The first art element that I feel is one of the most important to the artist pertaining to this painting is the use of line. There is an undefined, invisible vertical line that goes from left to right where the mountains meet the
The subject of the painting is a depiction of a mountain landscape. Near the bottom of the picture plane in the foreground there’s a canal through the mountain side. If you look closely you can see someone in the water climbing up the rock. The overall theme of the piece seems to be very peaceful and exciting. Hassam uses a few visual elements of form to support his painting.
2), it has been created with the same materials as the previous work of art in which I discussed however it measures 244 x 244 cm. In this work of art, we are able to see two females standing still and facing towards the sunset as two older men are on opposite sides of them facing towards us. It seems as though this image depicts individuals who have just finished their workday based on the way in which they are dressed. It is evident that he puts forth some of the same techniques used in Iceberg Blues (Fig. 1) such as the images containing city people and the sunset landscape. Also, the individuals in this painting are not communicating with each other or making any eye contact perhaps because they also have different beliefs and cannot relate to one another.
The smaller boat shows the British reaching towards the Aboriginals. The tone of the painting gives no meaning or emotion, and there are no artistic or expressive techniques used in the work to convey meaning. The painting encourages us to see things from the perspective of the British. Despite being severely outnumbered they seem to remain in the position of power. They are displayed in a manner of prominence in comparison to the Aboriginals, depicted with more depth and detail.
The painting’s size alone does wonders to draw viewers
My chosen artwork is titled: “Coronado’s Expedition Crossing the Llano Estacado,” a 35 ½” by 57 ½” painting by Tom Lovell. This Oil paint on canvas was taken from the Petroleum Museum in the Permian Basin, Midland, Texas. This painting is remarkable in that the artist makes use of several element and principles of art in this artwork to contextualize the painting. The artist uses diagonal line, vertical lines, and implied lines to draw our attention to Don Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and his men and also to create a sense of movement and energy. The fold and fabric as well as the contour lines exhibit in the images of the horse clearly create a sense of movement to viewers.
The artwork that I chose was called Taos Cemetery, and the artist is Andrea Culver. The predominant art style of this work is photography. The Taos Cemetery is a portrait and it also deals with nature. In the photograph, we can tombstone, a sculpture of an angel, and a cross with flowers around it. We can also see nature in it, such as the sky, the mountains, and the green plants.
Behind him, another man is holding some instruments. In the background, there are waves of blue. At the left side of the painting, there are lightening bolts. At the bottom left of the painting, there is a board connecting the ground to the boats, allowing some animals to enter. Behind that, there is a person on a ladder, carrying an item on their back.
The painting I chose was Scene on the Catskill Creek painted by Frederic Edwin Church in 1847. Church was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a wealthy family. Also a student of Thomas Cole. Church settled in Hudson, New York with his family, which is what inspired him to paint many of the landscape paintings. Church took wilderness itself as his subject.
The main focus of the painting is the architectural aspect. The scene is dominated by the main building and the large arched bridge that juts out in front of it. It is proportionally placed within the canvas. The width of the central façade makes up the central portion of the painting with the doorway being centered within the entire composition.
The last significant illustration of a mockingbird is the black man Tom Robinson. Tom is a quiet and reserved person. Mayella calls Tom over as he is walking by because she is feeling lonely and desperately needs someone to converse with. Tom Robinson only goes to her because he feels sorry for her, His intentions were good; he meant no one harm. His only goal was to be kind and helpful.
For my final project I painted the scene, from the novel The Man Who Was Poe by Avi, where the ship The Peggy chases after a larger ship called The Sunrise. The painting illustrates a key scene from the novel. It is an action filled scene, with a bit of suspense, occurring on a stormy morning and it brings the story to its climax and brings resolution to the central mystery of the story.
Henri Matisse painted some pretty amazing pieces, my favorite being Goldfish. He painted this painting in 1912 using oil on a canvas. The painting uses bright contrasting colors, those being different pinks and greens. Bright orange goldfish form the centerpiece. Matisse painted Goldfish when he was inspired by a trip he had taken to Morocco.
There is no source of natural light in the picture, and the direction of the artificial light is indiscernible. When a viewer first looks at the painting, they see the cow and man observing each other. Then, a viewer will notice the finer details of the smaller cow being milked, the man with a scythe in the town, and the sapling being held by gentle hands. The colors in the foreground are whites and greens, while in the background there are darker tones of green and black. The lines are curved and overlapping, suggesting wrinkles and folds in the cow and the
The Irony of “Born in the U.S.A.” As the fireworks explode in the night sky to celebrate Independence Day, “Born in the U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen plays loudly for the audience to hear. As the men, women, and children bellow out the chorus proudly, they never seem to grasp its intended meaning. By studying the appeals and irony used in Springsteen’s lyrics, it is easy to see how Springsteen’s message of the poor treatment of Vietnam War veterans is misconstrued by millions of listeners into American pride. Springsteen’s intended audience is a group made up of mainly white, blue collar Americans-
