ReplyDeleteThese pictures are more then thousand years old. These pictures you can see the main figures. In ancient Egyptian fresco, it is an Egyptian god Anubis. In Dun Huang fresco, it is an Ashura. However, I am not interesting about these main figures because these backgrounds are more appeal me.
ReplyDeleteIn ancient Egyptian fresco, I can see a lot of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Maybe archaeologist knows how to read, but I don’t know. I will guess it is a message to tell about if people pass away they will go where.
As for Dun Huang fresco, it never use the same way for background. Actually, Ashura is a wicked god. Therefore, you can see some of small Ashura around the main Ashura. Under the Ashura there some gods and they are hold the musical instruments.
Both pictures, I like ancient Egyptian fresco because I can see what happened right now, even thought I don’t understand Egyptian langue. As for Dun Huang fresco, I like some of pictures about Buddha, Bodhisattva or some painting about Buddhist scripture because these pictures are not look complicated.
the first image shows children crying in a war zone while followed by armed soldiers in a dark environment. the second image in contrast shows a little girl smiling and playing in an enlighted but destroyed city after the haiti disaster.
ReplyDeletethe only similarity of the two images is the destroyed environment that appeals to the viewer compassion for all children in similar conditions.
I beleive that these pictures are examples of artistic work because the meassage sent is more powerful and affect the viewer more than words. they send a strong message which is a call for help for children in difficult conditions.they appeal to the viewer compassion, anger and pity.
it is amazing how two pictures taken in two different conditions, displaying different images can send the same message.
After I made a few additions, this picture moved me. Malcolm X in the heart of Muhammad Ali showing strength in his convictions as a Muslim. Sojourner Truth over the shoulder of Rosa Parks showing her unmovable determination. The slave poster being shot at by the Buffalo Soldier shows a farewell for the days when we were hunted. The black powers salute at the 1968 Olympics (Tommy Smith & John Carlos) beneath the lifted knee of the runner, demonstrates the truth, we were second class citizens. The point to this is the struggle for equality has not discontinued. Though we as a people have come a long way, we still have a long way to go.

ReplyDeleteThe first picture is an image of a present. The second one is an image of the mother and baby. I think this is a visual rhetoric because the baby looks like a present which God gives this woman. She takes care that valuable gift with full love or we also say the love between the mom and children is a wonderful present which God gives human.

ReplyDeleteAs we know, one of the application of art is advertisement. I found this picture comparing Microsoft and Apple products. It really appeals to me as a visual rhetoric in the sense that the Microsoft product represented by a technician that seems exhausted of fixing a crappy vehicle is next to the Apple product represented by a gentleman that seems to have peace of mind. This would make anybody who sees the picture to think of Apple as a reliable brand in electronics devices.

ReplyDeleteI believe this picture speaks for itself, which is what I think this visual rhetoric is all about. It shows the grimm reaper with a baby doll in hand and the word abortion written across the chest of the individual.

This picture really shows how America is viewed around the world I believe. We know how much our flag means to us and when you put these logos in place of the stars it is almost offensive in seeing this, especially when you believe in the flag. The sad thing is that it's not completely incorrect.
In my selection I chose a black repensation of Jesus which raised to me a very interesting question to me. Why do we accept that Jesus was white?
ReplyDeletewhen we look at the reagon where Jesus was born we see something interesting, the people there were not white at all! as a matter of a fact the children are Egyptions,the males in black suits are Isralites at the wailing wall in Jerusalem. Interesting eneugh both look strikinging simular in faceial features and complexion, which brings up again the age old question. how could some one with Jewish linage be born with blond, or sandy hair and blue eyes have blended in in Egypt or Israel for that matter?
Even the Bible states that there was nothing special about him, he didnt stand out in any way, which is to say he blended in not only in the culture but the country, to the point where no one knew who he was or were he was from. Which was the same case with Moses who passed for Egyption though his parents were Isralite. so we have a historical fupax here the facts and the depliction do not match.
However when we look at the black depliction of Jesus we see a person that would fit in way better than the accepted deplictions we have. though he would have been darker, his presence would not have bought much speculation, seeing as where Egypt is in africa. with Israel being so close again a dark skinned man would not have been noticed, however he would have not looked this way either (the black depliction) because this would have ment that Mary,the woman who birthed Jesus would have had relations of a sexual nature with a African, thus making Jesus a natural creation and not a supernatural one, thus taking away Gods intervention and Mary's status as a virgin. either way the way we view Jesus is open to debate, however should we not have the debate or his depliction closer to reality, and not based on how we "think" he should look?

ReplyDeleteMy first picture ( we can do it) which is related to Rosie the Riveter, a cultural icon of U.S which represented the american women who took jobs in factories while the men were out in the war (World War II).
ReplyDeleteThe second picture was quite different from the first because its actually fighting for something ( animal rights).

ReplyDeleteThis is an ad for FedEx emphasizing on their reliability. You can see a FedEx box linking two people that are holding a vase.
In my opinion, it suggests how trustworthy and fast they are in their delivery. And that is what people want.

ReplyDeleteThis image successfully associates the the car being advertised with: flexibility, natural, light (as in weight), organic (the structure of the vehicle is living), whimsical, youthful, healthful (strength, stamina) and fun. There is a little boy at the center; being surrounded by the protection of the human car. He is wearing a scuba mask. There is a surf board on the top of the vehical that says "We are going to the beach!" The actor, model, dancer's are wearing bathing suits, which add to the beach theme, and create a mental location where it is permissible for the Models to show the viewer their physique's while maintaining wholesomeness.

ReplyDeleteThe picture is of submarine port holes, this automatically gives an impression of exploration. Also, the navigation on the right gives the idea that you can control the depth and direction. This picture was a mark of the 183th anniversary of sci-fi pioneers' birth, Jules Verne, known for his book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870).

ReplyDeleteI used a Van Gogh picture of an empty bedroom. The painting is Titled: Vincent's Bedroom in Arles. It was redone with a commercial tone of the TV animated comedy called the Simpson's. It really took the quality of the painting with the commercialism of the painting. The differences are as followed:
Original Painting: Quiet bedroom with single bed / Pictures above side of bed looks likes man and woman but not clear / Pictures on back wall cannot be identified / Colors of painting are not to bright / Room seems quiet and private / Room is simple
Simpson's addition: Bart in painting with skateboard / Pictures above side of bed have father /Homer and sister Lisa / Pictures are of mother marge and sister Maggie / Colors are brighter to catch to viewers attention / Room seems more lived in and more life / Room is now a commercial and updated to include a modern TV show
Overall it took a good painting and took away its beauty.
This art shows two hands clasped togeher in the shape of a circle. The paint on the hands gives the indication that it is "the world". The influence this art has states that all people are responsible for taking care of the world we share. Together we can either destroy what we have or care for it diligently. The arms of the individual clearly shows a difference of nationality..meaning that no one race is greater than the other when it comes to the world we have to share and that we should no only appreciate what was been given to us...we should also appreciate all those who are here to share it with us. This image is designed to convince all that we are of the same regardless of the obvious differences. We all need the EARTH for life.**Jennifer Abbott-Pope
