The painting I chose was in the tunnels near the Minto center and Residence, located at the Carleton University Campus in Ottawa, ON. I was captivated by this sign since I am fascinated in the discussions that surround the concept of sense of self in today’s society. More explicitly, how does this sign reflect the idea of the looking glass self (Cooley) influence of symbolic interactionism has on individuals in today’s society.
The painting was created to help individuals understand that," True beauty comes from within; it’s about being kind to others and not only thinking about yourself..
The portrayal of the Beast in Beauty and the Beast is one of the best examples of symbolic interactionism. The Beast’s attitude starts off predominantly

    Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to

  • Symbolism in Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    If great writers are able to escape the influences of their era and write in a timeless fashion, then Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont is certainly not a great writer. Beaumont wrote Beauty and the Beast in eighteenth-century France during the reign of Louis XV. It was a time when the enormous bourgeoisie population was slowly growing in independent wealth, yet remained grossly overtaxed and starved. These peasants were systematically excluded from the aristocracy and the workings of government. France was a stronghold of the dying feudal-influenced monarchy system, in which the king declared himself an absolute monarch with the divine right to rule as awarded to his bloodline from God. Because of the works of the Enlightenment, commoners were growing more aware of this abusive monarchy-peasant relationship and, consequently, less inclined to accept the royal rule from Versailles (Brainard).

  • Analysis Of Brothers Grimm's Beauty And The Beast

    It is true that for almost every adaptation of the children’s cherished tale, Beauty and the Beast, the moral of the story is relatively consistent: do not judge a book by its cover. Although, in the many alternatives to the classically told story, exactly how the reader comes to this conclusion through the narrative about the young protagonist varies immensely. Two extremely contrasting examples from a collection of unique twists on well-known fables titled The Classic Fairy Tales, and edited by Maria Tatar, are “Beauty and the Beast” by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and “The Frog King” by Brothers Grimm. While the endings are rather similar by way of uncovering the man behind the beast, the differences in how each main character gets

  • Art Analysis

    Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.

    The fairytale The Beauty and the Beast is illustrated as a love story, however when looking deeper into Belle’s nature it seems to be that she is affected by several disorders throughout the film. In Beauty and the Beast, we see Disney once again sugarcoat personal problems in order to present a young audience with a one dimensional and simple female hero. Belle has clearly shown symptoms of Schizoid Personality Disorder, Stockholm Syndrome and Schizophrenia which can be treated by a biological therapeutic approach or a psychoactive drug approach and therapy.

    When first approaching this work, one feels immediately attracted to its sense of wonder and awe.

  • Lessons Found in Beauty and the Beast

    2000 Words  | 4 Pages

    The classic opener for any fairy tale, which is no different in the case of Beauty and the Beast. Fairy tales were meant to teach our children life lessons that society, at the time, deems important to learn. They teach us the difference between right and wrong, black and white, good and bad, light and dark, and beautiful and ugly. There are many different variations and names to Beauty and the Beast. This famous fable has been passed down and integrated into our culture time and time again, each time adding different lessons that were thought to be important in that day and age. What has changed over the years? How have the fairy tales of Beauty and the Beast affected the children of yesterday, today and tomorrow? I hope to show how fairy tales, more importantly Beauty and the Beast, is helpful to children in many ways, but mostly by teaching them the way that they should act in society. There are three very important lessons that Beauty and the Beast teaches us. First, and probably, the biggest one, is that beauty is only skin deep. It is what is on the inside that counts. Second, which ties in with the first lesson is, don't be too greedy because you will only be looking for the beauty on the out side. Finally, do unto others as you would have done to you, this will make you beautiful on the inside were it counts.

    The art would not exist without the artist. By looking back to the artists culture and background we can see where the inspiration for the particular art came from, this idea is presented by Diderot when he states, “I. But a thousand years from now [Racine] will still fill people with the feelings of humanity, pity, and love. They will wonder who he was and where he came from” (Diderot, 383) this statement follows the simple idea between the art versus the artist. The art which is the feelings the people will be left with and the artist who is Racine. This idea that the reader will wonder who he was and where he came from is telling the reader that the artist is important and will not only be remembered by his work but for who he is and what defines

  • Beauty and the Beast: The Untold Meaning

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    The tale “Beauty and the Beast” by Madame Leprince de Beaumont provides the ability for various audiences to read the tale and have different interpretations of what it could mean. When children read the tale they may just see it as a girl’s unconditional love for her father and her having to live with a beast which magically becomes a prince. A more profound way of looking at the tale would be to look at it with a Freudian perspective. Sigmund Freud believes that all girls go through the electra stage of development which is when young girls want to have sex with their opposite sex parent. The tale also touches on narcissism which means that the character only cares about themselves and how they can improve themselves. The tale “Beauty and the Beast” by Madame Leprince de Beaumont shows the progression of a young girls journey to women hood by the loosening of her electra ties with her father and her change in narcissistic point of view over the coarse of the tale.

    To me the painting is a way of showing you what everyone else is seeing. That the painter had the men looking right at each other so they can see themselves running away. In turn I got to see myself doing the same thing and was able to change because of it. When other people look at the painting they probably see something else. That is why I choose to do the painting, it gives you the choice too interpret it any way you see fit. Or it can just be a beautiful painting to look at, but the painting was so much more to me.
