The Meaning of Art and The Audience Throughout the film “Tim’s Vermeer”, the audience begins to question what the meaning of art is, often being altered by each viewer's perspective. There are many things that contribute to the meaning of art, many having to do solely on the audience. Art and the meaning are determined by our society and each person's input, what the audience considers art. For example the way that Vermeer's work was in watercolor, work like paintings, sculptures and drawings are

Art and Film: An Unruly Dialogue by Mark Wilson talks about how most cultural scholarship tends to focus on film content through an analysis of how meaning is conveyed by the above-the-line personnel and how ideology and emotion are perceived by the audience. This assumes a myopic and problematic binary of film production: that only the above the-line filmmakers are worthy of analysis, and that an audience is definable. 'Art and Film' denotes a formal question of the moving image, with specific reference

the Germans but soon had to begin his escape from their grasps to protect the ones he loves. It sounded just like any other survivor story that you would hear but there’s something a little different about this one, the book is written by Vladeks son Art Spiegelman who decided to portray all the Jews in his book as mice and the Germans as cats which really pulled a lot of readers in and made the story a lot easier for readers to follow. Another good quality that the book had was that they didn’t focus

contribution to the art of film, brings about a flamboyant and revitalizing side to the industry. Through the use of cinematic language, his story telling techniques and belief in the theatrical cinema come to life. Baz Luhrmann has a very distinctive directing approach with particular techniques that define his style. He presents his films as if he were telling a story, which he invites you into. His stories are simple and he tends to give away the ending at the beginning of the film, which intrigues

For the rest of my college career I aim to refine my technical knowledge and creative identity within the Film and Electronic Arts program. So far I have had the privilege of being able to experiment with a variety moving image formats, including narrative filmmaking, screenwriting, and experimental filmmaking in both live action and animated formats. I hope to study a wide range of higher level courses to further develop an understanding of where my artistic curiosity and skills are most focused

A group of his friends wanted him to draw for a party that was happening. George’s self esteem was always boosted because people complimented him on his drawings. George also

For Extra credit I chose to watch the art film Annie that was listed in both Ancient and Renaissance section. This movie takes place in 1936 while the Great Depression was going on. Annie the main character is a young curly red headed orphan that lives in New York city at the Hudson Street Orphanage. Agatha Hannigan is the orphanage director with an obvious drinking problem that starts to punish the girls for being up, singing, and being loud by ordering them to clean up the orphanage. During one

O Brother Where Art Thou? is a film that will take you on a perilous journey with Ulysses Everett McGill and his simpleminded cohorts. This film may be set amidst the early 1930’s Great Depression era, but it still has a Homer’s Odyssey feel to it. Down in the dusty and highly racial south, Everett recruits a couple of dimwitted convicts, Pete Hogwallop and Delmar O’Donnell, to help him retrieve his lost treasure and make it back home before his wife marries another suitor. These three convicts manage

Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will documentary to demonstrate that it is possible to appreciate the beauty of a piece of art while having it challenge our morals. Thus allowing for the coexistence of beauty and evil which lead to the self-reflection of the viewer. Through Mary Devereaux’ application of non-formalism as her choice of evaluation of the beauty and evil, I will demonstrate that the film can be appreciated. Secondly, by discussing Devereaux’ correctness in selecting a non-formalist structure but

Bordwell and Kristin Thompson discusses the art movement in Film Art: An Introduction and secondly, in the Mists of Regret: Culture and Sensibility in Classic French Films by Dudley Andrews. The art movement of French impressionism founded by artists within Paris during the early 1860’s. While the primary form of impressionism was presented through open air paintings, it was such a success it continued to impact on other platforms of art, particularly film after the First World War, filmmakers used

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,” explained Edgar Degas. This is indisputably true about all forms of art. It can be a painting that endows one with a feeling of joy, a sculpture that takes one’s breath away, or a film that makes all shed tears of sadness then of happiness. The art that moves us all begins somewhere in the minds of visionaries, artists and directors. It is a director’s job to craft emotions in a short two-hour window, and often times they are successful and

Art & Copy does a good job using likeable, personable, and trustworthy individuals who work in the advertising business, to grow the advertising industry. By using this method to showcase advertising, Director Doug Pray, brings the nicer side of advertising to film, while ignoring the heavier “dirty” side. This film glorifies the importance of creativity and the glamour of the industry without deviling deeply into the process, and the interviewees play into this romanticism. This film written by

Tim’s Vermeer Tim’s Vermeer is a documentary film. It is about the struggle of a man to recreate a painting of Vermeer by seeing a rebuilding of the studio of Vermeer through a mirror arrangement. Tim Jenison got the encouragement from David Hockney’s theory that painters used visual strategies to accomplish their fascinating quality and established a double-mirror version of the camera lucida. He spent approximately 130 days to create a perfect and flawless imitation of Vermeer’s music lesson. He

Animation has evolved from art by hand to digital art which makes animation faster and easier than doing everything by hand. 1906 was the year the first animated film was created “Humorous Phases Of Funny Faces” by using stop-motion animation which was known to be a sophisticated form of art and when they were making a film that required unrealistic creatures and objects that made movement they had to use some sort of doll or puppet, for example King Kong.

Dalí was born on May 11, 1904, in the town of Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. While growing up, he studied art in different parts of Spain due to either being expelled or suspended from the art school he was in for either protesting or having his very flamboyant and extravagant personality getting in the way. As he

Throughout my four years of Sandwich Secondary School art classes, I have learned, grown, and found my style as an artist. My work displayed here, called Looking Back for the Future, was actually my final project in my grade twelve art class, created for ACWR’s “Working With The Environment” show. We were instructed to create a piece that was reflective of working/labour and/or an environmental issue, so I combined my love for portraiture with my love of history, and created depictions of Victorian

are iconic figures and are recognized for their unique lives and artistic styles. In the film Frida (2002), the art of Frida and Diego is brought to life. The films displays the life of Frida and her relationship with Diego, but more than that it really gives the audience a better understanding of potentially understanding some of the artists’ inspirations. Frida illustrates how Kahlo and Rivera used their art as a tool to convey who they were as intellectuals and as human beings. Kahlo’s work resonates
