The piece of art I chose from this chapter is the oil painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. Created in 1942‚ Nighthawks depicts a lonely‚ all-night diner with three seated customers as well as one worker (Artic). The piece itself gives off isolated and empty theme; this is largely due to Hopper’s use of space and color. The aforementioned diner is the only light source within the painting‚ leaving the an eerie‚ fluorescent glow on the surrounding outside area (Totally History). Nighthawks’ historical

For my final art paper‚ I chose my favorite work from my favorite artist: Autumn Cycling by Rob Gonsalves. In this piece‚ the first thing you notice is there are three boys riding bicycles on a street covered in a bed of orange leaves‚ surrounded by trees without their leaves. There are a few houses on the street‚ and also some streetlights‚ which would make it seem as if these boys are riding their bikes in a neighborhood. Though at a closer look‚ the leaves on the street double as leaves on trees

Stated by Vincent Van Gogh‚ the quote “Art is to console those who are broken by life” is applicable to people who self-express through creativity. When suffering‚ a person’s mind is a cage of raw emotion‚ holding each dark thought hostage. People implode very easily‚ and feelings have a way of capturing people and can gnaw at their insides incessantly. However‚ creativity and self-expression through some form of art can be truly cathartic for those who need it. Putting emotion in the words of a

Courbet (1819-1877) is a realistic painter‚ in that a majority of his work is about everyday scenes‚ often depicting peasants and working people in rural areas. Howerver‚ Courbet is also an artist who challenged the traditional painting in the middle of the 19th century. Courbet introduced a new kind of realism‚ which focused on a rugged depiction of nature and people rather than an idealized and artificial one. Most paintings of the time showed wealthy people‚ whereas Courbet who was politically

The famous artwork that I chose to recreate is [ Composition II in Red‚ Blue and Yellow]‚ which is made by Piet Mondrian in 1930. The reason why I decided this art piece is really clear and easy to understand‚ this one is the only artwork in the Abstract Expressionist Art period that I could paint and my ability and talent could afford. Actually‚ Piet Mondrian was not from the AEA period‚ this talented Dutch painter was a donor to the De Stijl art movement and group. De Stijl means ‘the style’ in

Andre Derain’s The Houses of Parliament from Westminster Bridge‚ 1906 is a direct contrast from the original series painted by Monet. While Monet tended to use soft colors that would represent things that would be seen outside such as a purple sun during sunset or a bright orange‚ yellow‚ and red spot where the sun would be‚ Derain broke against the natural mold and used extreme color when extreme color was not always meant to be. In this painting specifically‚ we can see a green sky‚ a bright

Art Can Be Anything As you look at the paper‚ you may see a mess of colors and think how in the world can this be a painting? Once you look and think deeper about what the picture could be‚ the true meaning is revealed. The intricate lines of my fingerprints are clearly visible. All of the fingerprint patterns and the details from each handprint are created differently. Each handprint is not the same.
