Joseph Mallord William Turner’s art piece named “Snow Storm: Steamboat off a Harbor’s Mouth” is a very original landscape with a limited amount of bright colors. The landscape shows a ship that appears to be surrounded by a very dark storm. The color scheme the painter used was for the most part neutral,dark, pale colors that gave the art piece an additional darker tone, however he also decided to add an intense white color in the middle, where the ship happened to be located. The bright white color ties in with the part of the art piece Turner wanted the viewer to focus on, in other words where he wanted to create emphasis. The storm has different shades of dark colors with a tint of a pale white color while the ship appears to be a bright
When Nick describes the Buchanan’s home he uses white a lot. In literature, white are often used for goodness and relaxing. And the purpose of the language he uses are all for creating the type of atmosphere. Nick describes parts of the room with white multiple times in the passage. “The windows were ajar and gleaming white,” Nick describes and he also mentions “the frosted wedding cake ceiling”. The appearance of the color white gives the scene a feeling of elegance and also a majestic quality. Nick also emphasizes the existence of
The color white is associated with purity and innocence. Gatsby and Nick, the main male characters in the story, can be affiliated with this
If an artist were to paint a picture depicting the poem “Oregon Winter” by Jeanne McGahey the colors that would predominate are gray and brown. Some of the visual details are the gray farmhouses with gray smoke coming from the chimneys. There would be soaked green hills in the background and brown “blotches of wet on the dusty road” leading up to the houses and barns. Visible from the windows of the barns are lofts piled high with wet yellow straws. The picture would also capture the sagging plumages of the wild geese flying in the sky next to the bloated gray clouds bursting with rain. Finally, there would be farmers conducting their chores, getting drenched in the slow, heavy rain of winter. It is dreary, and no one is in a rush.
The third painting from the Impressionist era is that of artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, 1775–1851). Turner’s “The Lake of Zug”, 1843 is a beautiful portrait painted in watercolor over graphite that were sketched based from Turner’s trip to the Swiss Alps. The color contrast is beautiful, the sight of the sun setting behind the mountains signifying the end of one day and the encouragement of another. The sun shines on the lake, with basking glows that illuminate the people and the surrounding mountings. This portrait fits the company image, because it shows that there is a beacon of light that still shines and brighten things around them. The
I chose to study and analyze J.M.W. Turner’s Slave Ship for this project and found it to be very interesting. Immediately while looking at the piece you get a strong sense of emotion and drama that is being portrayed. There is a lot of depth and warmth in the colors that are used and wide swift brush strokes to create the images. The first image that caught my eye was of waves crashing on the left side of the painting. The white tips of the waves are very noticeable against the softer shades of the ocean. Behind the waves is a ship which is the next part of the painting that drew my attention. The ship seems to be caught in the rough waves of the sea and barely able to keep afloat. There is a glimmer of light from the sun peeking through
Why would anyone propose to use millions of gallons of water a day to desecrate sacred Indian land, in a State that is going through a drought? Well, the Arizona SnowBowl has proposed to do just that; make artificial snow on their ski resort. The proposal is for their own economical benefit with no respect for the holy San Francisco Peaks, where the Ski resort is located.
The story “A Blizzard under blue sky” by Pam Houston is about a woman who is not happy and very depressed. She makes a decision to go out into the wilderness. The woman believes that this adventure is the best cure for her even if it means death. She refuses to take any drugs that her doctor tries to prescribe her. She suffers from depression. Her friend Alex is very concerned about his friend and wonders why she would go out knowing that a bad snow storm is headed that way. So he offers her something that she can stay warm with, he offers her a heavy sleeping bag that is thickly layered for the coldest of winter days for her
The subject matter of Rain, Steam and Speed is the Maidenhead railway crossing of the Thames. A golden brown landscape punctuated by the river to the left takes up the bottom portion of the painting. The top half is tinged by a blue sky that is marked by swirls of gold and white,
The background of the picture is dark. The artist paints the trees using dark colors and jagged lines to show how scary the moment was for the slaves. The slaves are walking through water that is also dark and filled with rocks and sharp sticks. The background gives the painting the emotion that bad things were happening at this time.
When one looks at the painting White light, an array of colors spring off the canvas and permeate one’s senses. The primary and intense color of red is softened by the primary colors of yellow and blue. While the tertiary color of green subtly takes its place among the hues to give some balance. The perceivable tones of black and white add value and seem to give some
The poem of Washington crossing the Delaware describes how horrible the weather conditions were during their voyage. The painting also shows the weather conditions with the huge storm cloud behind the crew. One can also see the large chunks of jagged ice that surrounds the boat while the crew struggles to row (Leutze). The poem also talks about how ragged the crew looks from rowing through the storm. One can see in the painting how the crew are huddling together to shelter themselves from the wind and cold, while some are even wearing bloody bandages.
I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.
There are many values within this print, but only constitute a handful of colors: Blue, brown, black, white, and gray. Blue is the main color within this print, there are many values of the color blue used. The deepest part of the waves are the darkest blue, while the parts of the waves closest to the surface are lightest blue or white. The sky has a gradient, which is going from the lightest color to the darkest color or vice versa; the sky is creating a gradient, from the bottom up, of black to a very light gray, then to a white-yellow. The colors chosen by Hokusai can also interpret feelings and emotions. The habitual feeling when seeing the color blue is sadness. Sadness and despair would be fitting emotions for this work, due to the giant wave about to crash upon the men in their boats. Blue can also emit a feeling of elegance. The composition of the print and how the lines of the wave flow can be considered a form of elegance.
On a snowy and windy night, I was at Barnes & Noble in Green Bay with my friends, Alan and Karina. Christmas music played overhead, the smell of hot chocolate and freshly brewed coffee wafted over, the customers were kind and cheerful, and snow was beginning to blanket the parking lot outside. We were sitting near the cafe wrapping books to support their mom’s school fundraiser. I stared outside and remembered my mom’s warning of the large snowfall that was almost upon us. Around 7:15, the snowflakes were becoming larger and we could barely see outside the window.
In one of the scenes of Charlie and the Chocolate factory it’s almost completely black and in the next scene it’s bright white. He uses this to symbolize what the character is going through mentally like with the flashbacks of Willy in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. In Alice in Wonderland he used it to symbolize again what the character is going through or has gone through like in the scene when Hatter was still working for the White Queen of the village being burned down and the lighting was very dark then. The fight scene with Alice and the White and Red queen’s armies were the same with the lighting going from very bright to dark and
