Natalie Watkins Analysis

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

The three most significant art principles I found in this painting are the contrast of the light and dark areas, the focal point being his aunt, and the sense of unity conveyed. The contrast of colors shows the natural cast of shadows within an

All of the elements in the painting set the mood of sadness as the Indians meet their inevitable end. In the painting there are representatives of different Indian tribes and a diverse age of individuals ranging from infants to elderly, all at the brink of the ocean with the sun setting in the distance. The setting for the painting could not be more perfect as the sun sets to signify the end for the few who have not surrendered and gone to camps

Before going any further, it is important to note that I decided to choose this painting because I really like its colorful lines. Every time I look at it, I feel drawn into the inspirational scene. At first glance, the painting resembles a mosaic of tiny brushstrokes that are harmoniously placed together. These strokes are composed

Miss Nikki McKinley gets her ideas across most obviously by choosing bold colours (which are mainly warm but she used cold colours as well, varying her use of colours especially when she was younger) and earthy tones (although as I have mentioned before, she occasionally chose to use more bright and vibrant colours), which give a clear and bold statement. Also, her use of a wide range of media and materials, including: Pencils (colouring and normal), textiles, paint, mosaics, oil pastels, wire, charcoal, photography, digital manipulation (via Adobe Photoshop), clay (for ceramics), hessian, pen, ink, graphic design, boutique and drawing inks, all show the variety of ways in which she is capable of successfully

Another main focal point in this canvas was subject matter. This is where the objects or events are described. The artist gives us different objects such as the old couple seems displayed as depressing. Or you can observe it as normal couple, walking across the river, enjoying the night. He also gives us a boat which could possibly be giving us a correlation because the boat looks like it’s broken or about to sink. There is also another interpretation with the object that Van Gogh displays which is, the stars. Depending upon which way you want to take it, they look like flowers or fireworks. Also, there is a sense of false appearance with the houses. If you stare at just the bank you will notice that it is just a bunch of bright lights but if you pay attention to the water close to the bank, you will acknowledge the darkness or shadow of the houses.

In the painting, a young man and his father are sitting on the running board of the family’s farm truck waiting for a train to arrive to pick up the young man for university. The expressions on both of the men’s faces tell a story all on its own. The young man seems to be very optimistic, while his father is dreading the arrival of the train to pick him up. The father of the young man seems to be upset and in thought. The expression on his face looks as if he is thinking back to when he was young and the opportunities he had or didn’t have, but he also seems to have an upset look on his face because he is letting go of his son, possibly even his only son. His facial expression looks as if he is thinking back on his life and what it was like for him, but also what the future will hold for himself and his son while he is away at college.

• The focal point of the painting is the sun-drenched valley and river. The emphasis comes from the diagonal of the tree to the left that directs the view of the scene down the valley toward the farmland.

This painting shows how to deal with perspective in painting and is focused on the natural world, this changed the art of landscape paintings and how they were done.

The painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat may seem simple but is very complex and symbolic. The girl in the center of the painting is the only character looking directly at the viewer. Almost as if Seurat painted her to be communicating something to the audience. What that is can be found by looking at the time of which it was painted and the meaning and work behind the painting along with its relational paintings. The elements in the painting, especially shade and color, reveal this underlying meaning and message.

This painting shows how close and codependent humans and nature were. How well humans worked together with one another and their world. How peaceful those that are close to nature are, which is why it (nature) must be celebrated and appreciated.

In the center of the painting, lies a dark-skinned man with only pants on that is lying on a steer-less, white, wooden boat and looking towards the right. Also on the boat are some green and yellow sugar canes lying at the bottom left of the man, a white sack sitting on the edge of the boat, and ropes that are tied to the boat extending towards the water. The front of the painting is invaded by terrifying sharks with their jaws open showing their sharp teeth. Furthermore, the water around the sharks is dark blue with signs of red, which maybe is blood, but towards the center the water is a lighter blue. At the right of the painting, in the water are six white flying fish. While in the left back of the painting, emerging from the white, cloudy

This is a street art on Alberta street near Bank slater at the bus stop downtown. I chose this image because it shows the struggles and difficulties that happened in the past which can be related to slaves, discrimination, and racism that a lot of people from different ethnicity or background faced in their lives in the past. To me, the ship represents an escape and way victims of discrimination, racism comes out of their hidden place for the people that faced these challenges in their life. My attention was captured on this image because it explains the past, future, and things that happen to us in our everyday life within our society we live. This image reflects the change of slavery interpretation and racism view especially in the United

The focal point is the girl in the white dress. There is an array of mountains in the background, delicately placed behind two houses and a tree, all under a teal sky. The simplicity allows eyes to wander to the body of water. Eyes are then drawn to the girl in the white dress. She stands near the middle of the painting, easily seen. Her hair is bright yellow,

The second painting attracts me also with a kind of incompleteness, but it gives me a free place to dream and to continue it in my mind. The pencil at the top makes a feeling of something majestic, like someone is inside of this picture and he doesn’t care that an author already finished his work, he just do what he wants to do, because he is invisible. I think that the pencil makes such a big feeling, because it looks very realistic. The fish is melancholy as the lady on its body too. I like that fish’s eyes don’t show any thinks, it gives you an opportunity to think about yourself. The inscription “Green Matisse Night Fish” helps you not to go very deep inside of the painting, it sobers you. The using of smears on the picture is similar to the first work. It makes the same feeling of carelessly.
