For this assignment I chose two paintings that captivated me: “Nothing I do is Ever good enough” and “Green Matisse Night Fish.” When I looked first time on these pictures they looked for me very different, but then I cached a connection between them. First of all, they were painted with the same technique and they both have some energy inside, you can’t catch it, if you just take a look on them, but if you look carefully, you can figure out that an author had the same feeling when he was writing them.
Well, first I would like to discuss “Nothing I do is Ever good enough,” because I guess that a writer spent on it more time, energy and inspiration. The different technique using impressed for me after the first look. I like very much using of pencil here, because it looks little bit carelessly, but I understand that everything in this painting have been weighted. The using of volume here is also very good, it makes a sense that a woman from this picture is trying to quit outside from the framework. Each part of this lady looks very interesting and very weird, but all they together make a very great work. Apart of this, I like colors a lot, they look like a rainbow, but all conception looks very serious, and I guess that this painting gives all the people a material to think about, everybody can find a part of himself inside of this body. This work combines several different types of characters on the same time: evil and good, love and loathing, obedience and revolt. As an example, you can watch on the ball which hanging from right hand. The ball looks pretty good but it hangs on the pencil which pierces the hand and for me it shows author feeling… If you look on the face of this woman you can find two feelings inside of it: plea...

...: “Mondrian Almost Got It Right” and “The Seattle Series”. Well, what about “Mondrian” for me it looks more as a plan of the flat, instead of emotionally high-meaning picture. I mean, this squares associate for me with rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. May be, actually this interfere me to see the main idea of this work, but this paper is about my opinion and my feelings, and this, is my conclusion about this work.
“The Seattle Series” is a series of small pictures, well I guess if somebody will connect them, they will look great, but in this variant they are too small, to provide any meaning.
So, in the conclusion I want to tell that actually the exhibition was pretty good, it helps me to find some answers on several questions, and to figure out new technique of painting, the level of each work is very high and I’m glad that I had a chance to describe them for me.
I chose to analyze the The Family, 1941 portray and The Family, 1975 portray, both from Romare Bearden, for this essay because they are very similar paintings but at the same time very different. To write a critical analyzes it was necessary to choose two different paintings that had similar characteristics. The text about critical comparison said that to compare things they have to be similar, yet different, and that’s what these paintings look to me. As I had already written an analysis of The Family, 1941 portray I chose to analyze and compare The Family, 1975 this time. Both works have a lot of color in it and through the people’s faces in the pictures we can feel the different emotions that the paintings are conveying.
different works of art influence one another. The article helps us see how all art is connected,
Ernie Barnes paintings had the same style from one another with each of paintings which made him a unique painter. However, Ernie Barnes created another painting which was called The Disco. The Disco has similar traits like the Sugar Shack while it has differences too. From observing the two pieces of art they are both great and has a story going on inside the painting.
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
I am positive that it is what makes this painting so powerful for me, the description of light and darkness at the same moment. Furthermore, I see on this painting the direct connection, or even equation, that shows people's thoughts and feelings about war. For me painting is clearly say : " War = Death".
In the Egyptian era there were many art forms that were done and sculpted. Seated Scribe is one of these Egyptians sculptures. It was done in 2400 B.C.E and was done in limestone by subtractive sculpting. The colors that are used in this sculpture are very plain and bland. You can notice that the color is wearing away at the sculpture because there are blotches where the paint has started to chip away. The sculpture is physically accurate of a middle-aged man because you can see the definition of the extra fat on his body and you can tell that he has some intelligence because of the way that he is presenting himself and that he is ready to write. The man is sitting on a square piece of stone and it seems as though he is about to jot a few notes down or write a letter. You can see that he is holding something that looks like a writing pad of some sort and you see his writing utensil in his left hand. The actual pose of the man is very stiff, very perfect. The Man is sitting with good posture and he does not let his back slouch one bit. It seems to be an uncomfortable position for the man.
When first approaching this work, one feels immediately attracted to its sense of wonder and awe. The bright colors used in the sun draws a viewer in, but the astonishment, fascination, and emotion depicted in the expression on the young woman keeps them intrigued in the painting. It reaches out to those who have worked hard in their life and who look forward to a better future. Even a small event such as a song of a lark gives them hope that there will be a better tomorrow, a thought that can be seen though the countenance by this girl. Although just a collection of oils on a canvas, she is someone who reaches out to people and inspires them to appreciate the small things that, even if only for a short moment, can make the road ahead seem brighter.
In this essay I will be discussing what, in my own opinion, makes good art. To justify what I consider to be a good standard of art, I will be analyzing the work of French symbolist Eugene Carriere and contrasting this with artwork I consider to not be 'good art'.
“Compare the ways in which the authors of the two texts convey ideas about art through their central characters?
...olour scheme used showed how much value was engaged in the style and material that were presented in the painting. In evaluating the chapter comparing to the painting the author felt that the beginning of the era the skill level was often not acknowledged whereas materials were, but at the end of the era, skill level played a larger factor in who was chosen to complete the artwork. Therefore, the significance of the applicability of the chapter to the fresco painting changed as a deposit of relations of the artist and art they created with there talent, style, and skills.
Jackson Pollack and Vincent van Gogh are some of most famous artist before and after their time. Each artist has a similar and different painting methods that they use when painting pictures. There most well-known paintings are called “Number 1” and “The Starry Night”. The paintings give off emotion by how they look, but each one is painted in different ways. The public did not find their paintings wanting when they were made. The difference was how long it took for them to get recognized for their work. Lastly, the paintings gave different and similar reactions to people that have changed over the years of their existence.
Social reformer, Henry Ward Beecher, once said “Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” This quote is perfect because it shows how no two artists can ever be the same, like my two artists for example, Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891) and Claude Monet (1840-1926). Both Seurat and Monet were impressionist European painters however they’re style and technique were very different. One painting Seurat is known for is A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884-1886). Monet on the other hand is known for many different works of art, but La Grenouillere (1869) is one of his bests.
The Mona Lisa is one of the most famous art works of all time by the Italian artist Leonardo Da Vinci. This portrait was done in oil and it is a piece that looks very real. On the other hand, “Wynwood’s Finest” is a well-known mural by Abstrk, who is an artist from Miami. This piece is graffiti on a wall and it looks more animated, fiction like, than the Mona Lisa.
Through time due to advancements in material and painting techniques combined with the ever-increasing talent of the artists, paintings representing people have become very lifelike and are extremely realistic. Some painted portraits have as much detail as modern photographs. However, there are also paintings of people that are representational in which the artist is trying to convey a message. This paper discusses the two types through the comparison of two paintings, Abaporu and Portrait of a Lady.
...form of the painting was replaced with a more rectangular shape. Another important aspect is the hierarchy of the depicted figures, which depends upon the spiritual wishes of priorities and affects the choice and positioning of figures. Most of these features, including the religious concerns, color scheme, shape composition and hierarchy are observed in the objects under analysis, which makes them parts of the stylistic movements of their time.
