Hiroshige Plum Garden At Kameido Analysis
The art piece made by Hiroshige, in 1857 on a woodblock print, is called Plum Garden at Kameido. In this work of art, there are oddly shaped trees that are blooming beautiful flowers. The sky is red and blends into a yellowish white and, eventually, green for the grass. In the background, there is a line of people that seems to be waiting outside of a house-like building. The lines in this art are either zigzag or diagonal. One of the trees that are zigzag is located on the left, along with another zigzag tree beside it. The diagonal line is the skinny branch around the upper right corner, attached to a slightly larger branch of the tree. Also, the red sky and the green grass complements each other perfectly, especially how the

    He is known for his still life paintings. The piece located at the Muskegon Museum of Art is a small arrangement of fruit on a table. The background is a plain grey color and the table that the fruit is all sitting on is a dark greyish black marble one. In the center of the picture is the display of fruit. The arrangement of fruit appears to have a light shone on it, causing it to stand out even more against the dark table and background. There are both white and black grapes, peaches, a pear, two plumbs, some small red berries and some leaves on a stem that I am assuming are part of a grape vine. Some of the leaves are completely green, others are like those in the fall that are on their way from green to red. Every color is present in the picture is present. White grapes, the red berries and the red on the edges of the leaves, orange in the leaves and on the peaches, yellow in the leaves and the peaches, the green stems and the leaves sprouting from them, blue and purple in the grapes that fades into the same shade of black that is the…

    In the novel The Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsukiyama the characters’ Matsu’s and Sachi’s gardens portray beauty as not only on the surface and below the surface but also through emotions. When Stephen saw Sachi’s garden and how different it was compared to Matsu’s he felt different emotions, “Her garden was a mixture of beauty and sadness, the rocks and stones an illusion of movement”(November 19, 1937). Stephen sees Sachi’s garden and realizes that it’s different from Matsu’s because it is just rocks and stones but he finds beauty in the rocks and stones. Her garden shows what she’s been through; her leprosy connected to the sadness that it makes and the beauty connects to how Stephen sees Sachi now even though she has leprosy.…

    The most prominent line in this art work would be vertical, because it leads the eye up /down and down/up and conveys the activity in the picture. Upon first inspection of this work, my eyes are drawn to the church as focal point, mainly because of the positioning of the church and the use of the vertical line from the moon to the kid at the fire hydrant. This identifies the viewers’ point of view and also shows how the moon is used as the light source, as well as the street light positioned just in front of the church. The illusion of space around the church leading up to the moon in the sky is utilized to draw your eye upward as if to signify that it is nighttime. The illusion of depth is utilized here in many ways by the appearance of distance created from the people by the church in back to the increase of people by the apartment steps in front. Aerial perspective is used in this…

Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

    Nowadays there are a lot of different cousins, and it is also not a secret that everyone can order it sitting at home. I would like to discuss about the loveliest food of young generation - fast food. So let me start with the good characteristics of this food and further we will see it from all the sights. For the first it delicious and of course fast - you need not waste a time for cooking. Because of it a lot of people think, that it is a perfect way to give up cooking, but we must not forget, that fast food also can harm our health, dew to it high food concentrate which has a lot of harmful additions. As for me, I sometimes eat fast food, but I try to give up eating such products as Coca-cola, crisps and hamburgers. I would not deny and say such words, that I will never eat fast-food, because I am a student and I lead active life and unfortunately sometimes I just even have to eat it, because it helps me not to waste a lot of time and it is not so expensive. Of course, I think about the bad sides of fast-food, but what can I do if the forbidden things are delicious. There is no such thing as a "bad" food. All foods can fit into a healthy meal plan. It's true that fast food is usually high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium, but eating fast food every once in a while is not going to cause you problems. If you eat too much fast food over a long period of time, though, it can lead to health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.…
