Water Room: An Analysis Of A Waterhouse

These paintings that are put on display and cause men to act in hysterics, even when they, “see the beached skulls,” (6). The siren says that she doesn’t enjoy being on display and singing to men while leading men to their deaths. Just as women do not usually enjoy being objectified and blamed for men having been ‘led to temptation.’ When the siren sings that she doesn’t enjoy looking picturesque and mythical, she is explaining that she wants to be in the same reality as men. In the “trio, fatal and valuable,” she is expressing that they are seen as a danger yet as something to be taken.

The heavenly portrayal of the background and foreground shows a flawless use of space. The distance between the foreground and background was well selected for this piece. This is die to the fact that the two children are not close enough to exaggerate the way they look but they are also not too far away. The distance covered in the background communicates a message of clarity and relaxation that is evident in the children's faces. Two dimensional portrayal of the painting appears to fit the calculated purpose. The

Standing in front of this sculpture, the viewer can feel the wind whipping around them and the sea spraying you in the face. The energy and motion add to the dramatic effect that immediately draws the viewer in. This dramatic effect is created by the lines of the figure. Nike’s elongated wings catch your eye and create a lengthy transverse line which adds to the drama. The drapery that clothes the figure has the same

This paper will focus on the Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure. Also known as the Hope Dionysos. The statue is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and is located on the first floor Roman and Greek art chamber. Upon entering this sector, you will notice a grand statue that catches your eyes and captivates you as it welcomes you in gracefully. The exhibition is set up in the back center of the room, and is noticeable due to the largeness in scale and the enigmatic yet calming disposition the statue portrays. My first impression of the sculpture was how detailed and realistic the statue is. Since the statue was so defined you would be able to identify what he was wearing and how his body was shaped to how long his hair was during this time period. I was profoundly intrigued by how peaceful the statue of Dionysos embodied and found myself coming back to it and looking in awe. In curiosity, I would choose this statue for my assignment because I wanted to learn more about the history of the Hope Dionysos. In this essay I will be describing my formal analysis of the artwork, the subject matter behind it, the artist and the historical content of the statue of Dionysos.

I love reading and learning about mythological creatures. I enjoy it, even more, to read about how they fit into people's everyday lives. I first read about nymphs in PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF and after that, they have always intrigued me. Nymphs always seem to be understated, graceful and beautiful-rare character traits for a mythological creature. I have always adored how there could be different types of nymphs, each relating to aspects of nature in some way. Their appearances and traits normally correlate to their respective type. I find this so fascinating, it makes me giddy. The ending line of this excerpt spellbinding to me. The fragment about how Renn could only be at peace if she returned to her element is mystifying. That being said, it was heartbreaking to see how Renn's death was carried out, and why. Renn shouldn't have been killed just because she warned her people about people coming to kill them. Renn was wrongfully killed. Her death is even more upsetting because of how much I enjoy learning and reading about

The beautiful town of Stillwater is located on the St. Croix river in the St. Croix River Valley and is known as the Birthplace of Minnesota. The early days of Stillwater were uncertain and uneasy as the land was fought over for many years. The coveted land transitioned from being part of Wisconsin territory to being included in Washington county in 1938. All the while, lumbering interests drew many to the area and white settlers took up residence in Stillwater. One former soldier, Indian trader, Justice of the Peace and promoter, Joseph Renshaw Brown had been in the area since 1820. He had set up a store and farm at Grey Cloud Island and kept a warehouse at the head of Lake St. Croix to supply upriver fur trading operations. This warehouse, which was located where North Stillwater stands today, grew into a small village that he called “Dacotah”. In 1840 the first ferry was licensed to operate across the St. Croix.

This contains a few basic liberties of an American citizen. This painting is less artistic and more pornographic. The student that painted this artwork is displaying herself as a siren. These Women from Greek mythology repeatedly tempted nearby sailors into danger. These sailors, which her boyfriend is being depicted as in the painting did not have a choice, but to succumb to the sexual nature of the sirens.

Jeanne’s older brother Kaz is a reservoir maintenance worker. On the night of the riots, he is one of the only people let outside of the gates of the camp to work. He and the rest of his crew were given pickaxe handles in case of an emergency. The workers head out to their shack where they would spend the night.

In Carver’s short story, “So Much Water So Close to Home,” three men go to Naches River for a fishing trip and encounter a dead young woman in the river. Aware that the corpse is in the river, they continue on with their fishing trip, not reporting it until they travel back home. Carver illustrates the story through the eyes of Claire, the wife of the fisher. Carver depicts the differences in male and female roles of a marriage and their psychological similarities, associated with why there was a need to travel to further waters, when there is “So Much Water So Close to Home.”

The first written record of using a soil less environment was in 1627 by Francis Bacon in the book Sylva sylvarum. By the 1700’s there were many researchers using the “water culture” method. At this point this method was used only for research because they were not exactly sure which minerals and nutrients a plant needed to survive. Various techniques were used with a variety of different nutrient solutions to try and understand how and what plants needed to grow

The second point is how the sculpture echoes the words lamb and beauty. Ovid writes, several times throughout the story, the analogy of predator and prey. Which is

The artist demonstrates the content of the painting in an exquisite way by creating a sense of fierceness. The feeling is creating with the actions of the waters, clouds and sharks. This is very much human versus nature which when looked into deeply. The sky is very subtle with a somewhat naturalistic setting. The sharks have a fire to them which complements the look of despair in the shark's eyes. Then you have the shark which is swooping in the back which causes a feeling of despair.

Obvious from the start is the artist's careful attention to details, illustrated in the richly decorated background and characters' attire. Employing this general density automatically enhances the Virgin's gaze, making it charged with severity, intense. On

Gustav Klimt is another artist from the Art Nouveau movement, but he is more focused on portraying women as elegant erotic characters. A series of paintings that show this erotic idea implied by Klimt are his water nymphs series. Most of the paintings share similar attributes for example, all the female figures seem to be submerged in water; while circular shapes surround them, these shapes have a resembling shape of flowers. In addition, the facial expressions portray this female figures as seductive characters; it is important to make a connection to sirens from Greek mythology, which sang to lure sailors to their

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this
