Analysis of the Showtime Series Shameless Over the decades, there have been a lot of television shows that attempted to reveal the inner workings of American working-class families.

As such, this painting can surely be reckoned to be extremely worthy of being included in the text book as it would help the readers get a very good idea about the iconic features of impressionism as a form of art. It is truly commendable how the artist has used thin washes in the free-flowing brushstrokes for catapulting the details of the work.

It is a generally well-accepted reality that Miami is a multicultural city. This place has always been not dominated by White Caucasian Americans, but also of Latinos, Mexicans, and in more recent decades, of Middle Eastern, Slavic and Asian cultures as well.

This paper considers the ecological relationships among organisms in two paintings. While the obvious, mutualistic situations jump out immediately, consideration is given to the potential for other symbiotic types of co-existence. The possibilities are endless. This is not so much because of what is in the paintings, but because of what is missing. What is most amazing about the presence of living things on Earth is the way they depend on and impact one another. If it were possible to use a string to connect living things to one another (based on how they directly or indirectly affect one ...

The art of calligraphy can be traced back in time, when technology did not provide people with the modern conveniences people of the 21st century enjoy. Calligraphy was considered a means of giving things -and life itself- a meaning because “sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.” (Qian 36) From the first picture-like calligraphy works found about 4,000 years ago (Lu and Aiken 25) to the so-called Modern Calligraphy of the 1980s and 1990s (Zhuzhong and Desheng 109), a lot has changed.

These paintings are being compared and analyzed together because they show the standard of what constitute art at that period.

Oftentimes this composition is seen as dramatic and in monumental composition. However, at the time when Gentileschi is doing the said painting, he is beginning to develop his own style, away from Caravaggio’s approach. In this work, the painting still shows the lyrical gestures and the sense of involvement with the scene although the figures are ...

Critical thinking – Pink Summer

‘Pink Summer’ by Philip Guston is quite a great painting although at times it does seem to have lost its focus.

The immediate impression one gets is that Guston wants to convey a sense of disorder and comic portrayal; you can immediately observe the brush alongside other objects such as the ruler and the sandwich which may seem to be slightly out of place. Philip Guston painted “Pink Summer” in 1975, which consist ...
