On June 29, 2002, The Transient Rainbow was created by Cai Guo-Qiang. This image can be viewed on page 100. The subject matter used in this artwork was computer chips. The dimensions of this artwork were 300 by 600 feet. This artwork was created on the East river in New York. This artwork was representational because it represented an idea. This artist used the fundamental role of helping us see the world in new or innovative ways. The artist took this photo and made added a rainbow to see hope, renewal, and promise. In this artwork you are looking at multiple things, but the artist created a focal point. The focal point is the bright colored rainbow. In the background of this focal point you see the City of New York. In front of the focal …show more content…
The artist uses very dark colors and dim lights. The artist then uses extremely bright colors to enhance your attention on a point. All of the shapes in this image look symmetrical and flow together besides the rainbow in the center. You see a pattern in the background of the buildings but then this pattern is interrupted by the colorful rainbow. In this image there is no motion in the background and the stream of water looks still, but then you notice the artist has created motion in the rainbow. The artist creates motion by the use of colors and everything else appearing calm. At first glance you just notice an explosion of multiple bright colors, but once you look deeper you notice the bigger picture. This image was created just months after the 9/11 attack on America. This image represents hope, renewal, and promise. This picture showed that America is still strong and standing and will move on with and have hope. It also represented that this a new day and the world will rebuild. This picture promises that we will stand together and build from the bottom. The location of this image plays the major role on the overall message. The deeper meaning is clear once looking a little
Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other
There were rays of sunlight that were depicted as well. The light in the painting seemed to be focused in the middle, where the stream was. Other areas and parts of the piece were dark or darker than the area in the middle. I think that a trick with shading or lighting was used. Perhaps, it was tenebrism.
It seems to be his style of painting, thick brush strokes. It is not simple, there is much to the painting, there is emotion in the painting. It is a stunning piece made by him.
The visual devices used were concentric circles and rectangular buildings I stated the visual art elements were intertwined with the principles of design. The tall rectangular shapes portrayed skyscraper towers in New York City. Industry was portrayed through the smoke and the man with the suitcase stepping up the cog wheel. I saw a man figure in the middle playing a saxophone and assumed he was the subject matter. There was a use of gestural lines to create form of a 3-D effect with the buildings, as well as the smoke floating in the air, the people figures, the shadows, and the wheel of life. There were uses with the secondary hue green, which has value starting with a light green by the statue of liberty in the concentric circles darkening with each circle. The green cool color with a use of a neural color of brown for the buildings was how the picture was portrayed. Great space was used for overlapping objects, like the people and buildings. The buildings had a two-point perspective due to the angles they are pointing at. Symmetrical balance was achieved with the use of colors, line, and shapes (to take up space). There was a sense of movement with the man holding the briefcase, which looked like he was walking up stairs. Unity and Variety were accomplished using the use of color, shape, line, etc. The painting is
Bush demonstrates that with the use of metaphors, personification, and also repetition. Using metaphor, he compares America to steel, saying that America is like steel, but not pliable. Portraying that whatever dangerous act comes to America, America will stay strong and not move. Personification is to explain the reasoning behind the terrorists’ operations and the motives behind this move. Bush gives feeling and visualization traits to the nation, consequently putting it in the nation’s point of view, highlighting what the nation felt and saw. Repetition is to bring America together and strengthen everyone. It is to show that this heartbreaking event did not just affect the victims, but it affects the entire country. The way Bush uses repetition to get the people of America together makes America stronger because the more a country is together, the more power and strength it will possess. As a final point, President Bush’s usage of these three rhetorical devices grabs the attention of the people and helps Bush express the type of tone he wants to get
The focus of the photography is located on the woman's face who seems to wear a concern look. The woman's facial expression leads me too conclude that she has lived a tiresome live and hopes for a better future. The photography was also zoomed in when taken which deprives the audience from focusing on anything but the four people within the picture. This carefully meditated action by the photographer leads me to believe that he wanted us to focus on the woman's face and predict what she felt at that exact moment. Therefore my interpretation of this photograph is the theme of fearing the
middle of paper ... ... He attempts to convince the public that discrimination has gone on for far too long and it is time for a change. As for the photo, it mainly uses the appeal of Pathos, but it does not lack in power. The image is simple but communicates a powerful image revolving around discrimination.
From the piece of artwork “Rain at the Auvers”. I can see roofs of houses that are tucked into a valley, trees hiding the town, black birds, clouds upon the horizon, hills, vegetation, a dark stormy sky and rain.

...t of people around you. The images are really helped clarify what the singer really wants to talk about. Without the images in the video some many things could have been interpreted from the song itself. Before I watched the video I just thought the author was talking about war, and specially the wars America was fighting at the time of the song’s release. The music in combination with the instrumentals and video create a piece of art that enlightens the soul.
In that picture you can see how my friends and I are celebrating the end of primary school. I think that picture shows how young people knew how to have fun, which is one of the most important things in life. It can serve future generations to see how you do not need much
The image, a picture of a dark school classroom with a sliver of bright, yellow sunlight piercing the coldness of the room showed the class that there are many better opportunities outside of school which can lead to a brighter future. Although many students related it back to school, most took on a more pessimistic view of the picture. They focused more on the despair and feeling of hopelessness that the darkness provoked rather than the optimism created from the stream of sunlight coming through. Also, most viewers only linked the image to pathos, and was unfortunately ignorant towards the other rhetorical
Upon further review I was instantly intrigued by the technique in which it was created. Not a single brushstroke of what is commonly used in paintings but rather small perfectly round dots in vibrant yellows, greens, oranges, and blues. Small dots of color perfectly marrying together to form a single image. One could instantly imagine the painstaking hours and the amount of effort that went into creating such a beautiful piece.
So it can show that the mind is one of the loneliest, scariest, and the most amazing places we can. escape to, and no one else can know what you are thinking. I have seen how to symbolise certain things by colours and shapes and how to give a certain impression and mood. I can see how amazing dreams and nightmares are because they are not in this world, but they are only true portraits of ourselves and our lives so anything is possible and even our darkest and saddest feelings that we bury away inside us can show and come to life in our dreams. I have learnt to make a straightforward piece of art turn into an emotional and deep feeling.
