which was a deep sea diver sketch, I was able to see improvement in my sketching skill already and that the problems I had been facing had been fixed. Upon giving myself time to contemplate my mid way design, I felt more confident in my sketching, but felt that it still needed some work as it was lacking something. My sketches were missing depth to them, they were always of a few things next to each other, there was no feeling of depth to my sketches. To improve upon this aspect of my drawing; I researched

After that I spend hours practicing my art skills, drawing, painting, eventually graphic design. I have grown up drawing this little monsters I had created. I would draw one like and base my monster based of that. My best friend and I would come up with thing that would end up looking really cool. As time
fades away, and I never know where it will take the drawing, often surprising even myself with the final outcome. Similarly, I often have no plan when I sit down to experiment with sounds on the piano, an instrument I have played and enjoyed for years. The keys, physically, are black and white. They feel cold and hard to my touch; yet they help me unwind. As I sit down to play, my shoulder blades relax in my back, I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and my fingers begin to float across the keyboard

At the age of seventeen Kollwitz moved to Berlin for a year of study at the ‘Künstlerinnenschule’ (‘School for Female Artists’). There she was influenced by one of her teachers, Karl Stauffer-Bern. Kollwitz wanted to paint, but her teacher directed her again and again to take up drawing. He encouraged her to
A pen and a pencil are not merely tools used to create something, it’s a barrier between the actual artists and their work; stated an artist called Brent Sommerhauser. One of his artworks is called “Arch,” and it technically wasn’t even created by him; Sommerhauser created a machine that produced what he calls “Arch.” The machine was a vacuum like cylinder that would create a small wind storm inside the cylinder when activated. Sommerhasuer would tape paper on the inside of the cylinder and would

turning part of the U shape and enlarged it. In order to achieve the tenderness of the material on my drawing, I used tissue to blend the areas so the gradual change from light to dark was successfully completed. I also found that when I made the shadow part really dark and the light part really light, the three-dimensional vision was represented strongly. Although the mood of this drawing was soft, I still slightly regret that the folding was too simple. I selected an area from the chalk
The Woman Behind Cleopatra, by William E. Wallace, is an article about Michelangelo’s famous Cleopatra drawing. The article also looks at the drawing on the reverse side that is called grotesque by many; why the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston included it in an exhibition of the masters, and Michelangelo’s relationship with Tommaso de’ Cavalieri. Wallace is a Professor of Art History at Washington University in Saint Louis and the author of the book, Michelangelo: The Artist, the Man, and His Times

The greatest accomplishments in engineering history and form to never exist. This drawing is a drawing is a depiction of that reality being presented. The unfortunate part about this, it was true for Florence to experience a dome-less cathedral in any type of weather before the contest for a commission that Brunelleschi won. During the time
I have chosen to compare two paintings by Pablo Picasso. The first painting, Garcon a la pipe, was made in 1905. It measures 100cm by 81.3 cm and it translates to “Boy with a pipe”. The second painting, Le Reve, was made almost thirty years later by Picasso. It measures 130cm by 97cm and translates to “The Dream”. Both paintings were made using oil on canvas, but have significantly different styles. Using oil on canvas is a particularly popular choice for many artists. The use of oil based paint

me angry. Angry because my interpretation of this passage brought back a lot of memories of events that I have had to deal with in my educational "career". There were two sentences, in particular, that really ticked me off. The first was: If a drawing instrument is put in the child's hand, that child will almost instinctively use it to draw--a "skill" that no one has imparted or transmitted to the child. The second was: The child must be exposed to language in order for him or her to acquire
The Ghost’s Appeal: Man’s Interest in the Superficial in Toulouse-Lautrec’s At the Moulin-Rouge Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous painting, At the Moulin-Rouge, combines striking coloring with abnormal lighting to create a work that addresses men’s superficial interest in women. The dark scene depicted in the painting includes ten people scattered about a restaurant. In the center, two women and three men sit casually around a table while the background portrays two men and a woman peering into
The artwork that I picked out was by Edgar Degas Interior. It was created between 1868–1869 and can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I picked this artwork because when I took Intro to Art in my freshmen year this artwork appealed to me because of its mysteriousness and agitation. When I looked at other works of arts by Degas I found this one very striking. There are no clear clues or answers to the questions that are raised when one looks at this work by Degas which makes it very unique
and verbal language. In contrast, qualitative participatory methods such as drawings, timelines, vignettes and narratives encourage children to freely express their emotions, feelings and ideas. Thus, through self-participatory methods children’s needs could be understood better, quality of care can be reoriented and further improved. In the past, few authors have assessed children’s anxiety, fear and behavior using drawings and narratives.1, 2-4 Pond, in 1968, found stories concerned with pain, blood
Albert Bierstadt has mostly painted landscaping or valleys. All his paintings were oil canvases; his canvases were huge and have dramatic colors like green, blue yellow and etc. He was born in Germany and moves to Massachusetts were he did some of his paintings. Later on, he then moved back to Germany and went to the Royal Academy for landscaping painters with Andreas Achenbach and Karl Friedman Lessing. The group travelled together and painted some views. They also went with Albert Bierstadt and
changes in the history of art have occurred with religious values and related to royal blood. The artistic genius of Peter Paul Rubens has impacted the development of the Baroque art. The prolific works from Rubens included many paintings, prints, and drawings. Thus, made Rubens one of the greatest Flemish artists during the seventeenth century. And they were very known to the Catholic church and the royal influences around Europe. But most of the time of his artistic career, he painted for his own pleasure
Peter Paul Rubens’ masterpiece, Venus and Adonis, is not only a significant artwork of the baroque-period in Europe during the 17th century, but it also tells the mythological story that begins with love, and ends in tragedy. Displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this painting is admired for representing the unique baroque-style of this era, as well as Rubens’ particular use of the medium and how it reaches those who are viewing it. His attention to detail and crafty use of symbolism within
Paintings are an effective art form; political conflict has been the theme of innumerable paintings. A subtle analysis of them would reveal the microscopic but penetrating traces of reconciliation attempts. The value of such paintings depend not on the painter or its historical value but on its depiction of a specific and a conflict-oriented universal subject matter: convincing the calamity of the conflict and inviting the beholders to walk away from it. Pablo Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ is a painting of
