Shadow
The photos of ‘Shadows’ on the opposite page are images taken by me and other artists of the different types of shadows you can get.
With the images that I found on the Internet, the shadows range from those that are created by people to those created by objects. My favourite one is the one with expressions painted in the sand with a shadow of somebody’s face above it. I like this one because it’s simple but effective and one that you can recreate easily yourself. One of my other favourites is the one of 3 people recreating the shadow of someone sitting on the toilet. I like this one because it brings humour to the picture and a unique way of creating a ‘shadow’ picture.
With the images that I took of shadows, they are simple ones created by sunlight at 4 o’clock with the sun on the horizon. I ranged my images with pictures of people posing for the shot and things that were naturally shadowed against a building. My favourite one that was naturally caused is the one with the tree against a building. I like it because it reminds me of the tree on the film Lion King and because you can see how low the sun is from the other buildings shadowing against that building but the tree being the main focus. My other favourites are the ones with YMCA as the main focus and the girl praying under the chapel window. These were both taken next to the chapel as it was a wall that was in the open and no other buildings could alter the image. I like the YMCA one because they are all different images cropped into one. They are all the same person creating the shadow effect against the wall and I lined them differently when editing the picture to show that. I like the one with the girl praying under the chapel window because you cant see the person creating the shadow; you can just see the effect that it has created. Even though I like this image very much, I could have made it better by including the whole of the chapel window in it to show more clearly what it

    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…

    As one moves further away from the “Table” towards the background in the right corn you’d notice a dark hallway which doesn’t mean much but the shading on it is just amazing to me. The ability to cast a shadow from the wall of the lighted area onto the wall that leads away from the picture is an amazing detail to capture. Elizabeth’s shading technique/ skill is outstanding.…

    Shadows that fell on her pupils face indicate the light source comes from the direction of the pupils' left (the right side of the painting) where there could be a window. The vanishing line is at where the elaborate hat lies to enhance the emphasis on the beauty. In the background lie several statues, including the bust of the father. The bust of the artist father is a darker tone due to being in the background, hidden from the light source. That should also be the deepest point of the painting.…

    When reflecting upon Telemachus standing up to the suitors and slowly taking back what rightfully belonged to his family, you see him mature with confidence and courage like his father. He is able to boss around his mother with such confidence it reminds her of her great husband Odysseus. Also with Athena’s help Telemachus is able to achieve what everyone thought was impossible for a young man like him. Her wise influence helps him figure out his role at the palace. “I hold the reins of power in this house,” (28) Telemachus says boldly to his mother in attempt to prove his maturity. This little surge of energy was given to him by his guardian Athena goddess of wisdom and war. She disguised herself as a wise old man then gives Telemachus advice that will help him deal with the destruction of his father’s palace. In this passage lines 13-16 “you suitors who plague my mother, you, you insolent overweening… for this evening let us dine and take our pleasure no more shouting now,”(13-16) with ellipsis’s show that Telemachus was emotionally aware and knew what to do at certain times. He is becoming more self aware like his father, which shows he is maturing in his heart and his mind. Also lines like “All of you destroyed in my house while I go scot-free myself!” (27-28) that have the italicized words put an emphasis on the subject. Showing the suitors he means business when it comes to his family. This shows maturity and confidence he gains with the help of Athena, another thing that shows he’s just like his father.With his goals all set Telemachus takes Athena’s advice to heart and becomes his fathers’ son. He’s new attitude and confidence are shocking everyone, “Astonished she withdrew to her room” (6) this talks about telemachus showing his superior to his mother yet surprising her. And this new found confidence he steps up to the suitors, “Amazed that the prince could speak with so much daring,” (30). He surprises the suitors with a…

    Mad Shadows

    The topic I have chosen to discuss is the function and meaning of dreams and dreaming in fantasy texts. Dreaming, in this context, is an implicit representation of the characters ideals and their wants. I believe the function of dreaming in fairy tales to be a temporary escape from ones reality, a reflection of ones true desires, as well as a tool that gives dimension to the characters, while at the same time allowing the reader to better understand the mind of the characters. This is demonstrated with the characters of Cinderella, in the different versions of Cinderella in the classic Fairy Tales, as well as with Isabelle Marie, in Mad Shadows.…

The text starts off contrasting the background and slowly melts into it. It shows the meeting of the possums and the rabbits. You can see that the animals are becoming intrigued by the change that is coming over the land.…

    Adversity In Night

    • 956 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Racing their way down the ramshackle streets of an all-American slum, two young boys hurry home. Next-door-neighbors on the seedy side of town, the two children share fears, sorrows, and joys. Yet while one boy will attend a prestigious medical school, his friend will join the gang down the street. In their diverging paths, these boys challenge common beliefs about adversity. One such belief belongs to Roman poet Horace. Says the philosopher, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” In the case of the first boy, Horace’s assertion holds true, but his friend’s case reveals its falsehood. Adversity, then, is a fickle matter; one cannot predict whether an adverse experience will…

    The figure would be described as a positive shape while the ground would be the negative shape. According to Robert Berden, "space is defined and determined by shapes and forms. Positive space is where shapes and forms exist; negative space is the empty space around shapes and forms." (Berden, Robert. "Composition & the Elements of Visual Design." Photo Composition Titles. LionStudio, 20 Jan. 2004. Web. 3 Nov. 2016.). When light hits one side of the artwork, it creates a shadow behind it. The color of the man and woman are both a whitish cream color, considering the artwork has been around for about thirty-one years the color has somewhat diminished. The color of the bench is jet black. The texture of the man and woman was solid and firm. Also, it felt uneven and rough due to the crinkliness of the…

    - Impressionists are concerned with capturing a sense of immediacy in their artwork. Their works are assymetrically balanced. The subject matter is often casual and more everyday life pictures and scenes. William Chadwick shows the play of light and shade on the Griswold side porch "On the Piazza". The impressionists unlike other types of artists do not mix their paint colors. They generally use the pure colors to capture their work. Their use of color is also seen in how they depict shadows. Unlike previous artists who used neutral or darker shades like black to paint a shadow, Impressionists used color to show shadows.…
