Album Art Review

Art History is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts. The history of art, we feel, can sometimes be confused with art criticism. However, Art History is concerned with finding the value of the artistic piece in respect with others in the same category of art or movement, and art criticism is more of an evaluation of art. The art examined best represents the culture during the time period, visions the artist imagined, and history behind an event. It also represents society in a specific area, beliefs the people may have, writing that tells a story, the natural world and environment, conflict between people and areas, and the human body. With these representations, artwork overall represents the life in which we live (d). Each piece has its own genre, design, format and style to it. This makes each piece extremely different, yet pleasing to the eye. They also vary between paintings, sculptures and architecture. These different types also make a variety of artwork to be seen by all people. The art pieces that I chose, Jar, Bottle and Glass by Juan Gris, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí, and Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, seemed interesting to me and I believe to best represent the context in which they were created, along with the major artistic movements of the time. I went on to research them more thoroughly to better understand the history behind them,

This artwork appears to be an abstract piece made from magazine clippings to create a collage. The artwork is a vertical piece that measures approximately 17 x14. It focuses in on the subject of a girl who is created out of neutral colors. She stands out against the rainbow background. In the background each clipping has a different element and pattern, but they all work in unison creating a rainbow background.

Album covers are an important aspect in the music culture and industry. Many album covers vary, depending on the artist itself and music genres. However, all album covers are meticulously designed to represent an artist’s vision and work from their music. Musicians will choose an album artwork that represents them and their music. BADLANDS by Halsey and True Colors by Zedd are respectable examples of artists who choose their covers based on their inspirations. These two album covers are well thought of and beautifully created with depth and substance. Music is art, and so are album covers.

abstract, painted with energetic brush strokes, it has some kind of silence to it. Dana Schutz did not use her usual tropical color palette to paint this painting. The artist used yellow, brown and white tones mixed with black and red. Image is showing Emmett’s head and a torso quite zoomed in. However, the angle is different from a photograph, in a painting Emmett is positioned horizontal to a viewer. Emmett is wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt. The tuxedo is painted carefully, with clean lines and with a red rose positioned on tuxedo pants, which I found quite surprising, because usually flowers are placed on lapels of tuxedos. Emmett’s face is destructed, there is a visible deep cut in the paint. A lot of paint was used to paint

For this weeks artist, we were asked to summarise the information provided to us based on the artist, Tracey Moffatt, and research other information to include in the summary. We then had to gather four images of her artworks and write comments on them including, our thoughts, opinions and other general statements about the image. Another requirement of the two week task, was writing about what we personally thought our chosen series produced by Moffatt was about, and also including a short 200 word paragraph on what image we would add to the series and why. The last task was to create an artwork based on Tracey Moffatt’s style of art.

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

The way the shadows were cast and only a portion of the scene was lit gave each scene a feeling of paranoia, and I wanted to evoke that same feeling of paranoia through a still image. I'll admit, my original idea was inspired by the Close Encounters SNL sketch, but because I thought drawing aliens would be a little weird, I did the second scariest thing I know: dentists. The original sketch was done in pencil in a notebook, then I lined it and colored it on photoshop, customizing brushes to get the effects I

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

Panic! At the Disco’s latest album Death Of A Bachelor is a wonderful album but the album is not a memorable album. The album itself can be about two things the first being a man who used to party extremely hard tried to be forgiven by God but sadly ended up dying and then hopes he will be remembered after his death. The other thing this album could be about is how a guy who used to party hard was forgiven by God then married a woman who turned out to be abusive and then he talks about after fighting what it was like before they fought and how he hopes he is remembered by his ex. The album starts out with fast upbeat songs and by the end of the album in the song “Impossible Year” the beat is slow as well as the singing and it is a very saddening song. This is compared to the first song in the

The first artwork I chose didn’t have a title with it but it was drawn by Douglas A. Beckett. I went to the Activity Center of San Marcos with Geoff Bretches and Alice Horn (My mom). The painting is a portrait with multiple types of rock looking shapes. You can’t really tell what the time of day was but it looks like it was outside on a mountain or cliff. It is a vertical realistic piece. The artwork was made in the contemporary period because it was drawn just last year. There is just a cluster of a bunch of big rocks surrounding pebbles. The artist must not be that famous currently because I couldn’t find any information on him.

Another prominent album cover done by Andy Warhol is for the Rolling Stones album, Sticky Fingers (1971). On the cover is a black and white photograph of man’s crotch, clad in jeans. In addition, the picture has a grainy look with two red stamps of the band’s name and the name of the album. Just like with The Velvet Underground’s album, Andy Warhol went for the slightly dirty route and had a functional zipper attached to the cover. Unzipping the jeans revealed a pair of white boxers with Andy Warhol’s signature on the waist band. Rumor has it that Mick Jagger asked Warhol to design the cover after talking at a

In this cover there is an influence from Cubism. Picasso introduced Cubism which was based upon fragmented images (Guillaume & Dorothea, 2012). Such paintings made the viewer connect the parts like a puzzle. The technique of collage was also introduced by Picasso. He represented everyday life by different pictures and materials and integrated them to make a single design. This introduced a 3D outlook on the paintings which also gave a new meaning by the combination of different objects. Rand, inspired by Picasso, followed a similar pattern in the design discussed (Bernard, 2005). He made the cover by collating a number of objects: the barbed wire, the shadow of the wire which indicates space depth suggesting texture, the name card and the double meaning portrayed by the artwork.

If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.

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

Artworks are those that use natural tools in an aesthetically pleasing way, to express some deep meanings desired by the artist, for which this art is found. These works can be analyzed by looking at a variety of aspects individually and these elements are often called elements They are very useful for criticizing or understanding any artwork as a whole. The materials used by the artist creating the artwork in the documentary "Mystery Masterpiece", the shape of the work is the shape of which it is, including its size or its volumetric perception, and the artwork has three dimensions; the depth as well as the width and height, the three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture, yet the two-dimensional artwork can achieve the illusion of the
