Visual Elements Of Festoys And Mannequins In The Cocktail Party

Fran admired and collected other artist’s work for her home, but also as part of her trove of infinite objects that often made their way into her art. From the mad jumble of countless boxes and bags in her studio came often playful “bricolage” works of beauty, humor and imagination. She taught for many years at the New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts, the Newark Museum and was actively teaching until just weeks before her death last year. An award-winning artist, she exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, Victoria and Albert Museum, and in galleries throughout New Jersey. She began her eight-decade career as a fashion designer before moving into painting, printmaking, found art sculpture, book and paper making, and other multi-media arts. Fran studied art at the American School of Fine Arts, Newark School of Fine Arts, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. The works in this exhibition were generously donated by Fran’s family to The 1978 Maplewood Arts Center. Proceeds from all sales will benefit the center as well as public art in the

We must also deduce whether the balance is symmetrical or asymmetrical. If one splits the painting in half, one can see it is not completely balanced. You have more “weight” on the right-hand side than you do on the left. However, regarding art, it is balanced. Even though there are more objects on the right, the values of the bright white shirt give it a sense of equal distribution. This uneven, yet balanced proportion of the art tells the viewer that it is asymmetrical. It is asymmetrical because it is unequally distributed, yet it is still

A carnival is an event that entails some form of public celebration which includes a simplified version of a circus, costumes, masks and is aught time accompanied by some form of street or community party. With this in mind, Pulitzer Prize Winning novel, Dressing up for the Carnival stories, written by Carol Shields, enlists the reader for getting ready to go to the carnival. However, Shields is not getting us ready for an actual carnival, The stories that were analysed from the book are, “Dressing Up For The Carnival”, “A Scarf”, “Weather”, “Flatties” and “Keys”. Each story ultimately offered its own individual flare and highlighted how effective Shields was in captivating the interest of the reader through the entire collection of stories.

The audience then became lost and frightened as there were no signs leading them to their next destination, once again forcing them to partake in the performance. This physicalisation not only successfully involved the contemporary audience, but demonstrated the necessity of physical composition to give audiences that real experience. This use of physical composition provided immediate reaction and emotional expression through action and contrast. These elements ultimately enhanced the mood and symbolism of the performance, allowing audiences to not only partake in the production on an intimate level but also on an emotional level. Another way in which mood and symbol can be created is through the use of complicité.

The artwork is a complex mixture if colors, shapes, and tints. In the painting, there are eight figures. Seven that is to the center and left of the painting and one on the right. The seven persons on the left are all either touching each other or interlocked with someone. Of that seven, six are men and one is a female. There is a man in

On any given evening during the quintessential 1950s, shakers and movers of a very unsquare world could be found gathered at cocktail parties in sleek suburbia homes, ultra swank bachelor's pads, or mirrored lounge/living combos in "Anywhere, USA". While the libations flowed, those edgy revelers were trying out their well rehearsed and choreographed, goo goo eyed social moves on one another, intent on making an impression. Other party goers were working the room, culling for a new client or perhaps clinching a huge business deal the company execs had awaited for months.

This piece has quite a few elements like the use of musical ideas. There are both A and B ideas expressed through the music lasting no longer than six seconds. This of course is different pertaining to solos due to the fact

The Birthday Party by Katharine Brush utilizes personification and imagery to help communicate her message. Her message was that woman in the 1940’s were mistreated and how society saw woman.

The piece is pretty balanced, it is more or less partitioned into four parts by the strong horizontal line in the middle and the road meeting with the edge of the forest vertically, the lighter areas in the top right and bottom left,

Beginning a formal analysis by exploring the composition of the work, in this particular case, is to begin with how a viewer would experience the painting. The forms closest

Dressing Up For The Carnival, written by Carol Shields, effectively explores how our Identity is a construction, something that is multi layered and complex which in turn accentuates how there is more to an individual then meets the eye. Dressing up for the Carnival is a collection of short stories about conventional people all having a unique identity. There is no conflict within the story,However, all characters share this common aspect of identity which is we are all yearning for a sense of fulfilment life. Throughout this short story the third person, Shifting omniscient perspective reveals to us that we are all struggling with who we are. An evident example of this is perspective in the story is when shields illustrates the emotions

Finally, the depiction of figure is perhaps the most interesting and intellectually challenging element in this piece. The figure, while emotionally withdrawn from the viewer, is physically imposing. She is looking down and away from the viewer, as if the isn’t aware that she is being watched. Her mask-like facial features also do little in the way of conveying emotion. Her body, however, is quite different. The dark thick lines shaping her muscles and limbs, the detail in the curls of her hair, the placement of her fingers, and her exposed breast all demand the attention of the viewers’ eye. The bold lines that define her legs, waist, and hip, make her seem intrusively part of our space. The awkward placement of her

Also, collaged images of woman 's genitalia were cut out and spaced all around the portrait. The spaces were carefully used to show that the collages were floating around the woman. The artist used overlapping technique to show certain collage cut-out appear closer to the viewer. He pasted some collage over and some behind the woman that you could see through with the overlapping. The collage images were abstract that you could barely tell that they were buttocks until you zoom in and see them close up.

The little girl’s dress gives the texture of lightness and seems like airy fabric that would be thin and translucent. The time in this piece is very accurate of the late 1700’s and when viewing it, the time seems classic. The emphasis of this piece is mainly the mother and the daughter, however when looking at them you are drawn into looking at their realistic eyes. The eyes seem like the focal point which draws the viewer in to the picture.

In these works, there is also evidence of the nature of the technique, the presentation style and the response of the audience”(20).
