The first art element that I feel is one of the most important to the artist pertaining to this painting is the use of line. There is an undefined, invisible vertical line that goes from left to right where the mountains meet the
The subject of the painting is a depiction of a mountain landscape. Near the bottom of the picture plane in the foreground there’s a canal through the mountain side. If you look closely you can see someone in the water climbing up the rock. The overall theme of the piece seems to be very peaceful and exciting. Hassam uses a few visual elements of form to support his painting.

Edward Koiki Mabo (Eddie) is a well-known Australian Indigenous person, who throughout his lifetime was committed to obtaining justice for Indigenous Australians. His greatest achievement was his stand against racial discrimination and his fight for Australian laws to recognise the traditional land rights of his family and the Meriam People of Murray Island. As a result, the doctrine of terra nullius, that claimed Australia was a land without owners, was overturned, changing Australian law forever, and the Native Title Act was introduced, which legally recognised the traditional land rights of Indigenous Australians. Edward Mabo was born Edward Koiki Sambo, at Mer (Murray Island), in the Torres Straits on c. 29 June, 1936, and at that time
The painting is of a jack pine tree that is distinctly known to live in eastern North America. Have you ever seen how unique and beautiful it is? I’ve only seen the 30-72 foot tree in photos and paintings. In the background of the painting are mountains. Everyday you can see the mountains so that part of the picture really reminds me of Canada.
Japan’s rich history of power, wealth, and influence had many remarkable eras. One of the more notable periods in Japanese history was that of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868). The Tokugawa Period was talked about in Musui’s Story, an autobiographical book, written by Kokichi Katsu. (Katsu ix) Katsu wrote Musui’s Story for three main reasons: to share how he had transformed from a low-ranking samurai to a well-known hero, to show his sense of self, and to serve as a cautionary tale for his descendants.
At first glance, the end of Japanese isolation in 1853 seems straightforward. The Americans, under the leadership of Commodore Matthew Perry sailed to Japan with their fleet of black ships. They were the ones to convince Japan to open its ports to foreign trade. However, a closer inspection of events complicates that narrative. Commodore Perry’s arrival is a historical event that has been written about in a variety of ways.
Born to Bengali parents in July 1967,in London and with her family’s move to Rhode Island, Jhumpa Lahiri began life in the U.S.A. She grew up in the background of traditional Bengali culture. From childhood, she often accompanied her back to India-particularly to Calcutta (now known as Kolkata).. She observes that her parents retain a sense of emotional exile and she herself grew up with conflicting expectations. In her work, Lahiri, is a second-generation immigrant, reflects on the Indian diaspora and creates a narrative that reveals the inconsistency of the concept of identity and cultural difference in the space of diapora.

Sakoto Fujikasa featured work of artistry displayed within the Harn Museum is know as “Stream.” This piece in particular demonstrates a medium that has been contorted to displays various ripples and waves to resembled that of flowing water.

The lives of several Japanese Canadians were influenced negatively by the policies of the Canadian government. For example, numerous Japanese Canadians were forced to leave their homes and possessions due to the fear of white Canadians towards the Japanese during the Second World War. British Columbia was the most opposing province in Canada against the Japanese community because local economic competitors wanted to remove Japanese locals from the economic competition. In this paper, I will argue that we ought to consider the hardships that the Japanese community encountered during the Second World War in Canada as Muriel Kitagawa’s “This Is My Own” provides insight to significant challenges and struggles of Japanese Canadians in terms of their social class and racial issues.
The “Great Wave” was created by Japanese painters, Hokusai Katsushika of 19th century. It was the first outline for a progression of initially 36 popular perspectives of Mount Fuji, Japan's consecrated mountain. This painting demonstrates a somewhat sensational scene. An enormous wave is swapping more than three modest, long and thin boats confined with fishermen.
The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai was published in his book Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji during the Tokugawa period (c. 1823-39). This full-color woodblock print was composed of a limited color palette of browns, greys, and vivid blues and depicts a giant wave that appears as though it is just about to crash down on one of two long boats, which do not appear to have a chance of navigating this tumultuous sea. The sky appears dark and stormy and in the distance a snow peaked mountain peaks out of the trough of the colossal wave. The figures in the boats appear to be rowing fiercely against the giant swells of water. The diagonal lines and curves that the scene is composed of give this piece a sense of energy and the perspective
Tom Godwin’s short story “The Cold Equations” illustrates how one should think of and become accepting of their consequences whether it's deserved or not. The story is about an Emergency Dispatch Ship, also known as an EDS, with the pilot on a mission to give a group of six men who have a fatal fever. The pilot, Barton, during his mission finds a stowaway named Marilyn found in a small closet on the ship. Marilyn was a young girl trying to go to Mimir, for she had a destination waiting and hoped to see her brother who she hasn't seen in 10 years, but little did she know that there was a previously set protocol that determines the life of a stowaway. Barton had sympathy for the girl and did his best to help her by contacting headquarters and asked if there was any way he could spare Marilyn’s life
