Comparing Thomas Kinkade's Beauty And The Beast
Many years ago I saw a copy of Thomas Kinkade’s painting of Beauty and the Beast. He was known as The Painter of Light, and did several paintings especially for Disney. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Belle has always been my favorite Disney princess, because I have always thought that we were similar. We both love to read, are different from the others around us, have brown hair, and tend to always look on the bright side of things. Every time I look at this picture I feel at peace, and am happy. The painting tells the story of Beauty and the Beast in one image. It reminds me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearances. Not everyone is who you think they are at first glance. I love

    The piece of art I choose is from Sentimental Deprivation by Casey Weldon. Casey’s Sentimental Deprivation went on display June 24,17. The piece is very eye catching. It is dark and cloudy the sky is blue but the clouds are pink. There is a group of women there is about 7 of them. One is significantly smaller and on the floor wither hand on her face as she tries to block the light hitting her face. All of them are wearing the same clothes, have dark hair and red eyes. One of them has pink and blue beams and is looking straight at the one girl on the floor. Although they are very similar I think they might be different heights, body types and faces or facial expressions. At first when I saw the painting it made me think of anxiety it also made…

    What struck me when I first saw this painting, other than the pretty flower garland, is how brightly illuminated she was. Her porcelain skin is highlighted as if the sun or some form of light shines down on her. This is in contrast to everything else being much darker. The contrast between her bright aura and the dark surroundings could the author’s way of symbolizing Madame de Thorigny’s status and wealth. It could also be a way of emphasizing her being the focal point of the painting. I noticed her gaze…

    Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…

    As I walked around with a copy of this piece in my school bag for a week or so, I often thought about what I could possibly say about this painting/artist. Also during this time, I shared this painting with a couple of people, and asked them what they thought of the piece without telling them what it depicted. One individual stated, “They look sad about something.” Another individual stated, “The people appeared shame for some reason.” Then I informed them what the piece was and they wanted to look at it again, they were quite impressed with the work after they realized what it was about.…

    The portrait depicts the buxom upper body of a young woman who is seated in a chair with a distant landscape that is visible in the backdrop. Installed in the painting using what is called the “Pyramid Design”, the woman is portrayed at eye level with a small distance between her and the point of view of the artist, as if you were seated near her but forced to keep at bay. This gives the viewer a feeling of allurement coming from the woman and causes your eyes to be drawn closer to hers. It is interesting to note that the woman has no facial hair of any kind including eyebrows or eyelashes, although recent scientific discovery proves that facial hair was…

    You can see these aspirations in small details throughout the entire painting, such as the couple. As they sit across from each other in their home, the man and his wife pause from their readings and smile over at each other. The woman sits on a bench and rests one hand on her round belly as the other hand holds up her book. In between them is a round table with a vase holding a single spiky branch that separates into two branches at the top as red flower buds begin to bloom on the branch, bringing a sense of unity into the picture. The room is very simple with only a few pieces of furniture and a mirror hanging on the wall. The lack of decoration in the room creates the idea of finding happiness in the simple…

    A 1991 animated musical/fairy tale, “The Beauty and the Beast” became the sensation for adults and kids bringing out emotions and thoughts from the movie to everyday life. Two completely different personalities come together and find more than what they see on the outside. The differences between them are major and the film is well developed as how it all begins telling the story of both separately but at the same time. The original animated “Beauty and The Beast” was significant because it showed values on how important it is to not prejudge an individual.…

    Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the most well known fairy tales that the Grimms ' reproduced. In it 's original form it was a long, drawn out story that was catered to adults. The Grimms ' changed the story to be more understood by children and made it short and to the point. Unlike many of the other fairy tales that they reproduced, Beauty and the Beast contains many subtle symbols in its purest form. It shows a girl and how she transfers to a woman; it also shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The one major thing that separates this story from all the rest is that Beauty gets to know the Beast before marrying him.…

    The figures are basic line paintings with very little detail. This gave me the idea that a person could love even the simplest things in life. This artwork also represents a certain emotion, that being antique love, which is a more delicate and rare to find kind of love as that is what I understood by the title Antique Love. This again showed me another way of how society has interpreted love all differently and that there is not only one specific type of love. The two figures clinging onto one another has influenced my artwork in the sense that society is one and that society is all united, this is represented with the two hands being held…

    Brothers Grimm Fairy TalesOnce upon a time as a merchant set off for market, he asked each of his three daughters what she would like as a present on his return. The first daughter wanted a brocade dress, the second a pearl necklace, but the third, whose name was Beauty, the youngest, prettiest and sweetest of them all, said to her father: "All I'd like is a rose you've picked specially for me!" When the merchant had finished his business, he set off for home. However, a sudden storm blew up, and his horse could hardly make headway in the howling gale. Cold and weary, the merchant had lost all hope of reaching an inn when he suddenly noticed a bright light shining in the middle of a wood. As he drew near, he saw that it was a castle, bathed in light. "I hope I'll find shelter there for the night," he said to himself. When he reached the door, he saw it was open, but though he shouted, nobody came to greet him. Plucking up courage, he went inside, still calling out to attract attention. On a table in the main hall, a splendid dinner lay already served. The merchant lingered, still shouting for the owner of the castle. But no one came, and so the starving merchant sat down to a hearty meal. Overcome by curiosity, he ventured upstairs, where the corridor led into magnificent rooms and halls. A fire crackled in the first room and a soft bed looked very inviting. It was now late, and the merchant could not resist. He lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep. When he woke next morning, an unknown hand had placed a mug of steaming coffee and some fruit by his bedside. The merchant had breakfast and after tidying himself up, went downstairs to thank his generous host. But, as on the evening before, there was nobody in sight. Shaking his head in wonder at the strangeness of it all, he went towards the garden where he had left his horse, tethered to a tree. Suddenly, a large rose bush caught his eye. Remembering his promise to Beauty, he bent down to…
