Analysis Of My Artwork: Killing The Dead
Lovely Bones Assignment

The title of my artwork is "Killing the Dead". The subject matter of my artwork is landscape, narrative history. The medium that are used for my artwork was watercolour pencils and the technique that I used was colouring both horizontally and vertically.

The elements of design that are shown are movement, balance, and unity. The elements of design were arranged so that they would looked together and clean. The emphasis in my artwork is the skull. I've made the location of the skull important because it is the biggest image in my art piece. Rhythm has been shown because I've repeated the same elements time and time again almost like there are alternating. Balance has been shown because the artwork is asymmetrical.

    The two art works that I’m going to be talking about are Statue of Venus (the Mazarin Venus), and Gravestone with a Woman and Her Attendant. The Statue of Venus is from the Roman culture, it’s located in the room called The Art of the Trojan War. It’s located in the center of the room is the first thing you see once you enter the room, on the left side of the statue in the left corner you see The Relief with Achilles, Thetis, and Worshippers. Gravestone with a Woman and Her Attendant is from the Greek culture, it’s located in the room called Women and Children in Antiquity.

    My choice was VUW Classics 1957.1. This vase can be identified as an amphora as it has two upright handles joint to the body and a neck narrower than the body. Amphorae are usually used for carrying wine or storing oil. This particular Amphora is used for wine; this conclusion can be deducted from the vase’s decoration. Common people at symposia would have used this to drink wine; simple wares were used for everyday household purposes. We know that the vase was used regularly because the inside is painted black, which makes it look more aesthetically pleasing and it also increased the life of the vase.…

    Throughout the 1960’s the majority of the news was focused on death. Throughout the 60’s multiple assassinations occurred as well as the start of the Vietnam War. Employment rates were dropping and the nation was in turmoil. The nation’s people were afraid of death and likely began seeing it as unavoidable. They had lost a president and a Civil Rights Leader and many had family and friends who were sent to war. It probably seemed that everyone was doomed and no one was invincible.…

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

    The nature of existence in the Kingdom of the Dead is dissimilar to the Christian ideal of heave; the Kingdom of the Dead is a dismal place to be. Odysseus describes them as “shambling, shiftless dead” (p. 251). Existing in the Kingdom of the Dead is not a pleasing affair. People exist in death exactly how they died; the “men of war” are still wearing the bloody armor they died in (p. 250). The dead seem to be able to remember who they are, but they are not able to speak until Odysseus allows them to touch or “approach” the blood Odysseus spilt from the sheep (p. 254). Once they do so, the dead can only speak the truth (p. 254). If Odysseus were to ignore them, they would fade away (p. 254). To reach the dead, Odysseus uses milk and honey,…

    I never used to write. In fact, I didn’t much like it. Little did I know that writing would become obsolete and a physiological requirement for the well being of my life. From an early age on all I did was read. I grew up in an isolated environment where books were my escape, and escape was necessary from the hardships of home. I remember being a young seven-year-old boy wearing a pillowcase around my neck fastened with a pen. I was eating animal crackers at the time, and my step dad was calling out for me. I stood up from my crouched position and raised my hand as I learned from pre-school, and said, “ I’m here daddy.” At that moment my step father grabbed me by the cape harshly compressing my trachea purposefully, shaking me back and forth with his hands around my neck as I began to choke on the appetizing cracker animal crumbs within the back of my throat. I didn’t understand at the time what was really going on. My mother came out of the room and my dad acted as if nothing happened and told me to…
