The sun is shinning so it probably in the morning. There are big boats and a city, this may be an ocean or a sea. In the background on the top right is an iceberg. The sky looks very weird it has different colors like blue yellow and white. It is blue and the land rises sharply. The sun looks very low in the sky. The sun is in the middle of the picture maybe to the right a little. On the left side I see a city where people live and beside it looks like huge rocks. In the middle of the sea there is one boat and it looks like its going somewhere. On the right side there is another boat but it’s bigger. Next to the boat I see trees and another island. Next to the trees there’s a guy holding a stick with a lot of goats near him. It looks like he’s going hiking. The goats are just picking t the floor probably looking for food. The goats are surrounded by little trees or bushes. The guy is looking up at the sky wondering where he is. In the sea Icarus is drowning with his feet up in the air. In the front on the bottom I see another guy sticking his hand in the water. He is sitting on the grass searching for something or maybe he is going fishing. In the very front there is a farmer plowing his field. He’s wearing a red shirt but the brown thing on him looks like a dress. His hair is cut short and his shoes look a little fancy. While he’s plowing there is a horse that’s making the plough work. The man and the horse are also surrounded by some bushes and some rotten flowers. The most thing that I see is that the farmers face is hidden so that must mean something. The farmer is trying to go somewhere from the way he horse is leading him. Next to the city it looks likes there’s more icebergs all the way in the back. Where the farmer is plowing its looks like there is cracks on the floor or on the side walk. I see a dead bird on top of something. It looks like it was on that for a long time. The water in the ocean seems to change colors. In the middle it’s clear but near the side its pretty dark. On the side the water has waves in it. To me the water looks black which could resemble the death of Icarus. In the water there is a mini island with tress around it. The boats shouldn’t be in the water because the rocks could be dangerous for them just in case they hit it. There seems to be some wind because the sail looks like it’s going to fall off. The farmer is also plowing downhill that may be a little difficult.Felipe Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251617686794731462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-91720117647825902052010-09-22T00:55:43.384-04:002010-09-22T00:55:43.384-04:00In this picture I see many different things. One ...In this picture I see many different things. One of the first thing I saw was a men with really old style clothing with a whip riding a horse o some short of hill. I see the sun rising and the reflection of the sun in the sea. I see many different types of colors, I see green from the trees I see yellow from the sun and the horses hair, I see gray from the cliffs and mountains, I see brown from the horse the ground, the dog, the stick the men, I see red from the undershirt o the men riding the horse, I see blue from the sea and the sky and the blue shirt of the men holding the stick, I see white from the clouds and from the clothes from the men by the sea. I also see lots of ships in the sea about four of them. I see cliffs, mountains a little island with a cliff and some trees . I see waves, I see plants next to the horse and near the edges of the cliff. I see a men holding a long stick, and a dog next to him and more animals surrounding him, looks like his trying to lead the heard. . I see a staircase up ahead in front of the horse going up steeply. I also see a men sitting by the cliff watching the sea wearing white, looks like his touching the pointing at the water. I see that far up ahead toward the left there is place with buildings , looks like a little city. I see leggings the men whore back in the days I see the men in red wearing a dress type thing. I see tile for a path, I see rock in the sea. I see a knife with a little pouch right next to it , on top of a flat type of rock. I see long braches coming out the side of the cliffs looks dry with little amount of leaves, I see more braches nest to the heard but not dry with many leaves and very green, I see a little and two skinny straight trees to the left of the heard, and a big tree in front of the horse and more trees up ahead the fist ship. I see that in the island there is also a whole in the cliff there must be a cave. I see grassy hills on the left, behind the big tree that’s leads to the city. I see the men’s footwear looks like some rounder type of boots. I see flags on top of the ship, a white flag with a symbol. I also see something a little unusual, looks like there is a men drowning next to the ship in front of the men looking at the sea ,he has both his feet upside down coming out of the water , the men that looks at the sea might see that that men is drowning.Erik7https://www.blogger.com/profile/13724642069350849537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-79283390496393323552010-09-19T23:39:30.518-04:002010-09-19T23:39:30.518-04:00In the picture, "Landscape with the Fall of I...In the picture, "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" by Bruegel, the sky is the thing that pops out to me the most. The sky is a gray-ish color, but the sun is such a bright yellow. In the left corner, it looks like there is a little city. I also see the mountains in the right corner of the picture, it looks kind of foggy. The water is a nice blue-green color, and the water is very calm. I see boats going towards the sun, or maybe even towards the city. There is also another boat in the bottom right corner, it has a big sail. It appears that the boat is packed with a lot of stuff, probably going to sell things to people in the city. Right beside the boat I see feet splashing outside the water, which looks like someone drowning. I also see a fisherman fishing, kind of just watching this person stuck upside down in the water, and he isn’t doing anything about it. Closer up, I see a man in a blue, long-sleeved shirt, with a large backpack on. It looks like he has a big stick in his hand and a dog by his side. Also, there are many sheep’s surrounding this man. He probably has a sheep dog to help him. He is looking up towards the sky, maybe he seen something unusual in the sky, or maybe he was just enjoying the site, and thinking to himself. Then I see another man who is wearing a red-orange long-sleeved shirt and a green dress-looking thing over it, and brown tights. He looks like he is planting crops, and a horse pulling something making lines in the ground. The line this horse is making is probably the lines for the man to grow his crops. The trees look like they are starting to get their color back, so maybe it is the spring time since they are starting to plant again, and get the animals together. I like how this picture just comes together so nicely with the colors. The picture looks so vibrant, but the title gives off a different story. "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" sounds mellower, like the colors should be darker. I think the bright colors might be used to convey a message, like teach us something. It may be used to teach us even if you fall, get back up. It also may be trying to tell us you can't rise if you don’t follow directions, even if they are directions you think you don’t need to listen to. Bruegel put this picture together so well relating to the poem “The myth of Daedalus and Icarus” by Ovid. It demonstrates a perfect picture of when Icarus wings melted because he flew to close to the sun even though Daedalus told him not to. It also shows that there is always a reasoning behind what people tell you to do even if it isn’t something you want to do, and sometimes you have to risk the fun in doing whatever you want, and do what you have to do.Jamilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919545970652147686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-37156456541098921702010-09-17T08:52:52.070-04:002010-09-17T08:52:52.070-04:00In the picture” Landscape of Icarus” by Pieter Bru...In the picture” Landscape of Icarus” by Pieter Bruegel. I see many things throughout the painting. I see many cool colors as in blue and green and warm colors as in yellow and red. In the painting I see trees but what stuck out to me is that the trees are appearing to be black, and so are the little bushes around the coast line of the water. I see cliffs and landscapes. One part if the picture I see an distant island. I see the water and some parts of the water things seem to be appearing out of the water. I see a person doing landscaping with appears to be horse or mule. I see legs sticking out of the water and feathers in the air and water. I see sheep and a man leading them and next to the man I think it appears to be a dog. I see a ship and the ship’s sails. I see the little yellow from a distant. From the distant I see a village maybe and within the village looks likes buildings and houses. I see dirt on the ground. I see two ships, and one of them id from a distant and one’s up close. I see he sky and the colors. In the middle it’s yellow from the sun, but on the sides its blue mixed with white. On the left side of the water there’s a brown rocks there, and I see a hole which looks like an entryway. I see green grass along with the dirt. In se white ripples in the blue/green water. Behind the clouds in the sky I see mountains with a pointy top. I see the man leading the ship looking up to the sky as if he is seeing something. The man leading the sheep is holding a brown bag on his back. It looks like the ships are heading to the little village. Within the sheep are see three brown little animals. I see white strands on the right side of the painting. On the left side of the painting I see flowers near the horse or mules and a little green/black plant. The man leading the horse or mule is wearing red which stands out to me within the whole painting, the man is wearing brown stockings and a light mint green shawl and a dress, and also he is wearing black shoes. The horse or mule has a saddle on its back. The green/blue water is sort of see through. It looks like to me the man ,leading the sheep is going somewhere by the looks of the sheep going into an area, and some are going in a different directions, but he can’t tell because he’s distracted. The island from the distant appears t have something on it. It looks stranded. The man leading the sheep is holding a staff. On the left side of the painting I see birds on the cliff and below the cliff.Cyntia Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504892805043619236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-5828844312557765142010-09-16T18:37:09.005-04:002010-09-16T18:37:09.005-04:00Kevin Joyce

In this painting "...Kevin Joyce<br />English 12 CP<br /><br />In this painting "Landscape with the fall of Icarus" by Pieter Bruegel, my observation is I see different shades of colors such as yellow, blue, green, white, red, orange, brown, and grey. Also I the painting I see a few animals such as a horse, some sheep, a dog, a bird, and a partridge (which is supposed to be Daedalus’s nephew that he kicked off the edge of a cliff and was turned into a bird). Also in the sky I see clouds and the sun . I also see an ocean and on the water I see about five ships, huge rocks, a small island with a stone house, another island and the sun’s reflection. But the ships look like they are leaving a city which is located on the left of the painting. The city looks like it is surrounded by water on one side and on the other it looks like it is surrounded by mountains. Near the sun it looks like a volcano is located there because of its outline. On the opposite side of the city there are a lot more mountains. When I first looked at the painting I first noticed the man in red who is plowing his land, he is dressed in a red shirt and some sort of dress and some sort of hat or helmet and he is also pushing around a ancient plower. Around him I see very dry dirt and grass and some of the small plants look like they are dieing. Also I see beautiful trees that look like they are just blooming and bushes and shrubs. Then at the edge of the cliff he is on I can see dead dried up plants that look like they where ounce very beautiful. Then I noticed the man in a blue/grey shirt who is a shepherd with approximately sixteen sheep and he has a brown sheep dog. The way he is positioned is that he must be looking in the air at Daedalus and Icarus falling or he might be thinks strongly about things such as breaking the laws of nature. Then I noticed Icarus drowning in the water which is located in the bottom right of the painting. You cant really see him because he is drowning but I know its him because of the feathers in the water surrounding the body and his legs are hanging out of the water. Then I noticed the fisherman at the coast fishing, he is dressed in a light brown shirt. I also see the cliff that might have been the cliff that Daedalus pushed his nephew off of. All of the men look like they don’t care about Icarus drowning in the water, that shows that humans only care for themselves, but they could be mad at him because he had them thinking that him and his father are gods when they clearly not if he just fell out of the sky and died. That is all I see in the painting "Landscape with the fall of Icarus" by Pieter Bruegel.Kev Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842320024578062641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-20482405527815123892010-09-16T12:34:54.622-04:002010-09-16T12:34:54.622-04:00In the painting by Pieter Bruegel, one can see and...In the painting by Pieter Bruegel, one can see and notice many significant elemets if related to the title "Landscape with the fall of Icarus". Icarus who flew ignoring his father's terms and instructions not to fly too close to the sun nor too close to the sea, ended up falling in the water. Due to the composition of the wings (wax), his flight did not reach the sun, the wings melted way before he reached that point or any place near it.<br />Indeed, on the painting, Icarus' legs are all what's left to the beholder from his drowning body by the ship. The sun is half set on the horizon which can be significant since the horizons have always been symbols for Men's dreams: Icarus did not get to live his dream, he instead, fell very far from it.<br />On the other hand, there is a ploughman, a shepherd and what appears to be a fisher on that same landscape continuing to do their jobs as if nothing happened. This could be Bruegel's way to testify Man's indifference to his fellow Men's sufferances. Life goes on for them and the rest of the world while Icarus' ended at that moment, right in front of their careless eyes.<br />The painting tell Icarus' story- at least the end of his story- and delivers the message behind it plus the elements that the painter chose to incorporate into his piece. Such as the indiffrence of others or maybe was it a way to say that life will always go on, regardless of people's tragedies? Or even a way to mock Icarus' cluelessness... some type of "You should've known better, nobody cares." ?

The sunset is also directed in one area instead of throughout the whole sky. The island south from the city seems to have a little cave or entrence way. The sail on the biggest ship is way to far off the ship. There also seems to be someone drowning in the lower right corner of the piece. A horse is being used to cultivate the land instead of an ox or something. I see a shepherd. He seems to be resting. i see a lot of sheep. there are also many ships. there is a big mountainous area in the background. It goes well with the sunset. there is a man in the bottom right corner that seems to be tring to help the drowning person. the big ship is coming out of a river. there is a tool next to the horse on the ledge. the city is reflecting the color of the sunset. the city has fairly tall buildings. also a port or a small cove right there in the city. the two or threee people in the picture seem to be in their own little village away from the city. like they are exilled or something. the colors used in the front of the picture are dark and depressing. the colors near the city are bright and glooming. the city seems to ber surrounded by moutains and the only way to get there is by boat or ship. what i just noticed that there is a dog sitting obediently next to the shephard. behind the tree on the left there seems to a forest or tall grass area. i also see a small bit of cloud. the man plowing is holding a stick or a whip to keep the horse moving. the hourse looks tired. the shephard looks just as tired. he seems lik hes looking up at god for a sign. two of the small ships. There is a lot of detail in the waterZack H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15677049283490610244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-49023858849895404052010-09-16T07:43:14.742-04:002010-09-16T07:43:14.742-04:00In the painting by Pieter Bruegel, one can see and...In the painting by Pieter Bruegel, one can see and notice many significant elemets if related to the title "Landscape with the fall of Icarus".

Pervasive across, the rays, seemed to please everyone and everything.<br /> The blue sea, sprinkle with coral, reflecting the beautiful blue sky, is one of the most charming set of that show. Adding to that, a handful of scattered trees borders the road along the coast. Further, the slope of the mountains, domesticated by the architecture of the city and embellished by the cliffs near the beach, gave it a natural and unique beauty.<br />The clear and calm sea was not only reflecting the beauty of the atmosphere but it also allowed little and big boats to sail and go about their business to their own risks of course, because the ocean was teeming with reefs. Apart the boats, a small island was laying and completing the show.<br /> On the island overcame small castle bordered at the back yard by a set of tree. Among the visitors of the sea, was counted the animals such as sheep. The sheep are drinking water from the sea or maybe just watching fishes under the water since it’s saltwater. Some of them are also eating leaves. We also have other animals that aren’t sheep such as a bird and some quadrupeds. We also have the first and the cleverest being among all beings, men.<br />In a corner, we have a man, squatted, who has his hand in the water. In another corner we have another one staring at the sky while his dog is taking something from his pocket without even noticing that. While he’s also relying on his cane, his backpack suspended on his back.<br />The few trees, according to their leaves the peasant with his machine tilling the land indicates that we’re in spring before the rainy season. The peasant are getting the ground for the farming.<br />While the other animals are drinking, the donkey is working on tilling the ground designed to guide a robust young man that holds it a rope and holding a whip to force it to work when it’s getting a little lazy. Around the tilling field, we observe some round and black parts of wood just like they’ve just operated the burn technique of burning the useless rest of the crop. This is to expand the production capacity of the land.<br />The men are dealing with their business the sheep are drinking and eating, the dog is taking its belongings from the peasant pocket.

It felt like I had come to another world, that moment brought to me a surprise at the shock cannot be expressed in words. Do you know what kind of place I thought it was? It was like a "paradise", it gave me the first impression is the quiet, serene and peaceful, an inoffensive life. I can feel that the life shows in the picture is simplicity and joy, it seems that it can make you forget all cares. Look at the endless sea and days together as there is no end. While several vessels are floating in the water, like the bright stars hit a dash of dark night. Smiling sun hanging in the sky reflection in the water, then the farther way of the mountain, and the rock in water, and cattle farmers cultivated ground, and that mix of sheep and shepherds, or the fisherman that play with fish in the sea , and that scene makes heartfelt feel peace and happiness. How I wish I could be one of the them, the reason why i say that because it gave me a feeling of peace, tranquility and happiness, which cannot exchange with money.Xiuyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613418830578088877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-31778014562791095442010-09-16T00:09:48.164-04:002010-09-16T00:09:48.164-04:00In the painting “Landscape with the fall of Icarus...In the painting “Landscape with the fall of Icarus” by Pieter Brueghel, I see the sky have difference colors, blue, orange white eta. And the sun rising behind the sea, so I can know that is the morning. The water is blue and clean. There have some litter island in the sea. And I can see some difference side of ships in the sea, maybe there are the merchant ship, carry the goods to the other city. And I also see the small boat in the middle of the sea, it maybe the fisher boat. I see some hills and mountain around the sea. And I can see a small town in the left side of the picture. It seems a nice town, because I can see many nice house and building. And in the middle part of the picture is the man standing in the area. The man look toward the sky, maybe he is thinking something was happen in his life. And his dog also looking to the sky, it might try to understand what his master thinking about. And there have many sheep around the man, so I can know he is the herd. And he is wearing a blue simple t-shirt and a raining boot. He carries the black pack and holding the stick. He seems frugal. One of the other man who wearing the white t-shirt and wearing the black cap. He is squatting in the band of the sea. Maybe he is the fisher or maybe he is thinking some bad happen in his life. He looks sad from his back. Or maybe he drop something into the water, and he try to get it black. The very middle of the picture is the ploughman. He is wearing the orange t-shirt. The buffalo is carrying the ploughshare. And the ploughman pushes the ploughshare. He seems tired, I see the field is dry, he hard to develop it. This picture seems to relate the poem that we read. I love that picture, because it organize and detail. From their clothiers and the man doing the field that we can know it take place in long time ago, and maybe happen in autumn. Because people wearing the long-sleeved t –shirt. Those things are what I can see in the printing. And I like to know more detail form the printing.jieyuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717784285537458469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-64086605858937670732010-09-15T23:33:41.595-04:002010-09-15T23:33:41.595-04:00In this photo graph "Landscape with the Fall ...In this photo graph "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" by the famous painter Pieter Bruegel who was known as the Elder or Peasant Bruegal 1525 – 9 September 1569 i see many unusual objects and people. Looks like a calm, quiet setting. Calm water full of rocks. I see a big beautiful sunset in a big beautiful blue sky behind what looks like a couple of ice bergs. i see old fashion boats with sails in the water. i see a slight bridge with a young female wearing many colors red green white and brown look like she is plowing her grass with something wooden that is lead by what looks like a horse or maybe a donkey. The young female doesn’t have much grass look like her grass is upon a hill or a cliff. i see a man bottom right corner in a white top looks like maybe he is fishing or getting ready for a swim, maybe the boat belongs to him and he is dropping anchor. i see another man look like he is hiking up the hill while herding sheep but it doesn’t look like the sheep are fence is so maybe is an island where the sheep run free in open area but the man is herding with a wooden walking stick and a huge brown backpack maybe the young lady on the hill is maybe his wife or sister, because it doesn’t look like many people life upon what look like an island. the island is surrounded by water and it look a little deserted. it look like the weather is end of spring beginning of spring because the lady is getting her grass situated and the leaves on the trees look like they are just growing back. The many rocks that are located in the calm quiet water look very dangerous considering the fact there is a wooden sail boat in the calm quiet water. Couple of the rocks in the water kind of form a cave of some sorts maybe the home of an underwater creature. I see this is an old painting, because there is no technology people are herding sheep and the boat are wooden and still have sails similar to the Chris Columbus days with the Nina the pinta the Santa Maria. The people were not what we call wealthy. They look like the type that struggled to just get by, because I see old and worn out clothes the object used to plowing looks like it was home made. The area where the young lady is plowing doesn’t look like it would even reach the limit of an acre. This painting was drawn way back in the day, you can’t walk down the street and see this kind of this any more. You would have to go into the middle of no where to see people plowing their grass or herding sheep. The sail boats are only seen in museums now you can’t see them no where else.Teddy Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787950379596305744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-37696538089713968242010-09-15T23:18:40.451-04:002010-09-15T23:18:40.451-04:00In the picture of “landscape with fall of Icarus” ...In the picture of “landscape with fall of Icarus” ,which was painted by Pieter Bruegel, there are many shapes in the sky, such as yellow, light green and some blue. The yellow part seems to show that is the sun rising or falling. Also, the blue color may descried cloudy and the background looks like the late of 19th century, because the boats are the old style of creating and people’s feeding, farming and clothes. On the top left side, I see a small city build between the ocean and the huge mountain. It’s flourished and far away from the village on the front of painting. Approaching the front of image, there is a woman who wears some old clothes and field machine which is tied by a house. They are going other where through the way with some big trees. Meanwhile, it shows most of mountains are without lots of plants, just have few tree which are not really exuberant growth. In addition, there’s a man who looks a middle-age, and many animals surround him, maybe those are sheep. The man raises his head and looks up to the sky and he has a dog beside him. He maybe is a farmer, and pat attention to sky that seems to have something special happened. When I turn eyes to the right side in the bottom, I see a big sailing boat and the water waves higher because of a person who drops into the sea. Furthermore, there is a man stay at bank edge to try helping. I think he want to save that person. At last, I also see the large area with painting green and some boats that are different sizes and direction. Those are the things what I see in this image.LILYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020604731099984707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-24049326565486448712010-09-15T23:15:17.558-04:002010-09-15T23:15:17.558-04:00Based on this art if you have the view from the to...Based on this art if you have the view from the top of the mountain you would see anything down there clearly.This is such a gorgeous country that surround by wealthy nature have created by God. From here we can see the blue sky the beauty cloud that flowery on the sky,according to this situation we can determine that the weather must be in Fall,we just can not see any leaf lay on the tree branch anymore and this art is just looks pretty sad.If we take a look on the left that we could see the small town and behind that town there is a giant mountain and when the first time i look at it i thought that was a Golem, and there also a harbor in order people from a different town they can come and make a trade and doing their business.But it does look its a quite town people could awake and come out their house to do their business rather than staying home at this point. In the middle of an ocean we can see that a sailing boat nailed right in the center. They are finding the right location for net down to catching some fish. But on this art,there is something not in the right track. If we look farther on the left we could see the town, however on the right side there is no living there,it doesn't have any signs that people live there. And just look alike an abandon place some point.there are a bunch of trees behind it and the main thing that right in our front we would see that a few people on the field,they must be a farmers.Waking up early in the morning in Fall wasn't that easy for these farmers. they are fully cover themselves with fur clothing. But Why would these people live separately with the other in a small town? the must be some secrets hidden! Or because people in the small town just don't like them? Or because they against the rule? These people live in the separately mountains some of them were old and young too.The man with the long gray dress is on the field, why are they using the cow to plough the field instead the horse. and the other guy is shepherd. He is looking up on the sky, he must waiting for the weather shift.But then if you look on the bottom right you will see the guy is fishing. because next to him there is a eagle. And there’s only one reason why the eagle is there. Because the eagle trying to catch some fish.They have to survive by their own, no one supply their food or drink. The shepherd must looking up to the sky wishing that some raining will coming down, at least their need would provide with water. And the other reason that they have to be there themselves that people from the town must testing them see if they could survive without water and foods.Hieu Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917873365785075251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-45090441461173517152010-09-15T22:47:38.237-04:002010-09-15T22:47:38.237-04:00Ravix Dupervil

I see a yellow sky with a tint of blue, but also a surrounding of green as well. In this sky you can see how the color form the clouds. It almost looks like the sun is setting. In the back right corner of the picture you can see mountains, so you can tell that there in the distance. In the far left of the picture you can see a little city, with buildings and some mountains behind that. It looks like the sun is shining over the little city still. Where the city is it looks like it could be a peninsula. Right next to that there is a green area it looks as though it could be bushes or trees. After that there are huge, tall rocks that are a tan type color and along side of that is another area of green trees and bushes. The water is a green and blue color, a blend of the two. In the water there is a small island, it looks sandy, and looks like it has some green trees. There are four sail boat’s in the water, two which have a faded look to them, so you can tell there kind of far away. There is a bigger ship in the middle of all the smaller sail boats, which you can see more clear then them, you can see its white mass and its brown boat, but still you can tell its in the distance. There is another island in the water, but on this one there is this huge dark rock with an opening in the front of it. Its on sandy ground and had green trees behind it. Right in front of that island there is a random rock sticking out of the water, and then there is a much smaller one next to it as well. As you get closer to the land you can see another ship, but this time it’s bigger and you can really see what the shit looks like. It has big white sails, you can see the long pole that stand in the middle of this shit with the nets on them, you can see the little thing you can sit in at the top of the pole. You can even see this white thing on the deck, which looks like it could be a person. When your looking at this boat you can see waves in the ocean. As you move away from the boat a little you can see that someone is in the water, you can see there legs and feet up out of the water. As you get close to the shore, you can see three people, one is standing down by the water leaning towards it, the other looks like he’s watching either sheep or cows, with a dog along his side, up more is the last guy who is making a horse more. Up on the shore there are grass type areas and sandy areas. There are some twigs along the side of the shore, as well as trees up more ahead. Also there are two sets of stairs when you are up on the shore. The colors up on the shore are kind of dark, the more dark greens and browns. So that is basically what this picture looks like.Brittany A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06338380193738000674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-12651501777213276422010-09-15T21:03:38.845-04:002010-09-15T21:03:38.845-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cathy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08913933982668671099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-69851849875440223922010-09-15T21:01:53.391-04:002010-09-15T21:01:53.391-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cathy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08913933982668671099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-62346904270088514102010-09-15T21:00:54.260-04:002010-09-15T21:00:54.260-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cathy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08913933982668671099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149445071004136479.post-36032085248676054972010-09-15T21:00:18.320-04:002010-09-15T21:00:18.320-04:00Cathy Pham
English 12 C.P.
In this portrait ...Cathy Pham<br />English 12 C.P.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> In this portrait "Landscape with the fall of Icarus" by Pieter Bruegel, my observation is I see a young man, well dressed holding wood and shaping the grass. I see a lot of pretty landscape that is occupied by sheep and 3 men. The man looks like he’s going to fall into the water, trying to grab fish or other objects that is inside of the water. The blue and yellow sky stood out to me because it looks like the sun is rising or either setting. The sail boats looks like it is leaving the island and going to the other end. The guy standing next to the sheep looks like he has been hunting or just looking at the wonderful view. I see leaves and very little of them, it is probably cold out because of the way they are dressed. They are wearing very long clothing and a hat. I see mountains and huge rocks. I also see people's home or little houses. I see a big island in the middle of the ocean. The horse looks like it is very tired. When I look deeply into this picture I see a small town full of opportunity. On the far right I see white mountains and it looks like no one lives on that side of the town and it looks pretty much isolated. I see three birds flying into the town and they are all spread apart not only in one area of the town. The little castle or house in the middle of the water looks like very cold. The sail boat looks very spacious and very nice for their time. When I see a leg or arm sticking up in the water, trying to swim or swimming away from the guy next to the water. I see very dry dirt and grass. The wood that he is carrying around to carve the floor looks not advancement and that means they do not have the technology to help them carve the floor to make it look beautiful. The sky is blue and yellow and very inconsistency with the color sequence. The guy looks like a caramel apple because of his clothing, it has no type of style. It looks like only women would wear something like that. I see a dog next to the guy. I guess the dog is there to help regulate the sheep and where the sheep have to go and where to eat. The guy looks like he is guarding them so that they won't run away or fall into the water. The source of food for the sheep is the dry grass and the water. They have no good water supply for the sheep. I see a shadow of a volcano or a huge mountain next to the sun and it looks like the town has formed by it. The man that is carving the floor looks like he know what he is doing and likes to do it. The horse looks very healthy and is well groomed even though he is probably over worked. I see a lot of space that is not occupied by civilians during this time because they had low amount of transportation.Cathy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08913933982668671099noreply@blogger.com
