Art Critique Of Connected (A) By Sergio Garcia
Art Critique

Many of us have seen many wonderful art pieces, whether it was in school or in an art gallery and have secretly chose our favorite painting. While going to an art show myself, I saw a quite interesting painting. The 3-D sculpture is called Connected (A) by Sergio Garcia. This art piece has all of the aspects of the social culture, but has more intellectual properties to it as one sees it.

First of all, when someone goes in to see this painting, they will most certainly miss it as it isn't one of the biggest main attractions. But as they go and look around, they will come to see this 3-D sculpture. It is of a person and doves coming out of its head. It may not seem as anything but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a child

    Laocoon Group Analysis

    I chose to analyze a sculpture from the classical era “The laocoon Group.” Looking at the pictures of the sculpture I can’ help but be drawn into all the small details of each piece of the sculpture. They went into grave detail to make sure every aspect of the sculpture was as detailed as it could be to almost bring it to life. The characters muscles and tone are outlined and use shadows to show how big and masculine their build is. The stance of each individual piece makes me feel like at any moment the sculpture could take a breath and come to life before my eyes. They also look like they are in a struggle or are trying to protect someone from some sort of danger. The flow of the hair on the sculptures makes it look life like and that it would be soft to the touch. All three characters are bound together with a very thick heavy to the looks rope. The rope to me says that they are together no matter what form of battle they pursue. In this sculpture the most interesting piece of it…

    While I do believe that "The Man at the Crossroads it is a very imaginative work of art, I also think that it is quite disturbing in some apects, regarding in particular the themes of communism that are displayed on on the right side of the painting. If there were not any themes of communism present, I would probably give a better review of it. Overall, I consider "The Man at the Crossroads" to be quite an advanced painting, due to it's amazing amount of creativity and interesting utlization of artistic methaphors.…

    Art Analysis: John Byrd

    • 264 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I picked John Byrd, the artist, because most of his projects are of animals and i am an animal person that has a lot of love for animals. He looks like he is trying to convey his love for nature, animals, and interest for the organs and intestines of animals. John looks like he is trying to show the animals in a relatable way so more people can connect and relate to the artwork. In most of his pieces, John shows the animal with its inside organs and intestines showing through, maybe showing that we are all the same inside. The sculpture is labeled as a horse but untitled, it is a horse standing on what looks like a stone platform. His description of the artwork doesn’t tell the meaning behind the sculpture or its reasons for the…

    When observing the sculpture in person and up close it puts one into an emotional state. There were varying emotions that were expressed from a personal perspective. For example, the texture and human characteristics a simple marble sculpture had was ‘shocking’. Aside from the marble itself, what I saw was an individual who rewrote history and is solely responsible for the diverse cultural interactions amongst groups…

    The sculpture attracted my attention and I was captivated by the details that went into it. The first thing the caught my attention was the blades at the feet of the flacon. The jagged blades really stood out to me because it wasn’t something that I would normally associate with a bird. Next were the thick and sharp claws of the flacon that showed how ferocious this animal could be. The large claws of the flacon to me showed that it could be beautiful but a ferocious animal at the same time.…

    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…

    The artwork that I have chosen to critique is by an American artist named Robert Motherwell, (1915 -1991). The particular piece I have chosen is called "Open" # 150 in black and cream 1970 acrylic on canvas 69 x 204 1/4 inches at the Modern Museum. This artwork is a symmetrical balanced abstract painting that is about 41 years old and is horizontal in its organization and is made up of one neutral color cream rectangle inside at the top of one large intense black color rectangle. Counting a total of 7 actual lines, three straight vertical and four straight horizontal lines. The large rectangle is an extremely intense black color which contrasts dramatically with the off white (cream) rectangle. The colors in the painting are brilliant and extremely appealing to the eye. It was the first artwork that I came across and focused the…

    About a month ago, I made a visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art. The museum offered a huge array of pieces and exhibits. After spending a fun filled two hours combing through the museum’s awesome collections (Btw, I enjoyed the amulets and relics in the glass exhibits tremendously!), there were three pieces which made quite an impression on me. I left thinking how do I choose from the best of three—each having the power to intrigue or move me in some way. I felt a definite connection with each of the pieces. The piece I ended up choosing was on the 4th floor in the European Section. It was a painting by Agustin Esteve entitled Four Children. It is oil on canvas, 97 inches by 23 inches, and was painted in the late 18th century. When I first came by this painting, I tried to avoid reading the label on it, so that I could try and understand the piece before I allowed someone else to inform my perspective. I remember feeling a sense of mysticism to it when I first seen it. The painting depicts four children in a dark woody area. There appears to be a fog behind them. The child in the middle is dressed in all black with a bird in his hand. The piece seemed to evoke fear in me at first ( I am still not sure why!) Perhaps it was the colors and tones which helped to create that unsettling feeling(dramatic effect). Right off, I noticed the lines used were soft and smooth, like Renoir employs in his paintings/portraits. The emphasis was on the children in the center of the picture. My first impression was that the kids were lost somewhere and very afraid, but that idea did not mesh well with me because one the boys seemed to cling to him, while the other stared off into the distance with no emotion in his eyes, and he seemed to be leading the boy away with his eyes. Off to the far right is a young girl dressed in her Sunday best, with a flower and black pendant in her left hand and a ribbon on her chest.…

    The bright vivid colors attracted me to this work; I found it interesting how the artist played off of mostly reds and blues and I liked how my attention was immediately drawn to the center of the painting. All of the people seemed to be involved in the miraculous birth of the Jesus. The greatest aesthetic strength of this painting is its use of vivid color, the aesthetic weakness I found was the lack of the artistic use of shadow. I…

    This field trip was educational and at the same time entertaining for the entire family. I learned a lot of things from history, others’ cultures, science and old arts. I was amazed by the diversity of the collections exhibited in this museum including masks, jewelry, sculptures, pottery, paintings and many royal pieces. The pieces of art that I selected were just part of many that captured my heart and attention. These pieces were The dancer at Pigalle’s, a painting by Gino Servini representing a women dancing and spinning around happily in a stage. Butterfly Kid (girl), a sculpture by Yinka Schonibare, that relates art with culture and environment and, the Paysage (A Winter Day in Brittany), a landscape by William Lamb Picknell representing a traveler going back home enjoying the nature after a long…

    Vietnam War

    • 1242 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Vietnam War throughout history has been debated as whether or not it was a necessary war. Some say the war is considered necessary because President Truman was simply trying to help stop the increase of communism in Southeast Asia so that communism wouldn’t spread to other nations. While others say the war was unnecessary because it was the first war the United States lost. In the text, Major Problems of American History, it was stated that people even consider America’s involvement in the Vietnam War its greatest failure as a nation (Hoffman 427). There will be many thoughts and ideas about whether the Vietnam War was considered necessary and no one will truly ever have the same answer. However, I believe the Vietnam War fueled violent antiwar movements and brought two presidents to shame, which makes for an unnecessary war.…
