The artwork that had movement was “The Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio” by David Hockney. This artwork had movement because the artwork showed the start and the end of the road or pathway.

The approach of autumn was well on its way. “Autumn’s hand was lying heavy on the hillsides. Bracken was yellowing, heather passing from bloom, and the clumps of wild-wood taking the soft russet and purple of decline. Faint odors of wood smoke seemed to fit over the moor, and the sharp lines of the hill fastnesses were drawn as with a graving-tool against the sky.” As Ellie drove down the road she was much more aware of all her surroundings.

Picasso's mural Guernica is quite the impressive work of art, not only for it's symbolism but also it's sheer size. This magnificent oil on canvas stands at a whopping 11 feet tall and 24.6 ft wide, and is an anti-war statement against the Nazi's bombing in a town called Guernica during the Spanish Civil War (PabloPicasso.org, 2009). The piece, I believe, best exemplifies cubism although this is widely debated and also shared aspects of other art types. The specific references that ties the piece of art in with the Cubist movement are the fragmented objects and figures, the limited colors. and the lack of the illusion of depth (O'Mahony, 2006).

Once, I was there my thoughts changed, as seeing some of these amazing works in person was far from the same experience as just seeing pictures of them, I am not an art person, but it was definitely cool to see. The painting I chose to write on is "Cold Shoulder" which was painted my Roy Lichtenstein in 1963.

All is not what it seems to be in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s narrative, “Young Goodman Brown.” Hawthorne is known for writing dark romanticisms, having been born in Salem Massachusetts it makes a great background for the story considering the setting of the story takes place during the infamous witch trials. The point of view, style, and theme tie together to make the story one to make the reader think not everyone is who they say they are. Hawthorne expresses the beliefs of Goodman through his style and tone and of story while painting great pictures to express how it would feel if you were to see the people you know and love actually turn out to be evil. When a story is written in third person, it gives the reader more viewpoints than if you had just first person.
