For me, both women are tragic heroines because Claire ended her life by sudden death, and Irene destroyed her family life by introducing ...

The “Spirit of the Place” gives meaning or essence to a particular place or creation (Graves and Poraj-Wilczynska, 2009). The spirit of the place pertains to the intangible elements of the creation that adds meaning to its tangible elements. Being intangible, the spirit of the place may be interpreted differently by different individuals; hence, a single work of art may instigate different feelings or essences depending on the persons looking at it. In other words, while the tangible elements of the place or object remain unchangeable through time, the interpretation or the feeling derived from it does change, because people change ( ...

I have studied in college for a couple of years so far and as the time passes – more and more I start to realize that education is the key in being successful In the future. Without higher education – It will be very difficult to get a well-paid job, job that you would like, and eventually “find your place under the sun”. I am really glad that my parents brought me up this way and in fact, they convinced me to study in college.

Society is a system of social interaction where the members belong to a common culture, although it may have diversity within it. The cultural identity of the people of the community reflects the heritage and ethnicity of that race. Michael Miller discusses the issue of capitalism and culture in his lecture. However, in the phase of Late Capitalism, with the effect of globalization, the cultural diversities of different communities are on the wane with the rise of a universal culture that aims to commercialize every aspect of art to fetch monetary benefits for the bourgeoisie. Consumer culture becomes the normative under the ...

Artist: Florence vs. the Machine

1. I really like how the music makes you feel exactly what the artist and the lyrics are trying to convey. There is a sense of liberation as she “shakes the devil off her back”, but there is also a sense of urgency and desperation. The quick tempo joins the emotions perfectly. I especially like the line, “I’m ready to suffer, and I’m ready to hope” It really underscores the mixed feelings the artist is trying to convey.
2. I think we have all had one time or another when we had the same feeling that is being ...

Currently dramaturgy is a thing of the modern theaters. Regardless of whether they do it knowingly or not, dramaturgy is inevitable in modern theaters. It entails the desire to explore and unlock secrets that are within the scripts. For script to show what the production is all about, the director must fully understand it. Dramaturgy entails understanding the plays and the whole context of the plays. It is seen as the tool that bridges the gateway between the play and the human experience. It helps in adding value and bringing stages to life. Dramaturgy is involved with the music, language ...

Art – it is something we take for granted quite often. How many times do we go to a museum? Do we look with dislike at wall murals done on the sides of three-story buildings that are located downtown? What about poetry: how many people actually read and appreciate it anymore?

Recently I attended the pre-Basel Brickell Art Walk and Stone Groove night, both of which awakened a new appreciation in me for the various different art forms that are still alive and well today.

Ever since the 1920s and 1930s, the allure and absorption with the metropolitan life and the images related to it has resulted in an increased interest in the artistic rendition of urban images in various forms (Alifragkis and Penz 221).

The purpose of urban photography can be said to create visual appeal that summarizes the dynamics of modernity in an open ...

According to Hartt and Wilkins (2010), the name Giotto di Bondone became synonymous to the Early Renaissance period. Most of the details of Giotto’s birth and death is speculated by experts due to the lack of public records and statements about the artist. In some recounts, the Italian artist is said to be from Colle di Romagnano in the northern region of Florence. Records in 1267 noted that his father is called “Bondone”, a man with high standing in Florence. While records have no clear idea as to where Giotto was born, a hamlet in the northern region of Florence ...

The Bone Yard

Unlike the classic art, which was full of expressive and definite beauty and meaning, contemporary art is sometimes difficult for understanding. Artist’s idea might be hidden so deeply within avangardist images that it might be even impossible to follow painter’s idea. Julie Heffernan is definitely not such kind of artist. She is one of those very few painters who manage to unite the classic images of beauty with the symbolism of modernity. Julie Heffernan is famous for her series of paintings, in which refinement and idealism of baroque is combined with symbolism of contemporary reality. Another characteristic ...

On a vast ocean of artistry, Francesca Woodman’s photography stood out on San Francisco Museum of Modern Art despite of its ambiguity. Beauty is an understatement. It catches the eyes of people for its mysterious approach, as if whispering some secrets. But looking at her works, exhibiting nudity on a room with faded wallpapers, is quite uneasy. Because those images reaches the soul of the viewers, making everyone feel the wonders of feminism; the essence of femininity on its first bloom. Like a white butterfly taking its first flight on the world of grey.

In this way, he was able to create typical, bold contemporary architectural work, which consists of embassies, apartments, offices and houses.
