...Gallery Critique On October 30, 2013, I went to UWL gallery to see amazing works of art. I had a deep impression on a picture named No One Will Ever Know that is made by Izel Vargas. 1. Firstly, I would like to discuss the use of color in this picture. Wearing a dark green T-shirt, with two broken and bloody arms, holding a dark black gun, a policeman whose head is an arguing man and woman is in the picture. The hues of this artwork are red, green, orange and yellow, and each hue has a value. The artist uses a dark value of pure red, green and yellow, a light value of pure orange. Similarly, the tint of this picture is light orange, and shades of this picture are dark red, green and yellow. For example, the skin of the arms are light orange; the bloody arms are dark red; the T-shirt is dark green; the logos of the shirt are dark yellow. The artist also uses the neutral colors which are white, black, dark black and dull brown. For example, the gun and leather belt are dark black; the background of the arguing man and woman is white; the background of the whole picture is black. The artist used the color temperature. The dark red of the bloody arms and dark green of T-shirt are warm, because the background is black that is the cooler color. 2. Secondly, I want to describe the use of line in this picture. The processes used in this particular work are contour line, hatching and cross-hatching. The artist uses the contour line to draw the outer edge of the man, woman and house...

...November 6, 2015 Emotions, Emotions, Emotions When you w3ake up in the morning, what are some of the things you do before heading out of the door? Most people look at the weather before they leave home .The weather sets the mood for the day. It determines what a person is going to wear and even a person’s attitude for the day. For example, if it is fall time and rainy out, a person might wear rain boots and a sweater. Now think of the colors of fall; orange, brown, yellow and red, and the colors of the leaves. The color brown can make one feel cozy, snug, and safe. Orange is associated with stimulation, warmth, and happiness. Thanksgiving is during the fall season and it is a time to stuff your face, to be surrounded by family, and to be thankful. And these colors help to set the vibe. Everyone is cheerful , full of laughter, and hungry. These feelings are asscosiated with the color yellow. Red symbolizes love and life and is mainly what people are thankful for on thanksgiving. Now back to the wet and slippery situation. When it is dark and stormy outside people tend to feel drowsy, sleepy, or even sad. Spring time gets the most rain typically in the western hemisphere. Spring time is one of the most crucial seasons for suicide. In the U.S. at least 30,000 people commit suicide each year. The suicide rates worldwide outweigh deaths involving accidents and homocides combined. IT is a popular belief that suicided rates peak during the spring. According the CDC almost 40,000 deaths in...

There was also an experiment conducted to see what colors were connected with appetites. There was food coloring added to make eight different colored Jell-O. Out of fifteen people, seven chose red, pink and purple chosen by three a piece, as well as green and orange chosen each by one person.

...Color Psychology Paper Research Question: How does color affect one’s mood? Review of Literature: Colors may just seem simple and unimportant, but they affect our daily lives more than we may know. If someone is feeling angry, it could just be because they’re angry, or it could be perhaps that they are surrounded by or looking at the color red. That’s right! People’s moods can change just because they are looking at different colors! There are many theories on how just a simple color can change one’s whole mood. According to Johnson (2007), color does affect mood by producing certain chemicals and stimulating different feelings such as hunger. For example, blue can make one feel calm because it releases calming chemicals, and red can make one hungry because it is an appetite stimulant. Yellow can make one feel irritated, and it is a fact that people lose their temper most in yellow rooms. However, pink is tranquilizing and can make one feel weak. In conclusion, Johnson says that depending on the color, one’s body can do things (like producing chemicals) that cause a certain emotional reaction (mad, sad, etc.). Another idea, by Smith (2007), is that the effect color produces is based on what one’s body does in response. For example, yellow is mentally stimulating, and activates memory, whereas red increases confidence. Also, brown can make a person feel orderly and stable, while a dark blue can make one feel sad. Therefore, Smith says that different colors do in fact change...

...Psychoanalysis In order to understand the true meaning of some stories we must understand the what psychoanalysis is. Psychoanalysis was thought up by a man know as Sigmund Freud also know as the Founding Father of Psychoanalysis. Being a major cocaine addict, his theories were often ridiculed and were thought to be perceived as hallucinations as a result of the cocaine use. Freud’s theories however sparked an all new era of Psychology. Although Freud’s theories seemed very radical, when put into life situations they actually make perfect sense. Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism refers to literary criticism or literary theory which, in method, concept, or form, is influenced by the tradition of psychoanalysis begun by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalytic literary criticism is a very common method of analyzing stories such as The White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett, Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne and The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe.

...The representation of Place within artworks throughout our history was caused by the search to understand the world and its roles. Throughout this time, many artists devised landscapes in a much different form to the usual accurate representations. Artists in the Post-Modern era have begun to investigate the relationship of memory, psychology and imagination to place and space. These landscapes differ greatly between artists, especially throughout different time periods. Three artists that take very different approaches to the idea of places and spaces are Joseph Mallord William Turner, Toba Khedoori and Jeffrey Smart. Joseph Mallord William Turner was an English Romanticist landscape painter whose work is often regarded as a Romantic...

...Subliminal Messages: Messages Occurring Daily Brianna Ortiz Tarleton State University According to Aronson, Wilson, and Akert, a subliminal message is defined as words or pictures that are not consciously perceived but may nevertheless influence people’s judgments attitudes, and behaviors. This can be included in multiple examples of media that surrounds our everyday lives. Subliminal perception is characterized by perception without awareness (Weinberger 2008). Subliminal messages are strategically placed in advertisements, movies, television shows, commercials, magazines, and just so many other places that we just dont even realize. Subliminal messages aren’t just limited to visual images; they can be hidden in audio messaging or music. With so much exposure that is normally unknown or unnoticed to us, what is the real reason we are being subjected to these messages? Better yet, who is sending out these subliminal messages to the masses? And why are they doing so? Subliminal messages are everywhere. One place that they can be discovered is in music. Music is a very powerful tool that so many people rely on for a source of comfort and escape. Numerous people use music to express themselves in various ways which is absolutely fantastic outlet.

...understand what they are getting themselves into. “Colors connect to our feelings in a unique and memorable way, which makes them a powerful marketing tool to keep in mind (Color is Important)”. Humans tend to notice color first before they read any type of text in anything because a color is an attention getter. In the Montana Meth PSA, the man that looks to be assisting her is wearing a red flannel. The color red in advertising can come off as danger while viewing certain things (Color Wheel Pro). Red is one of the brightest colors that we know of. That is why that stops signs, fire hydrants, stoplights are red, because the color is able to catch our attention easily. “Brightness refers to the intensity of the color.

...Hector M. Lopez Ms. Baily Writing I, Sec. 17 December 17, 2010 Love at first scare; the use of fear to manipulate consumers. The commercial for the 2008 Scion xB starts with a camera shot of a large boulder rapidly swinging across the screen, in what appears to be an empty industrial warehouse, as if it were part of a pendulum. In the background a child’s voice is heard, in an almost whispering manner, repeating “he loves me, he loves me not” in rhythm with the boulder as it swings over the car. After this, the camera shot changes to show a close up of the front tire of a bold metallic-orange Scion xB, standing out against the dark industrial setting, and the crude, unpolished textures of the boulder and the weathered concrete ground. Eventually the camera zooms out to include the swinging boulder and two identical orange cars on opposing ends of each other, about forty feet apart, and barely out of the boulder’s reach. Following this the shot zooms in again, and after two more swings of the massive boulder, the boulder slams into the side of the car, sending several pieces of metal into the air, and causing a large dent, about the size of both the side doors, on the right side of the car. After this collision, the camera focuses on the other, still untouched, car. In the background the wrecked car and the boulder can be seen. Upon switching to this shot the child’s voice can no longer be heard. After this, a man’s voice states “love it, or loathe it; the 2008 Scion xB.”...

...Megan Dotter Concept of Adaptation Aspects of Psychology SSCI206-1204B-04 Biological Influences IP Week 2 Abstract Teaching a class about the concept of adaptation to a psychology class, experiments could be conducted to help them learn what adaptation is all about. Firsthand knowledge is the best way to teach a large group of people about a concept they may otherwise not fully understand. In this paper you will see and read about some of the findings experienced during this time. Concept of Adaptation This is a new experience for me to teach a class anything so I will begin by giving the information the students should know about adaptation and the examples needed to ensure they understand. After completing that part of the presentation I think it may be beneficial for the students to learn by firsthand experience. There are a few experiments that could be very interesting for them to do on themselves and others. The concept of adaptation is defined as “Diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation ("Psych m.d. –," )” or “The tendency of a sensory system to adjust as a result of repeated exposure to a specific type of stimulus such as low levels of light ("Psych m.d. –," ).” An easier way to understand the concept may be to call it sensory adaptation. This explains in the name alone that it will be dealing with the 5 senses we have. Included in these five senses are taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. I will be touching base on each sense...
