Andre Derain 'The Turning Road, L' Estaque
As I viewed the different types of art in the Musem the piece by Andre Derain, French, 1880-1954 “The Turning Road, L’Estaque, made me wonder what type of story he was trying to tell. This is an oil on canvas painting. He used several types of broken brush strokes. It is intended to express the feeling of the artist. It has curving roads and vibrant colors. I think this piece of artwork can be used to teach students, that sometimes art is used to relate the feelings of others. I think Derain’s artwork can be used to help students write stories using the piece as a guide. The Turning Road can even be used to teach colors and shapes. I felt that I could create a full story using this piece. I love how the colors were used on the trees and branches.

    Comparing The Highway Is A Disco By Euan Macleod And Del Kathryn Barton

    Euan MacLeod and Del Kathryn Barton are Australian artists that operate with different materials at different periods of times, who produce exceptional works that relate significantly to the concept of identity with a focus on the human condition. The works of Del Kathryn Barton reflect femininity and motherhood; however, Macleod’s reflect morbid emotions and an abstract approach to portray an altered style of melancholy. Barton’s ‘The Highway is a Disco’ was flawlessly painted in the modern era of 2014, made with synthetic polymer paint and fibre tipped pens on canvas, measuring at 240 x 180 cm. Similarly, another body of work painted exquisitely, ‘Of Pollen’ was designed with synthetic polymer paint in the contemporary era. It measures 163…

    The art piece is representational, the lines are sharp and there are various and different shapes. The texture is smooth and there has been more than one colour that has been used in the painting. The tone shows that the sun is on him even though there is no sun shown in the portrait. Space and depth has been used as you can tell the objects are further away and the ones that are closer up and in detail.…

    Lee Krasner Right Bird Left Analysis

    Have you ever had a painting that really spoke to you? When I visited the David Owsley Art Museum there was one painting in particular that stuck out to me, it was: Right Bird Left by Lee Krasner. Tis painting made me feel happy and gave me a lot of energy during the time I was at the museum. It caught the attention of my eye by using several different visual elements to depict an abstract representation art piece. Along with that it used principle of designs to help the visual elements play out and work in the painting so that things can be depicted to the human eye correctly. This piece might have looked like bird feathers but it used many different techniques to give me a bigger underlying meaning behind a such complex painting. This piece…

    Norton Museum

    When taking a trip to the Norton Museum of Art I chose a one dimensioned painting called Adam that was located on the first floor. The artist is Nicholas Carone and was painted in 1956. To the left of the painting, Adam, was another painting named Personage which was painted by Robert Mothewell in 1943. Personage is an abstract oil painting on canvas with multiple different colors. To the right of Adam was a sculpture called Sea Quarry and was created by Theodore Roszak. The sculpture was not an obvious choice that it was a sea animal at first. I had to stand there for a minute and really look at the sculpture to being to see what it was really intended for the sculpture to be. Returning to my original choice, Adam by Nicholas Carone, it is also an oil painting done on canvas. Carone first started with a plane black picture and continued to manipulate it with white paint color and other lines using different thick and thin brushes. The picture was made to represent and recreate light and shadow but is opaque. It uses several different elements of art including color, value, line, shape, and space. “Adam”s composition is curved lines and is known as an Abstract Expressionism type of art.…

    The Other Paris By Gallant

    Gallant's "The Other Paris" is a marvelous representation of two "love birds" finalizing the decision of marriage "over a tuna-fish salad". A social commentary and an amount of satire over exaggerated to prove a point about society. Disney movie story lines are not a form of reality they are written scripts of fiction. The author immediately introduces "expectation vs. reality" through Carol.…

    Stylistic Analysis Essay for

    In the history of art, we have seen many paintings which share the same content, but were done by different artists in different movements. Each of the artists has a different style, different ways to observe what they see to translate into a painting. An example is the “The Regatta” by Theo van Rysselberghe in 1892, and the “Slave Ship” by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1840.…

    After a visual analysis it helped me look deeper into the painting itself. It helped me understand what the artist really was trying to show rather than just a random assessment of colors and shapes. The theme was addressed well because it managed to show a picture of the universe’s history. By understanding what the story behind the painting it helped me understand the meaning behind it more. Also because I visited it so long ago it reminded of how much I enjoyed the piece and it helped me remember it…

    Response Paper for Art

    I think that artist don’t have to create so many beautiful pieces to make us remember it but to make it a history instead. Making their great pieces into history can give other generations some ideas of what had happened in the past and they should stop and observe every event that might be occurring on the painting. Pieces of work that artist make should be for our enjoyment and to remember what happened in the past and in this era. An example would be Altar to the Chases High School, 1987. (pg.59)…

    La Grande Odalisque By Lalla Essaydi

    For this paper, I have chosen to compare and contrast Grande Odalisque by Jean Ingres and La Grande Odalisque by Lalla Essaydi. I chose these pictures because I find the them to be the most appealing and the way the girl looks in both of them, it intrigues me. He blatant stare makes me wonder why, and what are the thoughts going through her head. Grande Odalisque was a piece that was commissioned by Napoleon’s sister and means “harem women”. This painting’s subject matter for this painting would be a woman who is reclining back and laying on her side, and is wearing only her jewelry and head piece.…

    Still Life Final Reflection

    The goal that was set in place for this project was to find an object and destroy the representation of it. This piece helped me grow as an artist because I learned how to destroy my work and not be infatuated with a specific rendering of a piece. I learned the importance of perseverance and revision. The stages of the object tell a story of transformation and the rebirth of an idea. I was successful in being open to destroy and challenge the traditional methods of developing an artwork I was adding by taking away.…
