Blue Velvet: Scene Analysis The opening scene in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet portrays the theme of the entire film. During this sequence he uses a pattern of showing the audience pleasant images, and then disturbing images to contrast the two. The first shot of the roses over the picket fence and the title track “Blue Velvet” establishes the setting (Lumberton) as a typical suburban town. The camera starts on a bright blue sky with birds chirping and flying by and then tilts down to bright

Many of Edward Hopper's painting's capture the feeling hopelessness and loneliness. That is certainly a reflection of the culture in America at the time of The Great Depression, and the date-stamp of Hotel Room (1931).

Gregory Crewdson’s work is very inspiring, he manages to complete an entire story, an entire character art, all in one image and you really get involved in his world. Using light and colour places a major cinematic role, the picture becomes an operatic framing device, there so rich with props and all the other little details that when you look closer you will find something different. Crewdson works with a medium format camera, eight by ten colour negatives, each print is fifty-nine inches by

Carl Johnson’s life matters. A 90-year-old veteran in Virginia, Carl was the last Tuskegee Airman to graduate from the famed school that produced so many heroic African American aviators. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, the U.S. Army issued Carl a train ticket for a Pullman sleeping car so he could get from Texas to Alabama for his military training in 1946. Carl recalled being told by the station manager that he and his fellow black soldiers were not allowed to use the Pullman

Nighthawks It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Similarly, through careful analysis of a work of art it is possible for one to more deeply understand the ideas that the artist is attempting to express. At first glance, Edward Hopper's painting “Nighthawks” may just appear to be a painting of a normal diner. However, it is only through careful analysis that it is possible to see that the painting actually excels in creating a feeling of darkness, while at the same time portraying

School of Art. While he initially started with learning about illustration, he eventually began to study painting and drawing (Levin, Hopper). At the New York School of Art, he was taught by William Merritt Chase, an Impressionist painter, and with Robert Henri, who was a realist (Murphy). Perhaps being exposed to their teachings were what influenced the approach that Hopper took to his artwork He traveled often to many places across Europe, but as mentioned before, Paris was a particular favorite of his

Form, Content, and Subject Matter GENZ 220Z-Art Critique Paper Shelby M. Dykes In this paper, I will discuss the form, content, and subject matter of three different paintings. Each of the paintings represents the following: representational painting, abstract painting, and a portrait.

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, also known as the “Grandmother of the Computer Age” was a remarkable woman who rose to the challenge of programming the first computer, Mark I. During her lifetime as a leader in the field of technology she founded the basis of modern-day computer language as we know it, essentially teaching computers to speak as well as contributing to the transition from primitive programming techniques to the usage of sophisticated compilers. Due to her extraordinary achievements in

derivative of the “what is the purpose of my leadership” question asked by William George discussed in his article, “Note on why leaders lose their way” (2004, p.2). My leadership style is best illustrated by the following quote by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (US Navy, retired): “you manage things, you lead people.
