Tom Price – PP Trees
Tom Price is a British designer who draws on his training in both sculpture and design to create beautiful pieces of furniture and installation pieces such as PP Trees (2011). (Price, www.tom-price.com, Unknown)

Figure 1: PP Trees …show more content…
(Indaba, 2011) The trees are large and fill the entire space creating a fairy-tale like world in a dilapidated small room. The plastic creation does not give a realistic interpretation of what a cherry blossom grove may look like but rather evoke the feeling of being there amidst the beauty. The piece reminds me of a stage set, you can almost imagine some of the fairies from A Midsummers Night Dream frolicking around amongst the plastic tubing. The ambience of what could be perceived as a decaying room with crumbling walls and cracked concrete flooring room changes with the billowing and bending trunks and canopying blossoms that leave beautiful dappled shadows on the …show more content…

    “Music in the Tuileries” by Édouard Manet (1862)

    When creating “Music in the Tuileries,” Manet appears to have used oil on canvas. This piece ofwork displays a tremendous amount of visual unity through the breaking of the trees, letting the sky in on the group of people on the ground. This break helps to “break” the painting up into two distinct parts, allowing the viewer the ability to appreciate the entire piece of art. Furthermore, this centralized break creates a symmetric balance. The tree trunk in the center (the gray one) was placed in the center where it catches the viewer’s attention. From this perspective, attention is drawn to the forefront of the painting, thereby giving definite suggestions as to the purpose of the painting.…

    The Chinese Vase

    The Chinese Vase is a representative of trends in porcelain decoration during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, the second ruler of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The two scenes in this vase represent an interesting visual riff on the narrative technique (prof Besio). Both the top and the bottom scenes can be divided into 3 sections, with top and bottom paralleling each other: trees growing in a garden; human figures in a garden; and, contiguous and open to the garden, an interior of a scholar’s study. In both the top and bottom sections a stone path leads to two gnarled trees intertwined against a background of a rock formation. In all three parallel sections, the bottom setting is similar to, but more elaborate than, the one above. Perhaps…

    Vincent Van Gogh

    Van Gogh is my favorite artist from the Post-Impressionism era. I believe he used painting as an outlet to express his emotions, turmoil and inner demons. In the last couple of years of his life van Gogh was inspired be Japanese woodblocks and almond trees. Van Gogh was very close to his younger Theo and they kept in touch with each other through correspondence via postal service. In January in 1890, Theo had a son named him Vincent Williem. The Almond Blossom was a gift to Theo for celebrating the birth of his newborn son. The details of the branches and blossom buds are enhanced by the teal colored background. When I first looked at the painting my eye is drawn from the bottom where the tree is outlined from…

    The Flowering Orchard by Vincent Van Gogh

    Basic Drawing I May, 2014 The Flowering Orchard by Vincent Van Gogh Vincent van Gogh was a unique artist who worked with a sense of urgency which often caused him a great deal of stress. He was famed for his bold, dramatic brush strokes which expressed emotion and added a feeling of movement to his works. Its thought that he often used paint straight from the tube (impasto) and in the 70 days leading up to his death, he averaged one painting per day. Van Gogh is generally regarded as the greatest Dutch painter since Rembrandt despite the fact that he did not become famous until after his death. His influence on Expressionism, Fauvism and early abstraction, was remarkable and some of his paintings rank among the most expensive ever sold at auction. This essay will discuss a descriptive analysis, interpretation of his work, and his history briefly. Vincent van Gogh painted The Flowering Orchard in 1888. Well aware that time was short to paint the trees in flower van Gogh worked with a sense of urgency when creating this painting. Van Gogh wanted to capture the natural spectacle of the petals sparkling in the clear spring sun. The tones he chose were luminous and light, shades of pink, aqua, and green that marked a change from the rich, jewel-toned palette he developed in Paris. His immersion in plein air painting restored his sense of vitality, as well as his sense of purpose. This work is part of a series of orchards in bloom that Van Gogh worked on in Arles, and that he described in a letter to his brother Theo (published in The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh, 3 vols., Greenwich, Conn., 1958, vol. 2, pp. 54546, letter no. 477), illustrating his plans with a sketch of a vertical fruit tree flanked on either side by a horizontal orchard. The artist originally contemplated nine canvases, in sets of three, to be followed the next spring by a similar series of larger paintings. In such a scheme, this work, a vertical one, would have been one of the central…

    Corporate communication derives its roots a lot from the field of public relations. The definition for public relations practitioner is “serves as an intermediary between the organization that he or she represents and all of that organization’s publics” (Newson, VanSlyke Turk and,Kruckeberg. (© 2010, p.2). Corporate communication is the process a company communicates between the corporate organization and its publics, both internally and externally. Better defined as “Corporate communication is a management function or department, like marketing, finance, or operations, dedicated to the dissemination of information to key constituencies, the execution of corporate strategy and the development of messages for a variety of purposes for inside and outside the organisation.” (© The Financial Times Ltd 2012).

    An Analysis of My Fair Lady

    Last month I saw a wonderful production of the musical “My Fair Lady” at Jesse Hall as a part of the University of Missouri Concert Series in Columbia. Big League Productions, Inc. is the touring theatre company who put on the show. They brought their own set, which consisted of a study in which most of the scenes took place, as well as the street entrance to the home of Prof. Higgins. There was also an elaborate backdrop used for the scenes that take place in London’s Convent Garden. Prof. Higgins’ study was by far the most elaborate set. There was a staircase element as well as a balcony that was done in a beautiful Edwardian style, all blond painted woodwork with burgundy panels and burgundy carpet and upholstery. The walls were painted with a trompe l'oeil technique to match the actual wooden elements, and they also provided the illusion of floor to ceiling bookcases. The effect was beautiful to look at.…

    A Christmas celebration

    The house is gaily decorated. Outside, over the doors green leaves are entwined. Traditionally the evergreen leaf is used : holly, fir and pine but these cannot be found in Malaysia. Inside, too, all is very gay and bright. Red paper 'chains' or garlands are festooned the electric fans which would cut them down. Colorful vases of flowers and little bowls of fruit and nuts are placed on every table. In the far corner of the room is a Christmas tree, the idea of which originally came from Germany. This tree, standing in a bright red tub, is a local fir and it is decorated with silver tinsel, miniature crackers, glass balls of many different colors and little pieces of cotton wool tied on to represent the snow found in the cold countries in winter. On the top, looking down on the tree with its myriads of tiny fairy lights is a Christmas star -- shining and silvery as the star in Bethlehem shone once so long ago. Around the red tub at the bottom are many parcels tied up with bright Christmas wrapping papers and cheerful silver strings. A festoon of gaily colored balloons hang from the lights and in a far corner is a piece of mistletoe, artificially made.…
