Analysis Of Contemplation By Anita C Young

He plays with shading as well, the trees are painted a dark blue color to give it the imprint that sun maybe setting in the piece, taking away light and instilling darkness. While Santa Cruz, at the bottom of the mountain, is completely dark due to the fact it is so far away from the eye. In the clouds at the top of the piece, the colors within that piece are analogous colors; you see this in the clouds because of the usage of pink to white, white to grey, grey to pink; all are

The work is very smooth and fluid making it appear much like a photograph. The oil is not built up on top of itself keeping it very two dimensional. The colors vary between dark and light throughout the painting. In the top right corner, the sun, outside the painting, shining down, aluminates the castle and also the lone tree at the bottom left corner. Besides the back cliff, the rest of the painting is in shadow and displayed in a much more melancholy tone. The colors that Cole focuses on, to display the sharp contrast between rock and nature, are mostly dark greens and gold. The striking blue of the river stands out dramatically from the rest of the colors and draws the eye after the initial citing. The grey in the cloud is the only place where I can find that shade of gray in the work, and it sets itself apart from the snow white clouds in the background. The color helps draw the eye immediately to the castle on the hill. My eyes then fallow the flow of the river down to the tree, which is illuminated by a beam of sunlight.

In this museum, we will be showing you artwork throughout history that all shares a similar theme in all of them. All of the art pieces in this museum all involve nature and seascapes, many artists throughout history have drawn nature and the ocean that is around them or beautiful place that they made up, but many of these beautiful landscapes were made with no specific theme in mind except beauty, many of these painting are supposed to depict beauty in the eye of the beholder, but many of these painting may still seem dark and gloomy.

In Edgar Allan Poe’s story, “The Pit and the Pendulum,” Poe, uses the horror elements of isolation, madness, and plot twist to add suspense to the story. In the beginning, the narrator is standing in front of what he describes as judges as they decide his fate, which adds suspense because the audience doesn’t know what could happen to the narrator when the judges punish him. Secondly, he is all alone, or so he believe. He is the only one experiencing the things that are being done, he is isolated from everyone and it is very dark. The narrator thinks, “My worst thoughts, then, were confirmed. The blackness of eternal night encompassed me,”(Poe 3) as he lays on the damp ground. Towards the middle, the narrator going mad because the Spanish

The brightness of colors is intensified in the whole painting seemingly due to the light source. There are bright and dark complementary colors that make the subjects three-dimensional. For example, the blue sky with the orange swirls on the bottom right. They create the most contrast when put next to each other. The tone of colors in this painting go from dark to fully illuminated.

There is a wide variety of colors used. The use of darker colors in the background show that there is a lack of light, suggesting that it could be night time or sunlight is being blocked by what appears to be clouds or smoke from the fire. The brighter colors mean that it’s a light source or it’s something being hit by a light source. The only light sources in the painting come from the fire which is represented with bright red, orange, yellow, and blue colors. A change in value of colors represents shadows created by light sources.

Mark Rothko’s painting “Untitled (Brown and gray)” from 1969 caught my attention when I first entered the exhibit. There were many colors being used throughout the showroom, but the subdued brown and gray painting caught my eye. At first, I had thought it was black from afar but when up close and personal with this piece the brown’s warmth shined through. Since the painting is 5 feet tall, the large amount of brown created a void of thought when looking at the canvas. The gray gave a sense of stableness and comfort because of the contrast to the dense brown above the light and airy gray. The balance of the two colors prompts someone to have some conflicting thoughts and overall feel comfort in having them.

The painting is dull and follows the chromatic value scale. It has an ambient light which is the sun that shines through the trees focusing on the woman on the swing which is the highlight. The statue of two angels underneath her acts of the shadow and the two men and the brushes are dark being the core of shadow.

painting which also ties into the scene being set at night in the darkness. Contrast is used well to

In his painting, there is a term to expressing how light varies from its original light. For instance, the background of the painting is adding with brown color, yet using tint and shade effect to the sun sets with distinctive brightness. Brightness is adjusted by horizontal movement, and Breton increases, and decreases his painting’s brightness at the background view. Upper part of the pieces, twilight shines with varying brightness, depending on the darkness of the sky surface. Brightness for the mid-gray tones in the surrounding space, with significantly affecting the highlights and shadows. Overall painting allows depress emotion. Figures is luminous such as the sky and houses, also for the woman, she is apparently describing with a energetic sense of natural, and mournful atmosphere. The light at the back part of the drawing gives viewers to pay attention to the woman rather than the background, since there is bright white T-shirt with dress, and the woman’s face. Breton uses tint and shade effect at the upper part of the painting, and clouding of the back scene maintains a tenderness. Breton uses bright light at the sun sets, and it expressed that it was the dawn and bring message with a bright future will come soon to the woman, and the

She created the “spontaneity and freshness…associated with sketches” through “[painting] on unprimed and unsized white canvas,” allowing her paintings to appear much more in the moment, a hallmark characteristic of Impressionist art. Sometimes, she would leave the edges of the canvas devoid of paint, furthering the sketch-like quality of her paintings. White was dominant in her palette, be it through the application of paint or the peeping through of the canvas, giving her paintings the luminosity she desired. Her palette consisted of vibrant colors that “[were] admirably suited to her essentially feminine subjects” and she created the illusion of depth through

In this artwork She used charcoal. When looking at the artwork I notice how emotionless and tired Kathe looks. The use of dark shading around her eyes signifies the pain she feels within. The contours on her face are quite dark therefore emphasis her wrinkles and her sorrow filled eyes. I notice the significant amount of black shading concentrated among the eye area therefore inferring that Kathe may have witness many devastating situations in the past.

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

From my early experiences with fashion, these lead me to continue to follow all through my academic process, my favorite classes all through elementary school were Art, this continued until high school. In high school, I explored more into the world of fashion and more behind the scenes of the fashion industry. During my junior year of high school, I took a job a K-mart I learned about not only fashion but retail. I learned a great deal in the job about visual merchandising, during this time through a class in high school we were given the opportunity to spend the day with the Austin American statesman, I was chosen to spend the day with marketing department, I learned a great deal and this really changed my outlook for my career path at the

On March 13, 1964, a young woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a man on her way home. She was stabbed and later, raped and killed by her attacker, all in front of 38 of her neighbors in their Queens, NY apartments. Despite hearing her screams and cries for help, no one had called police until it was too late. This is one of the most famous examples of the bystander effect, a psychological phenomenon, in which the likeliness of a witness to intervene lowers as the amount of witnesses increase, because each individual believes that they no longer have a sole responsibility to help. In a time where it is more prevalent than ever to just believe that “someone else can do it,” we need a hero to encourage us to take action ourselves. The biblical hero Moses demonstrated the traits of responsibility and courage to free his people from the Egyptians and, today, to inspire this generation to strive for what is right, even when others might not.
