A Dead Fox Lying In The American Dog

In Berthe Morisot’s painting, she uses colors ranging from blue to green to yellow to orange. She uses paint thinly but in big brush stroke but her color was dull. Her brush strokes are in a cross hatching manner. This method of cross hatching creates depth and shadows on the foreground. Intermixed, in her piece are signs of dry brush strokes. Morisot’s figure is enticing to the viewer by staring back at the onlooker. Morisot’s painting looks very freeing as that is what she longs for. She has a sketch like quality about her painting.

One of the last topics we discussed in class turned out to be a form of art that probably interests me more than almost every other type of art that we have discussed this entire semester. That form of art is the impressionist style of painting. I really love all the different brush strokes that form different images for different people. I also enjoy much of the images that the impressionists painted, because they are usually very relaxed and mellow images that put you into a comfortable place. The post-impressionist period, especially very early post-impressionist, is even better I think. I think it’s better because it is just a little more refined and puts more emphasis on the figure and form of different objects. Since I enjoyed the post-impressionist’s

This painting used of numerous elements and principles of design. Using line showing the contrast between the animal and the floras. Also, the value (tone) and colour used containing dark and light in colours, the tone of the colour on the right of the painting is darker, and lighter colour on the left. Moreover, this landscape created an emphasis (focal point). An animal is clearly shown in the central of the landscape and creates a focal dominance.

The three most significant art principles I found in this painting are the contrast of the light and dark areas, the focal point being his aunt, and the sense of unity conveyed. The contrast of colors shows the natural cast of shadows within an

The uses of actual and visual texture manifest themselves throughout the painting. Actual texture can be found in the thick wooded area in the right of the painting where the top of the woodland canopy is painted in thick brushstrokes. It is also apparent in the sea, where thick, short brushstrokes give the illusion of movement and variations in height of the waves. Although rather elementary, visual texture can be found in the tree in the foreground, where thin, white and black lines give the appearance of volume to the bark of the tree.

The painting has contrasting colors like red, white, yellow and green. While it also has some dark colors to create a sense of power. These vivid colors create a complementary contrast. The dark red background with the gold designs makes the black man wearing the different shades of green stand out. Also, the white horse has various colors of brown and black which makes it stand out from the red. The main idea is to see the black man on the horse and you can tell Wiley thought the color scheme through. The contour lines Wiley used were organized, thin, and nicely controlled when it came to drawing the horse’s hair and body figure. Also, gold lines were detailed in the background creating a type of pattern to create an illusion. Closely, if you look into the background Wiley drew little sperms to complete the background. Lastly, the actual texture of the painting has a smooth finish. The oil on canvas painting almost makes it seem like if you touch it the horse would be silky

The first thing I noticed is a young two to four years old white boy on the right side of the painting. His left arm is around a male lion, and his right hand is holding a stick with some blue berries that resemble like grapes. At his right food is female lion and lamb laying on grass. Behind the lioness and the lamb is a hollow trunk of half a tree with yellow tree, a vine with the blue grape-like berries, green bushes, and hill that has orange tree and hollow tree trunk. On the boy’s left side is a white goat with black spots and leopard laying down on the dirt ground. Behind the male lion is a

The artwork my group of three chose to describe for this assignment is called Columbus Before the Council of Salamaca. William H. Powell painted it in 1847. The professor said to identify three stylistic characteristics, however I am going to identify four of my favorite stylistic characteristics. Theatricality, immediacy, human drama, and descriptive realism of particulars are the four stylistic characteristics from different stylistic periods I am going to pinpoint and describe in the painting.

Rather than using the wet in wet technique, this painting starts with an underpainting of the animal using grey, black and white acrylic paint. The student proceeds with oils

This section of the painting is shrouded in darkness, which is trait that comes with death and extinction. There are no longer animals that would be considered “normal” in this part of the painting as compared to the first image where everything was peaceful and all the animals were of natural origin. These creatures remind me of a scene from Oryx and Crake when Jimmy was injured at the gatehouse and was outsmarted by the pigoons with the human cortex. I think that this image shows that humans have created their own enemies and they are now seeing the repercussions. Another obvious point is all of the killing and death that is occurring in this painting which is analogous to the “flood” created by Crake.

The animals in the painting are depicted scarier then they normally look like. The main colors in the painting give the painting a little bit of a macabre feeling. Something that managed to get my attention was the amount of paint the artist used. The artist must have painted the same thing over and over again to get such a thick layer of paint on the canvas.

Mr. Courbet painted many pieces of art. As the Google site mentioned in the description above, Courbet pained nudes, portraits, and landscapes, which are my favorite of his. Courbet did not only capture the landscape but also the wildlife that lived in the area, which was the reason I was attracted to his paintings. Just the way Courbet captured the animal's movements in their environment. Courbet catches the size of the deer, you can tell just by comparing the two. Like the Courbet painting

Sleeping Animal is a color woodcut painting from 1912 by Franz Marc. The painting is housed in the Nelson-Atkins Museum Art in Kansas City, Missouri in the World War I rise of modernism. The work of art is rough the use of color, line and composition the artist has created a sense of unity and serenity.

The dimensions of the paintings are 7 1/4 by 11 1/4 in. (18.4 by 28.5 cm). The medium of the drawing is not identified, but from speculation I assume that he used either charcoal or pencil. The subject matter of this drawing is newly shorn young lambs. This art piece was in preparation for a painting that was going to be called the Salon of 1853. One of the elements of art he used was curved lines, straight lines, and thin lines. These elements are used in many different ways. The first way element used was a curved line on the sheep’s body. The second element, a straight line, was used for various parts of the painting. The last element was used for details on the sheep and the grass. These elements created texture and detail. The viewer’s eye is mostly drawn to the sheep because there is only two other things in the drawing. The artist is portraying a laid back and relaxed mood. Since the sheep are newborn, they look very dazed and lost but also very calm. In all, my feeling on this artist is overall very good. His painting are deep and bring out the darker parts of the world and sheds some light on them. I view him this way because of the way he says things. My favorite quote from Jean is, “I want to put strongly and completely all that is necessary, for things weakly said might as well not be said at all,” (Jean-Francois Millet). This is such a strong statement that it couldn’t be said any better.

This painting falls under the category of an impressionist painting. You are able to tell that it is an impressionist painting because the lines of paint are blended on the canvas and not on a pallet. The lines are little brush strokes and not big blended ones.
