Everyone can be an artist in many different ways because all it takes is thinking outside the box and just letting everything come to you when you are painting. Anyone could be an artist by putting color on paper or drawing something, and people can really tell who a person is by looking at their artwork. I think his work is naturalistic because its nature and real life people do things like this outside. Overall he is a great artist he expressed his emotions and feelings by painting this artwork. When you look at it you should feel happy and joyful instead of sad and horrible. Artists create places for human purpose, and to create extraordinary versions of ordinary objects.

    There is a lot of repetition of the vertical lines of the forest in the background of the painting, these vertical lines draw the eye up into the clouds and the sky. These repeated vertical lines contrast harshly with a horizontal line that divides the canvas almost exactly in half. The background, upper portion of the canvas, is quite static and flat, whereas the foreground and middle ground of the painting have quite a lot of depth. This static effect is made up for in the immaculate amount of d...

  • Analysis Of The Mermaids

    The size of the painting is 34 3/8 x 45 3/4 in. (86.5 x 115 cm). The height in proportion to the width shows that the painting is not proportional but it is not far off from forming a perfect square. The frame does not cut-off any of the people in the painting. The composition is centered and zoomed in to show what is going on. The composition is not simple but it is not complex either. The composition is not geometrically ordered. The people seem to be free and in motion. There is asymmetry throughout the painting. In the organization of the painting the objects appear to be crowded. There is not a lot of space between the people who appear to be fighting. The shapes of the people show that the mermaids are fighting a big guy and the placement of them shows unbalance. There are a couple objects presents. A total of three mermaids are presents including a triton and some objects are in the background represented by shadows. The sizes of the objects in the center of the composition are big compared to the ones in the background. A lot of emphasis is present in the center of the painting. The forms of the mermaids and triton are volumetric and a nice scenery is present in the background. The mermaids and trition are formed by contoured lines. Some of the lines are sharp and defined to show the natural curves on the human body and there is blurred out lines in the water to show waves and movements. The lines help give the painting a realistic feel to it. The lines are active in the reflection of the water. The color pallet present in the painting is soft with neutral warm colors. Only a couple different colors were used and the red color on the mermaid stands out the most. The neutral skin color is dominant because it is the color mo...

    I can’t unveil any more of the plot without destroying the reading pleasure, but there is one thing you should carry back in your mind as you read the book; the painting is the main element which most of the story circles around. Style and technique etc (dot four) “There is something inhuman about the way he looks as he comes toward her with his head lowered and his hands hanging at his sides and the long muscles in his thighs flexing“. As an affectionate King fan I can assure you this is a typical Stephen King line. After all, he is the master of horror. Most recently I finished reading the King novel “The Eyes of the Dragon“, which I have chosen to refer to in this case.

    The painting express creative drive that they give form to immaterial ideas and feelings (this is relevant to abstract art). Since the author had mental health issues during the creative process of the painting I believe, he didn’t just used art and beauty themes to express his paintings, he wanted to show the world what he was feeling inside. Although, many people can view this painting’s major theme as Art and Beauty, I also viewed it as Art and Spiritual Belief. The reason why is because according to Sayre, Gogh wrote a letter to his brother by saying: “My paintings are almost a cry of anguish.” Gogh utilized a variety of colors on the spectrum, giving his paintings life. He often used the art style of Impressionists in that his paintings are depicted as he sees fit, and not how they are naturally viewed. His heavy brushstrokes and vivid colors portray the night sky as crazy and chaotic and the village below as peaceful and

    An artwork will consist of different elements that artists bring together to create different forms of art from paintings, sculptures, movies and more. These elements make up what a viewer sees and to help them understand. In the painting Twilight in the Wilderness created by Frederic Edwin Church in 1860 on page 106, a landscape depicting a sun setting behind rows of mountains is seen. In this painting, Church used specific elements to draw the viewer’s attention directly to the middle of the painting that consisted of the sun. Church primarily uses contrast to attract attention, but it is the different aspects of contrast that he uses that makes the painting come together. In Twilight in the Wilderness, Church uses color, rhythm, and focal

    Art has been around for as long as humanity has existed, and it is much more than just drawings or paintings. Art is what every a person makes of it. Art can be drawings, paintings, writings, or even dancing, but never is it contained to just one of those things. As we explore just two aspect of art it is important to realize that there is no right or wrong way to look at the art. Art comes in many different forms, in which they are all interpreted a little differently by different people. For me, when I read a poem I do not instantly know what the poet is trying to say and I don’t find it as interesting, but when I look at a painting so many more thoughts comes and I can’t help by imagine what that artist was thinking while he was painting.

    The painting is organized simply. The background of the painting is painted in an Impressionist style. The blurring of edges, however, starkly contrasts with the sharp and hard contours of the figure in the foreground. The female figure is very sharp and clear compared to the background. The background paint is thick compared to the thin lines used to paint the figures in the foreground. The thick paint adds to the reduction of detail for the background. The colors used to paint the foreground figures are vibrant, as opposed to the whitened colors of the Impressionist background. The painting is mostly comprised of cool colors but there is a range of dark and light colors. The light colors are predominantly in the background and the darker colors are in the foreground. The vivid color of the robe contrasts with the muted colors of the background, resulting in an emphasis of the robe color. This emphasis leads the viewer's gaze to the focal part of the painting: the figures in the foreground. The female and baby in the foreground take up most of the canvas. The background was not painted as the artist saw it, but rather the impression t...

The first is the piece’s vibrant colors, light blues and browns, bright greens, and more. The brush strokes that are very visible and can easily be identified as very thick some might even say bold. The furniture, the objects, and the setting are easy to identify and are proportioned to each other. There is so much to see in this piece to attempt to explain in only a few simple sentences.

    This painting is more realistic because of the way he painted the character and the scenery in this specific piece. I feel that there is no colour domination in the painting besides the fact that there are no modern colours for example like bright pink, neon green etc, because around that time they used more dull colours. What i really like about this painting that its very natural and easy to visualise because there are no patterns you need to follow or shapes that are put together to form this brilliant peace of work. I would say this piece has a variety of different texture from this big brush strokes to some fine detailing on the ares that stand out, for example i like how he blurs out the dog and how makes the arm of the man on the bottom part of the picture stand out that really makes the work different rather than it being all very clear or all very blurry. This painting was an oil canvas painting and its dimensions are 129.9 cm × 172.7 cm (51 in × 68 in). The work that is present is very detailed and was done over a long period of time i feel my work is a bit rushed and lacks a lot of precision .The figures and bottles add shape to the canvas and the overlapping of bodies gives a sense of space. Movement is achieved through the gesture and expression of the cast

    He made exquisite paintings like “The starring night”, and “The café Terrace on the pace du forum, Arles, at night”. The reason why I choose these 2 paintings is because it has a lot of meaning and it represents a lot of emotion as well. According to a website www.artble.com, explains how Van Gogh uses a lot of emotion and expression when he is painting “The starring night”, also many people think that his turbulent quest to overcome his illness is reflected in the dimness of the night sky in his painting. Furthermore, the village symbolizes unity in the town on the painting. The second Painting I choose was “The café Terrace on the pace du forum, Arles, at night”, the reason why I picked this second painting is because on how Van Gogh uses warm colors to depict a café in Arles. Also, I believe the reason why he painted that portrait was he wanted to show how the people are having a good time and having conversations with one
