1950s Chrome Analysis
This piece has awesome description! Some moments that I like were; "an arched entry to a kitchen decorated in 1960s linoleum the color of Hollywood sanitariums and brushed aluminum where the 1950s chrome would have been." and "the autumn walnut and chestnut fights we had when the trees in the yard dumped loads of nuts in the sleeping grass." They both let me envision these scenes as if I were there looking at them.

I also really like the comparison you made of your childhood to an antique bureau, it's interesting and made me really curious about the large oval mirror that you mention as being "the one that looks back upon us, that sees over our shoulders the way out. " I wanted to know more about this and how it connects to the rest of this

    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…

    Hiott’s piece displayed unity, which can be thought of as elements within an art piece that brings together the artwork, to commutate the exhibit’s message of Looking Forward, Looking Back. Hiott accomplished this feat by utilizing the same color scheme, ageing techniques, and subject matters. Hiott chose globes to represent looking forward to an exciting future of endless possibilities, faraway places, and dreams of adventure. All three of the photographs are slightly fuzzy, are black and white, and feature an old globe placed upon rustic farmhouse chairs. These features combined with the black wooden panels and the subtle blackening of the photographs’ edges helped to give the artwork an “old-fashioned,” looking back feel.…

This describes how well built the house was. It also showed the amount of sturdiness and protection the Abbey provided. By describing the Abbey in detail it provided a connection to symbolizing the Abbey with protection.…

    Marker 10 Moments

    There are a number of instances that had made me realize that Professor Shi’s video, 10 Moments, is a tribute to Marker’s 1956 film because of certain elements of the later film. For instance, Professor Shi also captures the record of everyday life experiences and interactions as Marker did in his film. It may not picture the 1950s, but it did have similar everyday experiences. The video was a tribute to emphasize more on what he deemed as important or intriguing in everyday life or just city life in general. We see in Marker’s video how Beijing in the 1950s was still growing as an economic power and in Professor’s Shi’s video we see the change as he captures calming moments of everyday in the urban city.…

    The pictures on the corresponding page tightly match the idea, dialogue or event mentioned. Lawson has the freedom to show what he feels each character and place looks like. Black and white drawings are utilized. While some may find this limiting, what it does is forces the reader to closely inspect each picture. The illustrations are so basic that it could misleadingly cause someone to believe that they do not contain any detail beyond just what is said. But they brilliance in the drawings, is that it gives just enough to allow the reader to have a jumping off point. A small child would then be able to finish he story in their mind, thanks the nudging help of Lawson’s…

    Gwendolyn Brooks’ intense passage from her novel “Maud Martha” emphasizes the impact change can have through difficult situations. Maud Martha, mama and Helen wait on their front porch for Papa to come home with news of whether they are capable to keep their house. Papa then comes home with information that they will not lose their home. Primarily, the significant setting is emphasized through the portraying imagery. The speaker emphasizes Maud Martha‘s home with “those shafts and pools of light, the tree, the graceful iron, that might soon be viewed possessively by different eyes.” The graphic image of the house creates the comforting setting of the home and depicts the personal connection the family has to the house through the visual description. Likewise, the speaker stresses that “the rain would drum with as sweet a dullness nowhere but here. The birds of South Park were mechanical birds, no better than the poor caught canaries in those “rich” women’s sun parlors.” Again, the significance of the home is stressed though the visual image describing the meaningful setting through the comparison of the homey atmosphere to the artificial life at South Park. Furthermore, Papa is seen coming home as “he passed the Kennedys’/ passed the vacant lot/ passed Mrs. Blakemore’s.” The vivid details of the nearby setting depicts the families familiarity with the neighbors creating a deeper connection between the family and the ordinary setting. Essentially, the meaningful setting is emphasizes the portraying imagery highlighting the personal meaning of the home.…

    We reached my Aunt’s house. A tall apartment looking building, we entered on the first floor which was a restaurant. The people were eating and socializing. It was not nearly as crowded as the airport scene not by far. We make our way to the elevator we stop on the second floor there I meet my uncle small slender man smiling and nodding welcoming us.

    I kept on scrabbling about in my clothes and books. My sister came over with the door opened then closed again. Fresh air slipped into the room and floated over me, accompanied by a fragrance of sandalwood, which all at once dragged my sight to notice my drawer. It was like me in my childhood, starting from emptiness to then full of happiness. I could easily tell the story of every tiny piece in it. The fragrance belonged to a brown wooden casket with some floral designs on it, which was my 12th birthday present from my best friends, with my portrait they designed for me inside. Yet, for three years, I didn’t come to this room and reopened it once, not even just to look at those little cute collections.…
