The variation of colors he used created an outstanding display of nature that I never thought possible. I believe his purpose was to create imagery, an illusion to the audience, as if they were looking into the American West, through his painting. The entity of light was the key element of this painting. The form of a fine white line amid a mass of water allowed the separation of the earth and the heavens. What is intriguing about the painting is that as quickly as the earth and heaves were separated, the two joined once again at the same location. The reflection of the lake elaborated on the purity of the water and the richness of life. The contrast of dark and light colors served a great importance in his painting.…

The further left you go until the edge of the painting the thicker the ice. On the top right their are reflections of bare leafless trees, indicating the approaching winter months. In the middle of the painting close to the top border Mark added the reflection of Monet turning a waterwheel in hopes of calming the flooding water. Mark is paying homage to Monet who has inspired his way of painting water and reflections. In many of Marks other works the use of reflection plays a large part and can be traced back to the paintings of Monet.…
The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…
Rietveld came to the De Stijl group as a cabinet maker and created spectacular furniture throughout his life. He used this as an inspiration for the plans and designs of his architecture. He expresses his spirits and definition into the whole piece. This structure is an anti-cube and does not contain much functional space, nor did it intend to. It instead throws all of this space out of the center therefore making the height, width, and depth an open space. The main areas such as the living room are on the second floor where as the private rooms are confined to the bottom. The second floor also uses sliding objects in order to be able to have definite shape or be open when needed. The movable panels illustrate three-dimensional ideas but have proportional planes. This contemporary style portrays nature through its open plan.…
This creates a calming factor or cool factor. The painting seems to be placed in a place where it is to be foggy and…
Dale Chihuly has been deemed a visionary for his indelible mark left on the art of glass-blowing over the course of his 40-plus-year career. Born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1941, he is often credited with moving blown glass from craft into the domain of high fine art. Though he refuses to categorize himself as such, he is a visionary of light, form and color. His Seattle based studio known as the “hot shop,” is where you can view demonstrations of his visions being created. Chihuly’s signature styles consist of baskets, orbs, sea forms, chandeliers and pointy icicle towers that range in size and color. You can view them in the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas or any one of the two hundred museums where his work resides.…

The West Rose window hangs right above the bronze doors of the Western façade of the cathedral. The window is built from ten thousand pieces of stained glass. Standing outside and looking into the rose window, you see only gold outlines of a very intricate pattern. From an outside perspective, the window resembles an eye. Interestingly, looking from the inside of the cathedral, you will see those patterns filled in with vibrant stained glass that follows some geometric pattern. The position in which the rose window is situated has some importance. The window faces the sun during the afternoon and whiles the sun sets. Also, from the inside, the rose window…

This is an interesting year in the NBA because there are plenty of notable names that will be free agents at the end of the season. The summer could bring on the ultimate game of musical chairs for players, swapping teams for more lucrative contracts and a better chance at winning a championship. Of all the free agents, LeBron James has probably been the most talked about when it comes to 2010 restricted free agency. There has been plenty of speculation about the teams he will go to next year if he decides to leave Cleveland. After a loss tonight in game 6 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the talk has already begun to escalate as LeBron’s decision becomes more imminent. For that reason I choose to evaluate LeBron’s post-game press conference from the game 6 loss to the Celtics. It is not the typical press conference because of the aforementioned free agency. Moreover, it is an opportunity for him to talk to the fans of Cleveland, and almost apologize for not living up to this year’s expectations. It is also different from the typical press conference because there is some persuading on James’ part. Convincing the reporters in the room, and consequently the people paying attention to the situation, that he has not given any thought to what team he going sign with in the off season.…
The fresco series he painted for the Brancacci Chapel in about 1427, illustrates one of his greatest innovations, the use of light to define the human body and its draperies. In these frescoes, rather than bathing his scenes in flat uniform light that was common to most current painting techniques, he painted them as if they were illuminated from a single source of light (in this case, the actual chapel window). This created a unique mix of light and shadow that gave them a natural, realistic quality that was unknown in the art that was produced in his day. He put into practice Brunelleschi's theories about how to project depth beyond a flat painted surface, employing the lines of painted architecture to create a convincing illusion of…

Paul Goldberger stated, “Interior space will almost always provoke a greater emotional response than the building’s façade.” An individual would better understand the concept of the architectural design by experiencing, feeling, and seeing the space from within. Through this, space creates an emotional aspect within a person. Since different people experience the space, no two people perceive a certain space the same way. A person’s perception varies based on the impact and impression given by the space. Each and every individual who enters the space would have their own opinion on the emotional element their surroundings stipulate. Space can make you feel small, big, restricted, confortable, welcome, isolated, warm, cold, and so on. Although everyone experiences spatial impressions, not everyone is consciously grasped by it. It creates various emotions that only you can interpret. Royal Ontario museum’s space can be interpreted in several ways. Some people feel awkward and restricted with the space the irregular form creates. They find the crystal structure a way to waste of space. However, some people find its unusual space quite interesting. The massing of the structure allows the natural light to come in making the space look larger than it is. Adding to that, the light that comes from the window creates an “ascending” feeling; at the same time provides an overlooking view of the street. Frank Ching’s Architecture, Form, Space & Order thoroughly explained how placing windows in the corners established to capture a desirable view or brighten a darker corner of the…
