The exhibit I observed was the Michael Brown and Lesley McSpadden art piece. This particular piece stood out to me once I took a glance into her eyes and saw pain. The artist of the exhibit was Aaron Fowlers he was born in 1988 in St. Louis where the tragic event took place, but currently lives and works in Harlem, NY. Aaron Fowlers installation describes the eulogy that Michael Brown mother delivered for her son which whom was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, MO. This piece was made from using mix media and a variety of cool colors.

The Appleton Museum of Art holds many exhibits showing how art changes between time eras and places. The artworks in these exhibits have a variety of perspectives, and art styles. Each piece holds their own story within the composition, style, and craftsmanship. I picked two different artworks the painting Tricoteuse (The Knitter) by the French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau, and the painting Daphnis and Chole by the American painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner.

The first piece that struck my eye was Vincent, a painting by Janice Kindred herself. Vincent is a painting done in acrylic. It is a colorful and vivid arrangement of a nature scene featuring trees standing upon a cliff that foray one’s attention. Upon looking at this painting, the sky fascinated me the most. It was portrayed in bright blues, pinks, and purples. When talking to Kindred, she informed me that in her paintings, she likes to do a layering

When you look at art, you wouldn’t think that the artist actually put so much thought and emotion into their paintings. Last week, as I viewed some of the paintings in the Appleton Museum I just really wondered what some of the painters were trying to get across with their paintings or at least what they were thinking of as they painted onto the canvas. Some of the painting on the wall were quite interesting and intricate while other were pretty simple and straight forward. Each of painting have something that make them different and unique. Two paintings that caught my attention were: Wanted Poster #5 by Charles White (1969) and The Judgement of Solomon by Joseph Van Severdonck. Both these painting seemed to have something quite interesting.

J.M.W Turner’s painting, Seascape with Storm Coming on (1840) utilizes warm and cool color tones along with a mysterious focal point to create a fascinating work of art. Similarly, Bjork’s “Atom Dance” uses contrasting vocal tones and oceanic imagery to express her frustration in her marriage.

Artists have many ways of conveying meaning using visual language. It is through the structural elements of a painting that responders are invited to discover the layers of deeper meaning and concept that may be present within any given work. Elements of visual language such a signs and symbols, colour tone and composition are used to further explore and develop the ideas which the artist wishes to express SENTENCE ABOUT WHICH ARTWORKS YOURE TALKING ABOUT AND HOW GR8 THEY ARE.

In the first exhibit which was the Heated Exchange exhibit of contemporary encaustics I learned alot about two works of art. The first work of art that I chose was Jane Allen Nodine, Viscid 7, 2012, Encaustic, oil pigment, and resin on panel. What I learned I about this artists work of art was that it was a very well structured piece and of very good quality. The texture on

For this project, I chose the Tampa Museum of Art. My daughter Annabelle, who is eleven, accompanied me. She is an aspiring young artist who loves to paint and assemble collages. This paper will describe our trip, the museum’s activities, and what was on exhibit. After which, I will choose two works of art and preform an analysis on them. I will employ the formal elements and the principles of design to engage the first piece, “The Great Journey”. With my second choice “A Group of Cubans who left Manzanillo are Rescued at Sea”, I will discuss how applying an alternative contextual analysis would help in understanding the meaning behind the painting more.

One of the paintings I choose is Mother and Child, 1900 by, Mary. Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She often created images of the social and private lives of women, mostly of the intimate bonds between mothers and children. The year the painting was created in the 1900.The painting it is located at Brooklyn Museum Of Art, New York, USA.

The first painting that I felt had the most impact on me was the Composition with Figures and Banners by American artist, ‘Jackson Pollock which was painted with oil on a canvas in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. This painting consists of hidden brown figures on or around black cross-shaped stick. Around these figures and cross-shapes are flame like outlines with green, orange, red, and yellow. The instant I saw this painting the image of the Salem witch trials and of the stories of witch burnings came to my mind by virtue of the hidden magical feel that the painting gave off; especially with the red cloak figures on the crosses. This painting may not have magic showing, but it does give off a feel of magic just by the way the

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

The first painting that caught my attention was Moonwalk made in 1987 by Andy Warhol. This painting was one of Andy Warhol’s final work. There are several versions of this painting, a yellow version and a pink version. The Yellow version of the Moonwalk painting looks as if the sun is reflecting off of the astronaut and the flag. The pink version gives a feeling of warmth like some sort of heat signature is appearing off of the painting itself. The painting gives off a an allusion of a near three dimensional form with its overlapping of the line and color on the astronaut the flag and the surface of the moon.

The piece that spoke out to me most was Pablo Picasso’s painting Family of Saltimbanques, it is a oil painting on A 7x8 canvas. When they examined the painting they found that the painting had many layers that showed different ideas and sketchings. It was painted during Picasso’s Rose or Pink period it was called so due to his paintings having a orange and pink colors. Also it was marked by the use of circus people, harlequins, and acrobats. Picasso was influenced by the expressionism art style, using color to express atmosphere or mood, even though the painting still holds undertones of sadness and melancholy mainly in the people's faces and body language. The circus people were meant to be representing the lower class people and their will

The first artist in the exposition is Hannah Alpha. Born in Egypt, she’s a McGill alumni who uses the minimalism style of painting, which is the art of using simplistic design to create maximum impact. The paintings grab your attention due to their abstractness. However they fail to portray the artist’s meaning. Her collection, called “La danse cosmique” (The cosmic dance), is her search to “attain a state of supreme
