This school was itself an outgrowth of Realism as practiced by painters like Courbet and Corot‚ who sought to depict everyday settings and people in their art in opposition to existing conventions that dictated an idealization of the world within narrowly defined subjects for painting.

The painting The Nighthawks is a painting I personally like because of its use of colour‚ form and value. The elements of design‚ form is used to give a three dimensional feeling about the people inside the shop and the shop itself. When you look at this painting you can get this feeling that the people and the shop are three dimensional. When the elements of design form‚ is used in this painting‚ to me‚ it looks more realistic and gives me the feeling that the people are actually there and alive

On November 12‚ 2015 I visited the gallery Lyric Modern created by an exceptional artist named Hal Marcus at El Paso Museum of Art. My first thoughts of visiting a museum were “boring”‚ “unexcited” and I just imagined myself going one work of art to another and describing it as if it was the textbook. As soon as I stepped into the museum my whole perspective changed‚ and at the end of the visit I had a different mindset. Lyric Modern was an outstanding exhibition‚ I did not only describe each composition

Andy Warhol’s 1985 painting‚ Apple‚ certainly caught my eyes as I was browsing his exhibit in the Blanton Museum of Art. The painting was a simple Apple logo decorated with a rainbow-like array of colors in between parallel lines that ran across the logo. These lines existed even outside the logo‚ except in a different color‚ yet stayed in stripes similar to how the lines on a sheet of notebook paper are. However‚ the most alluring part was how the lines and the “Macintosh” in the painting looked

Distinctively visual images which can be seen‚ or perceived in the mind can shape the responder understanding of relationship with others plus the world around . The use of distinctively visual features has had a positive effect on my understanding of the novel Maestro by Peter Goldsworthy’s and the painting ‘starry starry night’ by Vincent van Gogh. This has been done through distinctively visual features such as descriptive and emotive language in Maestro and the use of colour‚ shading‚ lighting

I did an analysis on the irises. The subject matter is the same for both pieces. The first painting portrayed a highly realistic and very detailed iris while the second painting‚ by Georgia O’Keeffe‚ is painted to fit her unique style. The first painting is very strict in portraying realistic shadows‚ lights‚ and colors. The artist did a tremendous job with their technical skill‚ showing the browning holes of the green leaf and the velvety texture of the indigo petals. While analyzing this piece

The Bay of Marseille‚ Seen From L’Estaque‚ painted by Paul Cezanne‚ is a very beautiful painting due to its value scale with the complementary harmony of blue and orange. Balancing the cool and warm colors‚ we can make out that the color with the strongest chroma is blue.

The color and the value scale of the painting helps
