Colors elicit neural reactions that are completely involuntary. Through these reactions we start to feel things that we may not understand. Emotions and memories are triggered just with the sight of one color. Now imagine as many colors as possible, blurred together, blended and stroked in meticulous ways that are created to evoke those reactions and emotions that you feel when you look at them. The Art Museum of Philadelphia has always been a place of peace, a sanctuary, for me. There I connect with my ancestors through the stories they tell with no words. Most recently I was able to see the works of many great still life painters and artists. Many think that a still life is the remedial step of an artist. That every painter should be able …show more content…

This experience truly encouraged me to think in a way of what would my style be? I started to ask myself a lot of questions that are very relevant to any aspiring artist or art curator. Through the different way they used light, brush stokes, pen, pencil, canvas, paper, etc. they created a piece that truly defined them in that time of their lives. Whether the piece was created in an afternoon or over many years. Every aspect was completely thought through, or at least they appeared to be. Through the appearance that the paintings gave off of the thought out analyzations of the different aspects, the viewer is encourages to look at the different parts of the painting. This experience really made me think about what really needs to go into the paintings. It made me realize that sometimes like in some of the paintings the unfinished parts are really the most revealing. This is almost paralleled with us as human beings. It is almost always the unfinished or unrefined part of a person that creates that humanity that everyone looks for. It makes everyone feel comfortable because you are still on the same playing field. The same goes for art the unrefined parts reveal what it took to go from that part to some of the more finished parts of a painting. Through these different components of the paintings another can see what they need to do in order to get to where they may want 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.

    In every society nonverbal communication is one of the most powerful tools that a person can use to interpret the message that is being delivered. Even though verbal communication is fairly straightforward, nonverbal communication allows others to sense the true emotions of the person that is expressing them. For example even though a person may say that they are not irritated, their usage of voice may display otherwise. Nonverbal communication not only reveals hidden messages, but it also complements, substitutes, and exaggerates verbal communication.

    To conclude, both masterpieces provide a lot of food for thought and present an era of creativity that was accentuated with contrasting realities, one that is mindlessly racing forward, one that feels the urge to advance technically and become prosperous and rich just financially and another that's trying to put on the breaks and remind of the values that need to be preserved and passed on. In both paintings, one can see that torment, that urge to stop for a moment and reevaluate own life and collective journey in time.

  • A Comparison Of Pablo Picasso And Jackson Pollock?

    From the creation of art to its modern understanding, artists have strived to perform and perfect a photo realistic painting with the use of complex lines, blend of colors, and captivating subjects. This is not the case anymore due to the invention of the camera in 1827, since it will always be the ultimate form of realism. Due to this, artists had the opportunities to branch away from the classical formation of realism, and venture into new forms such as what is known today as modern art. In the examination of two well known artists, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock, we can see that the artist doesn’t only intend for the painting to be just a painting, but more of a form of telling a scene through challenging thoughts, and expressing of the artists emotion in their creation.

It has been said that the painting is in reference of the accident Frida Kahlo had where she got impaled by a metal handrail. The painting is of a bench with people sitting on it just before boarding the bus. This kind of artwork, where the artist puts a little bit of him/her self in it is something I strive for. I want to make art that reflects me, or that means something to me. I don’t want to make something just because, I want it to be where the viewer could possibly see the hard work, the passion, the emotion behind it. Things that most times get

    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.
