The art piece I chose is Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This medium of this painting is an oil on canvas. This type of medium is also painted on linen‚ thus allowing the oil paint to be better absorbed with just thin layers of color called glazes. In addition‚ oil paint dries very slowly making the mixture flexible for different or same colors to be mixed easier‚ even after several days. Another aspect of the oil medium is that it creates a luminosity and smooth effect

Seeing the monkeys in the painting Exotic Landscapes and what are they trying to achieve acting like slaves‚ it enforces the belief of dehumanization and how the public is viewed from the government in 1984. While Winston is eating and talking to one of his friends named Syme‚ he begins to describe his lunch stating‚ “Onto each dumped swiftly the regulation lunch—metal pannikin of pinkish-gray stew‚ a hunk of bread‚ a cube of cheese‚ a mug of milkless Victory Coffee‚ and one saccharine tablet.”

The speaker in the poem‚ “Those Winter Sundays”‚ by Robert Hayden‚ reveals both his loving and regretful feelings about his father by using symbolization‚ diction‚ and a regretful‚ “if only” tone‚ which are all reflected by the “angry home”. Hayden uses symbolization to convey the child’s feelings for the father.

Sylvia Plath’s Psychic Landscapes In the following essay‚ I will examine the development of Plath’s poetry through analysis of major themes and imagery found in her description of landscapes‚ seascapes‚ and the natural world. Following the lead of Ted Hughes‚ critics today tend to read Sylvia Plath’s poetry as a unity. Individual poems are best read in the context of the whole oeuvre: motifs‚ themes and images link poems together and these linkages illuminate their meaning and heighten their power

Evaluation of my piece which is a detailed narrative in the style of Charles Dickens; Bleak House‚ although I am going to pretend I am not the author. The author starts by immediately creating a punch and making a point due to the opening‚ “Edinburgh” this is a bold opening which informs the reader clearly of the setting and the overall clear mood to the piece. I think the author starts with this short sentence because short sentences are gripping and they captivate the reader’s attention quickly
