In this essay, a visual analysis of the difference and similarities between two Western art paintings and how the artists' use of composition, outline, mimetic, intrinsic and other elements of design bring about its visual effects. The paintings are a colorful representation what seem to be high ranking soldiers in uniform.…
The theme is the brutality of war. When the college friends were discussing about the war they’re about to take part in, Kropp said “Two years of shells and bombs a man won’t peel it off as easy as a sock” (Remarque 87). This shows the brutality of the war because it describes the effect the war puts on people is not easy to forget and for many, it’s permanent. As the friends were taking turns discussing war, Albert explained his view saying “The war has ruined us for everything” (Remarque 87). This shows brutality of war as well because it shows how broad the effect war is on people’s life. The theme of this book makes it a good book because its outcomes relates to the wars going on around the world right now. And it has important message/lesson on life in the front in the Great War, instead of just viewing the honor/patriotic part of the war it mainly focused on a very important part; fear and pressure. Thus the theme of this book is the brutality of war because of the characters description of the life at the front.…

Yelim and Soyeon went to Metropolitan Museum and we found diverse art works which are related to our theme “War”. There were a lot of art works that are related to the war and they are all different. There were winners and losers that fight in the battle and also the weather can express the victory of the war. Most of the paintings' weather were cloudy and rainy, also with fires. The reason why, the battle was cruel and horrible. All paintings and sculptures are about the battle and the authors portraits the soldiers who are rest after the war, or fight during the war. Most of the paintings weathers were cloudy that express the war and expression of soldiers were not happy enough. The sculptures are made with bronze and bronze can convey more emotion about war than any metals such as gold and silver.…

I believe the main theme of this piece is to show the devastation that can be caused by chaotic or tragic events and how they can affect more than just a few individuals. Picasso created this work to the German bombing of Guernica. He believes the world is beginning into a very violent stage and knew there would be great devastation. Picasso himself said that the meanings of his paintings are to be held within the viewer. Although Picasso had many…
The use of demonizing the enemy, along with the significance of the two skulls to show the cruel and unjust rule goes very well, and hand and hand with getting the public to hate the enemy. The colonization aspect depicted with the kingdoms is to me one of the strongest points made in this poster. The dispute and race to gain the most land has been the reason of countless wars throughout history of mankind. In a time of imperialism and colonization tensions were high among many counties. Germany at the time had colonized Africa, taken land from France, and extended east at the beginning of the war. The Great War had tremendous effects on the future of propaganda. It set a basis for many years to come on how propaganda would affect not only wars but many movements for the future to…
I will choose the event of women winning the right to vote in 1919. I think this event had the biggest impression on me because before this event happened, women were excluded from voting for the government. That meant that almost half of the population was excluded from voting. I think that was simply unacceptable that almost half of the population was excluded from voting just because they were a different gender. It also heavily skewed the votes in favor of men.…
Works of art have depicted many narratives of war. Most of these images describe the events of war but also in describing the war they also show the general attitudes. Attitudes of this have been changing as wars have advanced from the power of kingdoms to antiwar views. Many of these changes took place as artists started to gain creative freedom. Four images that express the depictions of war through time are an Ancient Greek Amphora dating back to 530 B.C., The Third of May 1808 by Francisco Goya, Guernica by Pablo Picasso and Famine Victim in a Feeding Center by James Nachtwey.…
In Yusef Komunyakaa’s “Facing It” and Wislawa Szymborska’s “End and Beginning” the poet’s writing is based around the central subject of war. The central theme of the poems is the emotional impact that the war brings out. Both poems differ in persona, yet set the same tone of sadness through their poetic language and poetic form. Both poems address the after effects of war however “Facing It” is more personal, whereas “End and Beginning” focuses on the experience in a broader omniscient way.…
My PowerPoint collage is about my understanding of how war is represented. It explores the idea of how I believe that war is a negative connotation in society. Throughout my PowerPoint I have used images that relate well to the 3 pieces of texts that I decided to represent; The Send Off, The Charge of the Light Brigade and Saving Private Ryan.…
The three painting I will discuss in this essay are Memories of a Civil War painted by Earnest Meissonier in 1849, Third of May 1808 painted by Francisco de Goya in 1814, and Liberty Leading the People painted by Eugene Delacroix in 1830. Even though all three painting are done in different styles the messages remain the same. All three paintings depict the brutalities of war.…
