The Architect's Dream And Martin Compare And Contrast

1422 Words6 Pages

When looking at two pieces of art it’s easy to just assume there are no similarities. However if you truly take in the whole art pieces you may find more similarities than you might think. For example, while looking at The Architect’s Dream, an oil painting created in 1840 by Thomas Cole and Starruca Viaduct, also an oil painting made by Jasper Franci Cropsey in 1865 you may not see any similarities. These paintings together almost represent the split world we live in; the division between man-made and nature. Both areas are beautiful in their own ways which is what Cole and Franci were able to depict. Neither side is better or worse, just different, so how could these two paintings be similar?
As previously mentioned, these pieces undoubtably …show more content…

The main difference is the overall theme of the painting. The Architect’s Dream is a painting centered around the ability of man. This is done through making the main focal point this huge complex building, that as the title would suggest is an Architect’s Dream. By using the repetition of the archways in not only the focal point building but also in the church, Cole is able to highlight the beauty of what humans enjoy making. As well as the ability of humans to create something repeatedly with almost no differences. In contrast, Starruca Valley’s painting is centered around a sizeable mountain. Not only this mountain but almost all the scenery is focused on nature. Unlike The Architect’s Dream, Cropsey uses natural, unrepeating strokes to create this painting. No two trees are the same, similar to how you would find them in nature. The color choices of each painter are completely different. Cole uses lighter colors to capture his vison whereas Cropsey uses deeper, richer tones for his. The lighter colors give a certain softness to Cole’s work that without these colors would not have existed because of the type of lines he used to create the columns and buildings. To the opposite effect, the richer tones in Cropsey’s work helped distinguish the detail as his lines were more natural it is easy for the details to be muddled and lost with colors too similar or

These three things are combined in Preston’s artwork to create an overall message to convey to her audience. The main and significant message that this artwork represents is the possibilities of the fusion between various Aboriginal art forms and the possibilities of an indigenous revolution to come. This artwork expresses the importance of aboriginal art, culture and their way of life as this was a time in which Preston’s beliefs of the importance of Aboriginal art deepened. It was also at this time of significance to her where she developed a series of landscape paintings influenced by this idea. This artwork is also representative of her time living in Berowra where she was enthused by the seasonal display of native plants, in which she wanted to capture the essence of the Australian bush and its

“A person professionally engaged in the design of certain large constructions including buildings and the like are known as architects,” by definition. Architects play a role, not only in everyday life, but also in history. Throughout the book Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, famous architects from around the world make an appearance and prove their strengths and weaknesses. Although when thought of, many believe architects are engineers that build and accomplish impossible statues, buildings, and architecture, but this is far from the truth.

The bright colors on the downstage flats along with the purposely inexact lines allude that we are not only there to see a children’s show but are entering a child’s world. The flats upstage are painted to look like notebook paper with doodles on it, to anyone who knows the story of Junie B. Jones, will immediately feel connected to the story with the allusion to her Top Secret Personal Beeswax Journal. However, the scenic painting on the upstage flat looked realistic and intentional and the downstage ones looked hurried and it was detrimental to the cohesion of the design.

A hero is anyone that has the obligation to do what most people wouldn’t; heroes would set aside their private interests and concerns for the good of others. In Reagan’s speech about the then recent tragedy of the shuttle Challenger, he commends them as they “...were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes … The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them.”
