The layout is filled with tall trees and wavy grass. The
In the etching, most of the people are unaware of the others. At the center, a partially dressed woman raises her arms and leans forward as if to display her body; in the foreground, another woman is reaching out to the clothesline, and right above her head shows a male figure’s silhouette, facing the windows across away. “Its subject is certainly voyeurism, but who is the voyeur? The man on the roof, the artist, the picture's viewer, or all three?” ( Zurier, 281) Looking at the work, it is hard to determine who is the spectator and who is being spectated, as the relationship between them is intricate and interactive. Here, Sloan not only portrays his observation, but also critiques the action of urban watching

Every Author tends to use their own version diction and storytelling. Dillard and Hayslip are not exceptions to this theme
Photographs capture the essence of a moment because the truth shown in an image cannot be questioned. In her novel, The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold uses the language of rhetoric to liberate Abigail from the façade of being a mother and spouse in a picture taken by her daughter, Susie. On the morning of her eleventh birthday, Susie, awake before the rest of the family, discovers her unwrapped birthday present, an instamatic camera, and finds her mother alone in the backyard. The significance of this scene is that it starts the author’s challenge of the false utopia of suburbia in the novel, particularly, the role of women in it.

I chose to write about a painting. It is Embarkation of the Pilgrims by American artist Robert W. Weir in 1843. It is oil on canvas and the size is 12’ by 18’. It is about people who seek for religious freedom. The painting takes place on the desk of a ship, gathering for a prayer. There are men, women, and children pictured in this painting. Everything is laid out asymmetrically. People in the painting look in different directions, has different facial emotions, and body gestures. The focal point of this composition is the armor, musket, and the helmet is the primary objects. They lie in the foreground beside a screw and a man holding the Bible and looking up to the sky surrounded by people. The color of the sky and rainbow is warm and bright, driving the feeling of relaxation and the appearance of natural beauty. There are also men and women pledging to the man that is holding the book.
The Pulitzer Prize winning writer N. Scott Momaday has become known as a very distinctive writer who depicts the stories of the Native American life in almost poetic ways. He does an excellent job of transporting the reader from the black and white pages of a book, to a world where every detail is pointed out and every emotion felt when reading one of Momaday’s books or other writings. This style of writing that Momaday uses is very evident in his work “The Way to Rainy Mountain,” and made even more apparent by reading a review of the book House Made of Dawn found on a web site run by HarperCollins Publishers.
Art and poetry are an expression of thoughts and ideas from the poet or painter’s point of view. They can be compared and analyzed through the use of mood, tone, symbols, and other literary devices. Both invoke an image of the events occurring that imply a deeper meaning; however, the scenes depicted may contrast depending on the creator of the work. Although Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, “The Lady of Shalott,” and William Hunt’s painting, “The Lady of Shalott,” differ, they offer various similarities due to their use of symbols and imagery.

Through digital manipulation, Shayne Higson’s work is primarily photographic, although she often augments her images using hand-drawn elements.

Women desire to become beautiful and powerful, even if they don’t say it in words. And the Photographer plays with that concept and creates that desire, that you can become that person you see in the photograph. And live that lifestyle. Photographers use techniques from the cinema/cinematic, to create the desire of viewers/Buyer/Consumers. The cinematic techniques made it possible the way people lived and the...
Have you ever wondered what sets the suitable writers apart from the exceptional ones? One of the most valued tools used in writing is the ability to build their story using imagery and characterization to construct a scene for the reader. This allows them to feel as if they themselves are directly plotted into the story and can relate to the characters on a personal level. Imagery and characterization contribute to the development in “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Paradise Lost by John Milton.
