Recommended: Digital media vs print media

I like the picture Touch by Janine Antoni on page 81. The first element to describe this picture is its form. Its form is a video snapshot and not a painting. The texture element of this picture is a TV screen or paper and ink from a printer. The clouds give the realistic texture of moisture as well as the ocean the texture of water. The color element in this picture is lots of blue in the sky and water. It has blue-green in the water. There is brown in the sand. There is white and gray in the waves and clouds. The space element is open to where the viewer knows there is more to this picture especially on the right and left. The line element in the picture is the horizon and the tight rope the woman is walking together in the same direction.

  • Analysis Of Nicole Krauss 'The Young Painters'

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    “A hidden weight seemed to attach itself to simple objects—a teacup, a doorknob, a glass—hardly noticeable at first, beyond the sense that every move required a slightly greater exertion of energy”(187). In Nicole Krauss’ short story, “The Young Painters”, Krauss brings across the idea of guilt swallowing the narrator because of her decision to steal a frightening story told to her by a dancer and recreate the story and publish it as her own work. In the first scene, the author encounters a captivating painter in the dancer’s home which she later discovers has a intense backstory. She later publishes the story as her own but adds a happy twist to deemphasize the horror of the original story. In the second scene, after an odd encounter with

  • Analysis Of The Old Stagecoach By Eastman Johnson

    880 Words  | 2 Pages

    The work that I have chosen to talk about was “The Old Stagecoach by Eastman Johnson.” This work would be considered a painting. The images that are shown in the painting are a old stagecoach as the name of the painting suggest. The stagecoach does not have any wheel and so it just sits on the ground. There are also a bunch of children that are portrayed playing inside and on top of the stagecoach. The colors that are used in this painting are all realistic, this is very important because it portrays what a warm summer day would like on a farm. There are a lot of different colors such as bright green grass and bright colors for the clothes that the children are wearing. There a quite a few principles are elements that are used in the painting. One of the first principles that I noticed was the emphasis of the stagecoach. It appears in the center of the image and is definitely the main focus of the image. The children in the image are definitely important to the painting to show how much the they enjoy the stagecoach. There is also a good use of variety in the colors used for what each child is wearing which also brings interest to the painting.

  • Analysis Of Frederic Edwin Church's Twilight In The Wilderness

    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

    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.

  • Analyzing Horace Pippin's Domino Players

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most important element is color because it shows the families race and it represents their moods. The author contrasted color and value by adding vivid colors to the most important items and value to depict the mood .Other elements that are included are form- to show the dominos, line- to show emphasis on the objects but he has also used shapes to show how the room is decorated. Space is also depicted to show the setting and the room. In the artwork lines are not the dominant elements but they play a role to show the shapes. The mark making tools were used to depict a particular look of the family. Texture has been used to show the realistic objects so they are actual textures. Light is used to show the mood of the illustration which looks bored and gloomy. The three most important design choices Horace Pippin made while creating this artwork were form, space and

  • Brave New World Art Analysis

    1214 Words  | 3 Pages

    Art provokes oneself to express a feeling that one has encountered in their lifetime and allows the artist to display their masterpiece for an observer to connect to. Artist Berthe Morisot once said, “It is important to express oneself… provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience”. With the usage of movements, hues, sounds, shapes, or methods articulated in words, an artist can communicate his or her beliefs by making emotional connections to their audience. Art allows individuals to express themselves in creative ways that can bring many individuals closer by having a connection. In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, nearly everyone is conditioned in the modern world to show the impact of what art can influence

  • Analysis Of One Art By Elizabeth Bishop

    970 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the poem “One Art” the thesis statement declared in the first stanza, on the first line as “The art of losing isn’t hard to master” also repeating it again in line 6 and 12. The statement is better interpreted as “The skill of losing is not hard to attain”. Bishop speaks in the poem as if she has successfully mastered the skill of losing. She also goes around in circles admitting that the art of losing is not hard to master as if that is what she is making herself believe is true. She is also helping the reader create a habit as the reader reads and repeats the refrain of “The art of losing isn’t hard to master” not to mention the line 4 where she tells the reader to make it a habit to, “Lose something every day”.

  • 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

  • The Card Players: William Sidney Mount and Francis Criss

    William Sidney Mount and Francis Criss both used several elements and principles to capture the essence of each of their oil paintings. Each artist chose specific elements and principles in order to give the piece of art the effect that they wanted the viewer to see. While each artist painted a different setting and story, some of the same aspects were used to create both pieces of art. There are also differences that set them apart and make each painting a truly unique work of art. Each specific element and principle including linear aspects, focal point, value, and motion that is used by the artist in either The Card Players or City Landscape has the purpose of guiding the viewer through the artwork.

Through the use of repetition, contrast of imagery, and symbolism, Rossetti guides us through the gallery inside of an artist’s mind, portraying the fantasies that give him a sense of control over the women he creates.
