IB (not) an Artist




Analysis of the Artwork:
The date of this artwork ranges from 1573–1620, and come from the culture of Britain, London mounts, and Chinese porcelain. The medium is porcelain, silver-gilt mounts with the dimensions of e 13 5/8 in. (34.6 cm) in height.  This piece of art falls under the classification of Metalwork-Silver In Combination and its credit line is Rogers Fund, 1944.  This artwork is a porcelain piece that holds great value.  It has elegant colors, such as blue and gold, that add to the value of the piece.  This porcelain was considered to be rare and represent royalty, a gift often given to furnish princely homes.  The smooth texture creates an elegant feel, as well as the smooth curves in the art.  The society helps reinforce this artwork as those in Britain at this time see this piece and hold it in high regards.  In the context of the time period, this piece represents social values, serving the purpose of being a highly valued piece representing royalty or high status.  The artwork on the porcelain, the birds in the tree, may represent something to the artist or from the time period, but looking at it in today's society I believe the birds are added to make the artwork look more elegant.  Overall, the purpose of this porcelain piece is to represent high value/royalty and in many ways, such as texture, design, color and more.

    A bit more needed here- think about using the guiding questions as a step-by-step analysis/way to make sure you looking at both the little picture (the what) and the big picture (the so what) thoroughly

    There wasn't much analysis on why the specific colors were chosen and the images on the porcelain. What specific values does this hold. The colors and images were visually pleasing and compliment each other such as the gold and blue. The texture giving a smooth feel is also a good descriptor to visual this piece. More analysis could be shown!

Walt Whitman

Whitman Analysis: After looking at the "Document" tab on the New York Times website about Whitman's work, I noticed many different details.  The first aspect of Whitman's work is the notebook itself.  The old leather and worn paper reflect both the value of the notebook and the older time period that Whitman lived in.  The worn leather and pages show how used the notebook is and that Whitman always would carry it with him.  The work inside of looks like a rough draft of a dialog with Abraham Lincoln created by Whitman.  It looks like a rough draft because of the crossed out and written in a sloppy handwriting.  The images in the notebook are reflections of the dialogue of his work and help the reader understand the events by using images.  One of the more significant things in his work is a reflection of what is going on in life, such as hinting at a mid-life crisis.  This also helps reveals Whitman's inner thoughts and how his everyday life is during this

Supersize That!

This advertisement was created by Mcdonalds, years ago when they offered supersized meals.  This ad would be placed on a billboard to be viewed by the public. Denotative:  This item is promoting a super-size upgrade when purchasing a meal for any Mcdonald's restaurant.  The outcome of this is getting a better value, i.e., more food and drink for a better price per unit.  Featured in this advertisement are Mcdonald's famous fries and their choice of soft drink, Coca-Cola.  The creator of this image used images to appeal to the audience. The intended audience for this picture is to all Mcdonald's customers and those who always look for the best value when purchasing meals.  Also, due to the low price, Mcdonald's customers are often from low income or low social class areas. Connotative: This ad represents one of the seven deadly sins: gluttony.  Gluttony can be defined as habitual green or excessive eating.  The image promotes more food and drink for a better

Final Reflection

My Final Reflection: A Short Story It was 11:45pm.  All of my homework was nearing completion and a wave a relief fell over me, knowing that I would soon be asleep in my comfortable bed.  As I am finishing up some final math problems, I give myself a pat on the back knowing that I will be in bed before midnight tonight.  While brushing my teeth, thinking about my always exciting A days that occur on Monday, I realized that I had forgotten something- a blog post! Being only my second post, I had not gotten accustomed to having homework that was not assigned the previous class, as it just had slipped my mind!  I was dreading it- wishing I was in bed and could not find the motivation to open my laptop again.  Knowing it was due in only a mere couple of hours, I forced myself to get started.  I sat on my bed, reading the prompt that Mrs. Genesky had proposed, dealing with our name and the origin behind it.  As a began the research for the post, I actually found it quite enjoyable l
