This paining by Edward Hooper is of a lady sitting on a bed in a hotel room wearing nothing but just a shirt. The painting has bright colors like yellow and red but they do not bring life in to the painting. instead they push more focus on to the shadow in the canvas and the dark green couch that set the depressing look in the image. The women sitting on the bed is slouched over as if she is exhausted. There is what seems like a soldiers’ helmet sitting on the shelve on the right. The lady who is the focus of this piece has a book in her had but from the way its slouched over at the tips of her fingers the viewer can identify that she is not interested in it. There are two suitcases on the floor that seem unopened however her pants seem to

    Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to

    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.

  • Franz Marc: The Art Of Art, Art And Art

    Although his career was cut short by his early death, Franz Marc had a tremendous impact on the various Expressionist movements that would evolve after World War II. After early experiments with naturalism and realism, Marc later eschewed those styles in favor of the greater symbolic potential of abstraction. Franz Marc was born in Munich, Germany on February 8, 1880. His father, Wilhelm Marc, was an amateur landscape painter. Under the influence of his artistic father, Marc's artistic talent was evident from a young age, but he did not decide to pursue a career in painting until after completing his military service.

  • The End of Painting by Douglas Crimp

    1254 Words  | 3 Pages

    In existential thought it is often questioned who decides what is right and what is wrong. Our everyday beliefs based on the assumption that not everything we are told may be true. This questioning has given light to the subjective perspective. This means that there is a lack of a singular view that is entirely devoid of predetermined values. These predetermined values are instilled upon society by various sources such as family to the media. On a societal level this has given rise to the philosophy of social hype. The idea of hype lies in society as the valuation of something purely off someone or some group of people valuing it. Hype has become one of the main driving forces behind what society considers to be good art and how successful artists can become while being the main component that leads to a wide spread belief, followed by its integration into subjective views. Its presence in the art world propagates trends, fads, and limits what we find to be good art. Our subjective outlook on art is powered by society’s feedback upon itself. The art world, high and low, is exploited by this social construction. Even when objective critique is the goal subjective remnants can still seep through and influence an opinion. Subjective thought in the art world has been self perpetuated through regulated museums, idolization of the author, and general social construction because of hype.

  • Imagery In Larkinesque, By Ryan Michael

    247 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the poem Larkinesque by Ryan Michael, the use of contrasting imagery exemplifies the drastic differences between how attractive people are treated versus those seen as unattractive. For example, the speaker uses the phrase “bloody noses” when describing his experiences as undesirable. These words have a violent connotation and provide an unappealing image. Furthermore, the idea that someone received bloody noses indicates that they were too weak to defend themself, and weakness is not considered appealing. Overall the idea of blood and pain causes the reader to feel uncomfortable. In contrast, the speaker uses the phrase “steel jawlines” to bring a positive image to mind when describing attractive people. The metal steel is strong, so by

    I have dreamt of being a teacher since I was old enough to place my stuffed animals around me and teach them scribble on my little chalkboard. My vision of myself as a teacher has not changed one bit since I was young, and that is because of Miss Honey. Miss Honey is a character from the book and movie Matilda, written by Roald Dahl. She was truly my inspiration to become a teacher because of the impact she made on her students’ lives. In my eyes, she was the kindest, most compassionate, and wonderful human being to ever exist (in the fictional world, of course.) That is exactly how I wish for my future students to see me.

  • Art Analysis Of The Survivors, By Kathe Kollwitz

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    The artwork I chose for the art criticism project was ‘The Survivors’ by Kathe Kollwitz. The piece was created in 1923 in Berlin, Germany, where she resided with her husband. She and her husband resided in a poorer area, and it is believed to have contributed too much of her artwork style. ‘The Survivors’ is currently displayed in two museums, the MoMA and the Kathe Kollwitz Museum. In the piece there is a woman directly in the middle, with sunken in cheek bones is draped in a black cloak. Her arms are around three small children, who look very frightened. On each side of her body there are an additional four small children who convey sadness upon their innocent faces. Also, they are outstretching their arms as if they are begging for her to give them something. In the background, on the top left side, there are two elderly men with their heads down, looking as if they are very sad and

  • Roman Art Essay

    804 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many similarities and differences between Classical Roman and Early Christian Art. What particularly stands out to me is how much these two cultures have in common when it comes to their art and architecture. Romans were geniuses when it came to engineering and we can see that in the monuments they left behind. Many early Christian architectural styles and ideas were adopted straight from the Romans. Their communities became organized geographically much like those of the Roman provincial governments. Christian cultural styles derived straight from Roman visual traditions. Early Christian art features the adoption of Roman art forms for Christian purposes. Their art also featured recycling of images and sculpture to be used as early representations of Christ.
