Art Analysis Of Number 10 By Mark Rothko

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”.

“This is where you can find your soul, if you dare.” (Anderson, pg 10) This belief comes from the mind of the Melinda, the progantists, art teacher, Mr. Freeman. Art is truly a door to the mind of an individual, showing things that people aren’t able to say. It shows through images and colors what many people aren’t able to express in words, events and thoughts speaking through the medium. Art is growing as a use of therapy to heal and tell. Psychologists analyze their patients art at a psychological level, interpreting the image into words. One of the theories in art therapy, which is seen throughout “Speak”, is the idea that unconscious thoughts are expressed in an image. (Irvings)These images then can be explained rationally. Melinda’s three major art images, the half dead trees, turkey bone, and cubism represent this theory.

Joseph Hirsch’s painting Daniel was painted in 1976-1977. In 1978 during the153rd Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design, it won the First Benjamin Altman (Figure) prize. It measures 38 inches by 45 inches with a five-inch gold wood frame surrounding it. The medium is oil on stretch canvas. Everything within the painting centers on the king 's turned head and Daniel 's pointing finger. According to the placard next to the painting, the artwork depicts a modern day version of the biblical story of Belshazzar’s Feast following the sacking of Jesualism from the Book of Daniel. The painting portrays a seated king, a dozing courtesan and Daniel. The three figures exist as the focal point of the composition. Hirsch applies a strong

The brush that felt glazed with the abundant horde of a thousand corn leaves rusting from left to right stroked the blank canvas with an orange that reminds me of the Arizonan sunset. Another stroke and the background color of the canvas caught no sign of white. The neutral vibrancy of the painting that was the color of a broad lion was complete and was set for the next coat of paint.

An artwork piece by Timothy Kobs was called Frankster. Many of people may have called it Frankenstein. As a child Timothy Kobs enamored of monster movies. The most iconic was Frankenstein from 1931. The very old movies were made in black and white.

Many scholars criticize Neiman’s work because of his splashy, kinetic, and jigsaw-like style however; these critics have failed to fully evaluate Neiman’s work. Neiman is known for capturing many split second moments such as many of Muhammad Ali’s boxing matches and other Olympic events. Receiving much scorn, Neiman’s works are often dismissed for superficiality and garish among the art world. The common misconceptions have failed to acknowledge the discrete hints that reflect the development of African Americans. Leroy Neiman's paintings capture juxtaposition between frustration and aspiration through dramatic brush strokes, contrasting portrayals of community development, and metaphorical placements symbolizing the possibility of opportunity

The young, innocent, promising lives of our past drive emotions through artistic expressions that can be displayed though many outsources. Upon our day to view the art gallery, I entered the gallery feeling apprehensive that I would view any piece of art that I found relatable or even one that I found any interest in. I was wrong in my assumptions and found a beautiful painting named “Console” by Barlow Palminteri. Tasked with describing what the painting looks like, what it means to me, as well as my overall connection with the painting is what I’ll discuss within this paper. The painting’s colors, sizes, shapes, and artistic aspects drew me into its beauty and torment. Likewise, the painting reminded me of my youth that roused many different

The father's tenderness for Jonathan fills the painting, in which he cradles the boy in his left arm. The warm colors and loose application of paint hide neither the shadowed look on the father's face, nor the gentle vacantness on the son's.

The reason I this piece of artwork appealed to me was because of the vivid use of colors. The bright pastels of pinks, yellows, blues and purples caught my eye and drew me in. They created a bright, relaxed, elegant and uplifting feeling to the setting. What I thought was interesting was that at first glance you see a woman, but rather than looking joyful, she seems upset or confused. Due to the colors of the setting I imaged the women’s emotion would match the bright and uplifting colors. I thought the artist’s choice of color was unique because I would typically imagine the colors to be gray and black with the emotion of confusion and sadness. It really causes the viewer to have to examine the image as a whole as well as piece by piece.

A person’s state of mind and their emotions can be expressed in numerous ways without a word ever being spoken. In writing, a poet may share their heartbreak through verse, while a musician will spread their joy and happiness through melody. A photographer may express a moment of beauty and awe through a vibrant image, while an artist can use paint to silently convey turmoil using dark colors or shadow. Taking a more in depth look into the visual arts, it is evident that artists will often use their artwork, such as paintings, to convey an autobiographical account of different, but poignant periods in their lives. Some will paint their bare souls on to the canvas, leaving little to contemplated. Others make their loneliness and sadness subtle,

The piece that I am analyzing is an untitled work of pin striping on aluminum by two local artists, ModKustoms and Tanner Leaser, who signs his pieces simply as “Tanner”. As with most artists in this genre neither goes by their real or whole name. ModKustoms created the textured aluminum panel that Tanner used as his form to display his pin stripping. This piece was created in 2014 for a charity art auction benefitting the Scottish Rite Hospital (ModKustoms). The piece is a two-dimensional, rectangular work of art meant to hang vertically on a wall. This piece was created using aluminum, translucent candied enamel paint, and 1-one shot lettering enamel (Tanner).

Degenerate art, at one point in history shocked and bewildered its viewers in Germany during the 1930’s. The Nazi’s claimed that these works of art were considered dangerous and therefore, sought to destroy the pieces of art. Nazi Germany, during the 1930’s and 1940’s was ruled by an iconic figure named Adolph Hitler. Hitler, referred to himself as Hitler the Furrier and promised to the people of Germany, that there would be a formulation and the rise of a master race in which degenerate beings would be rid of. Hitler believed that a master race was to be comprised of individuals of German decent, blonde haired, blue eyed and tall in height. Those who did not correlate with his belief, were considered degenerates.

Filled with shades of red, the upper part of the painting comes to create a strong opposition with the black area below it, itself encircled by a darker red. This painting consisting of three floating rectangles in various colour combinations, creates a sombre mood conducive to spiritual contemplation. With the use of Rothko's saturated colours the viewers are moved

more on the emotion of the thing. E.g. there is a painting of a man

The analysis of children 's drawings is often assessed by Psychologists, particularly within clinical contexts, to interpret children 's emotional states. Drawing is often used as a form of therapy to assess psychological functioning, often in terms of relationships, traumas and anxieties. Crawford, Gross, Patterson & Hayne (2012) have in this paper decided to investigate the use of colour in drawings, as a means of reflecting emotion. They assessed the use of preferred and non-preferred colours for positively associated drawings and negatively associated drawings, alongside the conduction of interviews. Whilst the study was reliable, with the majority of the results replicating Burkitt et al (2003) experiment, weaknesses in the methodology and lack of control of selecting participants causes the internal validity of the results and hence experiment to be questioned.
