Hunt Symbolism

The artist used an array of colors in the painting to portray his idea. He used different values of colors to show the objects that are getting direct sunlight and those that are shaded. The trees that are in the sunlight have a lighter value of brown on their trunks and a lighter value of green on their leaves, while the trees that are in the shade have darker brown trunks and darker green leaves. The dirt road is a tan color with spots of darker brown to show where the shade lies from the trees. You can tell that the horses and wagons are in the sun because they have a lighter value of color and the artist used a darker

The painting shows a dry landscape scene of a broken windmill, sand dunes that are nearing covering the house, and a cow with its ribs showing that is looking for water in an empty tank. The birds are circling overheard to imply that something below them is dead. The fence is rickety to imply that the boards are dry and strong winds may

Painting Abstraction In the painting, Pastoral in the series The Course of an Empire, Thomas Cole emphasizes the theme of a pastoral landscape leading to the beginning of society. The painting highlights other abstractions. However, Cole’s striking and intriguing thoughts on human evolution through the chiarscrco technique in which an artist contrast both light and darkness to create depth as well as volume emphasize the beginning of society. A pastoral landscape is one that stresses nature and simple rustic pleasures such as agriculture and livestock.

This piece depicts the “men at work on the farm reflects New Deal era values of productive labor.”12 In this piece there are four men hard at work to build houses to live in and collect livestock for food. These men are seen cutting wood and placing said wood on houses for the roofs, as well as carrying live stock into one of the buildings for food preparation. In the background you can see the dark blue sky and green landscape and the many trees that go on for miles. Showing the great resources of the land they had settled

I believe Cole purposely avoided the appearance of unity in this painting. The separation between the two landscapes was not a peaceful transition. He wanted to show the diversity between the natural land from the cultivated land.

In the Duc du Berry’s Tres Riches Heures, the The Limbourg Brothers depict an agricultural scene in an extremely uniform manner. Three men and two women work on a field against a background of medieval architecture, separated by a river. Elements such as the spacing, detail, and choice of color are what primarily form the composition of the image, but lesser characteristics such as the lack of liveliness and the flatness of the people also play an important role in the overall structure.

This painting appears to take place either at either dusk or dawn, when the sun is at the horizon. Likely it is dusk, as the setting appears to be in the Northern Hemisphere and the snow in the picture residing on the left hand side of fence would suggest it has yet to melt, so the sun would be setting in the west, or on the right. So the viewer, as well as the subject, is facing south. This affects the painting in several ways. The lighting is very dramatic, the middle ground being very much more lighted than the foreground and background, therefore the colors are more saturated than the foreground and background. Greens, browns and greys are used a lot in this piece and makes it very muddy. The house really does stand out against the painting because of the contrast of lighting.

It is a beautiful painting. In the painting, the sun appears to be shining down upon the mountain range. The light appears to be almost religious. The way it is painted causes your eyes to be drawn into the light, in the center of the painting. The waterfall and lake appear to be still and the animals (deer or elf I presume) look west.

His many depictions of the river men following their everyday craft led to a sequence called “The River Paintings” (Richardson, p.1). This work is also very similar to Bingham’s previous work: Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, both of which portray a pair of fur traders—one very young and the other old—paddling down a still river with their chained animal companion (Richardson, p.1). Each painting is instilled with a sense of timelessness and simplicity; a combination of water, greenery, morning light, the figures, and their craft (Richardson,

The artwork is a colorful representation of the nature of the farmworkers on a hot summer day. Thompson uses a variety of contrast of hues to represent the summer day and the nature of the farmworkers. For example, the man cheeks are a vivid red making it appear to be a long day of work and portrays the heat. He also

The small strip across the top of the visual, presents us with an alternate world that is natural and heaven-like where numbat-like creatures are suspended upon tree branches. The gaze of the numbat-like creatures leads us to the quote, “They didn’t live in trees like we did”. Through the inclusion of text Tan portrays that the numbat-like creatures don’t understand the rabbits. This quote does not show any strong emotions, but instead the blatant tone bestows a ‘clueless’ feeling to us, the responders. This section is very small in contrast to the rest of the image showing the rabbits. This symbolically represents the unprecedented manner in which the rabbits came and quickly “made their own houses”. At observing the picture more closely, we can conclude that where the numbat-like creatures are sitting, the sky is lighter compared to where the rabbits are placed; implying that the lighter colour is the time the numbat-like creatures were familiar

Relating to the principles of art, the piece uses contrast, pattern, proportion, and scale. The contrast is basically the dark land against the sky; the artist used dark paints to paint the grass and foliage for the terrain, but used light and lively colors for the sky therefore making the painting contrast and beautiful. The pattern in this art piece is basically the way that Frederic Edwin Church renders the foliage and grass, a repetitive pattern makes the painting more aesthetically pleasing and satisfying. Proportionally, the sizes of the terrain and the wildlife are accurate and also make the piece aesthetically pleasing. The scale is a little off because of the fact that the artist wanted to communicate the message that people aren’t as big as the nature around them. The elements of art that are use includes color, shape, and texture. The artist, for the sky, uses blue and pairs it with its complimentary color orange which makes the painting vivid. The artist also renders numerous amounts of organic shapes giving the piece more life. Finally, in regards to texture, the artist renders the foliage very accurately; it’s almost as if you can feel and touch the leaves.

From 1760 to sometime between to 1840 was a time of the industrial revolution in America and Europe. Having spent many years of his life in Germany, Saleh would have seen for himself the growth of the industries and how it could have an impact on the environment. Hence, this is a painting of what the painter viewed the future to be like. The animals could be

The Wheatfield with crows was painted onto a double square canvas that Vincent had started using in the last few weeks of his life. The painting depicts a cloudy sky over a empty wheat field except for a few black crowes. The wheat field is split by a dirt foot path that forks into three directions with green grass running down both sides of the path. In the sky there are two light blue circles that resemble a moon. The wheat in the field is a golden yellow which contrasts with the dark blue sky that uses a mixture of black, purple and blue. The green grass has been mixed with the yellow of the wheat to create lime green and the dirt path uses a mix of brown and light green. The brush strokes are clearly visible and have not consistent paint thickness no small details are made. The painting is set drawing the day but the sky is darkened by the stormy weather. Vincent talks about some paintings in a letter a the time of this painting “vast fields of wheat under troubled skies”(1). Black crows fly in from the distance from the top left corner and across the centre of the painting.
