Course learning objectives
In this course, we will build on your research knowledge and learn advanced research concepts to assist in developing an evidence-based practice. In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop a novel research proposal specific to your role specialization that includes an intervention appropriate to nursing practice. During this 11-week course you will learn the systematic process of problem solving and appreciate the manner in which nursing research validates and establishes an evidenced-based practice.

Representation of the Sea in the Paintings of J.M.W. Turner

Order Description

This is an in depth, scholarly research paper on the paintings and methods of J.M.W. Turner and his representation of the sea. The class this paper is for is called The Social World of Oceans.

Assignment: Give an account of the representation of the sea in the paintings of J.M.W. Turner.

J.M.W. Turner: His imagination was centered on shipwrecks, fires, natural catastrophes, and natural phenomena like sunlight, storm, rain, and fog. He was fascinated by the violent power of the sea.

Paper needs to do this:
-Look at what others have said about his paintings and of Turner?s methods.
-Needs lots of sources and most of these sources need to be scholarly sources.
-Needs a research question (which could possibly be: What is the significance of Turner?s use of light and water in his pieces of art?)
-The paper needs to say something new. It needs to contribute to existing knowledge on J.M.W. Turner. The paper is about more than just the literature it is addressing.
-The paper needs to have an argument.
-The paper needs to have a research question and a method and it needs to take note of what others are saying about J.M.W. Turner and his work.
-The paper needs to talk about studying visuals and how certain visuals give off certain messages or signals. The features that the artist puts into the visual contains their own true self. There is also difference in what the artist intended and of what other people read when they look at the painting. How do other people interpret and read the visual in front of them?
-The paper needs to talk about a select number of images (around 5-8) and discuss them. Talk about when they were created and why they were created. Describe the different things going on in the images. Then discuss J.M.W. Turner’s intention and how other people experienced the images and what they felt about them.
-Maybe take a look at online discussion forums about J.M.W. Turner and see what reactions are being said about him and his art. Look at these comments critically because it is sociologically interesting to look at comments.

Notes for research paper on J.M.W. Turner

Give an account of the representation of the sea in the paintings of J.M.W. Turner

Research Question: How is the natural beauty and power of the sea represented in the paintings of J.M.W. Turner?
-Look at what others have said about these paintings and of Turner’s methods

-Artist of the sea who had the ability to evoke a coastal landscape. He was an English romantic landscape painter and watercolorist, but he was also known for his oil paintings.
-His work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism
-He used highly expressive watercolors and also did oil paintings
-He was conventional in subject and technique
-He did many of his paintings with the focus of land and seascape
-His imagination was centered on shipwrecks, fires, natural catastrophes, and natural phenomena like sunlight, storm, rain, and fog. He was fascinated by the violent power of the sea as seen in Dawn after the Wreck (1840) and The Slave Ship (1840) ?Basically he was intrigued by the nature of the sea.
-He would put humans in his pieces because he had affection for humanity, but also he wanted to show the vulnerability of humans amongst the nature of the world. –He wanted to show the power of God in a natural, untamed world that no person could control.
-He played a lot with light on water and the radiance of skies and fires ?Although these were said to be impressionistic, Turner was going for an expression of spirituality in the world.
-He was very secretive about his methods and means of his watercolor paintings and especially of his many thousand sketches and drawings that he produced for his own purposes
-The subjects he depicted in his many handwritten annotations, drawings, observations in his sketchbooks were essential sources of information about the artist’s journey around Britain and Europe.
-He had a lot of unfinished works- oil paintings and watercolored pieces
-Pieces called Waves Breaking against the Wind, Seascape with Storm Coming On, Calm Sea with Distant Grey Clouds focused on an essential maritime motif –the wave.
-Turner attempted to capture the wave’s essence in countless of his sketches and how he viewed his seascapes.
-Other famous oils – Fisherman at Sea (1796) and The Shipwreck
-Turner created the visible action of the wind and the tide in his seascapes
-Some believe that Turner created these canvases over and over again because they had become the focus of deep self-reflection.
-He portrayed the true beauty and calmness of the sea in his paintings.  Each painting had a sense of tranquility and solitude.

-Say something new (your own contribution)
-More than just reading literature and making an argument around that
-Question and method – what have others said about the issue?
-Method-data and analysis
-Peer Review
****-Studying visuals — semiotics (world is full of signs, how you read what appears in front of you) —being conceived to give you certain messages or signals …..the features that the artist puts into the visual contains their own unique self/
-There is also difference of what the artist intended and what other people read. How do people read what is in front of them?
-Find images and select a certain number…..when they were created and why they were created
-And then describe the different things that are going on

–lots of scholarly work………. What is the significance of Turner’s use of light and water in his pieces –maybe this can be your research question
What is the message he is trying to tell
-Some intense and turbulent
-Steamship painting
-Something the way he puts the paintings
-Read some scholarship and more of a literature survey ////what do diff scholars say….looking at reactions in discussion forums about Turner***** But it is sociologically interesting to look at comments –look at it critically
-But keep man focus on sophisticated pieces

-Striking similarities between Turner’s paintings and Joseph Conrad’s novels in regards to Modernism.
-Turner’s paintings may have influenced Conrad’s prose.
-Faris looks at the seascapes of Turner and Conrad’s novels Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness as important precursors of a Modernist sensibility, of a major artistic shift in orientation from product to process, and this change involves a shift in functions of elements in these two aesthetic systems.
-Both Turner and Conrad reveal similar goals with regard to affective response.
-Andrew Wilton claims that Turner used color “to sway the emotions rather than to inform the mind”  (Faris 1989, 306).
-Impressionists or Post-Impressionists and the use of light even more than the use of color.
-Keelman Heaving in Coals by Night – the moon illuminates Turner’s scene and the source of light is in front of the audience. “The moonlight on the water makes a kind of passageway toward the back of the pictorial space” (Faris 1989, 307).
-A luminous atmosphere characterizes the scene. There is a haze and a mist.
