The goal of the Realism movement was to intertwine the real world with the paintbrush. Considered by many to be the beginning of the modern art era due to everyday life and the current world being suitable subjects to be portrayed as art. The Realists of the 19th century concerned themselves with the way life was structured socially, politically, economically, and culturally. This concern with these certain aspects of life led to unsettling portrayals of the appalling moments of life. They often used dark earthy palettes that opposed the beauty ideals of art at the time. This is because Realism was the first clear-cut nonconformist movement that challenged the social customs and values of the rich who controlled the art market at the time.]]> 2019-01-29 21:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/omoreno100_2/7zkvcy1855oy/wish/325616500 omoreno100_2 https://padlet.com/omoreno100_2/7zkvcy1855oy/wish/325628894  Realism came about from a time in the 1840s when the beauty of a piece of art in Europe was decided by a single committee known as "Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. The reason for this being is the academy was situated in France, which at the time had a very prominent presence in European culture. This meant that the academy had a very strong say in what could be considered an acceptable piece of art. Through all this though France was beginning to have many revolutions in the country. One of these just so happened to be Realism, which aimed to go against the Royal Academy in what could be constituted as an admissible subject for a piece of art .]]> 2019-01-29 21:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/omoreno100_2/7zkvcy1855oy/wish/325628894 omoreno100_2 https://padlet.com/omoreno100_2/7zkvcy1855oy/wish/326030552 This painting called "Rue Transnonain" was painted by artist  Honoré Daumier. The artist attempt behind the painting was to denounce the monarchy in France for an obscene reaction to the killing of a police officer in a riot.

One of which is the point of view of the narrator. The POV of the narrator drastically influences the way a story plays out in a book. A first person book is an account of a story from just a single person. Meaning there are details that could be missed out one because of the nature of the first person narration. Another literary device used in writing is tone. The tone of a story is dependant on what kind of story the author is trying to tell. For example a fiction book about cats in space may have a less serious/realistic tone than an autobiography written by a War Veteran. The author's purpose ties in with the tone based on the fact that the purpose of a book determines the kind of tone the author wants to emphasize in their writing. An author also uses dialect to flesh out the way they want a certain character to be portrayed in the story. For example the author may want a certain character to use more cuss words or limited vocabulary to indicate that that character is uneducated or rude. Finally an author uses symbolism to make a story have a broader interpretation of it's meaning. For example an author may choose to include an object and or character that can be interpreted to have many different meanings to different kinds of people.]]> 2019-02-01 06:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/omoreno100_2/7zkvcy1855oy/wish/326573708
