This song was giving a tense feeling that something bad might happen in this movie. At the beginning of the movie, I had a feeling that the director wanted show old pictures in order to depict how life looked like for the poor and broke from a rustic period. It made me feel that he wanted us to understand why they resorted to crime

After reading it, Mr. Notkins’ Artist Statement really opens your eyes as to what the piece is trying to convey and you change the way you thought the piece was assembled. The piece is much more obvious than other famous paintings and Notkins doesn’t seem to care about that. After reading the artist's statement my views and thoughts
The first common theme of the “The Pillowman” and “Room ” is the complexity of human nature. Human nature is so complicated. It is hard to determine a person is completely good or bad because we believe both of the bright side and dark side are inside us. In the story of “Pillowman” , the police Ariel says in the affirmative "I 'm a good police" and "I stand on the right side" (McDonagh, 2003, p.78), and he indeed tries his best to save the third child when he notices the child maybe still alive but not yet buried under the ground. While we think his behavior is praiseworthy as Ariel only have his bright side, however at a time, he and Tupolski torture Katurian and force him to confess or talk about the murder case of the child, which callously
Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives. As Van Gough’s distinct style of representing forms expresses his emotions of society, “Artists could paint a portion of the world and in consequence open the eyes of others to it”, said by Alain De Botton suggests that artists eyes are open to the world and it is those that we see it through. Like wise in Ljalkaindirma, Albert Namatjira uses his cultured beliefs of traditional Aboriginal customs demonstrated by his use of vector lines and light to give the painting depth and meaning connecting it to the traditional Aboriginal relationship between their land and culture. Namatjira builds upon this through his use of vector lines, which immediately draw the respondents towards the centre of the mountains allowing the respondents to allow themselves to identify the other aspects of the painting that extend the landscape
Bogard begins his article by recounting a personal story or memory that's important and valuable to him, which helps establish credibility. It helps the audience try to remember a time where they had a similar experience or encounter, to establish a bond between Bogard and his direct audience. It is always important to begin a persuasive piece of writing by establishing credibility or similarities between one's audience and oneself, the reason being that this way your readers will relate right off the bat, and want to read more. Soon, Bogard alludes to a widely famous Van Gogh painting considered one of the most beautiful paintings in the world, to show to the reader that artificial light ruins the fact that natural darkness is beautiful
When writing her personal essay “In Bed”, author Joan Didion intended it for an audience very familiar with migraines, however, it has the potential to be written for an audience of people just beginning to experience migraines. Didion’s use of personal anecdotes, factual information, and inspiring acceptance are all points that can be altered for this new audience. Didion begins her essay with personal accounts of her experiences with migraines, setting the stage for an introduction that relates to newcomers. She describes the suffering in which she endures during her migrains, composed of imagery that brings the reader into her situation. Where she begins with stating that she “spend[s] the day in bed with a migraine”, she could instead present this as a question to the reader.
Currently, there is a rise in the number of students taking out loans to pay for college. This growth in student debt can be attributed to many sociological factors. When applying ideas from the sociological imagination, we can examine how social forces play a profound role in shaping individual lives. Factors such as why students acquire debt, types of people who need loans, and how students are able to receive financial aid influence the rate of student loan debt.
I live inside my head. It's as if Vincent van Gogh's 'Field of Poppies' symbolizes a good day for me. From its hues of remembrance to the idea of their being good on the other side of life and like nothing its beauty becomes everlasting strokes of sheer darkness. Up close, the once Van Gogh painting has turned into a Baroque portrait mastered by Caravaggio. Some would think the portrait is being depicted through rambles of obscurity and fear, however, it's shadows and realistic observations will teach anyone, including myself, how to see the burst of colors clouded by listlessness.
This week’s essay is to discuss Henri Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre and Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon in regards to how they were inspired by Paul Cezanne’s The Large Bathers. In addition, the discussion will also include how they depart from Cezanne’s style. Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) depicts several nude bodies in vibrantly colored space.
In the 18th century, another one of the greatest artist of all time, Vincent Van Gogh illustrated a very personal painting. The Starry Night is now one of the most widely known paintings in the world, but the story and meaning is not. Both artist used dark and grim themes when it came to their creations, and that is what draws the public to them. In today 's society we are able to relate to the deeper and more mentally touching symbols of these pieces of art. Andrew Wyeth’s painting, Christina’s World shows a young woman in a empty field looking up at a grim farmhouse on a rustic summer day.
Along the line of the aforementioned article, the chosen blues and white of the night sky represent the vulnerability of Van Gogh’s feelings and mental state depicting the almost constant depression that plagued
In this artwork, Van Gogh uses strong vertical lines to give the sense of unease. These lines are present in the floor boards, the chair and in the wall. The lines give an unnerving feel to the room as vertical lines suggest that the room was not a place of tranquility, or calmness, but a rather gives a sense of despair. Furthermore, In the room there is also horizontal lines to suggest peace, and calmness.
We as the audience obviously have our own. The Starry night gives us Gogh’s interpretation of beauty. He worked well with painting landscapes, but is it truly beautiful? That’s a personal preference, but I believe Van Gogh believes so.
