Julian Schnabel is an artist that painted many interesting painting. I like his paintings because they are different from other paintings and creative. Plate paintings, which are made up of broken ceramic plates, are one of his well known art work style.…
Eric Schwitsbebel’sargument in the beginning of the paper talks about not remembering the name of his roommate but also still being able to say some information about him. Which means that although he is not fully correct on the information he still does know some things. This goes with his example of the teacher and explaining prime number. He says that it is logical to think that one is a prime number but that it is not and it could bring some confusion to the students when they ask about it. So instead of confusing the kids and them thinking it is a prime she should specify in the beginning that every other number that are prime, except one. Although she may believe that one is a prime this would not say that she believes in it nor that…
Even the lyrics of Shadow Waltz stress the power of imagination: “Let me dream a song that I can bring to you . . . Let me linger long, let me live my song.” During the Great Depression, viewers wanted to leave their harsh realities and escape into the world of entertainment, if only for a while. However, escape is ultimately fleeting; as the shot of the flower creating ripples in the pond illustrates, illusion is always broken. Likewise, the concluding shot of the audience members and the lowering curtain reminds the viewer that the fantastical “reality” of “Shadow Waltz” is merely an illusion, a musical within a…
Gahret is an annoying little turd. He will beat you up and take your lunch money. One time he rubbed glue in my hair. I was pulling chunks of hair out of my head for a week. He hates his little sister and bit her once. She still has a scar on her face were he bit it.…
The artist that peeked my interest the most within the, Art 21: Time video was Paul Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer appears to me as a man who understand the significance of his surroundings. Like myself Pfeiffer is attracted to events that bring in a crowd like sporting events, he works on showing the relationship between objects, what is around the object, and what role the object plays where it is. Pfeiffer even believed of himself as a translator not an author, meaning that what he is showing in his art isn’t his own he is recycling these materials, and displaying them in his own perspective, which I believe is very humble of him to admit.…
During spare time I've gotten the chance to sit down with author Atul Gawande. I began with asking him a few questions about his job and the few things that he may have gotten out of it. He gave me some pretty descriptive answers.…
The emphasis on making ‘art about art’ which is the focus of his non-representational abstract paintings, contrasts clearly with the focus on social critique that was integral to Bennett’s earlier work, and is intended to provoke viewers thinking and opens up new possibilities for understanding the subjects he…
The three characters that relate to me are the three characters I aspire to be.The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Pig from Back at the Barnyard for his/her companionship, Rick from Rick and Morty for his/her way of questioning things, and Naruto for his/her determination.…
Artists are temperamental. Artists are misunderstood. Artists are discontented. Their struggle for another ‘golden age’ is what drives them on to create transcendent works of art, but it can also lead to an artist’s demise. Such is the case of Midnight in Paris. Such is the case of Woody Allen; the artist.…

In America, there is a hunger to be cast as a hero, especially to those whom a person loves and admires. In both William Dean Howell’s “Editha” and Charles W. Chesnutt’s “Passing of Grandison”, the authors show the absurdity of this obsession with heroism near the turn of the 19th century. Through the use of character foils, Howell and Chesnutt use their secondary characters to show the severe consequences of heroic measures for the sake of impressing another, which is especially important “Passing of Grandison” as Chesnutt reveals that true heroism comes from fighting for the freedom of yourself and others.…
Dali himself was best known for his surrealist work and was influenced by the 'surrealist manifesto' written by Andre Brenton. Surrealism was a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s; it included elements of surprise, unexpected juxtaposition and non-sequitor. The artists expressed their feelings for the first time rather than painting portraits of people. In Dali's case his 'persistence of memory' is an abstract and almost a nightmare to make the audience appreciate his perception of the subconscious and to make the images distinctively visual. The subconscious part of you is always aware of past experiences, beliefs, and always aware that death is coming, it triggers feelings of fear and anxiety. The subconscious is seen as a different dimension that is half way between sleep and awake. This painting has been seen as a visual depiction of Einstein's theory of relativity which states that time itself cannot be fixed.…
Pretty much as Vincent Van Gogh, I likewise thought amid his period that present-day life, with its steady social change and concentrate on advancement and achievement, estranged individuals from each other and from themselves. As we all know individuals experiencing an unbalance mental condition as Van Gogh did were not in contact with the truth. I think Van Gogh unbalance condition was overpowering while he searched for a puzzling impact to his depiction. Concerning myself, it is difficult to center when I drink alcohol so contrasting it with Van Gogh mental condition must had likewise been troublesome for him to center which is the reason he paint expressionism conceptual. The Starry Night, 1889, oil on canvas, 28 ¾ x 36 ¼", by Vincent…
The breaking down of the original elements of Dali’s first painting and showing them all in an equivalent state of disintegration, and the surreal beauty of the original image being invaded by these unique geometric shapes are just part of the painting’s incredible appeal. In this way, The Disintegration of The Persistence of Memory works not only as a deconstruction of Dali’s own previous work and his attitudes, but as a beautiful painting itself, a way to compensate for his loss of surrealism by absorbing and illustrating the uniqueness of the universe in the form of very pleasing and fascinating shapes and symbols like the melting clocks.…
The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is consistent of his typical artwork. He uses the lines free and loose making it an expression of his contour lines. The spacing between the stars and the curving contours making it a dot to dot effect. Van Gogh’s, The Starry Night” portrays his personal emotion. He writes to his brother about his painting almost as if he would be confused himself about the painting. The village is dark but at the same time it is peaceful compared to the dramatic sky life. In Sol Le Witts, Wall Drawing it uses an ordered form and symmetrical form called classical lines. The line Sol Le Witts uses is considered a connection between two separate points. Although his work is displayed throughout various art museums, the actual work is not his own. Le Witts has the ideas and then gives the workers instructions on what he wants done. This reflects his personality in the way that his art work is controlled. The line form he uses is symmetrical. Sol Le Witt is unlike Van Gogh’s when it comes to his personality. In which Le Witt’s personality is logical and Van Gogh’s is emotional and chaotic. Both artists’ have clearly shown their personality in their art work through their different line forms and expressions.…
