Collage

For example, the subject of the Mona Lisa sits in front of a landscape and is centered in the piece with a portrait orientation. In Warhol’s art piece, Marilyn Monroe’s head is also centered, and Warhol also uses a portrait orientation. The placement of both subjects at the center of each artwork immediately captures a viewer’s attention. This placement works to creates balance and focal interest within the art pieces: the Mona Lisa balances the landscape in the background while Marilyn Monroe’s head becomes a point of interest in a negative space of a muted background. This placement allows the artist to control the viewer’s focus, perhaps an intention. Similarities also exist in the use of color. Although, Warhol use vivid colors to depict Marilyn Monroe’s face, the hue of the background color is a muted gold

The variety of elements of art and principles of design both establish the center figure as the focus of attention. Both principles and elements guide the audience’s attention towards the main center figure. The assortment of lines, colors, and shapes determine the movement and proportion of this piece, putting emphasis on the center women

Critically reflect on the positives and/or negatives of ethnic residential concentration as perceptible within specific landscapes in Sydney.

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

A reoccurring topic of the essays, concerning photography, discussed during the course is the future of professional photographers/photojournalists. Some believe that the easily accessible spread of amateur photography can and has put a strain on the works of professionals. However, with magazines such as National Geographic still in print after over a century, it raises some questions. Though the spread of information, and thus photography, has increased the platforms and need for professional photographers and photojournalists still exists.

Norman Rockwell, a 20th century painter was born in 1894. He depicted many scenes of American culture through his perspective until his death in 1978. I chose to do my looking assignment on his oil and graphite on canvas and wood “Framed”. I traveled to Roanoke to see this fine piece of art in the Tubman Art museum. When I first looked at this piece I was very drawn to the texture. By the looks of the picture I took, you cannot really tell that this piece is textured. This piece depicts a picture of a man who seems to be a museum worker holding a frame and essentially framing himself in it. In this piece you also see other pieces of art hanging on the wall around him giving him a wide variety of very expressive looks. You see in this painting that Rockwell used a picture inside of a picture to tell the story of the museum worker.

A composition must also be well depicted when painting human subjects. Alberti instructs on methods such as sketching the bones and muscles first and proportioning muscles using the head or length of the foot. He also highlights the importance of all members of the body looking consistent and fulfilling the function of what they are doing. The dead should look dead and the living otherwise. Humans and their actions must be consistent with other subjects in the painting as well. For depicting emotion, Alberti insists on the use of seven positional body movements that would apply to both living and inanimate objects, these include up/down, right/left, away/towards and in rotation. The

A photograph is often known as a window to the past. Through photographs, global progression in areas such as technology, culture and politics can be analyzed. The impacts of photos can be tremendous and define future issues, events and politics. One photo that has significantly defined the twentieth century is the "Bloody Saturday" photo (see Appendix A). The photo was captured by a Chinese-American photojournalist named H.S. Wong (also referred to as Newsreel Wong) on August 28th 1937, moments after the Shanghai Bombing in the midst of the Battle of Shanghai. The bomb was dropped by Japanese pilots as a result of growing tensions between China and Japan. The animosity was so high that only a few years later the two nations entered World War Two in the Pacific. Amidst the fall of rubble and chaos, Wong was able to capture an iconic image of a young, burned child all alone crying in the debris moments after the bombs were dropped. Reactions of public outrage became apparent as well as a dramatic increase in animosity towards the Japanese after the photo 's release. Ultimately, the release of H.S Wong 's "Bloody Saturday" photo, dramatically defined twentieth century politics through its display of Japanese aggression, the alleged scandal behind the photo and its endured global impact.

Throughout the film Image Before My Eyes, directed by Josh Waletzky, viewers are shown videos, pictures, and interviews regarding European Jewry from the late 1910’s to the 1930’s. Though this is a film explaining the events and upheavals that led up to the Holocaust, the word Holocaust is rarely ever mentioned. It is through the use of multimedia in this film that the devastating history of the Holocaust becomes illuminated. The film allows the viewer to begin to fathom the destructive events that occurred between the two World Wars as well as the secularization of daily life for Jews throughout this time period.

for this assignment i decided to do a painting. in this painting i depict the parachuter in the way i imagine the kids see him and in the way he really is. this is a really powerful picture if you look closely. it shows anyone who has read the book that fear is really the only monster here. it explains that there really is no monster and that the monster is in them. i chose to do this as my project for this exact reason, it really explains what the monster of the island is. I also very much enjoy painting so i decided painting would be a fun medium for me to work with. with painting also comes some difficulties. paint takes time to dry, causing problems with layering, because of this it took longer than expected to complete.even though it took

Starting life right after collage with 80,000 dollars plus in debt is extremely stressful in this already very stressful world we live in, and probably not the way you want to start your life. Teens just following paths of what their high school teachers told them to do or their parents wanting their kids to succeed in life and go the best collages out there. Nevertheless is collage really necessary to get a good job these days? Some say that a collage education is mandatory and if your kid does not go to collage then he/she isn’t going to get a good job. While others say that your kid will be perfectly find without a degree in fact better than some if your kid doesn’t go. I for one do not believe that collage is not as important as others see it and is over rated. So for people that are just not cut out for collage you shouldn’t fear.

My artwork is a portrait of Max Colley Jr. It is a head and shoulders portrait that has a light blue background fading to dark blue at the bottom. The blue represents Max’s blue eyes, his band called the “Blue Max”, jazz, the “blues”, and his love for the Detroit Lions. In order to create this portrait, I had to start by making an outline of Max’s face. I then added the skin tones, highlights, and lowlights. This was the longest and hardest process of the entire portrait. Once his skin was done, I added the eyes and the hair. His eyes were a blend of color including different shades of blue, dark purple, green, and brown. His hair was a mixture of white and dark brown to make different shades of gray. Streaks of white helped to make it look

Next is the use of color, or lack thereof. The colors in the background are very quiet and muted, mostly subdued blues and grays with hints of a deep red and brownish yellow peeking though. The colors used for the figure are browns and tans, almost as if the was painted with mud, like she is all-natural and from the earth. The range of colors would seem to have a cool tone if you were looking at them on a painter’s palette but the arrangement of color on the canvas gives the piece a warm feeling.

On Instagram, I recently posted a photo of me and a couple of my friends after our first cross country race of the season. The caption shows my excitement towards the new season and congratulates everyone on their first race. In the big picture, this photo is one of many photos about cross country. However, as much as the picture is directed to the entire team, an intent of mine is to excite and calm the new members because, mentally, cross country challenges people to an extreme point.

The first thing that stands out in this painting is the color scheme. From far away, the warm colors of orange, tan, and mahogany seem inviting. The home seems friendly under a slice of turquoise sky. Shadows heighten the look of the fading sunlight upon the
