Analysis Of Stone City By Grant Wood

This work embodies the period style because it contains avant-garde geometric shapes to define the forms, colors, and interpretations that were important to the Post-Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand with the shapes that exist in the work. The shapes tend to be simplified shapes, which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be broken down. Cezanne utilizes an array of geometric

Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.

Space and colors dominates this piece of art. The artist used a three dimensional space where the road angle created a 3-D look. The road is going narrow as it goes towards the back part and the artist make it look like more realistic by making the trees smaller as well. White and blue color dominates the drawing. Blue symbolizes so many things

The use of line in this piece is also very interesting. The artist employs a high horizontal line to create a plunging effect giving the piece more depth. Another use of lines in the image is to create focal points to attract the viewer. Lines are also used to separate the different sections of the painting. Overall this painting uses lines in dynamic ways that vastly enhance the viewers’ pleasure and admiration of the piece.

Line is used in every artwork ever painted. There are many lines in the tree, people, and mountain. The mountain has very curvy line just like the tree does. Lines are also used to separate where the farm ends and where the mountain begins. The lines also help give depth into the artwork where is separates the mountain and

Lines are marks going from one point to another in a specific direction. There are many different types of lines in this painting, specifically curved, actual lines. The curved lines in this painting are the lines that make up the river, specifically those that create the oxbow. Curved lines show energy and in this painting shows the movement of the river. These lines are actual because they are visible as they outline the border between the river and the land. This river also implies the principle of movement as the curved lines show the movement of the river. Another example of a line that shows energy would be the actual and diagonal line of the leaning tree. Diagonal lines imply movement and drama. This line shows movement of how the tree was once vertical, but after the storm is moving down and leaning towards the ground (Pitard). These lines both show motion as the tree is leaning, or even possibly in the midst of falling, and the river is

The horizontal line in the middle of the painting give the art piece the trick of depth. Also, the horizontal line infers to relax, rest, sleep, and calm, thus tie the theme of the painting together. Repetition of the small lines and the wavy look on the sand by the base of the mill lead to the impression of sinking whole. Long vertical lines a long both side of the painting were also present, it depicted the illusion of moving away or leaving behind the main object which is the farm. many other lines were presented it on the sand and wood all gives the delusion of movements. Natural light was present gave the painting the feeling of warmth and shades of some of the features in the painting. The overall presentation of this painting is asymmetrical balance, but in my opinion the Hogue tried to balance the overall appearance of the painting. For instance, items that were painting in one side, were also balance by different object on the other side. Looking even further in the balancing of the painting, the shadow of the mills on the sand were balance by the skinny cow on the other side.

As indicated by the shape in the foreground, the lines that signify the contour of the rocks and freestanding structure merge. The lines lead the eye vertically as it meets the center. When looking at the painting as a whole, the viewer can see how the artist uses straight

They complement the dark colors but do not over power them. While the yellows and oranges are easy to look at, the dark greenish black pine trees are not hard to miss. The leaves are warm colors while the dark trees are cool, opposite colors that clash and draw your focus toward them. Then at the bottom quarter of the piece is the rocks, which are not jagged like most rocks are, they sort of blend in with the dirt and overlap each other. The lines in this painting are unsymmetrical and have to prediction as to which way they are going to go next. All the lines in this painting are actual lines, none of which are implied lines. They draw the viewers attention down a path area and lose focus around a turn in the leaves. This painting exemplifies great harmony and rhythm. Nothing is overdone and never follows the same pattern. That is a great quality in this piece of artwork because nothing in the forest is the same. The proportion is to scale as nothing is too small or overly

A painting entitled “City On A Rock” will be looked at. It was painted by Louis Lozowick in 1931. This painting has entirely no colour: It is viewed as a black and white painting. “City On A Rock” shows a glimpse of a small neighbourhood overlooking a waterbody. Along each side of the water body, there are two bridges. The sky towering over the neighbourhood and bridges appears to be quite stormy. Another part of this painting is the power line that can be seen from the bridge furthest away from the houses.

The painting demonstrates diminution of scale, for the long palm trees at the top of the composition appear smaller than the long palm trees placed lower on the page. Not only does the artist use diminution of scale, but they also use vertical location. The bushier palm trees n the back left side of the composition all appear to be the same size, but because some are placed higher on the page, they appear to be further away than the ones placed lower on the page. The artist use of overlapping helps achieve perception of depth. By overlapping the trees it makes it look like the painting has much more depth. Because of all of this, the painting portrays deep depth, not only because of the multiple overlapping and diminution of scale, but also because of the multiple horizon lines, causing the painting to look like the road goes on over the hills. This painting is a narrative, and its focal point is down the road. As the roads begin large and gets smaller, the eyes follow the road until it ends.

Lines are paths or marks left by moving points and they can be outlines or edges of shapes and forms. Lines have qualities which can help communicate ideas and feelings such as straight or curved, thick or thin, dark or light, and continuous or broken. Implied lines suggest motion or organize an artwork and they are not actually seen, but they are present in the way edges of shapes are lined up.

When stone castles were first made they were an evolution of early castles. Stone castles were by far the best type to build at the time. One of the reasons they were the best to build was because they would last for centuries. Another reason to get a stone castle is that stone cannot burn down so they will survive a fire attack. The final reason why Stone castles are the best is that stone buildings could be built much larger and better that wood. In conclusion stone castles are the best to buy because they don’t cost to much, don’t take to long to build, and they last for

Giovanni is a famous urban landscape artist and is most well-known for is painting The Stonemason's Yard. Giovanni uses linear perspective with a single vanishing point at the center of the painting. Vista del Molo illustrates a palace on the right side of the painting with a waterfront marketplace to the left. Linear perspective is used to give depth to the paint. However, this is not the only technique the artist to show depth. The artist also paints the foreground much clearer with the background lack contrast and details to show the distance that the object are from the foreground. In the background most things tend to blend with the environment, the clouds with the blue color of the sky and the buildings all seem to be connected. As with Entrance to a Palace a light source is used on the left side of the painting to create shadows giving depth to each individual subject in the painting. The change in value is used to emphasize certain things such as the building on the left. Bright, vibrant color show that this building was of much more importance that the rest of the subjects in the artwork. The architecture seen in the buildings gives a clue of when they were built. The big building in background features a couple of domes and the building in the left have pillars and archway that are of the roman era. The presences of so many people indicated that this was an

Although the use of line and light is not as defined as the color scheme, they still play an important role in the overall organization of the painting. Gauguin uses curvilinear lines throughout this work with no right angles or sharp points. The outlines in the background are fairly blurry and some of the lines blend into one another. In contrast, the characters in the foreground are comprised of precise, sharp lines. Gauguin goes as far as lightly outlining the bodies with a dark line in order to give them a sense of depth. Light also serves to enhance certain aspects of the painting. Gauguin has been careful in his use of light to create some areas of brightness and some of darkness. The central figure glows in the bright light, which shines down on her from above. This light shows the importance of the decision of whether to pick the fruit or not. It is focused so directly on one area and is void in the others.
