Chess piece

Response: My favorite piece of art that’s been displayed, or at least talked about so far, this semester has got to be the little berserker chess pieces from the Germanic Tribes lecture. While not necessarily a primary piece of art, the small sculptures represent the tribe of Viking warriors that fought fearlessly. In detail, the depictions of the berserkers show them wielding swords and shields as if they always stood ready to battle. Then to add to the appeal, the berserkers in the chess set are biting

Some of the best visuals in Parker's movie adaptation of Othello were not in the script, the black and white chess pieces, water, wedding, sea burial, the dagger, and the glimpses of Cassio and Desdemona together. The chess pieces seem to symbolise Iago's plan to destroy Othello and Desdemona and also the sea burial later in the movie. Oliver used a lot of fire and water images throughout the movie, water seemed to represent

Independent Reading Reflections #1- Quote: “He had no idea what he was. Half of something, a quarter of something else, brown skin and black hair like his dead mother, but with weird blue eyes like his father.” Response: This is important to the development of the story because it gives us descriptions as to what he looks like, so we can better visualize the character as the plot progresses. It also describes a little bit of what his father looks like and what his dead mother used to look

The Bust of Carol Janeway (1943) is a bronze sculpture of an abstracted female half-figure with a long facial expression. Her head is tilted to the right and her face is pointed towards the ground. Only the right side of her face can be recognized as a female head. The back left side of her head has been whipped out only showing her hair and is facing the viewer. The front left side of her head is flat and shows the nose, left eye, and part of the hair. The right eyeball is rolled up into the lids

subject seem more personal or conveys the scene of it in a manner that is more relatable to the human spirit. Life through Dame Laura Knight’s eyes was filled with emotion and a form of romanticism. Regardless of subject matter, Knight creates her pieces in a manner that captivates the viewer, making them question the backstory and meaning behind them. Laura was born a Johnson on August 4, 1877 in Nottingham, England. Her personality was very much that of a tomboy, based on her mindset and how different

Thoreau and King use many similar strategies in their writings. One uses these strategies to make their piece more effective. King 's persuasive letter to the clergyman, Letter from Birmingham Jail was far more effective than Thoreau’s Lecture On the Duty of Civil Disobedience directed towards americans ready to change things, and here is why. King’s article was more effective because he strives towards tugging on the audience 's heartstrings rather than the logical side, his repetition proved to

proceed by each pulling a piece of folded paper out of the box. Mr. Summers calls attention, and each of the men opens their piece of paper. A man named Bill Hutchinson has the piece of paper with a black dot on it. Each member of the Hutchinson family is then called up to the black box, and they each pull a piece of paper out. One by one they each open their piece of paper until somebody gets the black dot. The children, Bill Jr, Nancy, and Dave, all get by with a dotless piece of paper. When it

Reflection - Graphic Representation: My sequential artwork represents the introduction to Little Snow White by The Brothers Grimm, from the beginning, when her mother wishes for a child, to when her step mother, the Queen, did not rest, as she was envious of beautiful Snow White. I selected this section of the story as it portrays Snow White’s continuously growing beauty and the Queen’s competitive envious response, which is a main insight into her identity as an innocent pawn in the Queen’s cruel

Movements have always been apart of American history, whether religious or political. Two literature pieces strongly centered behind a movement are Martin Luther King Jr.’s “A Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards. Both pieces were influential to their movements; although, different techniques were used by both authors. Given that both of these pieces had influence on the movement, it raises the question of which argument was more effective. Under

Lamassu are two very remarkable pieces in the history of artwork. The Lamassu is an enormous piece in weight as well as height. The Colossal Statue of King Tutankhamen is also an enormous piece, but instead, the height is the only thing that sets it apart from the Statue of King Tutankhamen. The height of both pieces is very intimidating because they are both taller in relation to people. With both pieces being this tall, the viewer is able to interact with the pieces more than the smaller ones. The
