    The title of the painting I am critiquing is Nine Angels at Revival Zion by Allan "Zion" Johnson painted in 1987, which depicts Jamaica's Spirituality. This painting is located at the FIU Frost Art Museum. The medium used by the artist was oil on hardboard, the surface of the painting was smooth with a few rough spots due to the natural element of the board. Some of the formal elements used throughout the painting are intense hues of red and blues with lighter shades of green and orange. Nine white angels are the focal point of the painting who are being cheered on by the people of the town. Neither the angels nor the people are drawn with detail in their faces. The artist also used basic shapes such as squares, rectangles and triangles for the buildings along with their bold colors. Although the painting is not completely symmetrical there is a sense of balance. The Linear technique was used to give the illusion that angels were floating up to the sky.…

    I just wanted to contact you about an idea I had for Project10. I was thinking that our group could sell sushi! I would like people to preorder them similar to the pizza on pink stumps day where people were given a sheet a week or so prior to it happening and could fill the form in with what flavour they wanted and how many they would want. Then would give it to students services with the money enclosed in a small bag or envelope by a certain date and pick it up from me and the rest of the students in my group one lunchtime. My mum knows an owner of a sushi company who is willing to give us a large amount of sushi rolls for cheap and my mum has offered to pick it up and drop it off at school. If you could let me know if this can go ahead that…

    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.…

    The first two pictures that are being compared are Shirin Neshatb “Allegience with Wakefulness” 1994 and Jasper Johns “Three Flags” 1958. In the “Allegience with Wakefulness” is instrumentalist. It is instrumentalist because it is the writing on this person’s feet is not English and there is a gun between the person’s feet. This might be taken as things that are different from what we are used to be taken as threat. American people in general have a closed minded way of looking at things. The other aesthetic perspective for this art piece that are noted is linguistic. Linguistic are has symbols as well and the gun could also be seen as a symbol. It has words written in it too specifically on the feet. This artistic piece is powerful because it can have so many meanings to it and can mean many things to many different people. “Three Flags” is a linguistic painting. It is obvious that this is a linguistic painting because it is the American flag. The American flag is tied strongly to American culture. It is a symbol of our freedom. Imitationist is the next aesthetic perspective that is seen in this paper, obviously because it looks just like the American flag. The American flag looks like it is popping of the page because of the way they get smaller as they move forward. Both of these art pieces have a strong message behind them. The first one, “Allegience with Wakefulness” has a language in it that most Americans would not be able to understand. It also has a gun which could mean a lot of different things in this particular picture. The second picture “Three Flags” is pretty much the opposite of that. It is very recognizable for everyone in the American culture. It stands for freedom our freedom.…

    It is believable that John Vanderlyn, in his painting Landing of Columbus, was trying to portray the success of Columbus and his crew. Columbus heroic stance and elegant expression are made all the more impressive in comparison to the native people who witness the event. The Native Americans are naked, fearful or subservient, bowing down before the explorer in awe and reverence. The symbols of empire are shown in the heroic explorer with his Christian crosses and steel swords symbolizing the significance in the power of civilization. In 1836 of June, Congress had commissioned John Vanderlyn to paint the Landing of Columbus. About eleven years later the painting was hung in the Rotunda by January 1847. Expansion was an overwhelming preoccupation in nineteenth-century America, but it was by no means the only cultural preoccupation. The subject of the painting, foregrounding the ambiguous meeting of two cultures, provided a space for artists to work out many central issues, for example, how to reconcile Indian Removal with notions of the Noble Savage. Another way is how to remake a country torn apart by sectional strife. The following settlements and expansions span the period from 1835 to 1912. Americans had a chaotic eighty-year period that witnessed the filling of Americas geographical borders, the bloody anguish of the Civil War, the horror of slavery in America, the overthrow of Native peoples, and many more events pertaining to the expansion. Vanderlyns painting contains images of contact between European explorers and Native Americans. He clearly shows a representation of what many of the settlements contained and how frightened the Natives were.…

    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…

    Even though his artworks seem so realistic, modification to scale and shape have been made to achieve balance in the composition and strength.

    I was undoubtedly surprised at the difference and similarities between my first thoughts on the piece and my thoughts after reading about it. When I was first looked at Hung Liu’s Painting Three Fujins the figures looked very solemn, serious, and balanced. The piece seemed to have both a controlled and abstract feel about it. Most of the figures contain a lot of detail but with the drips going through them it made them look a little softer and gave it an organic feeling. It seemed to have a very controlled but almost sad feeling throughout the piece. After reading about the painting some of my first thoughts about the painting were explained. Since these are women stuck in their position it explained why I got a sad feeling from the piece. These women had requirements and certain obligations they had to fulfill. So, the figures being in very controlled and posed positions makes you feel the life they led. I liked how the artist used the linseed oil to make the abstract drips throughout the piece. The reasoning behind this gives the piece a totally different feeling. Since she sees using the drip method as adding a liberating or freeing feeling to the piece. Not only does it add both these things to the piece but she feels both those feelings herself when she is doing the dipping technique. I think that after reading the inspiration for the piece, artist techniques, and the feelings it made this a little less sad for me and helped me to notice more of the symbolism incorporated into the piece.…

    This woman has her child on her lap and is holding her with two hands, one by the neck and another under the butt. It seems like the women might be rocking the child to calm him or her. This piece of art is also very detailed but does not show much of a cultural figured. There isn’t much detail on the child, besides the hair because his or her does not have any clothes on. The area of focus includes a bench that the women is sitting on and the black hair the women has. There no clothes provided on the child, so that was also an area of focus. I cannot tell from just looking at the print if the women is the mother or a nanny or what title she…
