Art Analysis: Safely Contained Image: Scarface Artist: Miles Donovan This image is one of a series of four other paintings, all of iconic people. The image I am analyzing is of Robert De Nero as Scarface, an example of another of the images is Stevie Wonder. The image I am studying of Scarface is a computer generated image which was produced in Photoshop, the photo from a real shot in the film. The theme that is carried through the images is that they are all placed on a red background
Art Analysis Paper The first painting analyzed was North Country Idyll by Arthur Bowen Davis. The focal point was the white naked woman. The white was used to bring her out and focus on the four actual colored males surrounding her. The woman appears to be blowing a kiss. There is use of stumato along with atmospheric perspective. There is excellent use of color for the setting. It is almost a life like painting. This painting has smooth brush strokes. The sailing ship is the focal point because
understanding of what she prefers to call “social viewpoint, ” as opposed to “social realist,” prints by looking at them as multidimensional cultural artifacts. Her analysis is, therefore, informed by extensive research into the lives and/or politics of the artists who created the images included in the chapter, the social, political, and art historical milieu in which they were producing their works, and, ultimately, the reception(s) or potential reception(s) of the works by the different social groups
painter uses color and pose; in addition, both portraiture methodology and art portraits try to reveal who the subject of the painting or writing really is. They are not just about showing an object; they are trying to show the full person and who they are throw picture or narrative. We see now how art portraiture works and its history. Hence, we could conclude the differences and the similarities. The differences are that the art provides the works through drawing and painting, but methodology of portraiture
Prehistoric art ……. Figure 1-8 of the Bison painting on the ceiling shows two bison heads each about 5’2 ½” long, painted on large flat stones. The bison heads are facing each other and appear to be agitated and ready to attack each other. The animals are painted in red, black and yellow pigments, using the black to create a shadow and contour effect for the animals. The painter seems to have tried to make a 3-D effect because of these shadows and contour effect that makes the paintings distinctively
Fredrick R. Bernard once said “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which makes art a universal language that connects ideologies’ to an image, a sculpture, and architectural structures. This is one reason many churches, cathedrals, and other places of worship are adorned with many works of art that display discreet messages. The work of art being analyzed in this paper is one example of religious artwork. The Transfiguration (c.550-565), located in a monastery in Egypt uses design principles and
The title of the painting I chose to analyze is The City from Greenwich Village by John Sloan. This painting originated from the United States of America in 1922. Currently, the painting is at an exhibit in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The type of media is oil on canvas. The City from Greenwich Village effectively displayed the city of New York in the early 1920s in a way that captivates its audience. In The City from Greenwich Village, Sloan captured the heart of the city and
Aboriginal art is now being made as product for the Western Art Market and is a main export for many remote communities helping stimulate their economies and income for the individuals that live there. Indigenous art comes in a wide range of prices from mass produced prints and painted objects available at local shops to high end large pieces fetching prices in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Allas, 2010) Australia has a thriving tourism industry and in souvenir shops nationwide there are
The colour palette in this particular piece is another thing that I have picked up on, the use of a complementary selection of colors means that the image is easy to look at, but still provides enough of an impact to fit within the criteria of Dada art. The inclusion of collage and fragments of words give the image another level. The orange colour that Schwitters uses reminds me of rust, which makes use of old, and faded colours giving his work an antique feeling. The composition of this particular
Marine art is defined as any form of art that portrays the main inspiration from the sea. This piece of art has a three-dimensional line because it looks like the picture is in motion with the waves getting higher and higher, while moving the boat. The form of this picture would be the height of the waves that are sharpening at the tip, so sharp that if touched it looked like it would cut you. I think that the artist implied this into the picture because it shows how unbalanced things could be in
In Boca Raton’s Museum of Art, the piece that inspired me the most was Szilárd Cseke, Installation in Hungarian Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2015. “He constructs an entirely new site-specific installation. Since the mid-1990s, Szilárd Cseke has been creating installations that deal with themes of migration and identity assembled from found objects and ephemeral industrial materials with moving parts and neon lighting.” (Citation 1) Szilárd Cseke early life had a lot to do with how he is now successful
Creating art is an obscure thing to do because art is all around you. Everywhere you go, you see art. But when it comes to creating art, it gets a little complicated. You see art everywhere, but you don’t know how to create it, because you don’t know what makes something art. In my experience, art has many forms. It has different shapes and colors. For my painting class, I never knew what to paint. I can’t explain what art is, because art is such a big concept you can’t define. Many people see art differently
freedom to develop visual images on canvas or digitally with immune? Or should we limit what they say and how they say it through censorship? What is too much for the public and who decides? What's too explicit, too violent, or just too unnerving? Art inspires, provokes and even offends, but should it ever be censored? Merriam-Webster defines censorship as "the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and removing things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society
Art Formal Analysis Examining the formal qualities of Homer Watson’s painting Horse and Rider In A Landscape was quite interesting. I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because it was the piece I liked the least, therefore making me analyze it more closely and discover other aspects of the work, besides aesthetics. The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented
College Spring Creek campus Art Gallery. We viewed several pieces of art and chose five of them to review and share our opinions of the works with each other. I am glad that I got this experience and I feel that it has truly broadened my perspective of art and has helped me examine pieces and situations in a different way. Before going to the gallery, I expected to see a bunch of paintings of nature scenes and maybe a couple of portraits. This is a misconception about art in our society today. A lot
Not every piece of art requires a group to accomplish it. However, digital art usually involves multiple people who are either visually or technologically skilled. For example, a video game calls for technical proficiency along with visual components. GAMMA and Capstone allows students to venture into the video game work by collaborative team work. It is not necessary for every member to be professionals in both the technical and visual fields but it is critical for them to have an understanding
Think of this activity as reproducing art. Art inside a museum and art projected from a computer screen are different (Berger 31). The interpretations between original and reproduced works are different as well. Berger describes in his book the bias of seeing what we only want to see. What a person sees is highly dependent on what that person knows (8). In relation to this, Berger also criticizes the originality and reproduction of art in the aspect of we only see art on what we know about it (31, 33)

Hill’s 3D Pavement Art (n.d.) of the intricate wall expresses the relationship between environmental manipulation and human observation. When walking by this art piece, either many will glance, unconcious of its idealism or will stop and analyze the disturbing truth that the wall is only an illusion. Upon reacting to this image, it is essential to understand that the truth does not transform one’s reality until one’s mind recognizes the complete truth. Similarly, idiopathic scoliosis represents the
investigate how a specific type of art reflects its social content in contemporary societies. My analysis is carried out by closely looking at the Pop Art movement, especially with Andy Warhol, who has come to be known as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It will be argued that Pop Art managed to successfully articulate its time, and in so doing, it became a widely influential art movement whose effect is still very much existent in today’s world of art. In order to prove its claim, this
