Greg Hill's Pierre Pressure
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

    Biography of Olive Cotton: Australia's Finest Photographer

    In this image Cotton has captured a surreal moment. The use of black and white exaggerates the scene and gives of a cold and dark feeling. The photo Vapour Trail 1991 was taken from a low angle shot. Taking the image from this angle allows Cotton to include the vapour trail and the clouds in the sky and environment around it. The vapour trail which runs from the top right corner to the bottom left corner give a deep depth of field, the trail has a rough, grainy texture throughout it and consists of many distorted lines. The light source is coming from the bottom right highlighting the clouds. Also included in the photograph is a line of trees and shrubs in the foreground. The foreground…

    An Uncertain Grace Photography And The Alchemy Of Light And Time Analysis

    Throughout the story "An Uncertain Grace: Photography and the Alchemy of Light and Time" there were seven pictures that were talked about. The article talked about these specific pictures because each photo represents different things and different modes when looking at the image. The five elements in photography are the thing itself, the details, the frame, the time, the vintage point. The images that were shown in the article each represent at least one of the five elements of photography. The article talks about historical events that helped understand things better, as well as stories that helped me understand more of the different moods that an image can bring on.…

    comparative study of structural and post modern elements - Imants Tillers and William Robinson

    Mount Analogue is a vivid, bright and wonderfully detailed traditionally set out interpretation of a real landscape. The artwork is set up in 165 small canvas boards placed together to create a massive scaled artwork (279x571cm.) In the foreground we are positioned on the rocky face of a cliff along with five other hikers painted very small staring out into a massive mountain range stretching very far to a clear horizon line and to a small strip of blue sky. The oil stick and polymer paint used is able to make the white’s brown’s and oranges of the slightly snow covered mountains stand out quite brightly against the dark rocks in the foreground. Shapes, textures and lines of the mountains in this artwork are very realistic through the use of small brushes with detailed and precise strokes, and though Robinson uses the same methods to paint we are given a very different perspective of ‘landscape.’…

    The subject matter is a group portrait of four. The four figures in the painting are outdoors and they are dressed in traditional clothes that you would wear in the summertime. The outdoor setting shows a warm day and a light blue sky. The outdoor setting signifies warmth, beauty, and freedom. The four people jubilantly tumbling and jumping is a great sign of much needed joy. During the end of the depression with a hopeless time to black people this painting was a sign of hope.…

    The Island- by Armin Greder

    The page following the book’s title depicts a scene at sea. The whole image is washed with a dark blue from the sky to the ocean, and the crashing waves convey a menacing journey has taken place. At the bottom of the page, if one looks closely, it is evident that the bottom of the wooden raft has been drawn but blends into the rest of the image. This inclusion of the raft changes the perspective of the image as the responder is now been positioned as if they were looking out from the raft, the place of the Man. An immediate bond has now been formed between the responder and the man, and for the rest of the text we continue to sympathise with him.…

    Narrative Rough Draft

    I never used to write. In fact, I didn’t much like it. Little did I know that writing would become obsolete and a physiological requirement for the well being of my life. From an early age on all I did was read. I grew up in an isolated environment where books were my escape, and escape was necessary from the hardships of home. I remember being a young seven-year-old boy wearing a pillowcase around my neck fastened with a pen. I was eating animal crackers at the time, and my step dad was calling out for me. I stood up from my crouched position and raised my hand as I learned from pre-school, and said, “ I’m here daddy.” At that moment my step father grabbed me by the cape harshly compressing my trachea purposefully, shaking me back and forth with his hands around my neck as I began to choke on the appetizing cracker animal crumbs within the back of my throat. I didn’t understand at the time what was really going on. My mother came out of the room and my dad acted as if nothing happened and told me to…

    To Paint a Water Lily Analysis

    In “To Paint a Water Lily,” by Ted Hughes, the speaker examines the complex aspects of nature by revealing the challenges he faces as an artist in capturing its real meaning. When he looks at the scene, he sees an exciting little world of constant movement and activity, hidden by the peaceful stillness of the water lilies that float at the surface of the pond. Ted knows that to paint the water lily and do it righteousness requires more than a simple description of the plant itself—he must also somehow capture its environment; the busy life that surrounds it. The power with which the speaker describes this incredible task and the appreciation he feels for the outstanding convolution of nature is expressed through the use of tone, language, imagery, diction and figurative language.…

    Ancient Mediterranean Art

    All papers must include a description of the “object’s” formal elements (such as line, color, texture, spatial qualities, and composition) and medium and how they contribute to the function of the “object” and its effect on the viewer. To the extent possible and/or appropriate, consider subject matter, style, and the physical environment of the “object” (in the case of a work of art in the OI Museum, you will want to imagine the original physical environment of the object). A strong paper will incorporate comparisons from class into analyses and/or interpretations. Finally, the paper should include reference to five primary or secondary textual sources*. Three of these sources can be from class (i.e. from the non-textbook readings covered on our syllabus).…
