Abstract
This paper examines the film, "Blue Velvet," directed by David Lynch. Specifically, it discusses mise-en-scene and cinematography in the film. It looks at how David Lynch is a master of the film noir, dark and brooding types of films that disturb, disquiet, and titillate, all at the same time, and how "Blue Velvet" is no exception. It discusses how the film is part blue porn flick, part girl-next-door love story, and part sadistic kidnapping, and how the elements all blend together to form a cohesive whole because of Lynch's masterful use of mise-en-scene staging and cinematography. "Blue Velvet," even with its happy ending, leaves the viewer wanting more, somehow and that, too, seems to be just what Lynch intended.
From the Paper
"Mise-en-scene is a French term describing the "director's text" or staging of a film, and in "Blue Velvet," David Lynch's intricate and often surreal staging is an integral part of the film. He arranges space and time in the film with such dark and dreamlike qualities that the film can be nothing more than memorable and yet quite disturbing at the same time a true mark of Lynch's film and a tribute to his mise-en-scene. The most compelling visual motif in the film is of course the color blue. Lynch stages action around the color to keep it always in the memory of the viewers. The film opens with a sensuous scene of blue velvet fabric undulating on the screen, the theme continues from the background music to the clearly blue cigarette smoke issuing from the cigarettes of the characters, and in fact, Dorothy, the nightclub singer and sado-masochist, is known as "The Blue Lady" in her act."

Abstract
The paper outlines how in her essay, "Am I Blue?", Alice Walker writes about a beautiful white horse named Blue who is kept alone in a pasture next to a house she is renting. The paper explains that this story is an allegory of slavery and her theme is that animals have human qualities, but her personal fondness for this horse may have inclined her to sentimentality beyond what it actually possessed. The paper asserts that this does not really matter, for this gifted African-American writer offers such profound insights into the mysteries of this world that her compelling essays, short stories, and novels are not lessened by her creative enhancement of deeper, hidden truths that elude most of us until we reflect upon her themes, and begin to understand the deeper meanings she conveys through her characters, plots, settings, and symbolism.

From the Paper
"Photometric quantities such as luminance (brightness in cd/cm2 as perceived by a human "standard observer") and illuminance in lux (the "light" falling on a surface) indicate light levels spectrally weighted by the standard photometric visibility curve which peaks at 550 nm for the human eye. To quantify a photochemical effect it is not sufficient to specify the number of photons-per-square-centimeter (photon flux) or the irradiance (W/cm2) since the efficiency of the effect will be highly dependent on wavelength."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the painting, "Composition with Red Yellow and Blue" c. 1922 by Piet Mondrian and attempts to bring a sense of purpose to the painting and instill the reader with a sense of appreciation for the message that Mondrian imparts through his art. He concludes by examining the September 11th attacks in relation to Mondrain's art and contends that Mondrain would have regarded it as surreal.
From the paper:
"Mondrian believed that artistic expression should be found in the abstraction of form and color and that his use of vertical and horizontal lines would express the perfect harmony between these two extremes."

Abstract
The paper provides an analysis of Wallace Stevens' poem "The Man with the Blue Guitar". Specifically, the paper discusses the author's conception of poetry compared to classicism and to another trend of modernist poems. A copy of the poem is included at the beginning of the paper.
From the Paper
"Indeed, Wallace Stevens' work differs in multiple ways from Pound's. Stevens focuses mainly on the frontier that lies between imagination and reality. He believes that poetry is what humans do: the poet is aware of his role in society. This point of view over the authorial voice parallels some romantic concepts, a paradox since most modernist poets tended to escape from the formalism and ornament diffused by the romantic movement.

Abstract
This paper describes the painting, "Blue Bowl", and explains how the artist's use of contrast, line, and color in this painting create the balance and rhythm characteristic of Alexander's work.
From the Paper
""The Blue Bowl" contains several contrasting formal elements that contribute to its energetic nature. For example, a thick, black background competes with the woman's milky skin. The contrast enables her figure to jump out of the background, giving her lightness and freedom from an otherwise nebulous environment. Moreover, only part of her skin is exposed, from the nape of her neck and her upper back. The skin here is also far brighter than the skin on her hands and face, which remains in shadow. Most of the woman's skin remains concealed beneath the dress; like the contents of the bowl and the atmosphere of the room she graces, the bulk of her body is unseen by the viewer. The floral print dress jumps out of the canvas largely because of its color scheme. Just as her skin contrasts sharply with the dark background, so too does the ivory-colored dress, the piece of furniture she leans on with her left hand, and the background of the titular blue bowl."
