One of my favorite art works is La Molendera, or The Woman Grinding Maize, by Diego Rivera. The medium of this painting is oil paint on a horizontal canvas that measures 106.7 x 121.9 cm. When I first see this painting, the woman dressed in white with her hair split in two braids, grinding maize on a stone, is what stands out to me the most. It is traditional for women in Mexico that make tortillas to grind the maize, corn, on a rock. In the background I see three already made tortillas baking on top of a ceramic dish. The colors used in the atmosphere are cool toned, which gives you a sense of calm and a soothing sensation. The main colors used here

The color red was perfectly used in the scene where Barbara and Adam droved through the infamous red wooden bridge. They swerve their car to avoid hitting a dog, causing them to drive off the bridge and drown. This important scene showed us the sacrifice they had to make in order to save the dogs life. Also, Betelgeuse and

Red represents passion, strength, violence, and revenge and develops the tone of the novel regarding the Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul, he and Farid are standing in the street when they “passed several more red pickup trucks with armed, bearded young men crammed into the cabs” (265). The red pickup trucks are loaded with people in the Taliban. Hosseini uses the shade of red to represent the Talib men inside the trucks. The men in the Taliban are strong in the sense that they are feared and there are many of them, violent due to the nature of their rule (public executions and the Hazara massacre),, and passionate about ruling over Afghanistan. Red also happens to symbolize blood. The Taliban issues a public stoning to bring justice to a man and woman who disobeyed the holy word of God. After the stoning, “The man in the hole was now a mangled mess of blood and rags” (271). The Taliban were passionate about bringing justice to the man who disobeyed the Quran. Red symbolises the blood that was shed in the name of the Taliban. When Amir is sitting on the sofa, waiting of the Talib man that happens to be Assef to arrive with Sohrab, he notices that “On the table sat a bowl of red grapes” (275). These red grapes act as foreshadowing for the violence that occurs between Amir and Assef. The grapes also represent passionate revenge. Part of the reason why Assef attacked Amir was due to the fact that when

The color red is used in literature as well as throughout The Book Thief to display war, blood, and anger (Morton). Early in the novel, Death associates red with war, “The last time I saw her was red… Then bombs” (Zusak 12), Death uses the

Grupo Mondongo’s medium choice is quite new and their collage is quite extraordinary, its basically a sculpture of small things that most people have likely seen, put together to make it look like a skull in a size of about 5 foot by 4 foot. The artist probably chose to make it a skull because Calavera is a sugar skull that is eaten on days leading up to ‘The Day of the Dead’ in most Latin American countries. The title of the artwork is obviously shown in the sculpture, it shows a skull and has a picture of a skull. The references to these sculptures has a lot of different historical paintings such as, “The Last Supper”, “Lady with an Ermine”, “The Great waves of Kanagawa” and “Michael Jackson and Bubbles.” There are also famous movies such as “King Kong,” “Star Wars,” and “The Terminator.”

This jar have yei’ii design and is at 8 ¾ tall and 8” wide at the handle. This is one of the Faye Tso’s pottery that have won the Second Prize in 1993 during the Museum of Northern Arizona Navajo Artiests Exhibition. This pieces and with other large pieces of pottery like the vase with yei’iis and human figure and the water jar with horned toads. These clay sculpture were made by Myra Tso, Faye’s daughter and it was to honor her grandfather, who sang and prayed for her. The design of horned toads on the pottery are very special because the toads was use in a ritual for praying. All ritual and ceremonies are essential parts of the Navajo way as well as sand painting art that was inspired by those that created ceremony. The dust from gold, diamonds,

There are many different species of snakes that inhabit Arizona, but the Sonoran Coral Snake, the Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake, the Milk Snake, and the Sonoran Shovel-Nosed Snake are particularly interesting because despite being different species they all look like one another. The red, black, and yellow stripes they share can be attributed to evolution and environment. The four species of snakes have different diets, habitats, and distribution, but they do share one environmental element: primary predators. All four snakes have raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers as predators. These snakes have evolved to have stripes because raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers are less likely to eat snakes with red, black, and yellow stripes

The author uses the color red to symbolize love because red is a color that is commonly attributed to heart and passion. When Ethan is watching the dance from outside of the church, he sees a young man that “drew forth a girl who had already wound a cherry-colored “fascinator” about her head...” (pg. 20) Ethan longed to see the beautiful face that was veiled under the red scarf “and it vexed him that another eye should have been quicker than his” (pg. 20) His jealousy had already developed which shows that he has already begun to acquire some feelings for this girl. Red is the color of fire, which is a term when often referred to when there is a connection between people. There is said to be a fire between them when there is passion and love between people. In the same paragraph the word “fire” is also present. When Ethan and Mattie return home after this, they are greeted by Zeena in which the spark between the two disappear and took off her scarf to reveal “lips and cheeks” that were “the colour of the cherry scarf” (pg. 35) When Mattie removes her scarf, it symbolizes their passion fleeting, but it is still within her. The cherry red color of the scarf tied around Mattie’s head symbolizes the love that Ethan developes for her and the love that he feels the moment he sees her since he had “taken to the girl since the first day”.(22) Along with the author using the red color of Mattie’s scarf to

The piece is a red-figured, wine bowl that is attributed to the Niobid Painter. It was made in Athens, Greece around 460-450 BC, and found in Altamura. Puglia, Italy (British Museum). There are two scenes on top of one another that occur in the piece. The top scene is the creation of Pandora. She is standing rigid while five of the gods are standing around her. Athena is about to put a wreath on her head. The scene below displays a frieze of dancing and playing satyrs. Because the vase is round it isn’t possible to see all the figures in the piece. But looking at the piece from the front, six gods are portrayed in the top scene. The gods in the scene from left to right are: Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Pandora, Ares, and Hermes. The gods in the piece are identifiable because of distinguishable traits that certain characters

Life and death have been a frequent subject at works of art. Often, many cultures create myths in order to give an idea of how life and death work. For example, Aztecs from Central Mexico believe in mythical goddess Tlazolteotl. Tlazolteol was known as a “filter eater” who would visit people at the end of their life and free people from guilt or eat their sins. Believed to be an Earth Mother and patron of childbirth, Aztecs created artworks such as a granite carving of Tlazolteotl to give a visual representation of the goddess. The sculpture also gives a direct portrayal of childbirth to help reflect the belief of the Aztec community. The sculpture shows a small women squatting down with a miniature human figure emerging from her. Known as

Her mother was a devout Catholic and passed these strong values down to her daughter, Frida. This can be seen through the crown of thorns around her neck rather than her head, showing herself as a Christian Martyr. The subtle blood that is trickling down her neck may represent that of her ongoing pain through her divorce. The contrasting butterflies on her headdress and bright background of leaves are suggestive of resurrection. Over the left-hand side, a monkey can be seen distracted playing with its hands. It was also a gift from Diego and a symbol of the devil she feels he is. As seen on her left-hand side a Black Cat can be noticed staring down the Hummingbird. Perhaps it is ready to feast on the good as it is a symbol of bad luck. She had experienced great trauma and pain in her life and this could be seen as the bad luck symbolised through the cat. To leave a blank background would be unlike Kahlo; the bright and varied shades of greens and yellows seem to show a wall of uncontrolled nature, possibly expressing her feelings at the time. Looking to the upper half of the painting Dragonflies and Butterflies fly around her hair that is intertwined with cloth, delineating a figure eight like crown filled with purples and maroon. We see the life filled Dragonflies and Butterflies
