Humanities 108

I found this play very interesting because of the story line and how they used shadows as a form of German Expressionism. Without using any subtitles and sounds the story is told through shadows which is fascinating and eery. Some background information I gathered up in this 1923 film by Author Robison is he uses shadows to create a morality play for a gathering of rich friends. The play acts as warning about the consequences of adultery and possessiveness. The shadows depict what might happen if the baron stays jealous and suitors don't not reduce their advances towards his wife. The theme is that the truth is found within the darkness. I think I would add this to my cultural diet because it makes sense in a way that although this couldn't really happen where shadows move and tell a story but in the real world the shadows can be seen as a persons morals.

While looking at this painting my first impression is that it looks very cluttered and it makes me feel overwhelmed. Like I don't know what to focus on or what the main focus is exactly. Mainly because I'm seeing so many weird faces, shapes, movement and objects it's a bit confusing. Even though there is a lot going on I can make out that it looks like there are a bunch of people in some sort of room fighting, because I see people on the floor and someone with a knife. Also there is someone or something coming through the door. It looks rather chaotic.

And this painting shows the emotion of the war and the people who suffered. It is said that this painting is a reminder of a tragedy. After reading this I started to see the war in the painting. It started to make more sense and I wasn't seei...

Church at Auvers, The https://www.vangoghgallery.com/catalog/Painting/62/Church%20at%20Auvers,%20The.html The focus of this painting is pretty straight forward, it's the church. To me the church looks very dark and painted kind of gloomy, the sky is dark blue. The darkness of the painting gives off a gloomy feeling. I think Van Gogh made the church the focus and used darker colors on the church and sky to represent a sort of loss of faith. I also notice more color and brush strokes in the grass. 

I wouldn't say I am a very interesting person, work and school is mainly what my life consists of. I basically watch YouTube videos on my free time. I watch makeup tutorials and I would say that makeup really is what I love to do. I love creating different looks with neutral colors, and I love a dramatic glam look with lots of glitter as well. Fashion is another thing that really interests me I follow a lot of beauty gurus and fashion profiles on Instagram and enjoy going off of unique ideas on what outfits and make up looks to create.
