Hitchcock - Truman - 4th Art Event

The Truman Show is much like Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, which examines how curiousity overpowers any right a person thinks they have to privacy.The commonalities of the directors in these movies is how the dirctors try to pull you in to the moive as if you were one of the actors in the moive who was spying on the charcters in the movies. Its the strongest commonalities of the two films.Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature.  Voyeurism can take several forms, but its principal characteristic is that the voyeur does not normally relate directly with the subject of their interest, who is often unaware of being observed.

Trinity Cathedral - Art Event

1. Build sometime in the 1800s it has a laidout of a Gothic Revival church that is modeled after York Minster in York, England. Although the church had a cruciform design, only the nave and the twin towers were constructed. Each tower had eight pinnacles topped with a fleur de lis. The brick structure was plastered with buff stucco. The towers and walls have shouldered buttresses. The nave has a clerestory, which is the only one in a Columbia church.

2. I really can't talk mush about the interior do to the fact I didm't get to go inside but outside looking though the window I could see archs and  stained-glass windows.

3. The roof is supported on exposed wooden beams.The transepts and an apsidal chancel were constructed under the direction of Edward Brickell White.

assignment #11

Ekphrasis is the graphic, often dramatic description of a visual work of art. Ekphrasis has been considered generally to be a rhetorical device in which one medium of art tries to relate to another medium by defining and describing its essence and form, and in doing so, relate more directly to the audience, through its illuminative liveliness. A descriptive work of prose or poetry, a film, or even a photograph may thus highlight through its rhetorical vividness what is happening, or what is shown in, say, any of the visual arts, and in doing so, may enhance the original art and so take on a life of its own through its brilliant description.

Poem

The Cake That Bit Back

A baker decide to bake a cake one day, he mixed the ingrients, flour white as snow, nuts as hard as stone, choclate as sweet as the smell of a flower. He poured the mixture in a pan and placed it in the over let it sit some time in the oven. After it was done he took it out and set it on the table and decide to take a nap. He woke up to the sweet  smell of the cake and found the cake ten times as big as he cooked it and it was standing over him. The baker jumped out of the bed but not fast enough. The delious cake had ate him.  

Phantom of the Opera - 3rd Art Event

In 1919, the Paris Opera House is holding an auction. Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny, an elderly wheelchair-bound man, purchases a music box. He spots a familiar figure, Madame Giry, the former ballet mistress. Then, their attention is drawn to "Lot 666", a chandelier in pieces. As the chandelier is lifted, the film then shifts back to 1870, when the opera house was in its prime.
The Phantom, a disfigured musical genius, haunts the Opera House, hiding in its catacombs. He falls in love with a young soprano, Christine Daae, and tutors her into becoming the new opera star. Christine is torn between her childhood sweetheart Raoul and her attachment to the Phantom, who is masquerading as the Angel of Music, the spirit of Christine's dead father. Meanwhile, the Phantom engages in obsessive and deviant behavior, such as stalking Christine, murdering people to get to her and terrorizing anyone opposing Christine or himself.
When Christine visits her father's grave, the Phantom pretends to be the Angel of Music to lure her into his clutches. Raoul has followed her and rides up on his white horse in time to rescue her. A vicious sword fight erupts between Raoul and the Phantom, Raoul is wounded, but quickly rebounds and beats the Phantom. Raoul is about to kill the Phantom, but Christine begs him not to. They ride off as the enraged Phantom decides to "Let it be war upon them both!", even after Christine made Raoul spare him.
During the night's performance of "Don Juan Triumphant", an opera written by the Phantom, the Phantom and Christine sing "The Point of no Return", in which she tricks the Phantom into believing that she loves him. Raoul, sitting in the audience, is also tricked into believing that she loves the Phantom. As the Phantom begs Christine to have a life with him, she unmasks him, revealing his disfigurement to all in attendance. The Phantom kidnaps Christine and causes the chandelier to crash into to the audience. The Phantom, in a rage, believes Christine can never love him after seeing his scarred appearance, but she says the distortion lies in his soul, not his face. Raoul arrives to save Christine, but the Phantom snares him in a Punjab lasso, and tells Christine that if she chooses Raoul, he will free her, but Raoul will die; if she chooses him, he will release Raoul, but she must stay with him forever. Christine agrees to enter into this unholy bargain to save Raoul's life, even though he begs her to let him die so that she can live her life. Christine sings to the Phantom, tells him he's not alone, and they kiss passionately. Touched, he frees both her and Raoul. The Phantom realizes that Christine could have loved him, but his horrible deeds and anger have destroyed all chance of gaining her love. He realizes that if he truly loves Christine he must let her leave with the man she loves, Raoul. Christine returns the ring the Phantom gave her, then forces herself to leave with Raoul. She glances back a final time, knowing she loves him deep inside. Heartbroken, the Phantom, understanding he destroyed their love, grabs a candle-brier and smashes the mirror, disappearing behind it and a curtain. When the mob arrives, Meg, Christine's friend and Madame Giry's daughter, finds only his mask.
The scene shifts to the music box which fades to black and white in 1919. Raoul visits the cemetery and sadly places the music box at Christine's tombstone. On the ground next to the grave he sees a fresh red rose tied with a black ribbon and the engagement ring the Phantom gave to Christine, signifying that his love for her will never die.

The overall meaning of this moive I think is ture love is blind or never judge a book by it's cover. The Phantom loved Christine so much he would do anything for her but in the end he smothered her with his acts of cruelity and lost her for every.

ASSIGNMENT #9

1. Relief is a sculptural method. Sculpture in relief is created by raising the sculpted impression on the material above the background plane. This is done by lowering the background of the field and the sculpted impression outwardly raised.

Intaglio is the process where the design is carved below the surface of the matrix being used. In this case it is mostly metals such as copper,aluminum or stone. It is popular currently in concrete as well. Aluminum being a very resilient metal is a good material to work with in the Intaglio technique. The Intaglio technique involves using , etching, engraving, mezotint, aquatint, etc. The process involves making an image by making grooves below the surface of the metal. Then the ink is pushed into the grooves of the image that have been made. It is then pushed into a press with a damp paper on it and while it is being pushed the ink gets onto the paper from the grooves.

Stencil is a thin sheet material which does not allow moisture to pass through it. When paint is applied an image is formed under the surface of the sheet material. It acts as a water proof material and can be used to draw or paint shapes, letters, and patterns.

Plano graphics,  the printing is done on a flat surface, rather than from a raised surface. The different planographic printing are Lithography, Monotyping.

2.  Lithography is a process of printing an image using a stone or metal plate with a smooth flat surface. An image is drawn on the flat surface of limestone or metal plate using a greasy medium. An image is drawn, painted or photographically applied the stone or plate using a greasy medium. Lithographic inks are oil based, the image will keep away water and allow ink. Then it pressed and rolled with rubber rollers. Paper is placed below it and after pressing image is transferred on to the paper.

3. Etching is the art of making prints from metal plate, which has been bitten with acid. The plate itself is covered with wax and the artist draw with a sharp needle like instrument. This is then exposed to acid which then eats through the metal leaving lines in the plate. And silk screen is generally originated in China. It involves the process of allowing ink to pass through different areas until the final composite image is achieved.
