Many artists explore their personal journeys within their artworks, as a way of understanding their emotions and the world around them, as well as discovering their identity. Sarah Fordham’s art is inspired by her experiences including her travels around the world, and also as a way to make sense of her thoughts, ideas and emotions. These elements are displayed in bright colours, incorporating symbols and patterns in her work. Her two artworks being analysed are called “The Big Call” and “Pokeepskie”.
The second piece, Cook Rorschach, is similar to Beryl in technique and tonal variation, but is very different in many ways. This image depicts Captain James Cook and represents the way history can be blurred and distorted over time. Its medium is oil on canvas and is 140 x
Oil on canvas, presented by Sir Colin and Lad Anderson through the Friends of the Tate Gallery, 1976
Jasper John’s 1983 artwork of Racing Thoughts and Byron Kim’s 1991 Synecdoche are both in the exhibited as part of the Whitney Museum’s: Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney Collection. Applying encaustic process, which is known as a hot wax painting, Jasper John created this screen-print with wax crayon on collaged cotton and linen. Jasper John describes this piece as a series of images that ran through his mind while he was lying in the bathtub. He included items he saw around the room and things he was thinking about. Some of the elements in this piece are his hanging khaki pants, the running faucet, a nail on the wall, a dirty window, a vase and a decorative piece on a piece of furniture. Until you read the artist’s description it is difficult to tell that the white smear of paint is, evoking a feeling of disorientation. His arrangement of his images is seemingly affixed to the faux-wood grain background with trompe l’oeil tape, thumbtacks, and a protruding nail. The scale of images in Jasper’s Racing Thoughts appears to be scaled to real life. The texture of the painting evokes feeling of an antique surrounding like a bathroom in a third world country. In addition, the colors and patterns in this painting, display how he is a person with many things going through his mind at the same time with unorganized thoughts. A panel of Byron Kim’s, 1991, Synecdoche is displayed in the Whitney Museum one section out of a four hundred panel ongoing project depicting the
Every painter has a certain style of painting, whether it's intentional to paint abstract or unintentional to paint as a modernist. I analyzed Abigail Kuchar’s artwork. She is an artist at Western Washington University. Currently, she is enrolled as a student and working on her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Recently, she exhibited her work in a Symbiotic Qualia, Western Gallery (group BFA Thesis Exhibition). Her ideas on visuals are very unique as compare to another artist. Her work is heavily influenced by reoccurring natural forms and patterns, representing, the specific shapes that have been successful in a variety of different applications. For example, the formation of bubbles, lichen, barnacles, anemones, spores, pollen, and seed pods, all have similar compositions. By creating work that includes these forms, the viewer is presented with something unusual, but vaguely familiar. Her material used in the artwork is environment-friendly.
The first piece that struck my eye was Vincent, a painting by Janice Kindred herself. Vincent is a painting done in acrylic. It is a colorful and vivid arrangement of a nature scene featuring trees standing upon a cliff that foray one’s attention. Upon looking at this painting, the sky fascinated me the most. It was portrayed in bright blues, pinks, and purples. When talking to Kindred, she informed me that in her paintings, she likes to do a layering
She prefers to work without any restrictions in order to achieve the sense of freedom that she needs in order to create. She tries new techniques by other artists in order to experiment with new things. She is fascinated by textures and uses her own methods to achieve textures in polymer rather than relying upon texture
I believe several fundamentals make for an inspiring or pleasant read. Therefore, the five profound factors that I have seen are the characters, the settings, a plot, the conflict, and finally the resolution that leads to the conclusion. A protagonist described by Shepard A. (1998) would be “your main character … [who] someone readers can feel something in common with, or at least care about.” As a result, the reader can add to the story through their own experience in life which allows the story to grow and build on understanding for the reader. Furthermore, the setting as illustrated by Now Novel (2016) would be the “… signal to the reader how they should read the unfolding action: Is there a sense of danger or adventure? Is the story reaching
Alison Moritsugu’s artwork is log painting, she used to use wood to represent her artworks. The wood used in her log series are collected from the areas depicted on the landscapes she paints on them, Moritsugu’s paintings emulate the optimistic style of the 18th and 19th centuries, she was using the cross section of a tree to paint.
She simply asked the artist to create, and capture a kind of colorful teenage restlessness with excitement, energy and potential. She wanted that to be put into color.
On my twelfth birthday, my father promised me a fresh paint set. Complete with a variety of majestic colors, and simple negative white canvases. The day I waited for arrived, and I, anticipating the day for a long time, felt jubilant once I opened the gift. I peered at the wide array of colors. Underneath this, I discovered five canvases. Neighboring the canvases, I found seven paintbrushes,
The 2D Portrait of Marie Gabrielle de Gramont, Duchesse de Caderousse was a stunning and vibrant artwork. The painting illustrates the beaming and joyful aristocratic life a lady. Elisabeth Vigée-Le Brun created the oil painting using great detail. The use of the brightly red color to excite and bring joy to the viewer. The artist also uses green color tones as a complementary color of red, according to the color wheel. This brings harmony to the overall representation of the painting. The 3D artwork The Ocean’s Coach was a visually pleasing. The artist created this carriage to stand out with its bright gold and red colors. Proportion was used to create the carriage’s dimensions to life sized. The individuals illustrated on the carriage
The medium of this particular piece looks to be oil on canvas. The composition is pretty simple with the main focus being an item of some sort being dangled and a portrait of one bird. There is a multitude of colors present in this piece. It is bright and soft with light and dark tones. The artist has applied the paint onto the canvas in many different angles and directions which makes the painting appear to have overlapping colors, coarseness and uneven texture. In the middle of the painting, there is a small horizontal space that was intentionally left blank. This separates the upper and lower portions of the painting. I have not noted any similarities in the upper and lower quadrants, but the artist was still able to bring about unity
