Jen Stark
Jen Stark is an artist that is consists of paper sculptures, she was born in 1983 in Miami, Florida. Jen studied at (MICA) Maryland Institute College of Art. What influences her is all sorts of things including microscopic patterns in nature, wormholes and sliced anatomy.

The theme of Jen Starks work is purely based on creating creative paper sculptures. Its based on replication and infinity, echoing patterns and intelligent individual designs that are found in the beautiful world of nature. Since she has been expanding her work from paper she took it up a level by even including wood and mirrors in her mind blowing work. Her exquisite sculptures and drawings has enjoyed renaissance of context.
The one of the materials that artist used was different coloured paper, I think it works well with this piece of work just as it does with others because Jen Stark is an artist that loves to explore complexity and uses the vibrant colours to help it have that special effect. Also the different colours give it a reflection of her theme of nature and also resembles her theme that she looks upon in creating her work by using different colours that could even have a meaning or resembles something towards nature that each colour has.
Features of Jen Starks work
The colour she has used in this piece of work are very bright, vibrant and attractive, she might of used these colours because she says `Vibrant Art is like a breath of fresh air`, the bright colours resembles to her motive and also makes it much more attractive. The line she uses are smooth and pointy, she might of used this because she might be making a 3-d piece of work and might want to give the work a rough feeling by the lines being smooth and pointy. The texture in this piece of work is rough by the shapes created and the lines are smooth but also pointy that gives it a rough feeling and Jen Stark could of made this by making several triangles all the same size and kept sticking them together

    The symbols:He has used a variety of line, round and curvy in some areas but straight in others. I think he has done this to make the place seem more realistic because if he had just used straight or curvy lines then it wouldn't seem realistic. In the painting there are 9 or more nudes, some on the rug, the sculptures, and the person on the bed, the sketches and a few more. This might show that this is one of the main topics he paints. The sculpture in the picture symbolises that Brett didn't just do paintings but also drew sketches, as shown in the painting from the sketch book leaning on the chair, and sculptures from the 2 sculptures in the painting. In the artwork the colours used are bright, vibrant colours like dark blue, yellow, red, white and yellow. The dark blue and the yellow might symbolise the beach-blue for water and yellow for sand. The yellow could also stand for happiness. The red could mean love or romance and because there is a female figure on the bed maybe it is directed at her. In this case the white is representing the light coming from the roof light. It is also used for the sketch books paper, the scrolls on the wall and the paper he is painting on. The hanging scrolls are painted on the back wall. There is a contrast between the white scrolls and the blue wall. This make the scrolls stand out more. The scrolls are a symbol of Japanese and Chinese art. The windows in the painting overlook Sydney harbour and we know this because Sydney Harbour Bridge is noticeable. If he hadn't used the harbour bridge then we wouldn't have know where he was painting or that he was painting at his apartment. The chair in the painting is also the chair from his studio. This also symbolises that he is painting in his apartment. The chair is stationed by its self on the rug. Because it is in the middle of the room this might symbolise its importance and that its just not any ordinary chair.…

    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…

    Also, if you look very closely at the painting, you can see some brush strokes that the painter made. I like that because the viewer can see how thick the paint is and how you move onto the canvas. Lastly, I like how there is light around the top of the painting. I love how the artist used different colors and shades. This art piece goes very well in my family's dining room, in my opinion.…

    Howard works in very thick layers. She separates colours and leaves crisp definition between each stroke. Here it seems as though she has used a tool such as a knife or card, and has dragged the paint across the page. She has also picked out undertones such as purples, greens and oranges and has intensified these colours and made them really stand out. She manages to do this without overpowering the reflections and water like look.…

    In the background are the pitch black perennial Mountains and a pearl colored half moon. Like the piece Music Pink and Blue it is a oil painting however her earlier painting consists of pastel colors that blend into each other, rather than the dark separated colors found in Ladder to the Moon. This painting was very similar to a picture taken of O'Keeffe and her surroundings at Ghost Ranch so, she was inspired by an image unlike a feeling in wich she used to create many art pieces in her early years as an artist. This painting also symbolizes something and carries a message to its viewer rather than a strong…

    The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…

    Through all of her artwork it would seem she draws much of her inspiration from the nature surrounding her. Living in a rural area, it is likely that Kate takes many of her ideas if not the scenes themselves from her daily life. If her artwork is not directly portraying a landscape then it is drawing from nature in the way of wild life. Most all her paintings consist of some type of nature scene, while her etchings all contain some type of animal. Kate’s work consistently portrays some type of landscape scene or wildlife. Another common theme throughout the better part of the show is her use of vibrant colours. Colours you wouldn't normally expect such as blues and pinks to create effects such as shadow and light. She especially likes to use these colours in her painting of clouds and sunsets. Overall I think this is an excellent exhibition that really allowed for the views to really get a idea who the artist is and what they are trying to portray. Although I did not love every piece it is fair to say that the show consists of generally all high quality…

    Jody Starks - Jody's character is opposite that of Tea Cake. He is cruel, conceited, and uninterested in Janie as a person. But his cruelty is not a result of any specific animosity toward Janie; rather, it is a reflection of the values that he holds and the way that he understands his relationship to the world. Jody depends on the exertion of power for his sense of himself; he is only happy and secure when he feels that he holds power over those around him. In Janie's words, he needs to "have [his] way all [his] life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let [him]self heah 'bout it." He needs to feel like a "big voice," a force of "irresistible maleness" before whom the whole world bows.…

    The elements of art used in this work balance out the work as a whole. The components such as the canyons, the sky, and the river belong to one another. These natural elements embody nature that form a harmonious whole. The colors used blend together to create a smooth, even layer of color. The earthy tones used are true to life and represent nature. The painting shows a contrast of light and dark colors on the sides of the canyons. The colors start out light and go dark towards the bottom of the canyon. The variety of lines in the work show height and width. The horizontal lines give a feeling of peace and a sense of space. The lines depict sections of the landscape, which recede into space. The vertical lines create a sense of height. The lines vary in width and length leading the eye around towards the top of the canyons. The thin and light brushstrokes…
