Period piece

During my visit to the Tampa Museum of Art, I observed and viewed various pieces from The Classical World exhibit. While I observed numerous works, one sculpture stood out when I compared it to the others. In this paper, I will be describing The Torso of Aphrodite, using my own viewpoints and the elements of formal art analysis in order to explain its’ unique qualities that make it different when compared to other pieces in The Classical World exhibit. The Torso of Aphrodite was constructed in the

I chose to observe the Marble Column with Vine Decoration. I chose his piece because of its relation to architecture because of the interest that I have in it. This column is about six feet tall and made of solid marble. It is covered with winding vines that are convexly carved and begin at the base of the column and ascend to the top. The column is situated in a corner which does not permit the viewer to walk all the way around the object easily. It is placed near other Roman and Greek objects as

in California. “Brush Fire” and “The Santa Ana” are pieces that touch upon this pertinent topic. Arguing that the toll taken on civilization in California by annual wild fires is the fault of the humans affected is California native Linda Thomas. In contrast, Joan Didion, also a California-born author, portrays wild fires and Santa Ana winds as evil forces that destroy all in their path. Despite these authors’ diverging perspectives, their pieces intersect in regards to the basic rhetorical strategies

We had to make an art piece based on the images that we included in our collage. You could say thta the main theme was ‘the current waves of our society’. This task let me explore different mediums that could be used for art and I tried to keep creative with the choices: I used

Benjamin Shors. Both of the pieces are only properly juxtaposed upon analyzation of their respective contexts, intended audiences, uses of language, and structures. Context in regards to literary works can best be described as the economic, political, and social situation that was present upon creation of the piece. The advertisement does not explicitly say when it was created, however, it is highly likely that it was produced in the mid-20th century

look at images I suppose, but I want some history. I want the time period, and a description of the artist, two things that play a huge role in what a painting is actually about. I felt like I should just naturally understand what each piece of art was trying to describe to me, which was an irritating feeling. It only took me about twenty minutes to go through the entire museum. Nothing really drew me in, except for a couple of pieces. This was entirely different from my visit to the Art Institute

wore a gray suit. Gregory scampered over from the wall of monitors to greet him.” (Marks 2) When I approach any piece of writing, I synthesize a movie in my head as I write. If I am writing a speech I picture myself at a podium reading, that is just how my brain works. My aim in any work is to create a relevant and vivid image that readers can latch onto. I felt that throughout the piece Wallace had an innate ability to put the reader in the moment. Throughout my readings I always find myself right

theme were the two pieces of gold and her dads gun. The Californian pieces of gold were a big part of the story. Mattie’s grandpa gave the gold pieces to her dad on his wedding. Ever since then Frank Ross carried those two pieces of gold symbolizing union and happiness between him and his Family. When Chaney shot Frank, he took away the gold pieces from him. This symbolized Chaney taking away happiness from the Ross family. Later on in the story, Rooster found one of the pieces of gold in Quincy’s

For many individuals collecting and viewing art might be thought of as a favorite hobby or past time. Individuals might be seen at a local art museum just gazing at a piece of art, exhibiting almost signs of being in a trance of deep thought as one stands front and center, not moving for what seems to be an endless amount of time. The reason for such an appreciation for art, might be what it represents. Lisa Marder writes, “Art can be thought of as a symbol of what it means to be human, manifested

Teresa Palomo Acosta, Teresa how this quilt that her mother made for her incorporates all these pieces of her past that are stitched together. In the short story, “Everyday Use,” a mother describes the effects of living in a low income community and a certain style of parenting that shaped the way her two daughters view their past and their heritage and how both views are completely different. In all these pieces of writing, they all illustrate the effects of beliefs, heritage, and symbolism within a culture
