On the same hand poetry which is defined as a medium which can make connections in this dynamic world of possibilities through writing.

Andrei Rublev's Russian Calvary scene exemplifies this concept, thanks in large part to its divergence from the painting to which it alludes. The very first shot of the sequence shows the Christ figure kneeling to drink from a stream, there is a cross visible on the ground behind him. The camera tilts up, as the procession passes, leaving the christ figure behind. For the duration of the procession, this figure remains apart from his followers, who, in turn, proceed solemnly behind him, scarcely interacting with one another, oblivious or perhaps indifferent to their fellow participants. Just before the crucifixion, the woman portraying Mary Magdalene throws herself in agony at the feet of the Christ figure, who walks away from her, unresponsive. The accompanying voice-over, Rublev's refutation of Theophane's cynical views of humankind and ruminations on Christ's crucifixion, loosely correspond with the action transpiring onscreen. Overall, a deep sense of the intrinsic and inescapable solitude of human existence characterizes the scene, and, indeed, the film as a …show more content…
From its inception in the early days of the Italian Renaissance through the advent of the avant-garde, Western artists upheld the principles of linear perspective as the gold standard method to achieve the illusion of three-dimensional pictorial depth. That is, linear perspective enabled the artist to fabricate real space within the two- dimensional confines of the picture plane. This effect depends on the presence of a point or points (the vanishing-point(s)) within or contiguous to the picture plane where all “parallel” lines appear to
“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can convey emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.” The written word and the moving image have always had their entwining roots deeply entrenched in similar narrative codes, both functioning at the level of implication, connotation and referentiality. But ever since the advent of cinema, they have been pitted against each other over formal and cultural peculiarities – hence engaging in a relationship deemed “overtly compatible, secretly hostile” (Bluestone 2).
Egley was able to utilize depth in order to render a work that appeared smaller as the observer’s eye moved from the foreground to background. The lines in this painting point toward one single point system as Egley created a perspective work of art by scaling the figures. Even the colors help guides the eye
In “The Trouble with Poetry” the speaker touches on the same idea of how poetry is so forced, and how it has lost its meaning as an expression and has become more of an addiction among
Poetry is a very unique type of writing. Poetry allows people to express their emotions in a way they feel comfortable. Every poem has a meaning to it, whether it is talking about food, interest, or a moment in their lives. Readers often mistake the poet as the narrator, although in many cases this is true. Many poets are the narrators and the poems are about their personal life.

Films are a great way of communicating a message to the viewers. One of the most controversial topics conveyed is politics and for this reason, Mr Smith Goes to Washington is a movie that explores the American political system through the life of Senator Jefferson Smith a newly elected politician.

Renaissance artist used this concept to create famous pieces of art. Linear perspective also impacted architecture drawings. It helped provide a new way of showing and thinking about space. In the year 1421, Filippo Brunelleschi was commissioned by the Medici family to design a building for them.

In “Aesthetic of Astonishment” essay, Gunning argues how people first saw cinema, and how they are amazed with the moving picture for the first time, and were not only amazed by the technological aspect, but also the experience of how the introduction of movies have changed the way people perceive the reality in a completely different way. Gunning states that “The astonishment derives from a magical metamorphosis rather than a seamless reproduction of reality”(118). He uses the myth of how the sacred audience run out the theater in terror when they first saw the Lumiere Brother Arrival of the train. However, Gunning does not really care how hysterical their reaction is, even saying that he have doubts on what actually happened that day, as for him it the significance lied on the incidence--that is, the triggering of the audience’s reaction and its subsequence results, and not the actual reactions and their extent. It is this incident, due to the confusion of the audience’s cognition caused by new technology, that serves as a significant milestone in film history which triggered in the industry and the fascination with film, which to this day allows cinema to manipulate and
Over the past century, film has served as a powerful means of communication to a global audience and has become a vital part of the contemporary culture in a world that is increasingly saturated by visual content. Due to the immediacy and the all-encompassing nature of film, the process of watching a film, is widely perceived to be a passive activity by the general masses. However, quoting Smith in his article about the study of film, “nothing could be further from the truth.” The study and understanding of film as an art form enhances the way we watch and appreciate films. It requires the audience's active participation and interaction with the film in order to fully comprehend the directors' intention behind every creative decision.
Film takes photography to another level. Film, or the cinema “is objectivity in time.” For the first time with film “the image of things is likewise the image of their duration, change mummified as it were”. Bazin argues "only the impassive lens, stripping its object of all those ways of seeing it, those piled- up preconceptions, that spiritual dust and grime with which my eyes have covered it, are able to present it in all its virginal purity to my attention and consequently to my love.
Written poetry is seen as more universal than personal as the reader, instead of the
Poetry is a piece of literature where the author shares his ideas of a subject or person. He is attempting to allow the reader an understanding of his feelings regarding this subject. Most of the time poetry can be very pleasing to the ear; however, at times it can be written in a manner that is odd. Some poetry is written in a way that the reader can “hear”, “feel”, “see” or “taste” elements in the poem. Some poems may rhyme while others may not need to in order to convey the message.
Baz Luhrmann is widely acknowledged for his Red Curtain Trilogy which are films aimed at heightening an artificial nature and for engaging the audience. Through an examination of the films Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby, the evolution and adaptation of his techniques become evident. Luhrmann’s belief in a ‘theatrical cinema’ can be observed to varying degrees through the three films and his choice to employ cinematic techniques such as self-reflexivity, pastiche and hyperbolic hyperbole. The cinematic technique of self-reflexivity allows a film to draw attention to itself as ‘not about naturalism’ and asks the audience to suspend their disbelief and believe in the fictional construct of the film.
During the Renaissance Italian artist's developed the linear perspective, which was a system that allowed artist to represent three dimensions on two dimensional surfaces. This technique was constructed through finding a horizon and extending all lines from the vanishing point. Before the Renaissance paintings and pieces were heavily influenced through religious systems and practices, and there truly wasn’t much to offer as far as extension went, so the most we saw in a background were a gold plate. However, as we enter the Renaissance perspectives begin to grow in nearly every aspect of life including how we make and see art. It only made sense for this practice to become a common usage in art.
