Hamlet’s lust for Ophelia is shown how he fights over her. For example, when Hamlet jumps in Ophelia's grave with Laertes and…
Through the cool naturalistic colours and soothing texture of the landscape, we immediately feel included within the proceedings. The trees, sky and lake are all richly detailed as the organic shaping creates a smooth flowing movement of the natural world. Ultimately, in his later years of painting Glover not only concentrated on landscape formulation but evidently demonstrated greater passion for the elements within his paintings, “...it turned him from a purely landscape painter to a painter of the figure in the landscape” (Betty Churcher, 2008). The large scaling of the image is further perceived by the distant mountains sloping across the horizon corresponding to the movement of the clear white clouds, ultimately establishing a serene yet powerful landscape demonstrating the earthy colour and smooth texture of the…
The artwork by Claire Oakley is a mixed media painting of tree textures. Unique ways are applied to creating this work with tissue paper, watercolour, poster paint, and acrylic. The artist represents the natural texture and ochre colour of tree bark to the artwork, however, tints of vivid colour are also used to create a livelier atmosphere. The essence of this artwork is its texture and naturalness resembling real trees.…
The form and shape of the trees created by Glover are strongly organic spreading out past the boarder of the canvas. Glover’s technique of painting trees is one of the key elements his work is recognised by. Glover’s painting shows the trees as both living and not living. The work is dominated by organic forms: the animals scattered in the foreground, the organically flowing lines of the hills, the trees spanning through all layers of the work reaching out of the canvas in the foreground, the man placed in the lower right corner of the work admiring the landscape and tending to the cattle.…
The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…
For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…
“Perhaps it was true. Maybe Allah lived only in my land, with the homelanders. Maybe he didn’t live on the toubabu’s ship or in the toubabu’s land. I said nothing.” (Page 86)…
Ophelia was another character in the story that lost her mind because of her father’s death. She was mad acting like foolish and this madness has caused her several psychological damages. Ophelia much like Hamlet has experienced the exact same thing when her father has murdered. The dilemma drove her into madness because she had no control over her emotional pain. She might become depressed because of the conflict between her father and Hamlet. She could not handle traumatic experience when she lost her father; she became insane to ultimately drown herself in the river.…
This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…
Ophelia is a crutch to Hamlet, a living symbolic representation of Hamlet’s emotions much in the same way that ancient Greek stories used a chorus. Ophelia is the one woman chorus of Hamlet (the play and character both), a fact which makes her one of the most elementally affluent of Shakespeare’s characters in a literary sense. In his play, Hamlet, William Shakespeare uses his character Ophelia’s descent into madness as a parallel…
Ophelia embodies a foil for Hamlet in which his qualities are identified as favorable. Hamlet’s personification of a tragic hero stems from overcoming his procrastination in order to kill Claudius, whereas Ophelia’s succumb to ending her life portrays herself negatively and weak.The foil between Hamlet and Ophelia ultimately uncover Shakespeare’s that cowardice is stemmed in one’s inability to take action, not simply created by cowardly…
Only once the lily’s surroundings are taken in can the true beauty of the lily be revealed to the artist. Even amongst all of the creatures and madness, there sits the water lily, “trembling hardly at all”. The poet knows that there’s both an ugly and a beautiful side to nature and he wants this to be known to the artist. Once the artist realizes all of this he can finally begin to paint. “Now paint the long-necked…
Ophelia goes insane and acts very childlike. Her way of coping with somthing is to Sing songs about flowers. The songs she sings in front of Laertes, Gertrude and Claudius are sorrowful reminders that the corrupt world has taken its toll on Poor Ophelia. Ophelias Pure innocence really shows in the play because shes not taking the news too well about how hamlet really is. In the beginning of the play Ophelia talks about Hamlet and Her brother Laertes warns Ophelia that Hamlet does not have the freedom to just marry whoever he wants, as Laertes walks out Ophelias dad Polonius comes in and he overheard the conversation and he adds in that he doesn’t want Ophelia talking to Hamlet because he fears that Hamlet is not earnest about her. Ophelia respects her dads feelings but when hamlet starts talking about her she catches feelings and forgets everything her dad and brother has told her. Not thinking with her head she falls…
There are many people that contribute to my life and are shaping me into the person I am today. When somebody new enters my life they contribute a different aspect. In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Ophelia contributes aspects that no other character does. Ophelia is portrayed as a loyal daughter caught between her love for her father and her love for Hamlet.…
Something that stood out when I first saw the painting was the difference between color. The sky is a soft blue and the trees are a lot darker. Also, the two main subjects in the painting, especially the male figure, really stand out because of the colors the artist used for their clothing. Nonetheless, one characteristic that artist commonly used during this time period was the theme of playfulness or love, which is interesting because immediately when I first saw the painting the mood seemed a lot less stressful as opposed to the other two paintings. Secondly, during the Rococo period, a lot of the paintings were asymmetrical in balance, similar to what the artist did in this painting. Additonally, I noticed that the artist used light or pastel colors throughout some parts of the painting. For example, the flowers on the floor of the painting are a light, pastel pink and the woman's clothes are an off white. Although some of the painting, such as the trees, are intense in color, lighter colors were used to create a happier mood. Bright, vibrant colors were also commonly connected to this period, explaining the man’s clothing, which is a bright red color. Finally, the Rococo period consisted of elaborate settings much like this one. The background is heavily decorated with trees and throughout the painting, there are flowers surrounding it. I also noticed that there is minimal to no space since everything is preoccupied with elaborate…
