Beautiful Nature
Beautiful Nature By Dora Molina

This painting by Pat Steir Figure 129 Pink Chrysanthemum is three panels of flowers. The background of these paintings is pink and the flowers are white. The first panel of the painting has three flowers in a green vase. The flowers are kind of blurry the way that the light shined on them, and are centered. The second panel has just a close up of a single flower. Its closer than the first panel and has way more detail of the flower. You almost feel like you can reach out and touch the flower sitting there. The third panel brings it even more closer than the second and it becomes even more beautiful than the other two. The atmosphere that the pinks and the shades of blue and green with the purples too makes me want to wrap up with a blanket and lay there and just look at it. Its very peaceful and pleasant to look at. To me the artist is telling everyone to take time out of their busy day and notice all the beautiful parts of nature. Look at everything in great detail and enjoy every part of your life from the smallest rosebud to the biggest tree giving you shade. What seems small at first can be something great and spectacular. Don’t waste a moment of your time enjoy nature and all its surroundings. Nature has so much to offer yet it so often gets ingored and put to the side for a rainy day. As we go about our busy days we don’t even have time to notice little things. This weekend I went to the mall with my daughter and she asked to go into the art gallery for Pablo Picaso where she pointed at three photos that she wanted me to buy for her room. It was so cute. This piece makes you feel like disappearing into a different place where there is a breeze flowing through your hair and a warm sun on your skin and these beautiful flowers all around. This painting is the first time that I have ever enjoyed myself fully while looking at a painting. The light colors of this painting suggests something good is

    Del Kathryn Barton’s trademark style of contemporary design and illustrative style are used effectively to create a motherly love emotion within the painting. Although there is a two dimensional appearance about each singular figure, stacking them together makes a three dimensional theme throughout the painting and with the use of line and detail in the foreground adds to these dimensions.…

    In “To Paint a Water Lily,” by Ted Hughes, the speaker examines the complex aspects of nature by revealing the challenges he faces as an artist in capturing its real meaning. When he looks at the scene, he sees an exciting little world of constant movement and activity, hidden by the peaceful stillness of the water lilies that float at the surface of the pond. Ted knows that to paint the water lily and do it righteousness requires more than a simple description of the plant itself—he must also somehow capture its environment; the busy life that surrounds it. The power with which the speaker describes this incredible task and the appreciation he feels for the outstanding convolution of nature is expressed through the use of tone, language, imagery, diction and figurative language.…

    The painting tells the story of Beauty and the Beast in one image. It reminds me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearances. Not everyone is who you think they are at first glance. I love…

    By this technique of relaxing the mind and letting the brain flood with images, Heffernan is able to layer her artwork into the canvas space. Heffernan begins her artwork with sketches, then marks those sketches until she begins to see images in them (Samet). She relates this technique to frottage, which is applying a texture to a piece of paper, to make her paintings detailed. Self Portrait with Falling Sky (2011, Oil on Canvas, 68x60) depicts a nude woman being pelted with falling rocks. These rocks resemble jewels, potatoes, and are adorned with growing shrubs. The rocks are textured, the artist paints swirls and jewels into them, as well as chipped pieces, suggestive of the rigidness of a stone. The woman is surrounded by green flora amidst a blue backdrop. Her hands are thrown upward to protect herself, as she is even being splashed with water tipping from above out of a flower pot. This piece reminds one of surrealist art. It looks like a scene from a bad dream. The juxtaposition of the objects- the female nude, flying rocks, and forestry- capture the ideals of surrealist art. Heffernan’s technique of layering the rocks and placing her subject with her hands in extended space between these rocks gives the piece depth and a sense of…

    I have chosen to use the flower as a way of portraying the “hippie” movement of the 1960’s, in order to truly depict how necessary all of the protests and promotions of peace were to ending the war. At the time, a slogan called “Flower Power” had become widely recognized as symbol of passive resistance and anti-violence ideologies. Protesters would offer policeman flowers, all in hopes of showing the American government how important it was to end the violence in the Vietnam, and show them how to accept peace and love. Specifically, the daisy flower is to be used in the memorial because during this time of “Flower Power,” daisies had become almost signatory, as many protesters were using these flowers as symbols of their hopes and ideologies. Along with this relation, the daisy flower is a common symbol of both love and transformation, a perfect way to describe what America had to go through during the Vietnam war times. Essentially, The daisy flower would be used to symbolize the significance and importance of protest against the Vietnam war, and the promotion of peace. The second architectural detail is the small but noticeable water droplets, one on each side of the stem. These drops are more than simply aesthetic, as they hold a homage to the fallen American soldiers. I chose to use theses droplets of water as some kind of depiction of aftermath, the aftermath of a storm, which in this case would be the war. The droplets portray the lives of the soldiers, and how those lives are to now slowly fade away, and once again become simply a part of history. They show the pure sadness that the American public was feeling during the war times, in a way portraying their feelings for their lost loved ones. These droplets can be interpreted as either rain drops from a storm, depicting how lives were lost during a storm that was the Vietnam war, or the tears…

    Several art pieces exemplify meaning within the designated area it was constructed in, as well as interpreting its meaning through either exaggerated, geometric shapes, or merely conveying a story as if it was a picture book. Art overall has illustrated this world triumphantly with a plethora of sculptures, paintings, and other abstract or representational art pieces, thanks to their artists who have created these worlds. They help individuals perceive what the artist sees within an image to refresh their audience's view, and realize to stop, bask in, and admire the beauty surrounding them once more. Because of this, habit has dulled the audience’s sensory experience. Located on the side entrance for bus riders to enter Lewis and Clark, John Medwedeff’s “Bloom” helps portray meaning and beauty for his audience, effectively describing the feeling of growth, knowledge, and tranquility.…

    The woman is wearing a white robe and is draped in a blue material. The color blue is also found in the sky and in the flowers that one of the children is extending to the woman. Pink is very prominent in the painting. A piece of the figure’s clothing is pink and the clouds are pink. The winged children have a pink hue as well. The color white is significant because the bird above the woman is white. The light in this painting appears to be radiating from the woman, further deeming her importance. The lighting and colors found in the work are used to show that the communication between the bird and the woman is important…

    In my life I have been lucky enough to travel to striking places around the world. I believe that this assignment allowed me to express some of my experiences on the canvas. Specifically, traveling to Whistler Mountain with my family in previous winters I saw very distinguishable pieces of land that where intruded by humans. One piece of nature that stood out in my mind was a single tree that survived in the middle of the barren land. I believe my painting represents the change that we experience. Moreover, the more change we experience the stronger we become as a result of the experiences and hardships we face. The clear-cut land shows severe change; furthermore, the strong solemn tree represents how change can make us stronger. My painting also holds meaning of solidarity. Every year I travel to Whistler Mountain with my family. Every year since I was twelve I have lived away from home. Moreover, this yearly trip to Whistler Mountain was a getaway to spend time with my family and cherish these memorable moments. This trip was one of the only moments I got to spend commending time with my family. Since these trips are such a rarity, they hold a prodigious meaning to me, and as a reflection so does this painting. This painting and assignment holds many personal attachments within my…

    The visual imagery used in Sandra Cisneros Only Daughter and Alice Walker The Flowers allows the reader to get a feel as if they are there in the scene or environment.

I also believe Cisneros wants me as the reader to imagine if I were her at the very moment, feeling and thinking what she felt to give a clear and realistic feeling of the moment.

    Through my own experience as an avid outdoorsman, I find that Nature has many enjoyable activities to offer. Some of my friends like to go canoeing and some enjoy swimming in lakes, I find that my favorite outdoor sports are rock climbing, fly fishing and deer hunting. From the sweet smell of maple sap to all the little chirps, whistles and squeaks, I find myself completely relaxed when I am outside. It seems too often that the daily hustle and bustle of everyday work and school can leave a person stressed. Nature has a natural way of gently stimulating all of our senses and gives us something new to experience every day.…

    I have come a long way from the beginning of this aesthetics class to where I am now. When I first started this class, I had no recollection concerning the discovery of beauty, active response to beauty, or environmental beauty, in general. I truly started to engage in environmental aesthetics in the second week of classes. It was hard for me to interpret this class because I had no prior knowledge of aesthetics. When you have a truly passionate professor who is very knowledgeable, it makes the class easier to understand because you can ask any question and it will be answered properly. It truly started to sink in about the second week of classes. I started to remember the readings and what we discussed in class about Muir and how engaged he was about seeing the beauty in nature. It was hard for me to start with finding beauty, I felt like I was trying so hard to find beauty, but once I stopped trying to find beauty is when I actually became engaged with nature. As I was writing my daily journals, little things kept becoming clearer and I could tell I was getting more involved with beauty. Once you rewrite over and over in your journals, it starts to make sense. After the fourth week I was feeling good about being involved in nature, I could start to recognize what beauty was. I could walk to class or even just sit outside my apartment and take in everything that was happening around me and make the best out of it. Being engaged in nature has led me up to this point. After six weeks into aesthetics, I feel so much more involved with nature. It is almost like I feel comfortable with it now. I feel like nature accepts me for who I am. Sometimes we take that for granted and do not appreciate it. I am fully engaged with what nature has to offer me, and I am willing to take that. I haven’t stopped being engaged in nature as I am always aware of what is around me and I am willing to take it in and make in my own experience.…
