Summary: The Quiet Beauty Of A Hunter's Lair
The Quiet Beauty of a Hunter’s Lair

For my visual description, I chose to write about a photograph captured by Jason Vaughn, The Quiet Beauty of a Hunter’s Lair. The picture is part of a series called Hide. The picture was taken in Columbus, Wisconsin in the year 2013. Photographs from Hide were placed in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art Wisconsin Triennial and the State of the Art exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The photo, which is twenty-four inches high by thirty inches wide, shows the beauty of a deer stand in a still setting deep in the woods. The hazy sky and the distant trees in the background without much clarity put emphasis on the deer stand, making the stand the focal point of the photo. The lighting

    The subject matter on which I am doing this assignment on is a piece of photography. This piece was done by a local photographer Greg Hill. He accordingly named his work “Pierre Pressure”. This piece of photography captures a pierre and its surroundings in Sebastian, Florida. Above the pierre is the focal point of the artwork, a breath-taking Florida sunset. The sunset is constructed of various hues of pink, orange, and yellow. The alluring sunset is ever so slightly hidden by a veil of oddly formed clouds. The water at the bottom of the photograph reflects the beguiling beauty of the sky. To the left side of the print stands the pierre. The pierre itself is in much darker lighting than the rest of the subject matter. The subject matter in…

    Bonnie Divine’s art piece ‘Figuration of Places’ depicts a unique and animated perspective on Canada. The canvas of the painting consists of deer hide and displays a variety of animals layered strategically on the hide. Additionally, size varies as each animal and its area represent Canada’s bodies of water; Notably, the largest animals being the turtle, bison and rabbit are positioned closely to represent resemble Baffin Bay, Beamfort Sea, and Hudson Bay.

Furthermore, she proves this notion by substituting lakes for animals, so to animate the substances and materials by insinuating that land is alive and…

    While visiting the Jaycee Park Centre for the Arts, this picture of cowboys rounding up cows on a ranch instantly caught my eye. The picture is a standard size of 3x3, and is square shaped. It is enclosed within a golden frame, which makes it more conspicuous. I was drawn to the picture by the cowboy who is wearing the red scarf, and sky blue shirt. The artist James Spurlock, has used him to capture the observer’s attention by using bold colors on his clothes as opposed to the other two cowboys, and the cows. The artist has also created an impression of distance as the cows in the front appear to be large in size. and clearer as compared to the two cowboys in the background. The element of a middle ground is present which is portrayed by the cowboy with the red scarf. He appears to be positioned between the cows in the front, and the other two cowboys in the back. The artist has been able to imply the texture of the cows’ skin using different brush strokes. One can see the roughness of the cows’ skin even without having to touch the smooth oil painted canvas. One cannot immediately tell the time of day when the picture was taken. This is because the background is not blue, but rather it is a greyish color, and most probably the cowboys are trying to lead the cows back to their stables for shelter before it rain. In the process of rounding up the cows, the surrounding is filled with dust resulting in the dark gold background.…

    Georgia O’ Keeffe is a famous female artist from the early 1900’s. She was considered part of the modern art era. My mother recommended I write this paper on O’Keeffe because she felt she was such a tremendous and timeless artist. She is considered to be an abstract artist who had the extraordinary skill of taking an everyday object, enlarging it to a certain focal point creating a new abstract view (Felder 37). This caught my attention because of the current project we are drawing. Art has never been a strong area for me. However, I am really learning to appreciate what it brings to the world. I am drawing a still life currently of a heel. Although it is a lot more modern than many of the drawings O’Keefe has done, it still has a lot of similar aspects, such as the focusing in on one specific piece of something. O’Keeffe depicted scenes of flowers, landscapes, and still life’s. Often her work contained “richly colored forms, abstract shapes, flowers, buildings, bones, hills, trees, clouds, sky, and stones (Castro 1). These ingredients garnered her with admirers and a legacy for a new style of painting. We have many pictures of landscape shots and close ups of specific flowers in my home, and I absolutely adore them because of their calmness. During the latter half of O’Keeffe’s career, she moved to the American southwest. This area became the main subject of her paintings, making some of her most celebrated work.…

    In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Sanger Rainsford and General Zaroff are similar in many ways. From the beginning to the end, it becomes more clear how they are similar when Zaroff challenges Rainsford to a game where both men play roles as hunters and huntees. Each man uses his own skill set to survive the other's way of hunting, although in the end Rainsford ends up winning and Zaroff is killed. One main reason the protagonist, Rainsford and the antagonist Zaroff are alike is because both men have a drive to hunt. For example, Rainsford knows how to hide, set traps and outwit his enemy. General Zaroff states, “Not many men know how to make a Malay…

    “The Most Dangerous Game” initiates by introducing a hunter by the name of Sanger Rainsford. As Mr. Rainsford gets stranded on the Island of Ship Trap Island, owned by a Cossack by the name of General Zaroff, he discovers a game that he dares not play. As General Zaroff eases Rainsford into his “more dangerous game” (8), Rainsford “[wished] to leave this island at once” (15). After many hints he realizes that the biggest game had to be humans, which were brought in by the great seas or hashes of light leading to humongous rocks. After Rainsford denies Zaroff’s offer to hunt, Zaroff tells Rainsford that “the choice rests entirely with [him]” (15). He can either choose to hunt or get knouted by Ivan, his assistant. The first day of Rainsford’s…

    The second image “Oak Tree, Snowstorm” it focuses on only one tree although all the others are also clearly visible. By having the main tree of focus almost fit the frame perfectly with the exception of the cut of extra leaves on the right makes your eyes completing ignore the other trees during the first few seconds until your eyes notice the other trees. Finally, one of my personal favorites examples of the marvelous use of the composition is “Bridalveil Fall.” It has a perfectly balanced dark foreground of trees and bushes in the right corner extending to the bottom and right side of the photo. The foreground acts as a professional custom made frame for the rest of the photo.…

    Always a hunter, his eyes were tuned to recognize distant motion. The snow hadn’t reached town yet, and the boughs and needles remained clear and lush. The deep and varying greens of the wall of pine was stark against the blue of the midafternoon sky. There wasn’t a single cloud. It was a beautiful, blue bird day.…
