also tell you what a mass your life will be if Benjamin Franklin did not discovered electricity. But other argue people think discovery bring disaster to human. They will tell you if Martin Heinrich Klaproth did not discover uranium, maybe atomic bomb would not been invented. Although the question about whether discovery always a good thing has so many
