Art Critique Of Guitar Hero Painting

Examples Of Art Critique
I chose to critique a painting that I saw when I went to the Fine Arts Center here in Tullahoma. The
Fine Arts Center host many different exhibits in a year, but the recent one is The Watercolor
Society's one hundred forty ninth Traveling Exhibit. The Tullahoma Fine Arts center used to be the
house of The Baillet Sisters. Supposedly the women still walk around, and open doors. On the
upstairs wall there are two paintings of each of the sisters.
The painting is called "Guitar Hero" and it was created by W. Michael Bush, an artist that was born
in Indiana, but resides in Bell Buckle. "Guitar Hero" is a painting that centralizes a musician and
surrounds him with a crowd at his feet. It includes a combination of warm and cool colors mostly

It relates to me because I am definitely not creative enough to go where those amazingly creative
people have gone. I do not have the talent to even be creative or musically talented. This piece
symbolizes to me that musicians are adored and paid millions of dollars but it is too much. There are
musicians and artists who never achieve that fame or fortune and they are the same. It also shows
that music and art are one in the same. People are often put in a pedestal in both walks of life and
they are using their creative talents to express their feelings and try and get others to enjoy their
works, or just make it big and make tons of money. I think this work of art is valuable because there
are so many levels to it. It is not just a painting. It really shows the separation between regular
people and celebrities. It can be said though that this piece lacks use of principles of design. There a
lot of abstract elements to this piece and it could have used more line to separate and clear the image
up instead of leaving it jumbled. "Guitar Hero" by W. Michael Bush leaves a lasting impression in
my head that cannot be done by any ordinary

Essay On Affandi
Affandi is one of the maestros of painting in Indonesia. He is one of the legendary painters who
possessed expressionism in his painting. Instead of depicting an objective reality, expressionism
highlights the subjective emotions and responses which the objects and events raise within a person
(Kleiner 727). Affandi creates a work of art by implementing a realistic technique which directly
influenced by his surrounding environment. One of his famous paintings was entitled as Potret Diri
Menghisap Pipa. An oil on canvas painting sized 125cm x 99 cm created in 1997. The piece is

An extensive message was contended into it. Regarding to the identification of object's similarity,
the face, sun, and pipe act as the icons of the piece. Even tough, it is not realist but the old man's
face seems to be similar as the appearance Affandi's face, and so do red circle and the sun. In terms
of metamorphic, the sun is the most influential icon which possibly represents the star that is the
central body of a solar system which acquires its own light and possessed as the main source of
living. The sun is captured in a circle shape which added with the radiating lines. Thus, the
visualization of the sun is radial which stimulates the viewer to focus on one point and suggests that
an explosion is about to come suddenly. The face in this piece is closely associated with Affandi's
face, with a forehead, messy hair, thin, whiskered, and pointed cheek's bone. The appearance is
identical to the figure of Affandi whom is well known with his explosive character, highly
courageous, and expressive. The lines, shapes, and colour are organized neatly in a compact
package. At the pipe, scratched the diagonal line which tends to be flat, represents a calmness or
serenity. Meanwhile, the messy lines represent a temper and dynamic

If you are a businessman, a stock broker, a salesman, or an entrepreneur then you're probably
strongly motivated by money. Many factors motivate an artist to create. It could be emotion,

Getlein, he describes Living with Art as "making art live by letting it engage our attention, our
imagination, and our intelligence. (3)" If I were an artist I would be a painter, and I would paint

Numerous times, it is created with feeling and arouses feelings out of us. These pieces of art are
good examples of the role of giving a tangible form to ideas and feelings. These pieces of art may
give the impression of very little taking place in the image but the artwork has a greater meaning
behind it. In Jacob Lawrence piece, it looks so simple but he was telling the story of thousands of
African–Americans migrating from the South to the North (161). In Raphael piece, he captures the
ideals of the Renaissance period. If I was an artist I want to show the ideas of this time. These works
are famous around the world and one of the reasons is because of how people interpret these works.

Janice Kindred In Town Gallery Analysis
Chattanooga's "In Town Gallery" was founded in 1974, and it is home to the workings of local
artists. Upon visiting this gallery, I was able to have the unique advantage of conversing with one of
the artists themselves, Janice Kindred. I was able to grasp an understanding of the different medias
and techniques used in the paintings and other artworks. In addition, I was able to develop an
appreciation of the artists' works.
The first piece that struck my eye was Vincent, a painting by Janice Kindred herself. Vincent is a
painting done in acrylic. It is a colorful and vivid arrangement of a nature scene featuring trees
standing upon a cliff that foray one's attention. Upon looking at this painting, the sky fascinated me
the most. It was portrayed in bright blues, pinks, and purples. When talking to Kindred, she

Washburn founded the MMIA (Mixed Media Inspired Artists) and has been accredited to teaching

of what seems to be an African savanna with a rolling grassland of shrubs and trees overlooking
water. This painting was one of the most flamboyant ones I saw. It grabbed my attention with its pop
of many colors. What also stood out to me was the layering technique similar to Kindred's.
Lastly, I saw Chuck Frye's Snowy Day in the Cove. Different from the other paintings, this was
done with oil. Like Frye's other works, Snowy Day in the Cove, focuses on realism. Frye enjoys
capturing the natural harmony found within landscapes. In this painting, one sees I a desolate cabin
in a snowy atmosphere. Snow aligns the surrounded forest and the cabin. Snowflakes glisten in the
air. Looking at this painting, I thought it was a photograph. However, I was surprised to learn it was
actually a painting. The realism of this painting fascinated

Hunt Symbolism
While I love the painting itself for the design elements, Hunt was never one to leave a colorful
painting unsymbolic. Whereas some people may individually explain the symbolic meaning of each
pieces of the painting, I rather look at the painting as a whole while also keeping in mind that Hunt
painted this painting over a course of six years. At a closer look, the painting appears to depict the
evolution of Britain over the six years; there are depictions of farmer land and factories; and
sailboats and steamboats. These illustrations represent Britain's Industrial Revolution, which
happened between the 18th and 19th century. Britain, before the revolution, mainly utilized farmers
and human labor to craft goods and materials for export, they ... Show more content on

At the front of the paintings is red wheat bathing in the red glow of the sun as it sets. However, the
wheat appears very rigid, they are stiff instead of flexible plants that some of Hunt's other paintings
depict: the bushes in Our English Coasts are fluid, they appears to grow everywhere and the grasses
in A converted British Family sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids
is very flexible, able to blend and tilt any direction. The wheats in Fairlight Downs, for me, are very
solid, unable to bend and will break if the sheep wanders near it. However, the farther I look into the
painting, the wheat blends together more and merge with the lustfully green grass where the sheep
roam. I think that the stiff wheat near the beginning is to symbolize that Britain is going through
fragile time, where one mistake can break Britain dominance during over the world. But the blend
of grass and wheat is very smooth, as if saying that by moving forward, everything will fall into
place as everyone, the sheep, as people, and the dog, as the Queen, work together to achieve the end
result: creation of factories, expansion of land, and advancement of trade; the sheep provide the
means to create goods and the dog monitors the process. Even the clouds in the background
seemingly represent support from the heaven by the depiction of shining lights. On the edge of the

Summary Of The Painting 'The Enchanted Flute'
The artist of The Enchanted Flute, Josephine Wall, grew up knowing she wanted to be an artist.
From the moment she picked up her first box of crayons, she knew where she belonged in the world.
Eventually, after painting many other paintings, she created a masterpiece called The Enchanted
Flute. The Enchanted Flute depicts dreams, reality, and the creation of everything in one painting,
making us pause to question what is real and what is a dream. Josephine Wall has always loved
bright and expressive colors, using more than necessary more often than not, to the point where it is
one of her trademarks. The Enchanted Flute is a great example of her love of colors. Every color is a
new, vibrant hue of the usual colors. The refreshing yellow of the flowers, the soothing green of the
plants, the warmth of the orange skies and the coolness of the blue waters, they are all shown in The
Enchanting flute. Normally, so many colors would be an overload and cause it to hated. But, she

One of the ones that were most similar was The Spirit of Flight. It also has one person, female, as
the main focus but still has the smaller aspects around her. It also follows the whimsical feel of The
Enchanted Flute, making the impossible feel possible. Astral Voyage, another one of Josephine
Wall's works, follows more of the dreams aspect of The Enchanted Flute. It again has a main female
but, while still feeling whimsical, it adds the dreams aspect. It truly embodies some peoples favorite
personification of dreams, that the sky and space itself is the limit. Lastly, Breath of Gaia still has
the main female, but this time, it's more god–like than whimsical. The painting gives of the feeling
that she created the world, like god is said to have done. The Enchanted Flute also gives off this
feeling, the way the flute spews out cities and planets like musical

Thesis Statement Of Color Theory
I. Introduction
Have you ever looked at a painting with vibrant colors or at a poster with amazing color scheme and
wondered how the artist and designer chose these colors and made them work together? The answer
is they've consulted their intuition and the color theory. The color theory is like a formula that
guides creators to choose colors that work together in harmony and design. According to the color
theory there are different categories based on the color wheel: Primary colors, Secondary colors and
Tertiary colors (Colormatters.com, 2015).
A. Background:
Wikipedia (2015) quoted that color theory principles first found in the writings of Leone Battista
Alberti (C.1435) and the notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (C.1490). In the 18th century the color
theory started with an agreement with the controversy around Isaac Newton's Theory of Color
(Optics, 1704) and the nature of primary colors. At that point, the color theory was established as an
independent artistic tradition with only few ties to the superficial exterior with colorimetry and
vision science (Wikipedia, 2015).
B. Thesis Statement:
The purpose of this term ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The complementary colors are the opposing colors on the color wheel. If these colors were to be put
next to each other one will emphasize the other, but if they were mixed together they will cancel
each other's hues and produce an achromatic light mixture (white, gray or black) (Wikipedia, 2015).
For example, if we took the two opposing colors on the color wheel blue and orange and tested the
complementary element. If we placed an orange (fruit) on a blue plate the orange color will be
intensified. But, if we took the colors orange and blue as paint and mixed them together they'll
produce a gray color. As a result, we can conclude that orange is the complementary color of blue
and vice

Analysis Of The Ambassadors By Hans Holbein II
Criticizing a painting has a process that contains only four steps to it. Describe, analyze, interpret,
and judge are the four steps to evaluating any work of art. The painting that we will use this process
on is called "The Ambassadors" by Hans Holbein II in the year 1533 which is an oil painting on a
panel. We will apply this process to determine if his work of art is a success or a failure. The first
element I look at to describe the painting was the title. Reading the title with the year gave me an
idea of what the painting could be about, which in this case would be ambassadors during the
Reformation of Europe. After beginning to view this piece of art, the first aspect I notice is located
on the foreground of the painting which is a skull tilted to an angle where, if viewed from other
perspectives, people could mistake it for another object. After recognizing the skull, I assumed the
painting was a historical subject of the two figures standing or a narrative over these two–people
standing proudly as if they accomplished a grand achievement through realism. Afterwards I
concluded that the subject view would have been focused on the two men standing. The next object
that caught my attention was those two men standing, especially the one standing in the lighter
colored clothing. Soon after I examined the items in the background while trying to identify them.
Most of the tools and other objects I couldn't determine but it gives insight to how scholarly the two
men could

The elements used were water colors and cross contour lines. The artist that used the techniques for

of her artwork in the early 1900s. She created the art to express emotions and the way she felt about

Color Theory
Abstract
Color is everywhere, everyday. It can be interesting and helpful to research the ways that color can
affect a person's everyday lives, not just for artists and photographers. Different colors can convey
feelings and affect a person's mood and behavior in many ways. The basic research question for this
paper is: In what ways do colors affect one's mood and how can they be used to people's advantage?
These answers can be found by reviewing journals, books, and articles that feature expert views on
the subject and also many studies that have been conducted. It is concluded through this research
that colors play a big role in everybody's life, affecting mood through interior design, clothing, and
marketing.

Purple, the last of the well–known 'rainbow' shades, has mixed properties of its energizing red and
soothing blue. Bright purples take on the fun side of red, while cooler and deeper purples are seen as
the color of royalty. The meanings behind each color stems from their undertones, and also a lot to
do with how the colors are seen in nature.
Colors used in Marketing With so much meaning behind colors, there are ways that people can use
colors to get a message or feeling across. This technique is seen a lot in the marketing world.
Marketers will use color theory and placement to attract customers and make shoppers think or act a
certain way. The colors that are used in stores are planned by the marketing team of the company to
attract a particular demographic and make them want to shop and purchase their products. In the
retail environment, color plays a big role in the atmosphere. The store environment plays a big role
in communicating the image of the store to customers, and even affects the amount of time and
money that people will spend in the store (Custers, de Kort, Usselstein, & de Kruiff, 2010). It
was found that colors with a warm undertone, such as red and yellow tones, are better for attracting
customers into a store. These colors should be and are commonly used for store windows and
displays at the entrance. These colors are viewed as disruptive when used inside of the store,

The Good Life Chris Johanson Analysis
Chris Johanson's artwork uses a multitude of colors and faces to depict individuality amongst the
various figures within the art. Some of the figures contain less detail and realism, such as elongated
ears, unrealistic skin pigmentation, or even transparency. This, alongside the individually colored
thought lines attribute to the idea of individuality amongst others. All this individuality however,
ammasses to a black and ominous presence, dismissed as it ultimately fails to accumulate to
anything other than darkness. This artwork most closely resembles a line from Ralph Emerson's
"Self–Reliance," and his transcendentalist philosophy. Emerson states that "[a] man should learn to
detect ... that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within ... [y]et he dismisses [it]
without notice ... because it is his" The gleam of light, as described by Emerson, resembles the
colors that protrude from the heads of the figures within Johanson's artwork. None of the figures in
the painting seem to notice this light that sprouts from within them, and is dismissed, as Emerson
states it, in the form of ominous darkness. Furthermore, the transcendentalist philosophy that
promotes individuality is well applied within Johanson's artwork within the unique figures that stand

Coffee And The Coffee Connection Essay
With the lack of coffee chain stores in southern Iowa, it is no surprise that the locals of Knoxville,
Iowa, and surrounding areas look towards The Coffee Connection as their source of coffee. Facing
the courthouse, the dark tinted windows allow a glimpse as to what lies inside The Coffee
Connection. According to an employee of this establishment, The Coffee Connection has been
around for thirteen years. About five years ago, management changed hands. Despite the impression
left by the name, The Coffee Connection offers more than just coffee and associated products. It
also offers meals, desserts, locally made products, and assorted events for the public. There are
certain expectations as to walking into an independent coffee shop for the first time. It is no
different for The Coffee Connection. A person expects warmth, the smell of coffee, hipsters,
businessmen, and great coffee. While The Coffee Connection meets many of these expectations,
some are not met. This is not necessarily a letdown, though, as The Coffee Connection has its own
unique charm.
Soft classic rock, light chatter, and warm colors envelop a person as soon as they walk into The
Coffee Connection. Surprisingly, the shop does not smell like coffee. In fact, it smells just the same
as the outside. The lack of coffee smell is made up for in the environment, though. Shades and tints

Analyzing Winslow Homer's Painting The Fog Warning
Winslow Homer created this painting The Fog Warning in 1885 using oil on canvas. The subject of
this piece is the fisherman. It is currently a collection in the Museum of Fine Arts. This painting was
an anonymous gift with credit to the otis norcross fund. Its dimensions are 30¼ by 48½ in. I viewed
this artwork on mfa.org. It is one of the three paintings he produced at Prout's neck in 1885
describing the live of north atlantic men.
This style of art in this work, like many of his other pieces, is realistic. There is a fisherman in the
row boat. He has a couple of big catches in his boat. He is rowing and looking concerned. Perhaps
it's because the water is getting rough or there is bad weather coming. The ocean covers a little more
than half of this picture while the sky occupies the rest. This picture uses many elements and
principles. Movement, for example, is emphasized by the rolling waves and the rocking boat.. The
water has a rough texture to it. The amount of water and sky is roughly proportionate, although there
a a little more amount of the ocean than there is sky. Value can also be seen on the boats and the
waters shading and highlights. There is a well defined border between the water and the sky. ...

Art Reflection
On November 4, 2017, I went to the Fort Worth's modern arts museum to do a research for my arts
class. I haven't gone to an arts museum since I was in 7th grade. I actually thought it was really
boring but now that I went again it was actually really interesting. I went with my boyfriend and all
of the art work actually got our eyes attention and makes us look deeper into the picture it made us
think. My professor sent me to go look at three specific arts which are representational,
representational abstract, and non–representational abstraction. The first art work that got my
attention was representational, it was from Phillip Guston. It is called "Street II" made out of oil on
canvas, it was made in 1977 and the size of it is 171.4 x 184.1 cm. The art shows us some type of
shading and grisaille because it looks like the background was all white at first and then he started to
shade a lot of the drawing. He mainly used dark grey, red and some parts black. He used warm
colors which basically represented sadness. The art was a tired stranded dog eating out of a trash
can, most of the shapes used in this drawing were circles. I couldn't tell at the very top background
of the drawing if it was roots of trees or people's legs with shoes on. This drawing is
representational because this is actually happening in reality, there are a lot of homeless dogs out in
the street either eating out of trash cans or sleeping under bridges. It makes me feel upset because

Impact Color Associations Have on Gender Stereotypes
intro
Surely it is common knowledge nowadays that pink is the colour for girls and blue is the colour for
boys, but the real question is, why? How did the colour pink gain its label as a girls colour? And
why is blue recognised today as a boys colour? Why have these particular colours become so gender
specific?
Do these gender normal behaviours reflect some built in biological difference between the sexes or
did culture somehow dictate the gender preferences? Are they culturally manufactured? Have we as
a modern society constructed this problematic gender identity through the use of advertising and
marketing?
Despite supposedly living in a modern day era where the efforts are being made to promote gender
equality; the stereotyping of gender still remains such a social problem, it is still evident that there is
still a major gender divide when it comes to little girls and boys.
Throughout this report I will examine the impact that colour associations have on gender
stereotyping and how the environments we artificially create add to this establishment of
stereotypical beliefs. I will examine how contemporary culture such as media and advertisement
contributed to this into creating these superficial connotations?
A view from (Bodenhausen & Macrae, 1998; Macrae & Bodenhausen, 2000), the stereotypes
themselves originate in speciﬁc beliefs about the sexes that are culturally speciﬁed.
The form these beliefs commonly take is that of an association between a particular

longing, watery looking eyes, it communicates that she is struggling with something. The light

Do Women Prefer Dark Colors Than Men?
Statistic Final Project: "Do women prefer dark colors than men?"
By: Andrea Motta
Previous Studies of this topic
According to the study done by Guilford and Smith (1959), there was found that men are generally
more attracted toward achromatic colors than women. In addition, they also proposed that women
might be more conscious of the colors and their color preference is more flexible and diverse. Also,
years later, McInnis and Shearer (1964) stated that 56% of men and 76% of women preferred cool
colors, and 51% men and 45% women chose bright colors. In a similar study, Plater (1967) stated
that men usually prefer stronger chromes than women.

Descriptive Data Analysis: A pie chart was used to describe the sample data since there were only
two categories of individuals (Men and Women). The pie chart reveled that the majority of
respondents were Women (52%) compared to Men (48%). On one hand, the 52% of women were
distributed as, 42% preferred light colors, 17% preferred dark colors, and 41% did not have
preference of colors (figure 1). On the other side, the 48% of men were distributed as, 25% of light
colors, 21% of dark colors, and 54% did not have color preference (figure 2). Test Analysis: Chi–

Analysis Of The Book ' The Big Boat '
The Big Boat Going to the LACMA art museum was a very good experience to see many different
types of artwork by different artists. In 1920 Robert Michel created a painting named "Ship", which
it contained many visual elements such as cool and warm colors curvilinear geometric figures. First
of all, Michel shows the viewer a lot of curvilinear lines meaning a consisting of, bounded by, or
characterized by a curved line, or a along a curved line of a set of coordinates determined by or
determining a system of three orthogonal surfaces (definition from the internet). Geometric
meaning, a set of points or vertices lines connecting the points in a closed chain, as well as the
resulting interior points. Such shapes are called polygons and include triangles, squares, and
pentagons (definition from the internet). And irregular shapes meaning polygon that does not have
all sides equal and all angles equal. A polygon is "regular" only when all angles are equal and all
sides are equal, otherwise it is irregular (definition from the internet). He also adds warm, cool and
intensity colors to catch the viewer attention. The person analyzing the painting really has to pay
very close attention to Micheles art work. Michele tends to add a lot of small detail to his art work
mostly about life; such as the sea representing water, animals like elephants, numbers, moving flags
representing air, two humans in the house representing a family, a clock representing time, rims, and

Edvard Munch's Painting Scream Munich Essay
Edvard Munch's Painting Scream Munich
Edvard Munch is looked upon as one of the most significant influences on the development of
expressionism. Edvard Munch was quoted as saying "We want more than a mere photograph of
nature. We do not want to paint pretty pictures to be hung on drawing–room walls. We want to
create, or at least lay the foundations of, an art that gives something to humanity. An art that arrests
and engages. An art created of one's innermost heart." I believe in The Scream Munch did just as he
said.
The expressionism period was a movement to invoke emotions through art work. In The Scream

In 1908, Munch had a nervous breakdown, a culmination of his anxiety and fears going all the way
back to his childhood. During the years pervious to this he had experienced some of the most
extreme emotions humans can. At age 5, his mother died and at 14 , his favorite sister, Sophie dies
as well. Tuberculosis entered his childhood bring him horrid visions of death, pain, paranoia, and
despair.
It was with these emotions Munch eventually, in 1893, brought to the canvas of The Scream. He
tried to create the all encompassing emotion of total complete undeniable despair. When all hope is
gone; when death is eventual; when the world seems to be completely aganist you and there is
nothing you can do about any of it. The Scream displays the despair of life as he had experienced
one day while walking with his friends. As he has written himself "I was walking along the road
with two friends. The sun set. I felt a tinge of melancholy. Suddenly the sky became a bloody red. I
stopped, leaned aganist the railing, dead tired, and I looked at the flaming clouds that hung like
blood and a sword over the blue–black fjord and the city. My friends walked on. I stood there,
trembling with fright. And I felt a loud, unending scream piercing nature."

Stylisticism In The Swimmer Poem
The Liffey Swim is a painting capturing the annual Dublin river race. It cleverly depicts the crowd
gathered flowing out of the painting. This makes the viewer feel like they are a part of the artwork
and action that is taking place in the painting. The crowd leaning forward and the passengers
passing by on the tram trying to catch a glimpse of the race, bring the viewers eyes to the three
swimmers portrayed trying to see for themselves, what everyone is paying attention too. ''Yeats

They both portray people during important life events and memories. The most obvious difference is
the abandonment of realism and trying to portray the scenes truthfully. In the first painting, The
Liffey Swim, Yeats evidently tries to be precise and accurate and to depict the scene truthfully.
"Yeats, in his early works, adopted Sickett's use of short thick strokes of paint and his manner of
correlating colour"2. The colours he used are very neutral, mostly browns, dark blues, muddy reds,
and dull yellows, with a contrasting light blue sky which brightens the painting. His use of warm
and cold colours creates unity and variety. His use of warm earthy colours in the foreground creates
unity. However, the contrast between the warm earthy colours in the foreground and the cool blue
colours in the background create variety. The waves in the water create a sense of motion and are
slightly more curved around the swimmers showing their impact on the movement of the water. The
people depicted leaning forward also create a sense of motion and action taking place. This sense of
movement directs the viewers eyes around the

Color Theory: English Language Learners
PROCEDURE:
Day 1 – Color Theory
1. Students will read pages 56–59 in the ArtTalk book about color and discuss the 5 questions at the
end of the reading with their table groups. The table groups may take turns reading out loud or with
a partner to assist in the reading comprehension. English Language Learners (ELLs) would benefit
from working with a student that is skilled in English and in reading.
2. As a class, the questions are discussed while the teacher calls on groups to discuss their answers.

As a class, we review from the Color Theory PowerPoint how color can stir certain emotions and
affect our mood. We also review from a previous lesson how line can affect our emotions.
4. Sample works from the Warm/Cool color project are displayed and students analyze what seems
to work and could have been handled better.
5. Each student selects one event from their mind map and creates practice drawings of how they
can illustrate the event. The color scheme needs to be planned out this point.
6. Students begin by creating a pencil drawing of their images. They may use the computer or their
phone as a picture references. Otherwise, there are various books in the classroom with images that
students may use as a reference for their drawing.
7. Once the drawing is complete, student are to add color using color pencils. Half of the drawing is
colored using warm colors, while the other half is colored using cool colors. Students may divide
their warm and cool colors horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
8. When the students have completed their artwork, they are to write an artist statement expressing
their event and the planning process involved in creating their artwork.
9. Students read their first draft of the writing assignment with a partner to check for

The Theories Of Race Versus Skin Color And Gender Versus Sex
Is a person a homosexual or do they simply identify as a female in a man's body; is a lady African–
American or does she simply have dark colored skin? These are two of the basic examples of how
science and culture have differing opinions. In this work, I will examine the diametrically opposing

Of course, this is not the politically correct position in this country where much popular opinion has

Homo Sapient evolution is still a highly debated topic which abounds with misinformation leading

complete mapping of the human genome. Even though science has shown all humans share a recent
common ancestor, prejudiced beliefs about peoples race still influence social interaction and have
for most of recorded history. The Greeks and Barbarians are a classic example; the people of Greece
being a little xenophobic and very ethnocentric, labeled other races barbarians simply because they
could not understand their language and thought it sounded like

Marketing Analysis : Solo Hop
For generations, society imprisoned people by declaring certain look or dress attire. Now, with the
brand Solo Hop, any male individual can become a unique person rather than an identical collection
assigned by others whom believe a certain look or dress attire is the way of life. Solo Hop is a brand
that sells clothing for males who challenge society's rules. My advertisement is incorporated in
Maxim's magazines, which targets single men between the ages of twenty and fifty (Maxim 10).
This magazine is being sold on cable television or stores and to music production for their audience
to pay attention to the views of their magazine (Launder 1). As a result of where the magazine is
being sold, Maxim's mission statement for their audience claims that it "creates a richly visual
journey that's part fantasy, part aspiration and part attainable for the millennial man who believes
that everything worth doing is worth overdoing" (Maxim 2). By emphasizing colors and the concept
of overpowering the world's laws of perfections, my advertisement revises masculinity in a more
cultural yet stylish relation, aiming to show Solo Hop is an expanding brand with Maxim that
differentially and materialistically supports their business by separating individuals from becoming
a clone into an original or "one–of–a–kind" person. Though the empowerment of a male is used
here, my advertisement is reforming how viewers see male's empowerment as breaking away from

Logo Quiz: The Theory Of The Munsell Color Theory
"Mixing colors gives birth to an infinite number of new colors, but there exist only four true colors –
like four elements – from which one can make numerous other colors. Red is the color of flame,
blue – the color of air, green – the color of water and the earth has grey and ashy".
Theorists who lived later including Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton , proved that the three
basic colors are in fact red, blue and yellow.
Modern theory of color was worked out by an American artist Albert Henry Munsell at the
beginning of the 20th century. Instead of traditionally following the simplified system of three basic
colors, Munsell invented the Munsell Color Theory with the concept of color space in the center –

Association research theory can help market researches understand how to work out and use
products and brands in accordance with color associations, but it does not allow them to predict the
consumer reactions to new variants of colors used in logos.
Nevertheless, we can get the idea of how it works on the examples of well–known, established and
successful companies, whose logos we are well acquainted with, and from whose color
combinations trigger our associations.

Trichromatic Theory And Afterimages: The Perception Of Color
Perception of Color Color is determined by the lengths of waves of light. Although there is no sure
way to fully tell how we actually perceive color, there are two theories that seek to explain so. One
is the trichromatic and the other opponent–process. Whereas one theory lacks in explaining a key
problem the other succeeds, which is the case of the trichromatic theory and afterimages. Although
the trichromatic theory does not explain the phenomenon of afterimages, of the two theories, the
trichromatic one best explains how we see color. Firstly, the trichromatic theory explains that there
are three types of cones red, green, and blue. Ciccarelli states "Cones are special receptor cells that
respond to the various wavelengths of light" (Sandra Ciccarelli 96). Now of the three cones,
different shades of color correspond to different amounts of light received by them. The cones then
send their ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Opponent–process adds yellow to the three primary colors, and arranges them in pairs with each
member an opponent of each other, or opposite if looked at on a secondary and higher color wheel.
By placing the opponents in pairs one member becomes inhibited and stops working. Now
opponent–process works by having ganglion cells in the retina stimulated by light from one end of
the spectrum and inhibited by the other. So, if red and green ganglion cells are exposed to red light,
then the color seen is red, but when exposed to long it becomes fatigued. Then, when exposed to
white light the color shown is the inhibited color green and the result is an afterimage (98). By this
theory opponent–process explains the mystery of afterimages and other visual perception.
Detractors in defense of the opponent process theory could say this is ultimately the correct
supposition as to how we perceive color. Not by the combination of colored cones, but through
inhibiting, opponent ganglion cells responding to a colored light

Dip the brush directly and down 2 or 3 times till the bristles are filled about a 3rd of their length.
Then, making sure your brush does not leak, put it versus the side of the container. Do not run the
brush versus the rim of the container as this will certainly eliminate excessive paint and might
likewise trigger the bristles to stick.
After cutting–in the corners, work in areas about 3 feet square. Hold the brush so that your thumb
rests on one side of the ferrule (the metal strip that links the bristles to the manage) and your 4
fingers are spread out equally on the other side. Unlike holding the brush by the deal with, this
permits you to manage the angle of the brush without needing to alter the position of your hand.
Use the paint efficiently over the very first area, holding the brush at a 45–degree angle. Let up on

City Of God Research Paper
Cosmetics of Poverty: Use of Color and Light in City of God Colors are the visual ingredients that
make up the things we see and to an extent, feel in life. They are simple representations of emotions,
making up the visual aspect of life. If color represents emotion, light is the meter by which we feel
certain emotions. "Color and light go closely together. Colors are the components of light" (Magrin–

no exception to this, it utilizes color and light to the fullest extent to express the evolution of
deterioration throughout three decades in a Brazilian slum. Politics and society who is not present to
witness poverty firsthand can often treat it as a black and white situation, often talking about it in
different lights. Brazilian culture is no strange to this alienation of poverty. However, City of God is
almost humble in the way it pairs color and lighting to the situation of the slum. There are times

The Slave Ship Turner Summary
The Slave Ship
The artwork that I chose was The Slave Ship by J.M.W. Turner. This was a piece made with oil on
canvas, made in 1840. The subject includes a slave ship on the ocean with a storm coming. Some
objects in this painting are a ship, raging ocean, birds, and bodies in the ocean. The Slave Ship was
created during the romantic era. One quality that shows the piece is from the romantic era is that he
displays humans as helpless to nature. Turner uses dark reds, grays, blues, and yellows to convey
despair and hardship. He did a great job of showing that nature is superior to humans by his
proportion of the slave ship. The ship is small and engulfed in waves showing that even though
humans may be selfish, nature will always have a power ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

This book described an incident in which the captain on a ship with slaves didn't want to loose
money from the slaves that were dead and dying. To prevent the money loss, he had the sick and
dead slaves thrown into the ocean. () This book gave Turner all the motivation to create the The
Slave Ship.
The meaning that I got out of the piece was that humans try to control things, when in the end we
are helpless. I got this from the piece by the slave ship throwing slaves overboard, which shows
what humans were trying to control. The storm symbolizes that things like nature we can't control
even if we wanted to. I personally relate to this piece by sometimes I try to control things that I
can't, and I should just let it go. Some symbolism shown throughout this piece is through the storm
coming on the ship. This symbolizes the decrease of slavery that is coming their way. I think The
Slave Ship has intrinsic value because the piece is beautiful, and it has a profound meaning. Created
in the romantic era shows that it has a deeper meaning, and this piece could be used to persuade
people to not support slavery. Creating your own meaning, shows that this piece is important, and
has value. I think that the piece successfully conveys its meaning by making you think about how
poorly the slaves were treated. Also, having nature overtaking the ship makes this a romantic piece.

Essay on Using Semiotics for Branding
In today's world an individual is bombarded with brands from companies all around the world.
These companies start with an idea and most of those ideas develop into a brand. Brands rely on the
use of semiotics, "the science of signs" (Ryan and Conover 25), to relate to consumers or
interpreters. They also relay on the connotation and denotation of the signs as well as the colors
being used. When it comes to the entire package of a marketing plan and branding a company or
product, graphic designers need to look at how to create the brand from a visually and culturally
pleasing aspect. A brand is mostly based on a semiotic design that uses a trademark image and
colors that relate to a group in a cultural setting.
When it comes to branding, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There are many strategies that graphic designers and marketing directors use to create a logo for a
company in order to form a brand. One logo strategy is to create an image that is familiar to
individuals even if it's an image that has never been seen before. Subjective familiarity is the
"perception or feeling of familiarity, whether or not it is based on previous exposure" (Henderson
and Cote 17). A critical finding in logo strategy is that cultures are homogenous in their response to
design. "Gestalt psychology suggests that "good design is determined by culturally held beliefs"
(Henderson and Cote 18). It may be difficult for an individual from an outside culture to understand
a specific design. In one culture, the meaning of a sign can be completely opposite of the culture in
which it is used, i.e. the use of the thumbs up signal.
In graphic design, semantics and pragmatics play an integral role in the development of a logo.
According to Steven Skaggs, "semantics investigates meaning, or more properly, the relationship
between the sign and its referents as interpreted.... Pragmatics studies the relationship between
semiosis and the interpreter, or interpreting group" (37). This means that an image may be
interpreted differently by one individual. This is usually based upon the person's background and/or
culture as well as their physiological demographic. Skaggs believes that a design can have a
denotation when it is interpreted narrowly in a

Light is a form of energy that behaves in some ways like waves. Light waves have a range of
wavelengths. A wavelength is the distance between any point on one wave and the corresponding
point on the next wave. Different wavelengths of light appear to us as different colors. Light that
contains all wavelengths in the same proportions as sunlight appears white. See LIGHT.
When a beam of sunlight passes through a specially shaped glass object called a prism, the rays of
different wavelengths are bent at different angles. The bending breaks up the sunlight into a
beautiful band of colors. This band contains all the colors of the rainbow and is called the visible
spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, the light appears as violet. It consists of the shortest
wavelengths of light that we can see. Farther along the spectrum, the light has increasingly longer
wavelengths. It appears as blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, each shading into its neighboring
colors in the spectrum. The longest wavelengths of light that we can see appear deep red in color.
Some descriptions of the spectrum also mention the color indigo, which is closely related to blue,
between violet and blue.
Light waves are a form of electromagnetic waves, which consist of patterns of electric and magnetic
energy. The visible spectrum is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum–the

sunflowers, petunias, marigolds, and many more were reborn in her paintings. O'Keeffe wasn't
happy because people looked at her paintings and tried to see them in the way of a female. She said,
"Well––I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my
flower you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my
flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower––and I don't." She did not like the
idea that people thought she painted the way she did because she was a female. She painted that way
because that was how she saw things. The flowers that she created epitomize her growth, success,
magnetism, and energy at that certain stage in her career. Her choice to paint these flowers was
influenced by her early training, natural attraction to flowers, and the idea of something fresh and
fragile.
Close observations of O'Keeffe's flowers show that she never really pursued the realistic approach.
She didn't paint every petal and detail. Instead she gave her flowers a life of their own, and

Color Perception: The Trichromatic Theory Of Color
Perception of Color Perception is being consciously aware (Goldstein, 2014, p. 8). Color is used in
our everyday life and is usually taken for granted. Many people don't understand how important
color is by differentiating between your red top and your yellow one, or knowing if you should stop
on a red light of drive on a green light. Being born with a color deficiency is easier because you
don't know what color is rather than losing the ability to see color after an accident. In our Sensation
and Perception book, they gave an example about and artist that lost his ability to perceive color
leading him to form depression. The artist eventually coped with his disability and started painting
black and white portraits (Goldstein, 2014, p. 200). An experiment was done by James W. Tanaka
and L.M. Presnell (1999) where they asked observers to identify objects with their normal color or
with a color change. Observers identified the objects with their original color more precisely than
the objects that were changed. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The theory was a result of color–matching experiments, in which observers adjusted the amounts of
three different wavelengths of light mixed together in a "comparison field" until the color matched
the color of a single wavelength in a "test field". The trichromatic theory of color vision states that
in order to perceive color, you need three different receptor mechanisms or three primary colors. If a
human were to be given only two primaries or wavelengths, then some colors cannot be matched.
The theory was then became the Young–Helmholtz theory of color vision stating that the vision of
color depends on three receptor mechanisms but with different spectral sensitivities. This means that
perception of color is stimulated by different wavelength and to different degrees. (Goldstein, 2014,
p. 204) (PSY 343– color,

See ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES.
Such objects as traffic lights and neon signs appear colored because the light that they give off
contains a limited range of wavelengths. However, most objects appear colored because their
chemical structure absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. When sunlight strikes a
carrot, for example, molecules in the carrot absorb most of the light of short wavelengths. Most of
the light of longer wavelengths is reflected. When these longer wavelengths of light reach our eyes,
the carrot appears orange.
An object that reflects most of the light of all wavelengths in nearly equal amounts appears white.
An object that absorbs most of the light of all wavelengths in nearly equal amounts appears black.
How we see color
The roles of the eyes and brain. Our ability to see color depends on many highly complicated
workings of the eyes and brain. When we look at an object, light coming from the object enters our
eyes. Each eye focuses the light, forming an image of the object on the retina. The retina is a thin
layer of tissue covering the back and sides of the inside of the eyeball. It contains millions of light–
sensitive cells. These cells absorb most of the light that falls on the retina and convert the light to
electrical signals. These electrical signals then travel through nerves to the brain.
The retina has two main types of

The van was the family tank, a roaring piece of machinery that somehow seemed to make the
passenger feel secure even with the alarming grumbling of the engine. The back of the van was
filled and now, on this late summer day, we were taking our leave from the shore. I looked back
once more at the sea where the sunset splattered colors of red and orange on the rough surface of
blue and violet. Although the boardwalk was lively with smells of French fries and the cries of
seagulls, I nuzzled into the car seat and waited for the Night Time Tour to begin.
I absolutely loved long car rides; it was the perfect excuse to let idle thoughts roam and to isolate
myself from the world. I only observed the outside through the window of the family van, my

revealing the pictures of the scenes for only a moment. This car ride was especially exquisite, for the
hours it took to reach our destination allowed my imagination to mingle with the fleeting world

Hart Benton Section 3 Summary
In this paper we will be discussing a mural by Thomas Hart Benton titled, A Social History of the
State of Missouri. This mural is located in the Missouri state capitol in Jefferson City Missouri. This
mural is located in the House Lounge of the capitol building. The mural covers 3 of the walls with
the exception of the West wall full of windows. The room measured 25 feet wide, 55 feet long, and
14feet 2 inches high. Benton used egg tempera for the mural and beeswax and varnish to protect it.
In 1935, House Bill 536, Section 87B became law, appropriating $16,000 for Benton to paint a
mural in the House Lounge of the Missouri State Capitol. The mural was completed in 1936.
Description:
As you walk into the House Lounge you are facing the west wall that is a row of windows. Benton
painted corn stalks, railroad lines, electrical line towers, and smoke from the train between the
windows. As you walk to the right you are facing the North wall it showcases Missouri's early
history. It is split into five sections and door separating them. There are three larger sections and two
smaller ones. In the first large panel to the left of the door you see an Indian trading with a white
man, a white man putting a pack on a mule, two white men loading/unloading a barrel from/on a
wagon, three men shooting guns, and a white man plowing land with an ox. Above the door is a
mural of a Black man holding a fish and he is looking down on a small white boy with a steam boat

Nancy Spero Mother And Children
The Final Critique
My artwork that I chose is called "Mother and Children" by Nancy Spero , and its oil on canvas. In
this art piece, you can see a figure who seems to be holding someone in their arms, and it captivates
you and catches your attention because of the sheer display of emotions that you get while looking
at it. When I went to the museum this is the first painting that caught my eye all because I could
sense the feeling that the artist was trying to convey to her audience. To me, I feel that the artist is
trying to say how a mother will protect her children and/or family at any cost, but also that there is a
dark and painful past to what happens to women and children. The message I picked up from this
