Distinctively Visual Analysis Examples

The flowers face many angles and are all different, most have contrasting shades of green leaves surrounding the petals and varying stem widths and lengths. This creates interest throughout the painting. To complement the bright yellow flower petals, Van Gogh has detailed a baby blue background with small, vertical and horizontal brush strokes. This contrasts well with the yellow flowers and helps to separate them from the yellow foreground. Also, to break all the yellow sections, he has cleverly used a lighted yellow tint on the bottom half of the vase, rather than shades, which he has used to outline the petals of the flowers. In doing this and by also adding light to the front petals and vase, Van Gogh has added a third dimension to his painting. Like Olley, Van Gogh has painted this artwork in warm colours to create a joyful and uplifting artwork to look at.

It really spoke to me about people and how they view nature. I believe that the world is a beautiful, pure place and should not be polluted with buildings and parking lots or whatever else we ¨need¨. What we need is to stop polluting the earth and appreciate it! If you really take a look around and observe nature it could change your life. If you are having a bad day, take a walk. Breathing in fresh air and looking at trees or flowers could change your whole mood around. Nowadays you can not go for a walk without hearing loud cars or having to wait at the light for you to get the OK to walk. This should be be the case, you should be able to walk without having a worry about any of these things. It is so sad that people do not care about the earth even though IT IS HOME. Everyone should think about their houses.. What would you do if people constantly through trash on the floor, didn't clean up and simply did not care about what the house looked like? You would be upset, exactly how earth is. People will liter and not care about what they do, but they should. What would they do if their beautiful home was really destroyed and they were left with

Within the second stanza, the symbolism of black smoke, dark streets, and asphalt flowers, prompts the reader to feel smothered by urbanization and industrialization. This was most evident within the juxtaposition of asphalt and flower, which shows urbanization has gone so far whereas its replaced nature

The picture I drew represents the scene in Part III of 1984 where O’Brien is torturing Winston and trying to get Winston to see and believe he sees five fingers instead of four. For Winston’s appearance, I decided to have his eyes droop and also emphasize on his wrinkles, so the exhaustion of the constant torture is conveyed on his face. Additionally, the letters ‘BB’ (Big Brother) and the number five are shown in his eyes because he finally believes he sees five fingers instead of the four O’Brien is holding up. The letters, ‘BB’, are drawn in his eye to signify that Winston is finally capable of serving Big Brother the way the party deems fit since all his individual thoughts are starting to decay. Furthermore, the letters ‘BB’ are also

The picture I chose includes the internal meaning about collaboration or cooperation between people and the nature as ‘Semiotic Ecology’. Semiotic ecology is language of sign, but also it could be music, popular culture, and arts which are trying to offer a different idea about environmental issues to connect how we think and remember the environment. This picture would include that people are playing with together in the nature and this means that free place where people can play with the environment includes lawns, trees, leaves, or terrestrial plants and animals. There is no specific sign at Fort Snelling State Park, so I chose this picture which can be meant connection between the nature and people as semiotic ecology.

What really makes this piece significant is its attention to detail, and also its lack of detail. All the bright and simple kid drawings of flowers that convey our innocence and ignorance are just simple. Their simplicity relates back to colors of a simpler time when we didn’t know anything, like we still do in a way now. In the middle of it all is the boy who represent the truth of what really is, his picture flawlessly contrast the colorful simple ness of the sketches with not only his black and whiteness, but also is seriousness. That outline of his body and gun alone is a drastic difference from the straight lines that make the flowers. Even the shading shows the professional step up the boys sketch is from his face and left side being white, and his right

This is an anti-smoking advertisement geared towards parents of young children. The advertisement is overall plain and simple; it gets straight to the point when you look at it and utilizes a dark theme. This anti-smoking advertisement is trying to evoke a sense of “parental guilt” into parents who smoke. The way the advertisement is able to do this is through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space.

“Civilization over Nature.” The title speaks for itself. Michael Heiman, author of the essay, depicts the change in nature that came with the rise of capitalism. Heiman elaborates on the Hudson Valley School and the way in which they portrayed the ideal and the reality. “The Hudson Valley was, and continues as, one of the most significant battlegrounds between the forces of production and those seeking protection of leisure and residential consumption amenities.” (Heiman, 197). The last picture, in Document 4, particularly relates directly to what Heiman says about the representation of the Hudson Valley paintings. This painting depicts a group of men working to transform their space and land into a residential area suitable for them, whereas, in the

This painting depicts a sidewalk café in France at night. There is a doorway to the front left of the painting that is painted blue, and is surrounded by a wall that gleams yellow from the outdoor lights. Attached to the wall, there is a large awning, and it covers the diners and the empty tables that are a part of the café. Above the awning, there are open window shutters

The Impressionist painting, “The Meadow at Vetheuil,” was painted by Claude Monet in 1879. The painting measures 32 inches by 39 ¼ inches. Claude Monet used oil on canvas. He was known for painting landscapes and scenes from life in Paris. The city of Vetheuil, where he lived, was northwest of Paris. It was a small village. The impressionistic style of painting came about in the mid 1800’s. Painters who painted in this style used everyday life as their subject matter. Paint was applied to canvases with short brushstrokes that could be seen on the finished painting. There was no blending and smoothing as in the past and wasn’t well received at the time by the art world. The lines in the Monet painting are very subtle. A horizontal line forms on the horizon and through the tree line in the middle. You can see some subtle curved lines at the tree tops. The dominate colors in this artwork are cool greens and blues with hints of warm yellow. They are realistic colors, as what you would see in nature. There are strong contrasts of dark to light throughout the green grass and trees to add depth. Colors are placed right next to each other to help show how light is reflected and to give the first impression of the scene. The color scheme is blue, green and yellow. This painting has realistic, organic tree shapes that have height and depth. The flowers in the front have a very loose representation of a realistic plants. Clouds appear to have curvy, smooth edges. They have depth due to the gray underneath. Textures from brushstrokes become thick to thin in the foreground. Small dabs of darks and lights also bring texture to the painting in the flowers and trees. The artist shows depth in this painting by objects becoming smaller as they recede. He also places the warmer tones in the front and cooler tones in the distance. Colors overlap and there is more definition in the front.

Artwork that depicts the environment is fascinating. Artists that create artwork about environmentalism and ecology tend to focus on nature as a whole or one specific thing from nature. They like to create artwork that shows how things shape our understanding of the natural world, show the changing of landscapes of the American West, or even artwork that addresses some of the problems with animal rights. Mark Dion is an artist who observes how ideologies and public schools tend to mold our understanding of the natural world and history. Robert Adams is a photographer who documents the issues about the changing of the American West. His photography shows how nature is being destroyed because of the fast paced growth of human living and society. Marco Evaristti is an installation artist like Mark Dion but Evaristti’s art focuses on animal rights. He uses living animals in certain situations to where the audience could potentially cause harm to the animals. This kind of artwork focused around the environment and nature really appealed to me because I like the outdoors and seeing animals in the wild. These three artists appealed to me because I liked their reasoning behind their artwork. I do believe urban cities are growing at a really

The artwork will be a full-color painting of Maria Garces drawing flowers on a notebook. The flowers have come alive and grow past the boundaries of the notebook and canvas. This piece will an 18 in x 24 mixed media work which may include things such as acrylic paint, oil paint, pouring medium, resin, clay, fabric, synthetic flowers, and wood.

Violent strokes of passion skimmed the canvas and whisked him into a world he was no longer in control of. A kelly green here, a slate blue there. The brush bristles perked up and promptly rendered his weak feet to where the easel sat. Hall Wyat knew better than to try and resist this feeling and followed wherever he was led. This particular morning it led him, not surprisingly, to the easel by the window. Here, he continued to slash at his current painting, a coveted image indeed. It depicted the Cyclamen flowers that inhabited the windowsill, in all of their deep blush colored glory, growing elegantly. Swiftly, before letting the beauty sink into his

Art work is not only visual it require other senses other than vision. Visual language involve lines, light, value, color, texture and pattern shape and volume, space and time and motion. In art, line usually has length and width unlike in math which only has length. Art has many types of lines for example they can be straight, broad, thin, jagged, and so on. The direction a line is going in can be meaningful. A horizontal line could mean sleep, quiet or inactivity. Vertical lines may imply aspiration and yearning (Lazzari 23). Diagonal line suggest movement because they occur in the posture of running. To understand any specific lines in an art piece you must look at the whole picture. For example in Shoki the Dmon Queller by Utagawa Kunisada

Anyone who struggles with making choices knows how hard it is to make the right choice. Everyday people struggle because of the choices they make in order to correct their life. In fact, it makes people nervous because they have the weight of the world on their shoulder. This shows that even the small choices the woman makes can lead her to hardships in her life. The image uses lighting, speech, and stance to appeal to the audience’s feelings.
