Description Of The Quad City Arts Center Gallery

The six trees are very evident when you first look at the painting more often than not it will be the first thing that catches your eye. There are multiple rivers around the painting nevertheless they are all connected in some way. One of the other main focal points that grabs the eye is the white

4. Space- Perspective is demonstrated in many ways. This artwork takes up almost the whole canvas. The horses on the edge look like they were maybe even squeezed in. All of the characters in this artwork look to be congregated to the middle of the painting, besides the villages in the distance. Linear perspective is used in the placement of the villages in the background and in all the men and horses, which are grouped in the middle of the screen. Looking at the features in the painting I notice the use of overlapping and vertical placement, which both imply depth. The horses overlap each other as well as the gentlemen and other elements of the painting. The brown horse’s head overlaps the black one hiding its mouth. The villages and hills in the background appear to be very far away (diminishing size); they look smaller and distant from the rest of the main aspects of the painting.

Here we mainly talk about three buildings. The first building of the Art Center was built in 1943 and actually was the first museum built in the United States and is a distinctly modern building. Its name is Saarinen Building. It’s an S shaped building located on the crest of a small hill. The S shape creates a battery of wings connected to Saarinen’s building from east to west side, include different aspects of the center such as the auditorium and the classrooms. The building has a flat roof which constructed of reinforced concrete and clad in Lannon stone from Wisconsin. There’s an ongoing program called Smart Sunday which is for families. The purpose is to engage in a variety of community’s children and their families and it’s responding to either a permanent collection object or temporary exhibition such as tony feher. The second building is I.M.PEI building built in 1968 which is the Chinese-American architect designed. It slopes down at the south side of the Saarinen’s open courtyard. It’s made of two materials class in concrete primarily. I.M.PEI took the same concrete and bush hammered stone from Saarinen building. But after 25 years later from 1943, there was a need to expand and large-scale works. So actually this building is totally different than the Saarinen building, it’s massive, open, and heavy. And Jackson Pollock painting which painted in 1943 is an example of why this was needed

After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time, I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week, two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack. Though these two art works are similar in subject matter, they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract Derain being a Fauvist and the more realistic painter Benton representing the American Scene style as a Regionalist.

The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented by the canvas. It makes the leaves feel like they are slightly moving, this combined with the lack of detail itself the leaves. This is contrasted nicely with the very detailed renderings of the trunks and branches of the trees, the

This painting is very colorful and uses warm colors to make things blend together nicely. The trees are very upright and seem to be old. The leaves are turning colors to orange and yellows. Then below the trees on the path there are rocks that are quite large in comparison to the trees. surrounding the rocks is dirt and little green trees poking out. The barren tree trunks are making the pictures focus point start at the bottom and making its way to the top. There is a very dark green pine tree behind the brown tree trunk. The lines in this painting are mainly going straight up and down but there is also a ton going horizontal and diagonal. The brush strokes are very even and not easily spotted. While the artist made the sky overcast with a cream color paint, there are no shadows created by the objects in the painting. In the background to the left there is a mountain that is darker than the other

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.

As we look towards to the back of the painting we see the mountains getting smaller and becomes blurry. Next, there is movement. We know waves crash and in the front

The mesmerizing painting created by the 20th Century French artist Paul Cezanne portrays how even incomplete works are capable of depicting its own form of art and overall experience. His painting On the Banks of a River is constructed using oil on canvas and is an unfinished lifelike rendering of a natural scenery; well-preserved today at the RISD Museum. Cezanne’s process of painting and his techniques are clearly discernible in this early stage of art. Likely using a wide brush, his paint strokes are both purposeful and confident where his objective is to present only the most vital parts of the piece and each object’s location, creating an artwork made up of blocky, thick, and layered strokes similar to that of impasto paintings (a technique that layers large amounts of paint in order to form a larger picture). From close up it is challenging to distinguish the subject of the painting besides multicolored blotches of paint, but at a distance one can grasp the different shapes and colors merge to form a complete landscape. There are also three layers to this work, each diverse and together offers a sense of depth in the form of overlapping grounds and value contrasts. The foreground is the warmest, composed mainly of a sandy yellow color dotted with gray streaks possibly representative of stones or pavement, with some blue highlights to contrast the dirty yellow. The middle ground is the most detailed and consists of many dark colors and bright red and yellow geometric

I was peering out my window on that gloomy winter day when I was reminded of the cultural log that I had yet to accomplish. After considering several options, I decided that that day, January 3rd, would be the perfect day to visit the Northville Art House. I had never been there before, so I thought it would be an ideal experience to start off the new year. Soon after that initial idea, my Mom and I drove to the art house in a quest for art and cultural experiences to bring with us into 2017.

First, I notice in this art work has some implied motion because if you notice in the background of the art work you can see some people gather together without any animals, and also if notice the animals and the children are together on the other side of the mountains, This is what makes this art work more interesting is like if the adults are looking for their children but now the animals are taking care of them. This things make me question the art work it took me almost one hour to fully understand this painting but honestly am not sure if what I understood is right or

Although clearly a documentary image of the scene, the photograph also employs many of the artistic conventions of landscape painting. The narrowly focused composition does not allow the viewer’s eye to wander through the

The gallery’s main achievement is to give the students chance to spread the motivation and the diversity that the gallery lives for among different cultures as said on their website (Kean Galleries). Recently, it was remodeled into a new theme from three artists, named Susan Collett, Julie Oakes and Christian Bernard Singer. The new theme reflected in the world of nature and the gallery has every aspect you can think about natural world. I took the time to analysis each work of art and all I could think is the amount of time, patience, and imagination behind it which is truly

“Under”). One could mistake that the focal point is the little figure under the birch tree who is a priest. However, the main point in this landscape is all about the birches. The reason why one could say so is because of all the visual elements such as: the birches are in the middle of the painting; they are also the most lighted objects in the painting (light is shining in the form of an oval) (National Gallery). Due to the levels of lightning one can see that the picture is divided into three horizontal parts: the top (dark, but not as dark as the bottom of the painting); the middle is the lightest; and the bottom is the darkest. This means that he used what he learned about the Dutch style and mixed it with his personal style thus we have a whole new way of seeing his point of view.

This, folks, is Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a painting that was fantastically brought to life by American art legend, Albert Bierstadt. In simple terms, the way I feel about this painting is that I no longer need to visit the Sierra Nevada mountains, because now I have already seen it. In fact, it may even be a disappointment to go see it because Albert Bierstadt is able to do something with light that many cannot. Clearly, the detail in this work is far, far greater than the previous. One, the water flows, or it seems it. The ducks are mid-flight suggesting further movement. The clouds, and mist are wisping over the peaks. The lighting is so realistic, and very well executed. When one looks at the peaks, they are urged to follow the
