Legion Of Honor Fine Art Analysis

The vertically arranged structure of the painting is translated through the indicated line of the growing flowers. This line meets the horizontal line, which is set by the surface holding the flowers; creating a uniform ‘L’ shaped structure. However, there is some contrast to this traditionality. Only very subtly did Monnoyer stray from this structure; through the draping flowers over the side of the ledge. The formation of the flower arrangement indicates a triangular like shape, which creates a slightly more dynamic focal point. It moves the viewer’s eye away from the ‘L’ structure, to focus on the rich colours found throughout the triangular formation of the floral arrangement. Another line, this line being more subtle yet still diverging the viewer’s attention away from the formality of the perpendicular lines, is created by the drapery in the dark background. It is one of the only visible features found in the shadows, and guides the viewer’s eye diagonally across the composition and to the vibrant floral arrangement.

The visual elements in a work of art can be made up of various different types of elements. “Composition, harmony, proportion, light, color, line, texture, mass, and motion are all part of the vocabulary of sight. We tap this vocabulary, and the patterns that go with it, when we compose or frame images”. The visual elements that are portrayed in the engraving of “Ullysses at the Table of Circe” by Flaxman consists of lines, shape, space, texture, and color. “Viewers bring to the act of seeing individual sets of conscious and unconscious reactions that affect their response to the visual stimulus put before them. This is the beauty of images, even in their most minimal form— such as a single line”. The lines that are used in this work of art are

Dutch art created during the span of 1610 to 1630 display a vast array of thematic categories. These categories include portraiture, genre, landscape, and history paintings. In spite of such diversity towards subject matter, the artworks all have certain characteristics in common with each other. Three of the shared, underlying principles are an Italian influence, sense of attributing traits to the figures to increase relatability, and emphasis on the humble.

The shelf between them adds interest with the now outdated and unusual instruments, but the whole of the work doesn’t portray any real sense of importance other than historical record. On the contrary, the realistic detail of the piece is amazing and well communicated through Holbein’s excellent use of light and shadow, as well is accuracy of form. The light source is centered behind the artist and shinning directly onto the men and desk, illuminating their figures. Both man and desk cast a simple shadow to aid the concept of full illumination, but the textures of the clothing, curtain, instruments, and other items are expertly portrayed in the artist’s use of small harsh shadowing and his blend of shading. The large, contrasted, elegant portrayal of the left man’s clothing creates emphasis that repeatedly drags the audience’s eye back to this area. Such a vast use of pattern and color, on the other hand, make any other emphasis less detectable and almost allow the oddly placed blur on the bottom to escape attention. Eventually, its lack of balance and seemingly disproportionate look snatch its deserved attention and force the viewer to get creative in recognizing a figure. This is when the side view of the skull can be

The first element of design within this painting is, the use of light and shadows. Hopper uses light and shadows, to create the visual of nighttime within the painting. Within the restaurant, very bright colors are used to create the walls. Using light colors in this way, makes it appear as if the walls of the diner are reflecting light. In addition, the countertop within the diner appears to be glossy, and has reflections in it. This effect also aids in making the illusion of light within the diner. Outside of the dinner, light can be seen on the buildings across the street. This

This piece uses a variety of colors and textures. There is a lot of different proportions used, such as the differences in the size of the eyes and the head itself, the head compared to the mouth, and the mouth compared to the neck and

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

It also helps to form "the illusion of solidity" (Rous, 120). Pure white is used to highlight the object as well as intense and warm colors depict its shadow. The author considers the skill "the medieval method" (Rous, 120). The author also indicates the patience of the artist, who depicts the materials and substance in details. For instance, the heavy coats is painted in wooden pattern and the half timbers are created by a layer in dark tone covered by white

The artworks that I liked in this week’s readings were the Dying Warriors. There are two of them and they are part of the Sculpture from the West Pediment of the Temple of Aphaia, Aegina. There is something about these two warriors that really got my attention. I feel like maybe it is because I can really feel like they are in pain and agony, but they keep trying to survive and push themselves up even though they probably wouldn’t survive. One of them is supporting himself and trying to push himself up with one arm while the other arm is trying to take an arrow out of his chest. The other warrior is also trying to get himself up but in his face I can feel more struggle and pain than compared to the other warrior. If you look at the whole sculpture

The Magnitude of the Falklands/Malvinas conflict in 1982 between Britain and Argentina dictated that both employ a handful of military operational arts particularly logistics, command and control. In the heart, of the 1982 conflict in the contentious issue of the Falklands/Malvinas islands ownership, Command and control, and logistical functions featured prominently among the operations and preparations of both warring parties. According to Hime (2010, 4), “Ownership of the Falklands/Malvinas Islands since their initial discovery has always been determined by force, with British control last established in 1833 following the expulsion of the Argentine gunboat Sarandi, and its contingent of soldiers, convicts from the penal

For example, the bright red on the hand, the head and what looks like the hair of the middle figure. In contrast, dull colours have also been used in the piece. These include, the warm orange circle around the head of the third figure. The painting also includes flat areas which are mostly around the top part of the piece. These flats are colours that are painted in a uniform or identical tone and hue, for example the top black body part of the figures and the cone shapes attached to their head are in uniform red, green, dark cyan colours. The coolness of the pink, purple and yellow in the mid-part of the bodies which, show birds and oceans, are contrasted with the warmth of the orange sky, the dark pink hill and the black in the top part of the bodies. this piece includes balance as well which has (is shown by) been used by distributing the visual weigh of objects, colours and space. Asymmetrical balance was also included which portrayed the different movements from the bottom of the piece, the feels, to the middle parts of the body where there are different movements of line to the top of the

This is a work of art or painting of a group of inanimate objects. It is usually a painting of non-moving objects hence the term ‘still.’ Still-life painting developed in Europe in the 16th century. The Ancient Egyptians used to paint stacks of offerings for their gods while the Greeks and Romans painted objects on the floors of villas especially at Pompeii. What is common with still-life partners is their enthusiasm in paying close and personal attention to closely-observed objects. Still, life provides artists with a platform on which they can explore their relationship with the objects that surround them.

The painting that I find compelling from visited the Legion of Honor museum was “Flowers In a Silver Vase” by Willemstad van Aelst. Van Aelst was born in Delft, he lived in France between 1645 and 1649. The painting is completely hand-painted with oil on linen canvas in 1663. The reason why that I choose this printing is because the topic is flowers, the sumptuous flowers in this composition are tempered by such symbols of time’s fleeting nature as an open watchcase and, at center, a tulip, which has opened fully to drop its seeds. During the tour, the guide introduced the story of this painting, back to the 1600s in France, flowers are kind of a luxury, which is very expensive. Only the very rich could have enough of spaces to gardened. For

Out of all the various objects that were placed in the classroom, the object combination I have chosen was especially difficult to express, due to the similar shading, color tone, and the texture feeling from the cloth that lies below it. But after completion I could feel that my sense for color has grown, this work set the basis for my future projects such as human figure oil paintings.

The piece is entirely covered with different colours to emphasize different aspects of the painting. Specifically, primary colours; mostly of yellow, red and blue. There are no light source and shadows, but rather, Eyre manipulates these three colours to create different tones. The
