The lines are everywhere from the ground up to the sky. The upper part of the piece is the lighter color, a tint of yellow, compare to the lower part which is dark. In the middle of the sky, Dunigan uses the dark blue color that draws attention to the viewer’s eyes.…
For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…
Also, if you look very closely at the painting, you can see some brush strokes that the painter made. I like that because the viewer can see how thick the paint is and how you move onto the canvas. Lastly, I like how there is light around the top of the painting. I love how the artist used different colors and shades. This art piece goes very well in my family's dining room, in my opinion.…
Howard works in very thick layers. She separates colours and leaves crisp definition between each stroke. Here it seems as though she has used a tool such as a knife or card, and has dragged the paint across the page. She has also picked out undertones such as purples, greens and oranges and has intensified these colours and made them really stand out. She manages to do this without overpowering the reflections and water like look.…
The artist that peeked my interest the most within the, Art 21: Time video was Paul Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer appears to me as a man who understand the significance of his surroundings. Like myself Pfeiffer is attracted to events that bring in a crowd like sporting events, he works on showing the relationship between objects, what is around the object, and what role the object plays where it is. Pfeiffer even believed of himself as a translator not an author, meaning that what he is showing in his art isn’t his own he is recycling these materials, and displaying them in his own perspective, which I believe is very humble of him to admit.…
Personally, I relished the exhibition because I came to learn a lot out of it about culture. I additionally do hope that other people would have definitely gained something out of the event. All of us after the event will find a substantial reason to appreciate our cultures and retain…
The second work I chose to write about is The Genius of the Dance (Le genie de la danse) by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. I knew nothing about the subject matter of this work before visiting the museum, but I was very attracted to the beauty of it. The Genius is designed to be taken apart in certain places that are held together by pins. The separate parts were molded and cast, then joined by hand, and the seams were then covered by extra metal. The drapery gives the effect of movement, or dancing. The Genius of the Dance is a reduced version of The Dance with the same central figure. Also, Carpeaux got a lot of hate for the female nudity in The Dance, so he excluded them in The Genius of the Dance. I don’t think the texture or size of the sculpture adds to the impact of the work, because it wasn’t that big, and bronze was used quite a lot. I believe it’s the subject that attracts the viewers to this sculpture.…
I believe the bright colors are making a statement to emphasize on the major parts of the artwork. Showing the motion, makes you move your eyes along the imaginary wave. The slight tone of yellow makes me think of the sun come through the wave. The soft light of the off white background makes me think of a light blue sky that is clear of everything. Vague colors made me stare at the picture for long periods of time so that way I could understand why he created this on in particular. I thought maybe like times when he got bored and went to the museum; he created a scene of his bus ride there. Maybe he pictures himself at a beach and what it would be like to sit and watch someone ride a…
The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…
After re-reading a few short talks, I began to feel like I was that little kid again going to the museum for the first time. I just couldn’t understand the concept of modern art. Going from crayons and markers to Rembrandts and Monet’s is no easy task. In grade school it was exciting going to the museum. Looking at all the pictures and colors and different objects and forms.…
My favorite two pieces would have to be Chris Kahler’s Viral A-9 and Lindsay Mills’s Beautiful Confusion. The way the gel and paint looked on the canvas in Chris Kalher’s work of art was really cool. It had my attention as so as I turned to walked down the stairs. It looked like a growing virus. Lindsay Mills’s use of colors and the way they we applied to the canvas was amazing. I told my wife I wanted to buy it and she said no you cannot. Her work of art was the most appealing to me in the whole…

Although all the art exhibits were simply amazing the one that stood out the most to be was Where the Fate Leads Us by Brenda Atwood Pinardi and Candance Walters. I feel as if this one caught my eye for a numerous of reasons, one being that it was the most original one there in my opinion. This art was not like the simple oil and pastel painting I was expecting to see; instead it was actual material constructed together to give off a certain message to those who viewed it.…
