Bradbury's precarious language in the “Denham’s Dentrifice” scene is where his strong writing style is most noticeable and his form of desperate, fast-paced thinking is clearly shown in his content. Bradbury makes this point very clear in the scene on the train because his words showed that Montag was unable to think or concentrate. Bradbury’s use of the repeated words, “shut up,” shows that he was upset and exasperated even though the other people on the train were happy with the "Denham's Dentrifice" jingle. The flat side-characters on the train knew the words and were even tapping their feet, meanwhile Montag was unable to think past a single line in the bible. Bradbury's short, choppy sentences combined with his run-on sentence…
Deborah Kelly, born 1962, is an Australian mixed media artist who works in a multiplicity of areas, namely public art featurettes, sculptures, collages and political collaborations. Despite not producing any works that have been internationally regarded, Kelly’s cross-media projects have encouraged public discussion concerning many important issues facing contemporary Australia. From photographing cityscapes to street-level sculptures, her works involve exchanges between artwork and audience, in which she actively welcomes participation. Recently, Kelly has been constructing convoluted, abstract, collage-based works, and it is one of these works, from her Tender Cuts series, that has been selected for analysis, entitled ‘Encyclical From The Right Hand’.…

His artworks moved from being political protests to being focussed on the not-so-quiet intimacies of his private life. "Politics, travel, social consciousness, self-analysis, philosophical speculation and youth took second place to one over-riding obsession - to paint pictures of beauty." (Brett Whiteley, by Sandra McGrath, 1979)…
Over the centuries, presidents have influenced sense if security for their citizens as they strive for a positive future towards America’s base. Many as Abraham Lincoln cared to “bind up the nation’s wounds” especially after the battle for civil rights. Personification can be referred to as a description of the post war society as it implies the country needing a fix with an appeal of ethos. A message of optimism is therefore sent to convey the presence of aspiration in Lincoln’s mind, even in a time of division and sorrow. Credibility of Lincoln is to be tinkered with as he claims such with determination seen to be deemed relevant for advancement. Art also represented for a nearby time as George Washington crossing the Delaware may also convey hope with a contrast of light to dark. As it seems to adjust the subjects closer towards the light a symbolism is used for the bright shade to represent goodness and escape from hardship. It in this way appeals of emotion or pathos with vulnerability. George Washington ability to preserve the nation despite the extreme conditions shows an exemplary mindset of resilience and stability in his stride for a future. Nevertheless, it’s susceptible to fall into a belief in downfall and constant bondage, but with a simple positive outlook those hardships may…
His art, as it matured, became a way both to keep his own perceptions alert to all the potential of the present and to incite his readers to discover their own mode of attentiveness to life beyond the "mud and slush of opinion." “In the century after his death, the admiration of his few followers snowballed, and he is now recognized as one of the greatest writers in the United States” (Walls 1).…
Shaun Tan’s use of colour and illustrative style is interesting; the apparent grey wastelands of ‘Granpa’s story’ reflect the difficult times, the colour used in the last page is the happy ending. The frescoes and almost religious paintings of ‘No other country’ depict the richness of belonging. The suburban malaise is successfully rendered y muted tones and sparse reality in ‘Stick figures’.…
One of the many misunderstood forms of literature would have to be poetry. Some people, including modern youth, do not get how it works, sometimes with broken, gibberish sounding sentences, and often with large loads of symbolism. But, when it is put into a book about modern issues, like sexual abuse, mental health, and feminism, it can be powerful to young and old minds alike. In Rupi Kaur’s first poetry book, Milk and Honey, with everything she covers, it can at times be difficult to figure out what type of conflict Kaur is dealing with. Though, with careful consideration, one is able to figure out that though there are multiple conflicts throughout the book, the ongoing conflict is person versus self.…
With the onset of the French Revolution came the idea of making artwork for the public. Work was now able to be created as engaging political and social commentaries. For the first time, artwork created an influence rather than simply illustrating a preexisting one. Both Jean Louis David’s work Oath of the Horatii and Theodore Gericault’s Raft of the Medusa exemplify this.…
As soon as I stepped into the Social Realism exhibition room of Tate Modern, I was prompted with paintings of different styles and subjects. This room’s exhibitions’ era stretches from the 1920’s to the 1940’s, with artists from celebrated muralist Diego Rivera to controversial surrealist Balthus. This room exhibited works of many different medias from traditional oil-on-canvas works to colour pastel on paper. This room may seem slightly bland at first sights as they’re mainly portraits of plain-looking working class people and politicians, but behind the paintings themselves, lies within stories and opinions of different perspectives on commoners’ lifestyle, politics, and war of that time.…

William Kentridge was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1955. He is the artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. As Ando argues, early in Kentridge’s career, he was trying to find a suitable visual language, in the face of his position to the South African politics, Kentridge turned to Russia after the revolution of constructivism artists such as Vladimir Tatlin and Kazimir Malevich, who embraced the abstract express their utopia. Although the motives of these artists continued, but Kentridge did not adopt abstraction, perhaps because of their strong utopianism beyond his imagination. Instead, he turned to shaping and narrative expression of the concept of memory, loss and change his social and political landscape features. (Ando,…

Art is often valued based on the emotions it evokes, not simply its beauty, or level of perfection.“How does it make you feel?” is a prominent question in the world of art, and for good reason. The importance of an artwork cannot be defined lightly based on material aesthetics: The true beauty of a composition lies in its unity, discord, and solidarity. There are many instruments used to achieve this, whether it be light and contrast, colors, lines, or focal points. An artist that uses these themes to trigger calmness, or anxiety, and move the viewer emotionally, is truly talented. Lois Jean Francois Lagrenee harnesses the prowess of light, contrast, and color in the painting, Mars and Venus, Allegory of Peace, to create an epitome of tranquility.…
