Kalsoy By Wojciech Kruczynski
The Course of Life
The photograph Kalsoy by Wojciech Kruczynski is of a green, grassy island with a lone white lighthouse surrounded by nothing except the rolling, rocky hills. There is a shadow of another hill casted onto the bottom of the photograph with a lightly wore trail leading to the small lighthouse. The edges of the picture consist of deep blue ocean water that is crashing against the rocky cliffs of the island. At the top of the picture there is white cloud in the form of an arc hovering over the island and even touching the top of the highest point of the island. Towards the back left side of the island a little stretch of a rainbow can be seen sitting in the sky. In the background there are more rocky islands of in the distance, with darker clouds and deep blue skies. The photograph has the one lonely path going through the different up and downs of the island to the final destination of the lighthouse, similar to the long journey of life everyone goes on through the course of their existence, to get to their final destination or in the photograph the lighthouse.
In the photograph many different colors can be seen. The green grass that covers the whole island

He is also standing at the bottom of a mountain that is behind him, outside of the picture. The mountain that we can’t see creates the message and one of the greatest aspects of the picture, the shadow. If it weren’t for the mountain that he is standing below the path wouldn’t be traveling through the dark shade and into the light and the parts that are in the light wouldn’t look as beautiful. The photographer is also standing at a high point for the foreground where he is looking down at the first part of the photo but on a lower part of the island when it come to the other hills. The different levels of the mountain emphasize the different up and downs that life

    The subject matter on which I am doing this assignment on is a piece of photography. This piece was done by a local photographer Greg Hill. He accordingly named his work “Pierre Pressure”. This piece of photography captures a pierre and its surroundings in Sebastian, Florida. Above the pierre is the focal point of the artwork, a breath-taking Florida sunset. The sunset is constructed of various hues of pink, orange, and yellow. The alluring sunset is ever so slightly hidden by a veil of oddly formed clouds. The water at the bottom of the photograph reflects the beguiling beauty of the sky. To the left side of the print stands the pierre. The pierre itself is in much darker lighting than the rest of the subject matter. The subject matter in…

    The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…

    When you first look at the painting your eye is drawn to a distinct horizontal line that depicts the horizon over the water. There are also curved lines throughout the piece where the waves are located, many of which make up either the ripples over the sand or waves breaking on the shore. These curved lines are what move your eye from the horizon towards the water moving forward as the wave breaks and moves along the sand.…

    I chose this picture because the tree just drew me in. I can see myself sitting in one of the bends of the branches with a book just spending the entire day reading and taking in the peace that seems to surround the area. The knots in the branches show that not all is easy there on Martha’s Vineyard and the weather can be brutal but that the strong can survive. Siskind used a large format camera to take the photograph and then developed it using gelatin silver.…

    Behind this body of water there is a dark grey form of a stretched out mountain. Beyond that mountain there is darker shade of blue water with its own dark shade of grey formed stretched mountain. Above each mountain there are white, sort of fluffy, long clouds hovering over and are about the same length as the subject they hover over. This brings you to focus on the top section of the art. The brightly lit, light blue, slightly cloudy sky takes up the top half of the art.…

    Having what you want and what you need is difficult to balance, especially when you want more and forget about needs, and then there becomes a problem. We always want things in life that we cannot have and need things in life that we often forget about. Life is not always fair, and you get what life dishes out for you. Some receive more out of life, while others do not get as much and this is when people forget what is really needed. The decision of what you want versus need is very hard, because you do not realize what you have, or what you need until you lose it and have to work extra hard to regain what you had.…

    The poem Ancestors by Peter Skrzynecki is a excellent example of belonging and expresses his feeling of not belonging in his family. The poem presents a series of rhetorical questions which reflects on a dream Skrzynecki has had or is having and what he believes the meaning is. We could deduce from this poem and its use of present tense that the dream is a recurring dream about these vague images of Ancestors and how Skrzynecki is desperately trying to understand their relevance to him. In this dream, the ancestors are unfamiliar to Skrzynecki but give off a very powerful presence to him. They appear to have a message for him, but he can’t hear what it is, they are always pointing at him but never speak so there meaning becomes very mysterious. The use of rhetorical questions gives the poem a dramatic feel and makes the reader feel the same frustration that Skrzynecki feels.…

    The page following the book’s title depicts a scene at sea. The whole image is washed with a dark blue from the sky to the ocean, and the crashing waves convey a menacing journey has taken place. At the bottom of the page, if one looks closely, it is evident that the bottom of the wooden raft has been drawn but blends into the rest of the image. This inclusion of the raft changes the perspective of the image as the responder is now been positioned as if they were looking out from the raft, the place of the Man. An immediate bond has now been formed between the responder and the man, and for the rest of the text we continue to sympathise with him.…

    As I look to the scenery I acknowledge its beautiful details. It is a wonder of the world that soon may fell between the cracks. A place that I will cherish all my life, a place that is one of a kind. Two hundred places I’ve seen only once. Vivid in my memory for a few years and but soon may be forgotten. But this did not. It will remain in me forever, and as scroll up it reached the end. The end of my photo album I have in my phone last summer vacation I had with my…

    Guy de Maupassant’s short story “The Horla” is a great example of the notion that art sometimes imitates life. In 1887, while battling the end stages of syphilis and institutionalized for insanity, de Maupassant’s last story “The Horla” was published. In the pages his fictional character, the narrator, chronicles his journey into madness while fighting an unseen beast. The protagonist can be compared to de Maupassant and his own struggle with syphilis and psychosis.…
