    Portraiture Case Study

    A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, by the artist using the same materials/media as in portraits (drawings, paintings, sculpture and photography). Self-portraiture is a powerful genre as artists are able to directly translate the emotions they are feeling, in a more intense and potent way than merely telling us verbally. The power of a particular self-portrait does not necessarily rely upon the portraits “aesthetic beauty”, rather than its ability to give us insight on the artists psychological, physical and emotional views of themselves.…

    Song of a Hummingbird

    The novel, Song of the Hummingbird by Graciela Limon, is a book about Huitzitzilin’s encounters during the Spanish conquest and the coming of Cortes. There are many themes in this novel, such as war, religion, culture, sins and the ending of an Era for the Mexicas. But it does not start off of her telling her stories, but of a young monk named Father Benito Lara, who is called to hear her last confession, for she was very old and knew she was near the end of her long journey. Father Benito went to listen to Huitzitzilin everyday for she had much to say about her life and about her culture before and during the Spanish conquest. She told him some sins throughout their conversations, and when she did not talk about their sins, he would write down all that she was saying so he can record her side of what happened during the conquest, for he only heard teachings of how the Spaniards had seen the conquest.…

    Frida Kahlo Analysis

    When they first met, Kalho showed Rivera some of her paintings such as ‘Self-Portrait In a Velvet Dress’ (1926), Rivera gave Kahlo advice on how she could improve her works and develop originality. This advice from Rivera influenced Kalho’s artistic style by causing her to move away from the gloomy Renaissance-like portraits and develop her own unique and unconventional style of painting. Frida and Diego got married on August 21st, 1929. They had a tumultuous relationship ruled by infidelity. For this reason, Rivera also influenced Kahlo in a negative way and became a subject for many of her works. Her piece ‘Memory’ (1937) was created to express the heartbreak that she suffered after learning of her husbands affair with her younger…

    Research Paper On Frida Kahlo

    Frida Kahlo was described as “the first woman in the history of art to address with absolute and uncompromising honesty, general and specific themes which exclusively affect women” by life-long lover, Diego Rivera. As a Mexican female artist in the 20th century, Frida’s themes expressed in her artworks were considered highly explicit at the time. She was fine artist who used autobiographical through her extensive output of self-portraits. They are evidence of her need for self-expression and her exploration of identity. She overcame many difficult events including polio, long recovery from a serious car accident, two failed marriages, and several miscarriages some having a direct influence on her art. She used these experiences, combined with Mexican and Native American cultural and stylistic influences, to create highly personal paintings. Kahlo used personal symbolism mixed with Surrealism to express her suffering and anguish through her work. A viewer might classify her paintings as Surrealism, but she considered her art to be realistic.…

    Disadvantages Of The Electoral College

    A question that many Americans pondered upon when they were trying to ratify the Constitution was, “How would the United States choose a president?” At the Constitutional Convention, many delegates believed that Americans did not have enough wisdom and knowledge to elect a president and others believed that the state legislators were unable to put aside their personal needs to account for the national interest (Monroe 2016). Thus they came up with a system called the electoral college. The electoral college is an institution that elects the president and the vice president of the U.S. every four years. This system is a highly complicated institution where each state selects electors. Electors are delegates that have a well known judgement of…
