Animated Landscape, Joan Miró (Spanish, Barcelona 1893–1983 Palma de Mallorca), Oil on canvas

Animated Landscape 1927 Joan Miró

The Landscape painting was painted with oil on a canvas. This painting was painted by a Spanish man named, Joan Miró in 1927. Through the sensa on this painting, I think the light shines through from the yellow. I think it draws out the from the brown in the painting and makes the eye float from the brown to the green and blue above. The dragon-like creature in the corner also caught my eye because of the red. The way that the sensa is broken up in this picture really stood out to me because of the yellow and the red that is very vivid against the brown, blue, and green. The block of blue and green reminds me of grass and a lake. The texture on the brown part reminds me of dirt. The brown part is a hole of some sort and the yellow is from the light outside. The texture in the green makes me think this painting was meant to be some sort of outside landscape keyhole perspective. In this painting, I feel trapped. I feel like it's meant to feel closed up and only seeing what you can from a closed-up place. The yellow in the hole is supposed to bring happiness but I see it as something I can not get to like it is just a piece of sunlight I can't enjoy. The red dragon on the corner stands as the guard. Like if something were to come out of this, hole the dragon would be there to push whatever it is back in. The painting is very straight forward. It is not too overwhelming but it has some interesting details. It seems very define like there is a story behind it, but people can also tell it is just a painting. What drew me to this painting was perspective, I felt like all of the other painting was just from multiple different directions. This painting can only really be understood at one point, unlike the others. Another thing that caught my eye was the detailed little dragon in the corner. Just having a bright pop of red with the detail I thought was very different and unique.

Drive to the Beach : Plotting

Image
 https://www.hdwallpapers.in/cool_beach-wallpapers.html The drive to Fort Myers Beach is an episode that I have every weekend if we do not have practice or games. The drive is an experience itself to go along with the adventures we end up having at the beach.  I gather up my willing teammates on our days off and ask them if they want to go to the beach. Most of them turn down this offer but a few think it's a good idea and come along. We pack up our beach essentials which include a chair, a cooler, sunblock, and a speaker of course! We load up the Jeep and off we go fifteen minutes down the road. The beach is about five miles from the dorms, where we live, so it is nice to be a driving distance away from the beach. Right before you approach the bridge we hit traffic. What is Florida without traffic, it would not be Florida. A quick green light flips to red and I slam on my breaks. I hear laughs from my teammates and I look over and she dumped her water bottle all in the floorboard

Not seen on TV

Image
  For this assignment, I chose the three transitions by Peter Campus. This video art has very detailed ways of transitioning in videos. What is going on in this video is he has these different images of himself and slowly begins to destroy each one into another image of himself. In the first transition, his back is facing the camera but you see a tear almost like paper and then the hand is seen. This hand is his hand and he is slowly coming through his back. At first, I thought it was just like a huge picture of this guy but he began to move while the hand way tearing his like a piece of paper. As the guy is ripping through, the other guy is going through the other side, as if he was going through the rip the guy had made. In the second transition, the man is wiping on some type of green screen cream that is creating a different image that appears underneath him. In the last transition, the man has a mirror or possibly a photo of himself and lights it on fire. I believe it is supposed

Hamlet: Act 1- Scene 5

Image
 I chose to analyze act 1, scene 5 in the famous play 'Hamlet.' In this part of the play, Hamlet has a word with his ghostly father figure. In this conversation, the ghost told him that his father died because his brother had poisoned him through his ear while he was napping. Of course, Hamlet is pretty surprised and upset because his mother had re-married, in less than a month of her husband being dead, to his brother Claudias. This ghost had also put in Hamlet's knowledge that Claudius and his mother were together before the King passed away. A request from the fatherly ghost is that Hamlet punishes this father's murder by killing him. In my opinion, Hamlet has every right to be upset and full of anger with his mother and his new step-father because of the two incidents. But do I think that it should lead to murder? No, because you just fighting fire with fire. I think Hamlet should have fought him and then forgave him because that is how guys work. Do I think what Cl
