Nuit Blanche Observation
It was my first time visiting the Nuit Blanche Festival in Toronto and it definitely was an experience to say the least. Since the streets were flooded with people, I found it difficult to really take in all the art that surround this area. Although, I still valued the art works that I managed to see and one really stood out to me. Horses curated by Barbara Fischer was the most “out of the box” art I saw that night. It had actual horses dispersed on the road along the Queen’s Park and viewers were allowed to have some interact with the horses. Looking at this work of art in regard to the article, 10 Thoughts on Why Nuit Blanche Has Triumphed – and Tanked – Across Canada by Leah Sandals Horses triumphed in going beyond the “white cube”. You

    Simone De Beauvoir Analysis

    Simone de Beauvoir was born in Paris in 1908 to Georges de Beauvoir and Francoise Brasseur.1 Her father was raised in a rich family that drew him to the right on the political scale.1 He was a strong atheist and pushed this on Beauvoir and her sister.1 Her mother on the other hand was a devout Catholic, and that along with her weak and rather submissive personality (something that manifests itself in the fact that she grew up in a time before first wave feminism), polarized her and Beauvoir. Her father fed her intellectual side, providing her with abundant works of literature and encouraging her to read and write from an early age. Beauvoir was very religious as a kid, which was likely a result of…

    Africobra Informative Evaluation

    The speaker, Regina Glover, gave an informative Speech about the history, significance, and aesthetics of AfriCobra. The content of her speech was well developed, in how she choose to organize it. It was clever for her to give a brief history first so that the audience could have a glimpse of how AfriCobra began. To present the significance of AfriCobra second was also smart, because the audience would have wanted to know the overall purpose of the art, which made Regina’s speech and the art itself more meaningful. When she presented the aesthetics of AfriCobra last, it allowed the audience to learn the style of the art, therefore adding interest to her topic.…

    Big Red Movie Analysis

    Everyone is dressed to the nines, tickets held tight in their hands, with the smell of fresh grass in the air; Welcome, to the fabulous world of horse racing! The announcement is made to get the horses in place. Next, the trumpet sounds, and the crowd goes wild as the horses exit the gates. “Secretariat”, the story of the great Triple Crown winning Colt is also a story about being the underdog, facing the odds, and never giving up; something we all can relate to in some way or another.…

    The Lais Of Marie De France Analysis

    In The Lais of Marie de France, poet Marie de France illustrates many different kinds of love. The main themes being marriage and extramarital affairs. From reading the lais, Guigemar and Bisclavret, I believe that Marie has a traditional view of marriage. I can assume that Marie believes a marriage takes two to work. I also can assume that Marie believes that either partner can cause a marriage to fail. In her stories she does not put the blame of a failed marriage on just the husband or the wife, instead she creates different scenarios that causes the audience to recognize that it is not just one gender that possesses certain characteristics. She plays with what society would consider masculine or feminine by giving the characters opposite…

    Why is the "Group of Seven" the most influential group of painters in Canada?

    Before the Group of Seven emerged from Toronto, Canadian landscape painting often imitated European styles and themes. The Group were regarded as the creators of a national style of painting that did not use the academic formulas of painting found in Europe. They chose to revive Canadian art and create a new tradition that did not rely on European trends. The efforts of the Group of Seven changed the perception of Canadian art as art that should have a European sensibility to that which should be unique to Canada.…

    Characterization Of Blanche Monologue

    Williams’ characterization of Blanche as a character of many layers and different emotions is particularly evident in this scene as he presents her in different lights through different mediums. In this scene, Blanche is presented as afraid. This effect is achieved through Blanche’s actions, which are revealed to us by stage directions. “She looks fearfully after him” this explicitly unveils to the audience Blanche’s reaction to Mitch’s arrival as well as his attitude. The adverb “fearfully” adequately captures Blanche’s true feelings; passing across the idea of fear to the audience. In addition to this effect, the phrase “after him”, directs Blanche’s emotion to a particular person and the audience understands that Blanche’s reaction is due to Mitch’s presence. However, it isn’t just in one instance that we see this fearful response; the passage is littered with actions that give evidence of anxiety, reiterating the point that she does not feel secure. Actions such as her “frightened gasp” show her instability and insecurity, the word “frightened” shows her fear, while “gasp” present her surprise. The audiences is then able to…

    How To Foreshadow Blanche's Fatal Flaw

    “Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Emerson’s saying is all that embodies A Streetcar Named Desire. Williams’s Blanche is that tragic heroin hurt by the depths of society. Her tragic flaw is her pursuit of society and her madness for beauty. The Young Man’s presence in Scene 5 of Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire is essential as it illustrates Blanche’s fear of vanishing beauty and old age. Elia Kazan’s film version of A Streetcar Named Desire correspondingly to Williams’s play uses the Young Man to foreshadow Blanche’s fatal flaw. Williams’s illustration of the young man reveals innocence and naivety which ultimately contrasts with Blanche’s character. However, Kazan’s adaptation of…

    People from different cities, and states come down just for this event. There are six stages, dozens of rides, and a full gallery’s worth of art, cool off zones, vendors, food and beverages. We were surrounded by the smell of popcorn and cotton candy. It felt like the carnival you liked to go to as a kid. Everywhere we went there were people dressed like rainbows. Everybody was dressed in so many colors, and dressed like clowns, with different costumes. The…

    Jeannette Research Paper

    Jeannette was cooking her own hotdogs at the age of three. While cooking hotdogs for herself, her pink dress catches on fire and is hospitalized for six weeks. Jeannette only being three years old at the time of the accident does not let it rule her life. After being smuggled out of the hospital by her father, she returns to playing with fire. Jeannette was taught to take care of herself at a very young age. She was taught how to cook for herself and to shoot a gun by herself at a very young age. Her parents believed that if you don’t beck-and-call on their child’s every whine or cry, it will teach them to grow up to be tough. This is the problem I find most interesting when looking at Jeannette’s childhood.…

    History

    The “Fetiche et Fleurs,” painting was introduced by Palmer Hayden on 1926 but was recognized until 1931 when it won the gold medal for the Harmon Foundation. This painting has been loved by many people but also criticized by others. People have criticized him as being part of minstrelsy. Minstrelsy used to be shows with African actors stereotyping, making fun of their own race, and being shown as weaker and less than the whites. But others like me have seen that what he paints and describes are not any stereotypical meanings but rather expressing the African-American society and culture.…

    Emily Carr Research Essay 1

    Every person has a special appreciation for art. It is something that has been part of mankind from the very beginning. Art inspires us, and makes us think in a way none of us have ever imagined. We respect, love, and even glorify those artists who make us feel that way. Many people have heard of Emily Carr; she is a very special and loved Canadian artist. She might not be known all over the world, but she has certainly captivated the attention of those that have had even the slightest look at her art. Emily was accepted by the Group of Seven, and by far is British Columbia’s favorite artist.…

    Lawren Harris Group 7 Analysis

    What I think of when I hear art is expression. Personally, I think that the greatest form of expression is through art. Art can be visual art, writing, drama, and music. It’s very interesting because no expression is the exact same ; they are always personally special-made by the artist. The Group of seven is a great representation of personal expression. In their time they created a name for themselves as well as creating a new form of art for Canada. They were very important members of the art society.…
