Super Mario Sunshine Developer: Nintendo Release Date:  July 19, 2002 Location: Tokyo, Japan  Let's begin with Super Mario Sunshine with its colorful, bright, and eye-catching colors, is the dominant element that draws your eyes in. The protagonist, Mario, is dressed in a beautiful vibrant bright red shirt and brilliant bright blue overalls. Surrounding him are many colors like yellow, blues, and whites and a little green. I like the font they used for the Super Mario sunshine it's like a bubble writing with a few straight edges here and there, instead of the soft curved lines normally found on bubble lettering. The game takes place on the tropical Isle Delfino, where Mario, Toadsworth, Princess Peach, and five Toads are taking a vacation. A villain resembling Mario, known as Shadow Mario, vandalizes the island with graffiti and leaves Mario to be wrongfully convicted for the mess. The actual gameplay utilizes color to appeal to the players.  Legend of Zelda: Twiligh...

 “Sharecroppers’ Revolt" Artist:    Joseph Paul Vorst Year: 1939 Type: Oil on Panel Location:  Shogren-Meyer Collection      I picked this painting because it shows how hard people worked and what kind of struggles, they had to go through during the great depression. This shows both as a teaching tool and as a history of a critical social movement of the 1930s, a period of dominant government intervention and a time of rural studies researching that needs and exploitation of the poor people. In this painting it says that he compared today to the America in the 1920s and 1930s. He was seeing warning signals, such as climate change and income disparity, that ended in a future depression. I wouldn't want a copy of this hanging in my home personally but if I were to hang it somewhere I would definitely hang it in the entryway or the man cave just to show that we're hard workers as well. 😊 I would like to compare it to this day and age but then is nowhe...

The Stone Breakers Gustave Courbet, 1849 Destroyed during World War II This painting is of two very hard-working men, the younger one holds a basket and the older one picks at the stones. These men are doing one of the worst jobs anyone could imagine, creating gravel for roads. This painting was intended to show the hard labor that poor citizens had to experience. Stone Breaking was a very low paying job and would require you to work very long hours in tore up clothes, scratched up knees and weathered cracked hands. Courbet did not show the figure's faces, they represent the "every man" and are not meant to be specific individuals. As horrible as this job looks, it was very important and everybody needed roads to travel, modern life was centered on roads. More of the details in the painting includes the anonymity of the two men and their stronger relationship to the land than to their popularity. Even though they never made history books or barley remembered, they w...
