Artist Observation

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.

When you step out of this room to the photography room on the right your feelings within the surrounding change once again. In the first room of the museum the tile is white and thus reflects light, creating yet more light in the surrounding area. The walls go from light and colorful shades to a medium tinted of gray creating a more plain mood within the room. In the side room full of photography the flooring changes from white large stone tiles to wood panel flooring. The opening to this second room is an opening the wall rather than another doorway but instead of the opening stretching all the way up to the ceiling, there is a thinner horizontal plank at the top that is an almost metallically aluminum color. The space is divided up

The gray, bland walls still hold my drawings from years ago. Blood scattered around the room adds some color the dull, grey walls and floor. The only source of light comes from a small, prison-like window. There’s no bed or anything. Just emptiness. In the far corner, a chain with blood dripping off it hangs.

Mounted sculptures sat as still as stone atop the shiny wooden floors, while self-portraits and clay figures decorated the tall, white walls of the gallery. Walk around for a bit and you would catch a mother’s stern warning to her child to absolutely not touch anything (though the large, partitioned room did resemble a modern-day cave of wonders). And among

The construction of the picture space, impeccably correct from a mathematical point of view, is characterized, first, by the extreme shortness of the perspective distance which, if the room were drawn to natural scale, would amount to only about four feet; second, by the lowness of the horizon which is determined by the eye level of the seated Saint; third, by the eccentric position of the vanishing point which is little more than half a centimeter from the right margin. The shortness of the distance, combined with the lowness of the horizon strengthens the feeling of intimacy. However, the vanishing point prevents the small room from looking cramped and box-like because the north wall is not visible; it gives greater distinction to the play of light on the embrasures of the windows; and it suggests the experience of casually entering a private room rather than of facing an artificially arranged stage.

The boards on the walls and floor are thick lines that could be implied lines. These lines are visual and follows the space of the room. It creates a sense of directional movement. Implied lines form a sense of enclosure and connection as well as movement and direction. Texture creates many sensations for the viewer. The roughness of the boards gives texture and the way the light shines causes shadows in the room. The fabric gives a softer form of texture and a feel of warmth. These two forms of texture works together and pulls the room together.

This artwork is on display at the Zuckerman Museum and is a part of their Gut Feelings collection which focuses on relationships with food. This media is a photograph and it depicts the aftermath of a meal that has taken place in bed. In the formal analysis, the author utilizes the formal elements of space, time, light, and color. Space is especially important due to that part of the meaning of the photograph comes from the environment that it was taken. The picture shows an extremely cluttered space with several items surrounding a piece of negative space in the bed where there is nothing there. The picture also reveals that the space is cramped and whoever sleeps there has a miniscule amount of room since the nightstand is squished between the corner and the bed. The way the photographer utilizes time is peculiar because in the picture there is a digital clock that shows the time at 9:44 and based on the kind of food on the bed (Kentucky Fried Chicken) we can assume that it is 9:44 P.M. instead of A.M. The photographer also manipulates light in a particular way as well. The photograph is relatively dark around the edges and the only light is illuminating from the lamp on the table. The light coming from the lamp is a dim yellow color which leads into the last element of color. In consideration of the

However, wandering further into the exhibition, one encounters a room filled with purely abstract, monochromatic master pieces. While perfectly rendered, single color abstractions vary in scale and proximity, they create the semblance of space which is very endearing and peaceful. The pen and ink sketches are crisp, and precisely executed, with the consistency of a wood or linoleum block print.

With a career spanning over 50 years, James Turrell has created a vast body of work that explores the properties of light, perception, architecture and space. His unique use of light installations and projections as a medium creates a psychological experience for the viewer, forcing one to bring their exclusive perspective onto the work. Subsequently, this creates a stimulating heightened sensory awareness in the receptive viewer. James Turrell’s work as a minimalist with a background in perceptual psychology has shaped his captivating artwork by exploring how light and color are perceived by the human eye, how space is manipulated to create an all encompassing sensory occurrence and how his style of visual communication is based on the audience’s individualized experience

When one looks at the East Carolina University campus it is not hard to pick which building has been delegated to the art students. From the outside Jenkins Fine Art Center would spark anyone’s curiosity. It is a building that resembles a geometric pinecone with windows that scale a portion of the facets. Some of the windows have curtains, but others offer a glimpse into classrooms and artists studios; where people can be seen striving to develop the next revolutionary art piece. In front of the building sprawls a grassy field littered haphazardly with large abstract sculptures and accent trees. The back of the building is somewhat of a visual juxtaposition to the front. Commonly referred to as the yard, it is a courtyard surrounded by a tall brick wall and an iron gate, making one question weather it was built to keep the normal people out, or the crazy people in.

Setting up a living room in a Bohemian design allows the person to be diverse. Let us start with everything you ever bought from a fair, when you went visiting somewhere, or even the little hand-made things your grandmother

Rather than reading the Dutch dwelling's interpenetrating planes as an aesthetic contribution to the history of heroic modernism, Friedman explains how its modern spaces were used and understood in modern (and intimate) ways.

One place that I see every day but don’t put much attention to is my house. The house that I live in is near by a park and a gas station. My house is small and cozy is made of steel frames, the anterior part of the house has a beige and pink color that combine a beautiful shade. The inside of my house has many portraits of family members and drawings. I have a total of two bathrooms and four rooms a kitchen and two living rooms. We have a living room that’s used for grown-ups and the other one is used for the children. The kitchen table and chairs are made of wood, in the ceiling there is big chandelier. The walls of my house are painted in different colors that are green, beige and pink. I like that every room has its own different color, it’s not boring it brings life and shade.

The White Cube is an exhibition space where the purpose is to ensure the ideal environment for the artworks. Normally it is a regular discreet and clean room with sealed windows. The walls are painted white and undecorated, the floor is polished and every piece of furniture is deleted, except for the entrance desk. The hidden sources of artificial light come from above and they are adjusted to create a homogeneous environment without shadows. This is because the art needs to be completely detached from the outside reality of the real

It looks as if it’s the same size as a football field. . As you step in, you immediately sink a couple of inches because of how plush the caramel colored carpet is. The long glamorous chandler hangs from the high vaulted ceilings. Immediately to your left is a marble sink, with silver pull out fixtures and deep sink bowls. On the sink there is an automatic soap dispenser on the right and an automatic hand dryer on the left. Both made of sterling silver. The burnt orange and brown colors on the wall are so bright, it looks like the sun is shinning directly above the room. The walls are covered with many paintings. Some of famous artists that color the walls are Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso. Many of the others are from unknown starving artist. To the far right of the room there is a solid wood bar hutch that looks as tall as an oak tree. Any drink that you can think of, is there in that bar.
