The dominant colors are sea blue, a tint of gray, and within the cracks, a soft gold. Only a few soft colors are being used, therefore creating a muted piece of art. There is a certain sense of harmony in the vessel because the gold and the grayish-blue combine well together forming a balance that does not allow one color to show more vividly than another.…
Marks use of monochrome blue is what really drew me to this piece. By using only blue I believe Mark has perfectly reflected the mood and atmosphere of the situation through the use of color. The blues seen in the painting are mostly deep or dark blues with the only lighter softer blues seen in the calm waters of the lily pond. Even in the water we see the reflection of the dark clouds above…
Tom uses minimal, yet bright color, in his piece. Pink to accent sensual lips as well as polish on a woman’s hand, white and grey for the smoke, as well as flesh color for the woman’s hand. The repeat use of the same colors allows the art to be simplistic,…

In this article author talked about the Octavius Seowtewa, an elder belongs to Native American Zuni Tribe in New Mexico, was sitting to in a Paris Café, scrolling through his phone pictures of AHAYUDA, carved and decorated wooden poles that are considered as sacred to the Zuni. He was attending the meeting to return his artifacts.…
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.…
The water is painted a very light shade of turquoise like something you would see on an island in Hawaii or Puerto Rico. The waves are small but painted white as if they are crashing hard onto the beach. In the background there are rocks and what appears to be a ridgeline that reaches as far as the eye can see. Everything up until the ridgeline is very clearly painted until you look up into the sky and it…
I believe the bright colors are making a statement to emphasize on the major parts of the artwork. Showing the motion, makes you move your eyes along the imaginary wave. The slight tone of yellow makes me think of the sun come through the wave. The soft light of the off white background makes me think of a light blue sky that is clear of everything. Vague colors made me stare at the picture for long periods of time so that way I could understand why he created this on in particular. I thought maybe like times when he got bored and went to the museum; he created a scene of his bus ride there. Maybe he pictures himself at a beach and what it would be like to sit and watch someone ride a…
Illustrations: The illustrations are bright and appealing. It has two kinds of paints, the water colors and the crayons. There are lots of orange, yellow, green, brown and purple make it pretty charming and very vibrant with…
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…
Oceans of Wisdom is a landscape narrative in a way because it is showing the importance of fishing, the ocean and whaling for the culture. It is a multicolored woodblock print done with very bright cool toned colors. The gradual change in the colors in some areas were done with a dotted effect especially seen around the whale with the blue and the white. The texture of the painting seems very rough and a lot of fine lines are used to define space. Not a lot of shading with gradual change in color is used to give dimension, giving the piece a very flat look.…
There are mostly organic lines with varying lengths. The wave looks like one long curved line and then the smaller ripples in the ocean decrease in length as they come closer but are also wavy. This contrasts with the straight line in the trunk of the palm tree. You can also see the vertical lines from the surface of the cardboard. Despite cutting into the cardboard, there are only 2D shapes. I manipulated the positive and negative shapes through intuitive perspective. Occlusion is visible with the big wave and the palm tree covering the rest of the ocean. Texture gradient and relative height on ground plane are both seen in the ripples of the ocean. The wavelength of the ripples decrease the farther back it goes and they get higher on the ground plane the farther back they get in order to give the ocean distance. I chose to paint everything it’s local color, the ocean is blue, the sun is yellow, the palm fronds are green, and the cloud is white. There are various tints of the primary colors and a couple secondary colors. The ocean and wave is monochromatic but with multiple values. I made the value scale of blue on the wave to make it stand out from the rest of the ocean. The white on the crest puts emphasis on the wave because it is more saturated than the rest of the colors. I used analogous hues for the sun with the red, orange, and yellow. The…
“What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown)? No person can say or do anything without one taking it too personal and getting offended by it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and belief but that does not mean they have the one correct opinion. Everyone has a story or background about their life that few people know about. Everyone has worked hard for something and failed. So why is it now people are constantly in disagreement with others beliefs and think they have some sort of say in it? Social media makes it easy for people to argue without talking in person. Society has brainwashed people into thinking that only one way is right—even though everyone has different pasts and perspectives. People need to…
In the following picture, there are various artistic elements and formats. In the background and foreground of the image, it is a neutral color scheme, consisting of whites and browns. In the center of the picture, you will see three basketballs floating in a straight line in an underwater tank. This sculpture really gives the image an architectonic feel. First off the table that is holding the tank is made up of linear lines and the tank is also made up of linear lines which makes the geometric shape of a rectangle. The bold lines around the tank are the contour lines. Inside the tank, it gives the viewer an attectonic feel due to the basketballs inside. The basketballs are made up of curvilinear lines and each ball has a type of writing on, which I will talk about later. The middle basketball brings out the complementary colors, which are orange and blue. The tank is a three-dimensional figure. All in all, this image brings something to the art world.…
