Textual Analysis: The Chapel At Drake

270 Words2 Pages

Parker, these photos are very striking and I love the contrast of the two. From these photos I can see a religious theme developing and I think religion in the city or even mythology within the city would be cool to explore. I really appreciate the first photo and appeals to me aesthically, I 'm typically drawn to dark and suspenseful images and you definitely captured those aspects in this photo. The chapel at Drake is an “eerie” place and the lighting and composition of this photo really capture this. The stark brightness of the illumined table contrast with the dark background which forces my eyes to look at what’s going on. Furthermore, the shadows of the table help to create suspense and drama. The composition of the table in what feels and looks like an empty abyss makes me wonder what the function of this space is and what is happening/going to happen next. …show more content…

The warmth and richness of the colors makes the viewer feel at ease. The contrast of the warm reds/browns and crisp blue hues with the white marble focuses the viewers onto the statue. The angle of the photo helps the viewer to focus onto the apartment buildings in the background. The viewer does a double take and questions where this photo was taken when the foreground and background are viewed together. The mixture of east and west in a diverse neighborhood is really cool and can be used to make political comments fairly easily. Great job and I’m excited to see

The wide space between the man and woman has no major distractions within in, the artist could have filled that space with some interesting art, but chose not to because it would have drawn the viewers’ attention away from the woman and man. The authors choice of color is quite plain, but the bright colors that follow the sides of the viewing box help guide the viewers eyes to the man in the background, assisting the implied created by the railings. The author used value in the artwork to show what is important. The woman’s body is heavily shaded and doesn’t catch the viewer’s eye.

    The imagery used here creates a very calm and serene setting. The sky had a “half-moon” and was “riddled with stars”, while “crickets chirped” and the wind “wafted through the trees”. Amir also says that the ground was “cool under his bare feet” (240). All of these descriptions either appeal to the senses of sight, touch, or hearing, and these in turn create a vivid picture for the audience to think of.

  • Henri Matisse The Open Window Analysis

    This helps to create a close up look at the view outside the window suggesting the intimacy between the artist and the habitat outside. This is because the focus is almost wholly given to the view outside the window. The view, which is embellished by the presence of flowers sitting on the windowsill, and creepers climbing on the railing, is located in the center of the composition. Despite the lack of a line of symmetry and any logic or geometric order, Matisse has been able to draw the attention of the viewer’s eye through the use of bright colours, almost fluorescent, which were used to portray the calm sea with its floating blue boats, and the sky tinted with the colours of the sunset. The calm sea at the horizon is painted with unreal tones of pink, sky blue, and violet whereas the boat, painted with tones of indigo, orange and green, seem to move along with the light breeze.

    Truth and perspective can often be misleading. In "In a Grove," by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, several characters give their own testimonies regarding the murder of a samurai and the assault of his wife. However, these testimonies contradict each other in specific details. Although a perpetrator has been identified and captured, no conclusion regarding the true sequence of events that occurred can be found due to the confusing nature of the situation. The conflicting accounts of the events leading to the samurai 's tragic end create an ambiguous tale in which different viewpoints and opinions regarding the scenario are explained.
