Frida Kahlo Still Life With Parrot

To start the analysis, line is what is going to be observed first. The lines are shown to be softer and less crisp along the clothing and faces, but becomes much sharper with things that need more definition such as the tiles on the floor beside the woman and child and the wood planks that the, what seems to be store clerk, is standing on. The faces of the people in this scene also contain contour lines, seeing how contour lines are the lines

Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.

     Obviously, lots of squares and rectangles are used in this painting. It helps the flow of the painting. When you notice one square or rectangle in the painting, you notice another one close by, which leads your eye around the room back

The lines within the composition draws the viewer into several directions. The ruffles draw the eyes upward to the Daniel’s finger as it points to the right. Daniel’s finger directs the viewer horizontally as it does the king. The table with its array of dishes is another example of a horizontal line. The king’s hands are holding a fork and knife. The fork is also pointing right where as the knife is pointing left diagonally towards the king. The courtesan, leaning against the king’s right shoulder, is another example of a diagonal line. The painting also has a vertical feel to it. This is evident in the composition of Daniel standing, the candle and the arm holding the cigar. Like every line, every color used draw attention to the object.

Frida Kahlo was best known for her reflective self-portraits that defined the tragedies she'd endured. Explaining her affection for the style, Kahlo said, "I paint myself because I am so often alone, because I am the subject I know best.” Kahlo contracted Polio at the age of six which left her with a deformed foot, she was also Bed-bound while recovering from a grisly streetcar accident. Kahlo under went over 30 operations throughout her life; and over the years she painted a portrait of herself whenever she was troubled.

On the left side of the painting a monkey he thorns that encircle his neck.  The red coral hanging off use as drop blood on his neck. A brown cat looks over her other shoulder.  A grey bird hangs from the thorns with beak its blue knots in the hollow of her throat.  His hairs piled with a purple shawl into a figure eight-like design with two butterfly-like creatures with lace wings visible on either side.  Two creatures fly above his head with a flower body and dragonfly wings. Kahlo Expression is solemn and appears to be patiently

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.

Line is used in every artwork ever painted. There are many lines in the tree, people, and mountain. The mountain has very curvy line just like the tree does. Lines are also used to separate where the farm ends and where the mountain begins. The lines also help give depth into the artwork where is separates the mountain and

Because of her variety of hues in the work, she uses muted colors to avoid a highly saturated painting. Her use of blue throughout brings the whole work together. The splash of red orange in the background helps create balance and unity in the work. Because red is complimentary to green, it makes the flowers stand out against the green bushes. This helps to balance the work without calling much attention to the background. The background in the work also seems to be slightly blurred which calls focus on the subject, thus creating less distractions for the viewer.

The Parrot Tulip, by Lowell Nesbitt, was painted in 1973 and was made by oil based paint on a canvas. Nesbitt was a floral artist that spent most of his time looking for the perfect flowers in nature. His work corresponds with the “Still Live, Dead Nature” where his work highlights inanimate objects rather

The dimension of the artwork is 66 in x 67 in which almost a square shaped quilt. The artwork is colorful with combinations of warm colors that can be seen in the pallet shade of red to yellow that can be seen in the buildings. On the other hand, the cold colors in a shade of blue are shown to depict the night sky of the city. The composition of the artwork is organize yet messy because almost every space is filled with the picture as well as the written aspect of Cassie’s imagination.

Throughout this painting mostly organic, vertical shapes and lines are present, however the braces that she wears are horizontal and geometric causing them to be out of

There is a wide variety of colors used. The use of darker colors in the background show that there is a lack of light, suggesting that it could be night time or sunlight is being blocked by what appears to be clouds or smoke from the fire. The brighter colors mean that it’s a light source or it’s something being hit by a light source. The only light sources in the painting come from the fire which is represented with bright red, orange, yellow, and blue colors. A change in value of colors represents shadows created by light sources.

The majority of the shapes are square or rectangle. It is very linear with very little curved shapes. This brightly colored painting does not have a ton of dimension.

The use of geometric shapes in this painting allows the subject to be viewed in both a recognizable and unrecognizable state at the same time. Overall, geometric shapes and patterns play an essential role in what the viewer sees, which is further supported by a powerful color palate.
