“Analyze an example of a self portrait painting by one artist through the Subjective and Structural Frame.”…
A portrait is typically defined as a representation of a specific individual, such as the artist might meet in life. “It could be drawn, painted, sculpted or photographed. A portrait is usually a statement, made firstly by the sitter, who wishes to be seen in a particular way, and secondly, by the artist, who wishes to present or represent that person.” A portrait does not merely record someone’s features, but says something about who he or she is, offering a vivid sense of a real persons presence.…

On the way to the lake, White wonders how the lake would be different; " how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot . . .". He was certain there would be changes as he slowly descended into detailed reminiscences of the smells of his old bedroom and the "stillness of the cathedral". When White and his son settled into the campsite and as he heard his son sneak out to go to the shore, something White used to do, he adopted a "dual existence" and had, "by simple transposition", become his father and his son was himself as a young boy. The imagery used by White contributes to the comparison in the essay because it leads the reader through the entire passage with words so rich and alive the reader could feel exactly what White was feeling and in turn relate those feelings to their own experiences and fond memories. The speaker also uses the repetitive statement that " there had been no years", that is, he felt he…
The narrators detailed diction in describing these emotions and senses that are being brought back and relived, arouse similar feelings in the reader. It makes us empathize for the now, grown man. He remembers such things as the smell of his bedroom, “picking up a bait box, or a table fork” (25), as well as many other intricate details. Everything seems to bring him back to the cherished memories he had stored for so many years of him camping on the lake with his own father. The imagery used in the essay…
As time passes and as the world shifts, people pass away and they never come back. People who are left on the world, now without the others’ presence, must live with knowing they will never get to see them again and that now all they have left is the memories of when their loved ones were still around. Judd Mulvaney has the realisation and through it, the reader is able to see how he is caring and innocent. His naivety is something not to be ashamed of, nor is it something that he should keep. He must learn about death in order to move on and live life to the fullest of his own potential. From here, he can treasure each step, each moment, and each breath, knowing that he only gets this one shot to live. And he…
To start, it is necessary to define art and work of art. The art could be defined as products of human creativity, works of art collectively or creation of beautiful or significant things (esthetes). While work of art or artwork are photographs or other visual representation in printed publications or painted boards. In this discussion board, as an investigator journalist, it will be important to focus on understanding of two types of painting contextualizing representational and abstract. The painting representational describes or represents specific portrait, recognized physical object and sometimes the representational painting reflect the true idea of life as the photography does (Harley Hahn, 2013).…
For example, Horton explained that even though he and Freire had met before in other venues, other people usually asked them questions whereas this book provided the opportunity for each man to pose questions to the other directly and for the first time (Horton & Freire, 1990, p. 4). Another thing that resonated with me was how Freire described as yet one more purpose for Horton and him finally coming together: “the younger generations need to grab information while we’re around” (Horton & Freire, 1990, p. 6). This immediately gave me the sense that these men understood something of their own mortality, and they were acutely aware of the importance to pass on their knowledge so that future generations may both understand and hopefully build upon what these men had…
An article, “Metaphor and Literature,’ defines metaphor as a tool that produces “meaningful communication” (MacCormac 59). Similarly, by adding visual metaphors in her poetry, Smith tries to submerge the readers into a deeper level of experience about abstract issues i.e. death and grief. She writes, “You stepped out of the body/Unzipped like a coat” (92-93). Here, Smith gives an insight to the belief that the soul leaves the body after death, which she imagines occurred with her father’s soul. She is trying to give the notion that death involves the separation of the soul. Likewise, in the later part of the poem, Smith uses different species of extinct tigers, “Javan,” “Bali,” and “Caspian,” to symbolize her father (80-82). The emptiness felt by her causes her to imagine her father as a rare species, who might also be alone in heaven. She imagines that her father might have also felt the deep pain in losing one dear to him. Smith describes this loneliness as “a solitary country” (84). However, later, she finds comfort in the fact that her father is no longer in fear. “Night kneels at your feet like a gypsy glistening with jewels” (90). “Night,” is considered to be a symbol of darkness, a time when people usually hide. Smith, adding these images throughout her poetry, tries to say that fear is eliminated in heaven .She emphasizes that her father experiences real power in his…

He narrates the time that his father took him to a lake when he was child and then he takes his son to the same place. He compares the feeling of his father with his, when he takes his son to the lake. In the same time, He sees everything in the perspective of his father and uses the dual existence technique. According to this idea, White comes to the hint of understanding his father at that time he was a child and now he understands both his father and his son. The setting of the lake and White’s childhood, connections with the lake, demonstrate that White is denying his mortality. White’s refusal to accept that he is now the father, demonstrates the theme of man versus conflict. Since the writer is confronting an internal inflict. Part of White’s conflict is that he wants a more detailed back to the past to relive his puberty. The feeling of mortality and experiencing the feeling of his father when he was a child, are the things that were given to White in long term…
As stated by the well-renowned art critic, John Berger, “Every image embodies a way of seeing.. Every time we look at a photograph, we are aware, however slightly, of the photographer selecting that sight from an infinity of other possible sights”. Just…
What he says matter is that we kow that death is the most important fact about us. That we know that we are going to die and to live accordingly to that. Live a life with structure around our death. So that we have no regrets in the end. Its like the example he uses in his class with his students.…
He went on to say, that even though he does not think himself a very spiritual man, that this was a life-changing experience. He felt a presence throughout the festival and loved how they view death—as something to be celebrated and…
Thomas’s uses the perspective of a son watching his father go towards death to express anguish of the experience. In The son urges his father repeatedly through the poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night” (Thomas 1) and “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” (Thomas 3). These two lines are repeated and alternate thought Thomas’s poem and continue to urge the father to fight against his death. This external perspective of watching someone creeping towards death and the differing experiences of men who a dying are ways that the son pleads for his father to fight for more life. The son goes through a list of wise, good, wild, and grave men who each experience death differently. The…
