Painting #1
The first painting depicts a young woman lying in a field on a farm in what appears to be an awkward position. She may be experiencing some type of internal or emotional pain which may have temporarily halted her ability to move. The field is very close to what one might assume is her home. The painting appears very somber and melancholy and I would hypothesize the young woman is longing for something she might have recently loss; possibly a relationship or significant material possession. The woman gazes towards the house as if she is waiting for something. The colors in the painting are very neutral and the feelings provoked are those of sadness. Another hypothesis could be she is pondering her life path and struggling to

The girl’s expression is sad and her eyes somber; she appears to be assessing herself in the mirror. She is holding a magazine which is open to a picture of an attractive older woman and there are beauty items on the floor next to her. There is an old doll that is carelessly thrown on the floor; it would appear that the doll is not very valuable to the girl. This painting is also very somber and it appears the girl might be comparing herself to the woman in the photo. This could signify her unhappiness with her appearance and her perceived need to look like the models and actresses in magazines and on television. The transition to adolescence is very difficult for young girls and they are very self-conscious about their appearance. The colors in this painting are also very neutral and …show more content…
The colors are vibrant and the body language of the characters in the painting as well as the musical instruments elicits feelings of happiness. The painting illustrates a band one might see in a jazz club or parade in a southern city like Memphis or New Orleans. It could be a depiction of an exciting moment in the lives of the performers; it might also highlight a past memory with friends who brought joy to the life of the one of the characters. Music plays a large role in the lives of many; music is used to inspire, celebrate, and
The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink
So, I am sure there are some of us out there that have seen in a magazine or on a commercial or in some sort of advertisement a bulked out muscle head or in other words, the body of perfection that most could only hope to achieve by going to the gym. Next to that a promotion for a brand new state of the art bodybuilding supplement called PumpHD that was formulated and created by BPI Sports and the product is supposed to physically make you look and feel stronger. The very next day the decision is made to research this new product and get on the computer and go to their website. First thing they make sure we see is the home page with big, bold, and colorful letters that have the name and
Giving a physical description of the man, the reader also has a real visual of him with three different pictures. The visuals were placed according to where the topic is placed in the paper. At the end of the paper is a hidden gem, with Duke showing his support for his favorite team, the Carroll Tigers. His story was not that he has been a long time Tiger fan, but that he was changed by Christ.
This is an anti-smoking advertisement geared towards parents of young children. The advertisement is overall plain and simple; it gets straight to the point when you look at it and utilizes a dark theme. This anti-smoking advertisement is trying to evoke a sense of “parental guilt” into parents who smoke. The way the advertisement is able to do this is through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space.
The Dark Age of Greece refers to a period of time where all knowledge of Mycenae construction, painting, sculpture, reading and writing disintegrated due to Dorian invasion. One form of art that continued through the period of the Mycenaean downfall was the art of pottery. Pottery, more specifically vase painting, was the beginning of an illustrative development in Greek art and was considered a durable form of art because it ensured the survival of artifacts for long periods of time unlike other forms of art. The emergence of independent city-states within Greece took place around the 8th century, which in turn led to the formation of colonies to facilitate trade
The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the
Furthermore, the artwork portrays the way how people conduct themselves in their daily activities and presents their common values and attitude to life. For instance, the sculpture can be related to the problem of women’s rights. Although the lady is utterly sexualized and objectified, it is done in a vulgar way of a kitsch, which makes a viewer to think about the status of woman in the modern society. In addition, utilizing recognizable celebrities as a selling point could be considered a type of self-irony and reflection on the contemporary status of art.
At first sight, the painting viewers would realize a young girl floating in the water while she is crying. Viewers may see the painting has been created my hands after spending little more time looking at the painting. This painting is nice because it’s detailed, designed, colored in a nice manner. One does not understands painting much, may has a good understanding of this unique design. Her face is floating on the water as tears streams down on her cheeks while her eyes are closed simply shows the young women heart is
This painting draws from classical and modern ideas. It portrays both classical portraiture and the classic female nude. The strange part, however, is that in this portrait the head is a womans torso. On an elongated neck, topped with a full head of hair, there is a face that contains nipples for eyes, a bellybutton for a nose, and a woman's groin where the mouth and chin would be located. The shape of the neck and head also suggest a phallic representation of some kind. Behind this woman lies a desolate landscape and blue sky to complete a complementary color
In the painting I see a mantel with a clock and two cylinders sitting on top; I also see a mirror sitting above the mantel. Inside the mantel a locomotive is protruding from the wall. The locomotive is in the foreground and the mantel is helping the locomotive look that way. The mantel, clock, and cylinders are in the middle ground of the painting. The mirror and wall are in the background. The locomotive creates atmospheric perspective by casting a shadow across the mantel. So does the clock by having a reflection in the mirror. The detailing in the mantel uses linear perspective by lining up with the vanishing point. Details in the wall also use linear perspective.
The girl bored with her doll. There are three character in this picture a girl, doll, and a model in the magazine. Its late time, she wore the night dress. She played with the doll a lot and than she was bored with the doll, and took the mirror from wall, and put on the floor with the support of chair. She combs the hair and did makeup and seeing in the mirror and thought with herself in the heart that how beautiful I am. She also looking in the magazine and comparing herself with the model. She trying to be like that model but it wasn’t possible because she is only twelve-year-old girl and the model is twenty-five-year-old. Her mother was shouting on her and said “its too late you have to sleep” but she is still looking in the mirror and want
Ultimately, the actions of the people in the painting reflects to the French Revolution. The women taking care of her sick child and making sure that he or she’s oka. The little girl sitting down seems to be really lonely and sad because of how poor they are and how they have to work for hours. The old man playing an instrument wants to make the people in the room happy and to forget about their problems that they all are
Looking at the painting, immediately the viewers will encounter one of the first subject matter, the girl. In this composition, the
People visit museums, observing and critiquing the different exhibits and pieces of art on display—paintings, sculptures, photographs. Often times, a person will spend longer observing a particular piece because some aspect of it resonates with them; it strikes some unidentifiable chord. Art is meant to evoke emotion by creating or portraying something the audience can relate to. Jazz music appeals to the ears, just as paintings appeal to the eyes. Music is like painting with sound. It contains different colors and strokes, which are conveyed through variations in notes, chords, and rhythms. Both skill and imagination are utilized when making art; art is an expression of emotions and ideas. It encourages freedom and liberates people from the constraints of “right and wrong.” Saying that jazz music is not art would contradict the main purpose of art.
The format of the painting is vertical and is an oil on canvas painting. The girl, a maid that has dozed off after entertaining a visitor, is the foreground of the painting. She is dressed in a brown silk dress and lace neckband while a small cap adorns her ears and pearl earrings are shining at both cheeks. Her physical features are subtle, unmarked by feelings, even though her cheeks seem to be flushed and is smiling. The painting above her portrays an unmasked Cupid, which is an implied explanation of her dreamy smile.
