Hanson took an interest in Grygo’s methods of creating art, and began to make his own sculptures out these same materials (Wainwright). He began making his life-sized sculptures in the late 1960’s, and first gained recognition for his tableaux figures, which would often represent
The woman portrayed in the statue is seen seated in a stiff upright posture and is very stylized; it has a round face, long curls, large eyes, a small mouth, big eyebrows and big feet. The proportions of the statue are also off, the statue’s body is elongated while the feet are big and the head
Nina Irwin is a Kansas City artist, globally known for her watercolor landscapes and ceramic pieces. She has had many shows across the country, and several overseas as well. Originally hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Irwin’s family moved to Kansas City when she was six. As the child of two successful artists, she was surrounded by art throughout her childhood, but did not pursue it as a career until her mid-twenties.

Edgar Degas’ The Singer in Green, and Jan Vermeer’s the Milkmaid were created out of two different mediums, but also feature active women. The Singer in Green is a beautiful drawing done on light blue laid paper, with pastels. Even with a use of pale colors, Degas was able to make a vibrate image.
The Art is what significantly differentiate us from the other
The primary focus of ancient greek sculpture was that of the human body. The idealism of physical perfection was embodied through many aspects of Greek culture. Although the Greeks produced monumental statues of both men and women, there is an undeniable differentiation along gender lines. To the Greeks, men represented the ideal physical form they were seen as objects of beauty and furthermore often became disproportionately subjects of art and sculpture as artists strove to recreate the perfect human form in their works. Through a study of this complex form, the Greeks made significant advancements in proportions and depiction of motion while developing the human form to be depicted as more realistic.
Born in San Francisco, California, Tim Hawkinson, 55, is a sculptural artist who currently works and resides in Los Angeles, California. Interestingly, there exists no single medium in particular that Tim employs in his works; rather, with a widely diverse variety of found, purchased, or created materials and components, each creation he builds is its own unique statement, each one a separate experiment in material study and fabrication. There are, however, several common themes that run through the majority of his pieces, in addition to the splash of flavor that is his own unique style and artistic methods. Often, Tim’s works are somewhat anatomical in nature; that is, a reflection of not simply the human body but also the essence of human
Her artworks often take the ordinary and make it into an almost dreamlike
The appealing factor of this paintings comes from its message and juxtaposition of colours and stroke
The painting has a light and smooth finish to finish to it, and at the same time the bold outlines of the male figures appear like a sketching. Little detail compared to the woman in the center of the canvas. The clouds are dark and made with
Egley was able to utilize depth in order to render a work that appeared smaller as the observer’s eye moved from the foreground to background. The lines in this painting point toward one single point system as Egley created a perspective work of art by scaling the figures. Even the colors help guides the eye
Claude Heath (b.1964) is an artist with a unique eye to art. While not blind himself, Heath has developed a skill of not seeing what he draws to allow for a mess of lines just barely forming the shape of an object, but still allowing the viewer to understand the form of the object. A contemporary artist, Heath originally started out drawing blindfolded, enjoying creating with the sense of touch instead of sight. This became his influence, to obtain a relationship with the object by just touching, and establish this relationship into his work For his art piece simply titled ‘Buddha’ Heath has uses 3 different coloured biro pens to produce layer to his art: Black, Green and red.
The bodies are not mimed perfectly and are twisted. When looking at this piece there is a sense of desperation. To be able for humanity to see its flaws, Orozco uses mastery of movement and color in his murals. At time his art can give off an eerie feeling due to his use of expressionism. The size alone of the work he did at Dartmouth is incredible.
For this assignment, I chose to analyze "Thinner Than You," a piece by Maureen Connor in 1990. I chose to analyze this piece as it was the one I found most relatable throughout the chapter. " Thinner Than You" is simply a display of a hanger holding an evening gown that is cinched at the waist to impossibly thin proportions. This piece is an example of artwork that is about the body but does not actually depict any body parts.
