An expression or application of creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as a painting or subculture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. (Oxford, 2012).

We must also deduce whether the balance is symmetrical or asymmetrical. If one splits the painting in half, one can see it is not completely balanced. You have more “weight” on the right-hand side than you do on the left. However, regarding art, it is balanced. Even though there are more objects on the right, the values of the bright white shirt give it a sense of equal distribution. This uneven, yet balanced proportion of the art tells the viewer that it is asymmetrical. It is asymmetrical because it is unequally distributed, yet it is still

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

Type the term into the blank for each section, and then describe where in the artwork you see the term being used, as well as how or why the term is used in the artwork to visually communicate. Make sure you are being as specific as possible, and include specific examples.

Henri Théodore Fantin-Latour was a French painter who lived from 1836 to 1904. “Still Life with Vase of Hawthorn, Bowl of Cherries, Japanese Bowl and Cup and Saucer” is oil on canvas painting created by him in 1872. The artwork is 2x1.5 feet in a wide, thick golden engraved frame and mounted on a white wall on the second floor of Dallas Museum of Art (DMA). Fantin’s artwork is a composition of circular forms from the plump cherries to the pink blossoms of the hawthorn flower, to the Japanese bowl and fragile cup and saucer. So the main shape that was created is a geometric shape, circle, but there are also some organic shapes as well for example, the shapes of leaves, which came in different shades of green. The artist used very detailed lines

The central form uses organic shapes and curving geometric designs, dramatic contours and flowing lines that come together to create a unique form. The use of light and dark elements, along with a neutral color background adds contrast to the entire sculpture. The sculpture seems to have many shapes and forms all at once, even the title of the sculpture has more than one meaning. The artist uses the word "space" with a dual meaning. By using empty space and shaping the lines of the sculpture around in a circle, he created the illusion of a massive globe, and the artistic use of futuristic shapes was inspired by aviation and the space program. While researching this artist, I read that Emser's work is a reference to the pioneering spirit of aviation and nautical history. Which takes me back to the beginning of my paper and what I originally thought this sculpture was, a sextant. Bob Emser's influence of aviation is reflected in all of his work and is not lost in the Spirit of Space.

Balance is a way for shapes to be arranged. There are different types of balances in art. First lets start with symmetrical balance. Symmetrical balance is where the elements in a piece of artwork are given equal weight from an imaginary line in the middle, that way if it was cut in half, it would be equal on both sides. It’s near perfect symmetry and symmetrical balance is the most formal. Next is asymmetrical balance. Asymmetrical balance to me doesn’t necessarily mean symmetry. Asymmetrical balance is where different elements are placed scattered throughout the piece of artwork. Asymmetrical balance is the most informal as to how balance occurs. Although,

The quill, writing materials, and journals are reminiscent of moral messages and the closed book is a show of knowledge formerly held by the skull. The mature fruits depicted on the painting by Paul Cezanne symbolize abundance and fertility, which is figuratively used to mean well-being and wellness. The flowers on the background mean folly and mortal sin of laziness (Platzman 2001, 116). The glasses are representative of vanity, as is the reflection shown on the still life with a skull and writing quill. The empty glass is a symbol of death and fragility of human life.

Rigaud’s color scheme conveys Louis XIV’s wealth and splendor. The simple, yet rich, primary colors are very Baroque. The curtain that fills the top of the painting is vibrant red and gold and Louis XIV’s robes and the furniture are deep blue and gold. These colors are reflected again in the fabric covering the ground. The colors are strong, splendid, and dramatic, reminding the viewer they are looking at a powerful man. Conversely, Boucher’s palette is almost cloying. He uses the sweet pastels very common in Rococo art. The colors are still luxurious, but more playful and less serious. They create a sense of fun and lightheartedness rather than power. Each of these color schemes reflects the intentions of the artist and interests of the time period. Rigaud’s work shows Louis XIV’s power and wealth and Boucher’s shows the joy of Madame de Pompadour’s opulent

Also, shape is slightly represented with the sort of oval edges of the sculpture, but it is more definite in the actual creation of the sea monster as well as Venus, cupid and the putto. Texture is apparent with the look and feeling of the piece of art. An example of this would be the surface quality of the marble, which the sculpture is made of. In Mischief and Repose, texture is also used in the surface feeling of the painting due to the oil on the canvas. Also, the element of color is apparent in the apparent use of color in the painting.

Abstract This is a visual analysis on the work of 18th century Baroque painter Thomas Jones. This paper analyses Thomas Jones’ painting titled Landscape with Dido and Aeneas (Storm). Thomas Jones dates this painting at 1792 or late Baroque period. The Baroque period in painting emphasized dramatic scenes, richer colors and textures than in the Renaissance (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2013). This paper tries to analyze various formal elements of design, including color, line, and shape.

What is a tessellation? Did Escher use this in his art work? A tessellation is a shape used repeatedly

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

Cèzanne took a different approach from artists of his time by focusing more on the form and using color as a tool instead of as the main goal of his artwork, which created numerous pieces of artwork that highlighted Cézanne’s ability to create unique persepectives (Harris, n.d.). With his focus on form, Cèzanne was able to create unique forms of perspective, as can be seen in his painting, “The Basket of Apples.” In this painting we can note the oddly shifted table, food

Artworks are those that use natural tools in an aesthetically pleasing way, to express some deep meanings desired by the artist, for which this art is found. These works can be analyzed by looking at a variety of aspects individually and these elements are often called elements They are very useful for criticizing or understanding any artwork as a whole. The materials used by the artist creating the artwork in the documentary "Mystery Masterpiece", the shape of the work is the shape of which it is, including its size or its volumetric perception, and the artwork has three dimensions; the depth as well as the width and height, the three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture, yet the two-dimensional artwork can achieve the illusion of the
