Plum Garden at Kameido
Kirsten Retherford
Mrs. Nelson
Art 1113
February 12, 2013
Plum Garden at Kameido The media used to create this piece of art is woodblock print. In this work of art there are many different things that you see such as, a flowering plum tree, along with a few others in the background, a garden, a fence, and many human figures. In this print there are many different types of lines. You can tell that the people in this art work are portraying vertical lines, compared to the tree branches which are displaying the horizontal lines. In this background there are many tree branches which show us what diagonal lines look like. The main tree trunk in the front of this print displays the curved shaping to the tree. Some of the branches are longer than others. Also we can tell that the trees have different widths. Some of them are thicker than others. The line that dominates in the print would be the diagonal line. The people in this art work are so small because the plum tree is the main focus. The people are separated from the trees by a fence because it is probably a famous site. The relationship between the people and nature is that they are intrigued by the beauty of it. I personally like this work of art. It is very pretty and the colors in it are very bold. The blossoming plum trees remind me of spring because they are blooming in this print. Overall I think this work of art is successful because it is intriguing and makes you think about what is going on in

    What first catches the viewer 's eyes are the vivid colors used in the painting. Ultimately what jumps out the most is the man on the right 's red robe. The artist intended this for a reason, discussed later. The room where the men are standing is front lit. Also the atmosphere is not hazy. There is no hint of sffumato. It is very much unlike the Romantic works produced earlier in the century. Rather the edges of the figures and of other objects in the picture plane are clearly defined. The artist "renders every object in the painting with meticulous clarity" (Smith 1). To see this work in person is really quite impressive. The painter has achieved a great sense of depth in the painting, as well as a strikingly realistic quality. The picture taken for this paper from the Albright-Knox 's web page simply does not do this work justice. One 's experience of standing in front of this painting is that of awe. The artist has depicted everything in the scene so realistically, and yet has made it look better than it probably did in real life. Everything in the painting has a rich, glowing quality about it.…

    Although each tree is independent and slightly different, it still shows the plain and bareness of the environment. Noticing that the landscape only consists of trees, it may represent disconnection to civilisation. Furthermore, this technique allows the reader’s to visualise the limitless space of the typical Australian bush.…

    Instead, the natural wood and feel of nature is present which adds to the representation of the banyan tree root system that is present in the piece. The roots are also formed by the intertwining and movement of the hardwood. The artist captures slithering side-to-side movement due to the finish and smoothness of the wood. It is carved in such a way that it looks like the wood was naturally bending that way into a loose “S” shape. The curves of the wood are further extenuated by the height of the piece.…

    One of the major reasons I was very interested in this painting was the excellent use of colors. William uses these colors to show movement and to depict a sense of realism to his viewers. He uses a combination of warm, bright and dull colors to provide beauty to the painting. It is a realistic painting in which we can see realistic objects like the clouds, the grass, the earth, sand, mud, little stones/rocks, shrubs, water and a whole lot. Looking at this painting at a glance, I thought it was a photograph; that is how realistic it is. William uses colors in little…

    The Forest Chamber at Ju’ou, by Wang Meng, is a painting of thick dense tress, buildings in the hill sides, waves flowing through the painting. This painting has many visual and yet somewhat cluttered layers with depth to it. The depth starts at the bottom of the picture and works its way up where your eye is drawn to the body of water to the top right. The body of water opens up the painting so the viewer doesn’t feel enclosed into it. The trees get smaller towards the top of the painting showing depth in the landscape.…

    The Red Tree depicts a young girl moving about her days almost consumed by depression and sadness. However Tan indicates that even when things seem overwhelming there is hope for a better day. In illustration ___ we see the salient image of a young girl trapped in a bottle by her oversized diving helmet. Her posture clearly indicates that she is unhappy and the bottle is slowly filling with water. There is no chance of escape as her oversized helmet clearly will not fit out the narrow neck of the bottle. Tan’s effective use of dark blue and grey further conveys the sombre mood and difficulty the young girl is facing. Through effective use of vector lines the viewer’s eyes are drawn along the horizon to contrasting white clouds, symbolising perhaps that there is hope on the horizon. Tan further emphasizes the sadness consuming the protagonist in illustration __. The salient image of a gigantic fish hangs over the young girl walking alone along a city street. The fish’ gaping mouth creates a vector line to the young girl who is hunched over and clearly unhappy, as she remains in the shadow of the fish while everyone else goes about their business ignoring her. Again, Tan’s…

    This beautiful piece of art was inspired by Yosemite National Park. The nature and wildlife is a beautiful picture to be painted. You cannot see his brush strokes or lines in this painting but you can see how he integrated the colors so well to bring this picture to life to make it look almost real. It too looks like a photograph taken when it is really a painting.…

    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 art piece is known as Chinese landscape artist from the 11th century developed the Old Tree, Level Distance hand scroll using ink and color on silk which is traditional to the Chinese style. The mountains are done with a single line which gives the impression of distance. The focal point of the trees contains the artists patterned brushwork which provides the image with a textured look. The environment of the landscape is designed with a look of moisture formed with the dark and light contrast. Symbolically, the painting is that of a saddened emotion almost as saying goodbye to something.…

    This one seems to fit in with the other art creations at the Jen library though, because around it the other works of art are almost the same in size, this helps give you an idea at how very large this other piece is. Unlike the first piece, this one has a wood base that is left unpainted or stained. Then close to the bottom left corner it has wood planks with white plaster on them all laid pointing outwards from a circle in the center, it reminds one very much of a giant daisy without a yellow center, unlike the top one you get a happy feeling because of this bright beautiful flower. The planks however are torn at the end, and this beautiful daisy starts to look more battered and worn down, it’s kind of sad. Placed above the hole where the yellow pollen of a flower should lay is three rows of five blocks. All of the blocks are made of foam and painted a bright pink, and they are all lined up in straight rows and are uniform, except for one at the bottom left, that one is slightly tilted. In the end I loved how this looked, and when going deeper into the meaning you can really see why this connects so well with the other darker art…

    The genre is photography. The picture is of mountains in the backdrop, with a river flowing in front of it surrounded by forest. The three characteristics to describe the piece would be; perspective, value and composition. From the William Cronon website we learn of the two different perspectives in this photo. The author states that the first is a vantage-point perspective. This perspective gives us a stunning image of the landscape. The second perspective would be the birds-eye perspective where the viewer is distanced from the actual elements in the picture giving them an overall view of the picture (Hung).…

    The important concept that I picked up on was that though all of these varied views are put onto a tree that the artist’s perspectives and individualistic views are what are important. By the creativity behind how the artists pushed the bounds of how a tree is normally perceived and instead viewed the tree in a way that is more connected to them then how the tree’s appearance actually appeared. By the views in which a person may look at the tree and draw it for the exact appearance in comparison to how a majority of artists may look at the tree and see something else. Personal expression is prevailing in the way that it separates what is and a fresh and innovative look into the expansive amount of imaginative ideas that can inspire new ways in which to perceive objective objects.…
