Visual Analysis of Paintings VISUAL ANALYSIS PAPER Rembrandt van Rijn, Landscape with a castle, oil on panel, c.1640 Falling on the foreground is a man holding scrolls and some on the ground. Ideally, scriptures were used as writing materials before the period of industrial revolution after which better writings materials were brought up. Therefore, this painting, at a glance brings the theme of art, through reading and writing. There are large paintings of real colours in the foreground and throughout the picture. This colouring defines the actual application of perfect contrast. The front presents the older man, perfectly fit in old-time attire and barefoot, a clear reflection of the old-time lifestyle. The man has grey hair on the head, correctly defining his age. He must have taken some good time in existence. Behind him is a bird, calm and undisturbed. The bird gets painted in maroon colouration—also, broken stones lying on the foreground. The papers being held by the man are white. The choice of the oil colouring that perfected the natural skin colour of the man was an…
Cultural and Creative Industries – Fall XXXX Introduction – 5 points Tourism in Japan is one of the most significant pillars of rural community industrialization and revitalization. The country is rich in culture, natural beauty, and other human-made attraction centers. With such vase offerings, the sector is still experimenting on the best attractions for international tourists. The country is keen on conserving its natural resources to preserve the natural scenery. It also has various activities that tourists can enjoy. Notably, 340 of such activities are receiving government support for popularization by minimizing the tourism tax (Japanese National Tourism Organization, 2018). The Japanese government’s target is attracting 60 million foreign tourists annually (Japanese National Tourism Organization, 2018). This effort is mainly because the local tourism industry has dropped in recent times drastically. The country has extensive heritage, which has made it impossible to keep away foreign tourists, hence, the decision to maximize international tourism revenues. Both the local and national governments drive tourism in Japan, and they seem to focus on the needs of the organizations with the highest revenue collections.…
Rap Music and Media Rap music has grown to be an essential style in the music industry. Currently, Rap music can be put in a position that was initially held by Jazz music in the early twentieth century. The media has continued to represent Rap music negatively throughout the years, but the music has risen against the odds to dominate the field. Like other music genres, the negative presentation of Rap music has considerably turned listeners’ perception towards Rap music for the worst, and the duty has remained the responsibility of the musicians to win back the trust and reputation by listeners. The success of the media’s negative presentation, however, is attributed to the Rap musicians’ general appearance in the public which makes the attacks by media outlets make a lot of sense to the listeners. For example, Rap musicians like posting pictures representing rotten societal morals or in one way or another suggesting as if to support immorality. The videos in the Rap music also are nothing to go by if looking for role models for the young generation.…

Latin-American History Spanish Conquest Spanish explorers and soldiers invade America in 1492, to maximize the Spanish Empire alongside the Portuguese. The invasion contributed to the migration and settlement of the Spaniards in different regions of America. After signing the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, Spain and Portugal divided the new world into two, with Spain taking over the West and Portugal dominating the East. Spain’s motivation to conquer America was the presence of gold in the region, which would maximize trade and bring more wealth to Spain. Additionally, Spain’s desire to spread Christianity facilitated the conquest and colonization of the Americas. Christianity was a severe issue, and the Spaniards wished to convert the Native Americans into Christians (Belknap & Sandweiss 7986). Christopher Columbus took many natives as slaves forcing them to work in their plantations under miserable living conditions. The native civilizations that inhabited America during the conquest were the Incas, Aztec, and Maya. The invasion of Spain and African slaves in the New World resulted in the spread of illnesses that were previously foreign to the natives. Diseases such…

Notwithstanding, contemporary art has also been viewed to be an alternative kind of religion. Sarah Thornton has written an entertaining and intelligent fly- on- the- wall narrative that takes people behind the scenes of the world of arts. It moves people from different art schools to the auction houses, showing them how it works. Thus, it has given us a precise sense of being part of the art world.

Use of Film and YouTube during War Introduction Humanity for centuries, has been fascinated in trying to capture and reenact war through painting, plays, and stories. However, entering into the 20th century, a new type of technology called film was mass-produced by the Lumiere Brothers. The film allowed war to finally be captured and preserved like no other technology before it. The point of my essay is to complicate, compare and contrast World War 1’s (WW1) use of film versus the Iraq War’s use of YouTube. I argue that YouTube is a platform used to broaden the range of video in a way that threatens the government’s control on censorship of visual media and film in times of war. YouTube has become a platform that can weaponize film and video by giving the public direct access to videos preventing government censorship. WWI Film WW1 (1914-1918) also known as the “Great War” was the first war in which film was used for both reporting and military use. A man by the name of Oskar Messter became famous in the war…
