Teenage Stereotypes Affecting The Perception Of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

499 Words2 Pages

My research topic is how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has affected the perception of the Italian Renaissance to their viewers. I chose this image from the internet of a red-eared turtle and juxtaposed it with the phrase “Renaissance Man”. The term, meaning an individual with a wide variety of knowledge or talent, was originally coined in the Renaissance and is strongly associated with the Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci, the namesake for one of the Ninja Turtles. I chose the red-eared turtle as the image subject not only because it was stated to be the type of turtle the ninjas were modeled after, but also because of the bright red-orange markings on the side of its face that contrast with its overall green-hued body.

The rock, though part of the picture is not the main focus and acts as a foundation for the subjects. In the Ninja Turtles, the Italian Renaissance is not its focus, instead, the lending of its artist's names in the popular comic and show acts as a starting point to its viewers about the Renaissance. The position of the words also goes away from the natural direction your eyes go across the picture plane. That paired with a black coloring of the text, though easily read, is obscure it when compared to the brightly colored turtle. Making the text the last thing you notice. When following the lines in the picture, the outer top shell and the natural patterning of the turtle, draw your eyes away from the left of the picture over to the right before turning upwards towards the top corner. Moving with this natural flow of the viewer's eyes, the words should then be placed above the turtle in the top right corner, bringing the viewer’s natural attention to the words instead of making them look for them. But, by not placing the text there the image argues a deviation. The focus is not the Renaissance, neither in the Ninja Turtles nor in this image, merely foreground used to provide a base and decoration for the

One way paintings demonstrate this is the difference between the Mona Lisa and Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angels. The older painting, Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angles, is unrealistic and has rather depressing dark colors. While the Renaissance painting, the Mona Lisa, is not only much more realistic, but also a lot more cheerful, brighter feel, and became a true masterpiece (Doc A). In the paintings, the fact the Renaissance painting is brighter, more realistic and a famous masterpiece, shows that the Renaissance changed the art style into a unique, amazing representation that changed the entire future of art. The paintings from the Renaissance showed that people saw each other differently than before( Doc A).

The style they created completely contrasted with that of its predecessor, International Gothic. But how did this “Rebirth” come about? There are many answers to this question, but much of it lies in patriotism and civic values, especially in sculpture.
