JMW Turner uses the aspect of line when he drew the fisherman's pole along with the mast and the fishing pole hanging alongside the boat. The Tone in this illustration is quite dark because it is very late at night or early morning, in the foreground the wave is so dark that it is almost black, then in the middle ground the moon is shining over the boat in the centre along with the boat next to the boat in the centre, then in the background you can see a bit of land and trees . JMW Turner uses quite dark colours all around the painting and makes the moons light,to light up and to emphasise or to bring attention to the fishing boat in the centre as well as to the boat close by.

Hiroshige uses the element of line but drawing all of the trees, house, etc. The tone in this painting is not as plain compared to the other painting of Hiroshige, because there are many different colours all around the the painting. The colours that Hiroshige uses are: green, yellow, red, white, orange, black and brown. The texture of the land it very detailed because the trees in the foreground are very detailed with every leaf as well as all of the mountain and hills with all of its trees there, along with the houses in and out of the mountain. The sky is a yellow orange colour with a light of black at the top and then some white spots around the sides of the mountain along with some fog.

All three artists uses the lines in weird directions such as crisscrossing and diagonal placements in both artworks. In the Blue (Crest), used different tints of blue and Vertigo, used different tints of orange giving two different views of the artwork. The blue used in In the Blue (Crest) helped with portraying the feel of water and the orange just seems as a color placed in the painting of Vertigo, even though with the lines it helps represents the chaos in the picture. They both were similar besides the dimensions, In the Blue (Crest) did give a different feel since it was three dimensional than the two dimensional

In the story “Time of Wonder” the writer and illustrator Robert McCloskey creates a mesmerizing picture book. Throughout the book he relates his message to the reader of taking time to enjoy the weather and nature. Likewise, the reader is able to experience these events directly with phrases such as “IT’S RAINING ON YOU” (McCloskey 10). One event the reader is able to conjure up is the ocean in Maine with the taste of salt on their tongue.

He completed 18 painting before the king’s mental state of mind and suspicion questioned West’s political loyalties which ended the project. The colors that Mr. West used in the painting are dimmed and dull with the exception of a white gown worn by a woman in the center of the painting (I will elaborate on that later). The color palette that he choose I believe was to show that atmosphere of doom and gloom for the passing apocalyptic flood that just cleansed the land of sin. The brush strokes that make up the human figures are thin and almost invisible to the naked eye.

This helps to create a close up look at the view outside the window suggesting the intimacy between the artist and the habitat outside. This is because the focus is almost wholly given to the view outside the window. The view, which is embellished by the presence of flowers sitting on the windowsill, and creepers climbing on the railing, is located in the center of the composition. Despite the lack of a line of symmetry and any logic or geometric order, Matisse has been able to draw the attention of the viewer’s eye through the use of bright colours, almost fluorescent, which were used to portray the calm sea with its floating blue boats, and the sky tinted with the colours of the sunset. The calm sea at the horizon is painted with unreal tones of pink, sky blue, and violet whereas the boat, painted with tones of indigo, orange and green, seem to move along with the light breeze.

This artwork is Picasso’s “Night fishing in Antibes” made in 1993. It is oil on paint of a dimension of 6’9” and 11’4”.
