This painting was taken to reflect the battle of Arab horsemen. The artist was less interested in portraying a pictured corresponding to visual reality than in addressing artistic, compositional, and formal concerns. The advanced complex of the figures and horses together in combat and the sheer delight in the skill of handling paint are the focus of the work. The artist's focus on a moment of intense emotion rather than descriptive narrative action makes the work a noteworthy expression of romantic sensibility. Despite the work's purely artistic concerns, the subject matter was to inform the viewer how brutally it was during the colonial conquest and occupational reflecting the often-bloody scene. This latter element becomes almost painful when one takes into consideration. I have been through art and visualize the technique of a good painter and learned how to apply the perfect technical skills; in addition, to me it's like following a routine. Art painting to me is about expression, feeling, and everyone has their own technique and style. This kind of art reveals the feeling of the artist that he would only put it in painting through the elements in that artist and the work are one. That is what makes it moving, you feel the artist through the work, like he just finished painting it yesterday. Art painting is most definitely subjective, connecting with the piece most often than not as in deeply personal matter; however, personal reactions do not make anything better or anything worse. Throughout the decade there have been plenty of pieces of art that are shocking, appalling, and creating a quite negative reaction, yet they are great works of Art painting. Moreover, there are pieces of painting that are quite ... ... middle of paper ... ...le, adjacent colors on the color wheel are similar shapes. The major contrast in a painting should be located at the center of interest. Too much contrast when spread throughout the painting can destroy unity and make a work difficult to look at. Unless a feeling of chaos and confusion are what you are seeking to deliver. The viewer's eye is drawn round the painting by the individual life and energy of the elements as movement. The horses have to move on different direction to present the impact of war while others are hanging up their legs and the soldiers crisscross their hands with swords. Properties that are repeated, usually with slight modifications, or in different elements, give emphasis and unity to a work. Rhythms are repetition of elements, but at some constant interval are more difficult to achieve than repetition, but more powerful.

After walking around The Timken Museum of Art, paintings started to look indistinguishable making ancient artist paintings battle for my absorption of attracting my eyes to glimpse intently at their art work. Much less, before running off, an intensely hued oil painting capture my attention. It read, The Piazzetta at Venice. Luca Carlevarijs made this outstanding painting which illustrated realism with every brushstroke that was imprinted into the painting. Lighting gleam from the south and brighten the streets of venice as workers sold their crafts to others. On left of the painting, laid the library of Sansovino. Clouds originated slightly bringing an ash color to the top right hand corner of the painting. Birds flew freely to the south in between the clouds. Two dog stood calmly in front of the column of Saint Theodoric. To the right , Carlevarijs illustrated the beauty of the south side of Saint Mark’s Basilica. Lucas Carlevarijs compose this dire painting to make people feel as if they were there to feel the warm of the sun on that beautiful afternoon. Carlevarijs archive this e...
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 is a language of its own and with out he proper understanding, people are like expression goes “left on the outside looking in”. In other words, people without the proper understanding of art, technique and form as well as other elements can’t appreciate a work of art as much as when you understand why an artist painted in the way they did and what they are trying to get across to his audience. Despite artists attempts to try and make their works as viewer friendly as possible, without the understanding and knowledge gained from an art class as this one people will never fully understand the a work of art as it is meant to be.
Unlike science, art is subjective. The artist leaves behind a part of himself in his work. Therefore, each piece has its own distinct perspective. Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits show her view on her life, on how she has faced so many struggles, yet managed to be a strong person. When we see or hear or read an artistic creation, it produces a mood such as calm or loud, fear or safety. For example, the Eiffel Tower gives Paris a majestic awe; everyone who passes by feels the strength of the 113-year-old grand structure. Art also has a texture. Photographs reveal much through their textures; grainy surfaces often make the picture more realistic while smooth ones seem softer. When we hear a piece of music or see a film, a rhythm carries us from one part to another. Not just true for these two genres, rhythm is present in any artistic work. These few properties are characteristic of everything we encounter in the world of art, the world of human expression. Most have other special features also. Most of the time, though, we do not think about these characteristics because we do not have enough time to pay attention to anything for more than a few seconds.
It is art fulfilling its role in society. It is art that brings the moral issues. It is art that makes us human.
In terms of colours, the white colour dominates in this painting. It signifies purity, freedom and change. In the past the rulers have dominated over the people but now the prevailing power is in the hands of the peasants. The large green leaves, echoing the horse`s mane in the painting symbolise the revival of the human mind and notify of the arriving change in people`s lives.
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...
If I were to ask you what is art, and how can one find it? What would you say? Well if it were me being asked those question, I would simply say that art to me is a form of a picture; a visual painting or model of some design and it could be found all among us. You may define it differently only because art could be defined in many ways. I could simply say that art to me is a form of a picture; a visual painting or model of some design. Well according to an article written by Shelley Esaak, an art history expert she mentioned that art has a way of stimulating different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. She also mentioned that art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves. [1]
Where do you imagine the painting was, say, between 1803 and 1890? Why do you think Vreeland places the painting in periods of history reflecting so many atrocities?

The painting was done by artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze. This was one of the best paint I came a cross in the museum as it helps to understand the Art work in painting. When we look the elements and principle of arts, are well presented in the painting. The first element we see is the Perspective; this the way in which artists create something that deceives the eye or mind on a horizontal level and relatively smooth. For decades, painters have tried to represent the real scene that existed in three dimensions on canvas. In addition, to create this perspective is to make the objects that are far away smaller than those that are closer to the viewer. The other way painter use to give depth to the painting is the sailor on the left who is digging his oar into mass of floating ice. Moreover, the soldiers in the distance appear to be smaller than the ones in the forefront boat that help the viewer to understand that the boat is nearer. The standing sailors in the middle of the boat are surrounded by light. This result keeps our attention of interest on the main aspects of the historic event: that founding father George Washington would become the first president and this event would culminate in the country's separation from the colonist represented by the American flag. Dark colors can often convey a sense of mystery or foreboding Light colors; and Intensity describes the purity or strength of a color. Undiluted bright colors are often associated with positive energy and heightened emotions.
Throughout history art has presented itself in many different forms. Two forms of art are poetry and paintings. William C. Carlos’ poem “The Dance” paints a picture while Pieter Brueghel’s painting “Peasants’ Dance” tell a story. The odd thing is that both the poem and the painting have many similarities as well as many notable differences. Tone, image, and imagination show the many similarities and differences between William C. Williams’ poem “The Dance” and Pieter Brueghel’s painting “Peasants’ Dance.”
Art is an expression of feelings, body language, and culture produced by humans. Art can be expressed in many different ways, and in many different forms from time to time! You’d be amazed with the different types of skilled work artists come up with each day and it’s all just someone, one person expressing how they feel or what they believe. One form of art that I find very interesting is Fauvism.
Artist way of thought is different than the average designer. Artists usually try to develop a work of art with the intention of bringing an emotion viewpoint, instinctive feeling, and or state of mind. If someone has visible talent in the art field, it usually comes down to a natural born ability. When dealing with artist you have to understand their mentality. The artist mentality comes down to the artistic skills and abilities that the artist is born with. Everything the artist creates flows out naturally from their abilities they were born with and not just their abilities that they were trained...
To me the painting is a way of showing you what everyone else is seeing. That the painter had the men looking right at each other so they can see themselves running away. In turn I got to see myself doing the same thing and was able to change because of it. When other people look at the painting they probably see something else. That is why I choose to do the painting, it gives you the choice too interpret it any way you see fit. Or it can just be a beautiful painting to look at, but the painting was so much more to me. It painted a thousand words for me.
