Essay on Art Exhibit

The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the

Among the many artworks I have seen, I decided to discuss about the “Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior Women)” from the Roman civilization. It was built sometime in between 140 A.D. to 170 A.D and is approximately forty and a half inches in length, ninety-one and a half inches in width, and fifty and a half inches tall in height (“Roman Sarcophagus”). This masterpiece appealed to me because of the unique approach that has been designed to honor the deceased. Many people are familiar with the formatting and inscriptions of a gravestone because it is usually engraved with an individual’s full name, birth date, and death date. During the Roman Empire, a sarcophagus, which is a coffin, was widely used to show decorative themes that includes: battle scenes, hunting scenes, weddings, or other memorable episodes from the life of the deceased individual. The most luxurious ones were made from marble surrounded by symbolic sculptures, figures and inscriptions on all four sides (“Sarcophagus”). Another feature that captured my attention was the large quantity of details used to bring out a lifelike aspect of the deceased individual’s favorable moments in their life. In this artwork, this sarcophagus was dedicated to a Roman commander. The exterior of the sarcophagus has been well-decorated and carved with exquisite details depicting a battle scene

After serving in World War II, Richard enrolled in the University of New Mexico where he painted the Albuquerque series, his master thesis. He was taking a flight above the clouds where he saw farm lands and farm roads. Albuquerque is an oil based paint on muslin that follows the idea of abstract thought. Richard is on of the greatest artist ofd the postwar era and many look up to him and his art abilities. I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the abstract thoughts paintings. However, they are absolutely stunning paintings. They can be seen in all modern places throughout the world. Abstract paintings are taking over the art world for their unique looks. For such an odd painting, art like this make you appreciate the thought behind

Understanding art is not always easy. If we really want to understand what a particular work of art, we have to see and to feel what the artist felt when I painted the picture. Some artists create works of art and some are just painted. Although Ernest L. Blumenschein and Kent Monkman are both respected artists of the concept of art and their work style is different. Although Ernest L. Blumenschein and Kent Monkman are both respected artists of the concept of art and their work style is different. While Ernest L. Blumenschein worked in the style that was first called "post-impressionist" and later modernist, Kent Monkman is working with a variety of mediums, including painting, film / video, performance, and installation.

The artist I received is Agnes Martin. When I first looked at her work I found it boring. Most of her art was just colors on the page; like her painting Night Sea (1963). Night Sea is a dark blue on a canvas that if you look closely may appear to be a lighter shade of blue in the bottom right corner. I thought “Is that all? It’s just the color blue. I could look at a colored pencil and see that.” I wrote her off as boring an uninspired without even looking at any of her other paintings. I also assumed she painted for money, not enjoyment.

When looking at the painting, everything is not completely described, when saying that, I mean that all not every detail is included in the form of his back shadows nor in the dark background. The form created is from creative decisions. Johann Carl Loth created the figure by using strokes that create a image of a male figure. For example, the muscles are created by using dark brown for the shadow tones and various yellow tones for the actual muscle. The illusion of a real male figure is created by each stroke.

The exhibit that I visited was located at the Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts in Florence, Alabama. The exhibit was created by Marian Baker. She created and set up her work as a solo show. The title of her exhibit is called Storytelling Time with Marian Baker. The show can be seen from November 27 through December 28. Her art is very whimsical and portrays her life. The art I viewed was unique, but had similar characteristics to each other.

When I was in middle school, I had a thing that was called exhibition. An exhibition was when you were given a topic to do research on and you have to do this big project and present it to panel of teachers and some students. My 8th grade exhibition was on the college I would like to attend to when i'm older and what is my future career goal. It was difficult for me because I honestly did not know what I wanted to do. I looked at the things I was interested and my favorite subjects. When I looked at the careers, pediatrician caught my eye because it involves science and kids. Those things are the things that I like and would have fun doing it when im older. The most difficult part was presenting it. I have a hard time presenting because I have

His style of painting combined many pictorial depth cues while maintaining realism throughout the relatively few paintings he produced. Then there is the Prussian artist, Albert Bierstadt, who was born

Everything is painted in black and grey, giving the picture the look that we would call "black and white". In the background, he paints rectangles simply out of brush strokes, creating an abstract look. This painting also has more of a "smudged" look than the paintings Tree and Red Tree, causing the painting to look more abstract and simple.

Artist: Emily Carr. Painting: Shore and forest (Cordova bay) My depiction: The dark oil paint on the paper kinda give this calming landscape a very rugged look to it. Almost unsettling. Lots of movement with the oil paint. Artist: Lawren S. Harris. Painting: From berg lake, evening, #4 in the "sketches of mount Robson" series. My depiction: I appreciate this one for it's multitude of tones. Though it is a monotone painting it is beautiful done in the day that the changes of color are melded together very well and that all the shedding is done marvelously. The mountain seemed so perfect and untouched. Tones and clean lines with oil paint has always been a struggle of mine.

The two paintings under discussion are by two famous artists of the 20th Century. They are Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon. Their paintings are based on the era of expressionism, where most painters were breaking from impressionism, which was embraced by the paintings of the 19th Century (Carl 47). Impressionism was based on paintings that only touched on the superficial objects, and not going in depth to explain the emotions around the paintings. Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon embraced expressionism to express subjective emotions, not just the objective part.

As a person who has been learning to play the piano for more than 10 years, I not only love music, but also am interested in other various forms of arts. Painting, which is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface, is one kind of arts I love. Therefore, instead of having dinner with friends, I went to the Emporium Center and visited “The Fall Juried Show: 41st Fall Art Exhibition” at 6 pm on last Friday.

The Son of Man is a self-portrait. The painting represents a man in black coat pant with white shirt and a bowler had on his head. He is standing in the front of a short wall. The background shows sea and above it, there is sky with dark gray clouds. The surprising thing in the painting is that the person’s face is covered with a green color apple. The man's eyes can be seen looking over the edge of the apple. His left arm is bend to backward. The artist explains that the painting shows the human curiosity to see the things. The person always wants to see the hidden part. There is always an interest to see what is hidden and what the visible thing is hiding behind but then one is often angry with this interest. This painting brings that frustration or angriness in this painting by putting the person’s face behind the green apple. The argument between the observable that is available and the noticeable that is covered up.
