Personal Narrative: The Painted Ladies
After Big Sur and spending the night in Pacifica we went further north to San Francisco. When we spent the night in Pacifica our hotel was right near the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to. I just absolutely love the sound of the ocean. In San Francisco we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty cool thing to see with the views of San Francisco and the ocean. We then went to the park across from the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are the houses that appear in the background of the opening of the original Full House series. It was an awesome thing to go see as I grew up watching Full House and will still watch it from time to time. Once we were done at the park we went to the San Francisco Giants stadium. Although

    Summary Of The Painting 'Wailing Women'

    Wailing Women, created by Ken Currie is a large-scale painting that attempts to capture the emotional trauma of war (figure 1). Currently located at the McMaster Art Gallery, this oil painting successfully conveys large-scale loss of human life through its expressionistic style. Currie’s choice of style allows for the figures to be more distorted and symbolic, making the piece more visually appealing. Rather than merely present the event to the viewer in an art form, the Currie creates an emotional experience.…

    How Do the Works of Yasumasa Morimura, Julie Rrap and Anne Zahalka Challenge Conventional Ways in Which Gender Has Been Depicted Historically in the Visual Arts?

    The works of contemporary artists such as Yasumasa Morimura, Julie Rrap and Anne Zahalka recontextualize the way gender is attributed with art via the post-modern frame. The main channel used to achieve this idea has involved the reversal of roles of gender, where the woman is depicted as the dominant character and the man must subjugate and adjust himself to suit her body position. The artworks targeted by these renowned artists are well known established pieces that are historically rich and evaluate the zeitgeist of their time; these traits are still evident within the metropolis of today. All three artists focus on the theme of gender and all seek to challenge the traditional view of the role of gender in visual art, yet their individual target audience centres on different facets of society, though what holds true is their voyeur. Yasumasa Morimura chooses to shock the viewer by replacing the female role with himself; this appropriation challenges our attitudes towards arts masterpieces and whether they are still valid in this…

    Summary Of Storytelling Through Different Eyes And Culture By Sandra Cisneros

    Sandra Cisneros has greatly established herself as the best-read U.S. Latina writer, with her well known novel Caramelo she brings to readers the inside lives of a Mexican-American. When Cisneros starts off her novel she automatically starts mentioning bright colors, such as all of these comparisons with color, they are powerfully displayed by the image of the rebozo. We will encounter the rebozo in this novel frequently. Ethnicity has been a symbolic and evolving presence in Cisneros’s texts. She uses the rebozo as a symbolic item to show the reader the motif of being a woman. The rebozo in Caramelo serves as a representation of Cisneros’ culture as a symbolic piece, being unraveled and then…

    Personal Narrative: The Amazing Amanda Doll

    When I was younger I loved dolls; I loved playing pretend with them, dressing them up, and pretending that they were real. For my younger self to hear of a doll that not only could talk but could move her eyes on mouth on her own was mind blowing. I saw a lot of cheery commercials on television for a doll called Amazing Amanda. It was so cool; the doll even had the same name as me! When I ripped through the colorful Barbie wrapping paper Christmas day and saw that it was the Amazing Amanda doll I jumped around like a grasshopper and raced to go find batteries. I played with that doll everyday, singing songs with her loudly which probably sounded more like off-key screeching. It was incredible to me to watch her glassy, blue eyes blink and…

    Changing Roles Of Women In Art Essay

    Overall, the Venus suggests that women were important. They were essential to life and survival because child bearing capabilities ensured the survival of the people. During the Paleolithic period, hunters and gatherers were constantly being killed, and in order to thrive as a society the woman was a necessity. With the changing roles of men and women in society, the depiction of women in art was not only defined as images of fertility, but of companions and royalties.…

    Beauty In The 1920 Essay

    Over the centuries the definition of beauty has changed, but what hasn’t changed is the pressure on women and men to conform to those standards. In the 1920s the era of the flapper a rail thin figure was coveted with an emphasis on long legs. In the 1940s and 50s curves were all the rage with an emphasis on a plumper figure. Then the 1960s rolled around and we returned to the rail thin figure with the popularization of fashion icons like twiggy and Audrey Hepburn. In the 1990s, if twiggy's rail thin figure wasn’t enough, women were asked to become skinnier and this figure is coveted even in today's day in age. There are two ends to what is considered beautiful today. Either you had that extreme thin body or you had a curvier body. Even with…

    Personal Narrative: The Argument Of Women

    This is another quote that focuses on the amount of women all over the world who are forced to last (through bad times) whatever harm comes their way. Not only in Afghanistan, but in every country, and every neighbourhood. This is an on going issue in the world that has been around for centuries and is one that is often times 'swept under the rug.' To me, this issue should not be over looked at all, and I would certainly like to see and take part in educating (communities of people) on women's…

Chou is famous for creating art pieces that relates to the viewer by incorporating “familiar objects or images to depict the dichotomy found inside highly developed societies”. (Chou) She uses many aspects that play pivotal roles in our lifes, such as using anything that can be found in nature, which can range from plants to animals. YaYa Chou has made mixed media pieces from just about everything possible. YaYa Chou’s works are inspired by language, social phenomenon and melody, stemmed from consumption, theory, and words.

    Coming of Age-Portrait of an Artist

    A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a complete work of art, complete in the sense that it gives such great insight to human nature and the people of the world. The title is essentially what this novel represents. The “coming of age” is represented like a portrait because it takes a long time, with many different attempts, to reach the final work of art. In even greater context, the protagonist experiences a series of epiphanies in which he gains insight into his own nature and into the people of the world. In the main characters “coming of age” there are crucial components that are lost and gained, which can be derived from his love of family, religion, and art.…

    Gender Essay in Art.

    The later 20th century saw the manifestation of the Post-Modernism, in which the use of appropriation and re-contextualisation was developed to test previous conventional depictions of gender in the visual arts. Artists Yasumasa Morimura, Julie Rrap, Anne Zahalka and Cindy Sherman have each employed the use of appropriation to question the historical ideologies of gender, particularly in relation to women, and their role in art and society. They all borrowed past paintings and promoted them with new context to portray and explore different meanings towards gender, being mediated.…
