Dutch artist‚ Gerrit Dou‚ started painting “A Dentist by Candlelight” in 1660 and completed it in 1665. The medium of this art is oil on an oak panel. While the painting is small in size‚ the imagery is much larger. The painting itself measures just a little over fourteen inches by ten inches. The brush strokes are soft and airy‚ as if it was painted on silk. Most of the colors used are dark‚ except for the gold and yellow tones that are used to make the center of the image seem to glow. In fact

Easy Riders‚ Raging Bulls (Bowser‚ 2002‚ USA) is a documentary about Hollywood directors in the 1970s. This film might be a model for my Independent Study as it is told in a documentary fashion with clips and interviews intertwined in the film.

Around the times that Athens defeated the Persian Empire and was declared as the strongest Greek city‚ Classical art was at its peak (480-323 BC). Out of all the Greek cities‚ Athens was the city that was advanced in politics‚ economics‚ and culture. During the period of time that the Athenians were dominating Greece‚ the classical art style emerged.

Elizabeth Bishop’s “One Art” addresses the feelings one may have toward loss. The speaker begins with a declaration that “the art of losing isn’t hard to master” (1)‚ and repeats it several more times throughout the poem. She speaks in a casual and easy to understand tone‚ despite its perplexing verse form (known as the villanelle). The speaker starts with the loss of ordinary‚ everyday things and gradually moves to the bigger things‚ such as the loss of her significant other. While the speaker claims

Stanley Cohen (1973) suggests that the media depiction of anti-social behaviour helps to construct folk devils. Folk devils become the focus of public fears and anxieties. They are made to stand for wider problems and concerns and‚ in the process‚ become the figures who exemplify ‘what is wrong with society today’. Today’s folk devils might be the ‘yobs’‚ ‘hoodies’‚ ‘yobettes’ or ‘alco-yobs’ referred to in newspaper headlines. In Cohen’s original study they were the ‘mods’ and ‘rockers’‚ members

Art is powerful. It’s an expression of who we are‚ how we feel. It shapes society‚ causes relaxation‚ and stimulates our brain. The Red Canna by Georgia O’ Keeffe has done this and more to me‚ by inspiring me to make art‚ live a simpler life‚ and appreciate things with a deeper meaning. I was moved by the Red Canna because the colors are eminently vibrant and bold but also complementary at the same time. The different tones and shade are brought together harmoniously using different brushing techniques
