Prof. Leisek : Fine Art : Elements Of Art

Michael has over eight wire sculptures of animals and people. Two of them are wired on wood and hanged on a wall. Overall, Michael does a successful job in giving his sculptures three-dimensional aspects. For example, one of his finest works consists of a man sitting down in a chair with his crossed legs. Michael succeeds the 3D aspect of the sculpture by giving the man’s spine, head, and neck in round and cylinder shapes. In the, end the wire sculptures stand out because of how similar they all look to each other.

I believe that the artist is expressing himself when he is creating a painting, sculpture, drawing, etc. I also believe that art can be interpreted in many ways. One way that I thought an artist was able to express the way he thinks was through a drawing that was created by Otto Dix’s drawing Krigeskruppel (War Cripples). The time that Dix created this piece was the time of World War 1 (pg 40.) Dix was able to first see the effect that the war was having on soldiers. The drawing contains four men walking, to what seems to be downtown. The leader of the four men is smoking a large cigar and is needed the support of a cane because he is missing an arm and both of his legs, the next is man is also missing a leg and supporting himself by a cane.

The piece of art that I am analyzing for this reflection is, “At 54,” created by Riva Lehrer in 2013. According to her website, she used acrylic and collage as her choice of medium, which adds texture and multiple dimensions to a typically flat painting (Lehrer). The background is a textured blue, with gold star constellations towards the top. In the foreground is a white middle-aged woman in a pink outfit. She is positioned like a marionette with puppet strings attached to a wood tool to control the puppet, which she is holding and is coming out off of the canvas. Her outfit consists of a sheer tank top, which is held together in the middle by blue string, and a skirt held up by the same blue string. It appears that the skirt is coming out

1. It was hard to get the feet to look realistic. The detailing part was hard to. Like you had to get all the contrast, structure, movement, and realism. It was hard especilly because in my painting my feet were small. Another hard part was getting the right shade. Like ppaint the feet a color and then make it a little darker for the areas that neede shading and dimension to give a realistic/ contrast to distinguish the difference. It was hard to get a shade that wasnt dramatically drker that the feets color.

7. __________ is the study of the themes and symbols in the visual arts: the figures and images that lend works their underlying meanings.

The artist lecture that I went to was a session of colloquium that centered around the art of three graduate students. Matthew Mauk, the artist I focused on, is a graduate student at UW-Madison that focuses on metalworking. He began as a tattoo artist with a background in drawing and working on silicon. Today, he has moved on to metal sculptures and ornamental objects. Inspired by the religious iconography of Caravaggio and how his paintings contain hidden propaganda, Mauk creates intricate metal pieces masked with subliminal messages. Through his art Mauk tries to rebel against social standards and the rules many places in society has established. For his talk, he discussed his MFA Exhibition. In the show, the metalwork is colorful, intricate,

The above noted art works are distinguished basing on the method used to come up with them. While others only need a collection of paints to come up with, there are others that are made from molding and others from taking of photos. The molding art works will always vary basing on the texture of the materials used to mould them. Relatively, the sculptures vary too basing on the materials where they were extracted from. While others will have a soft texture, others tend to bare rough texture. However, the paintings vary basing on the collection of colors used to make them. The painter might chose to either use bright collection of colors or dark collection of colors. Photography is yet another form of art works. The photography work might be distinguished basing on either they are either digital or film among other forms. Arguably, an art work should always have a thousand words to the viewer. This implies that an art work should be more of a self explanatory

Many artists have the power to make minor changes to how you think and how you see things, however, it's when artists interact with and respond to the world around them that they have the most power to do this. Two artists that do this particularly well are Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Both artists created during the context of the Cold War, allowing them to create works which applied to that timeframe, however, the art has been given new meaning and still applies today. Two artworks from each artist that are most effective are titled, ‘Target with Four Faces’ and ‘Flag’ by Jasper Johns, and ‘White Paintings’ and ‘Monogram’ by Robert Rauschenberg. These works highlight how these artists interact with and respond to the world around

The three-dimensional project that I decided to make was a bed. My art work contained many elements of form in it. The texture of the bed is smooth at the top where the comforter is at but the pillows, which represents wrinkles, and the bed frame have rough texture. The other element is color which the bed frame has intense, dark shade of brown. The values are darker at the bottom (bed frame) but as you go higher up to the bed it becomes lighter values (comforter). This represents the comfort of the bed. The principal of design of the bed is the pattern found on the comforter of the bed, because of its decorative art. The bed design is symmetrical and has a focal point of the bed since it draws direct attention to the center where the bed is

Visual art has constantly been woven through history to display the true inner emotions of the people who have lived through that time. The author may choose from a variety of tools in order to incite emotion upon the intended audience. However, the work of arts done by many of the surviving holocaust victims primarily focus on symbolism during the World War Two era. Instead of directly showcasing the unbearable and grotesque reality of the concentration camps; they decided to focus more on a general symbolism movement. To demonstrate, Bohm-Duchen displays this idea when, "Thus, since the liberation of the camps, artists who have wanted to express the Holocaust in their art have often chosen abstraction or symbolism, thus avoided any explicit

I am interested in NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Art for several reasons, the first being that I am extremely dedicated to fine arts. Being in a 4-year art program such as this would significantly help me develop my work and learn how to visually communicate my ideas more effectively. The main reason behind my desire to pursue this field of study is that art can send any message I want it to, and often say more than words can. It is so open ended, and will give me the freedom to emphasize any concept or idea that I become passionate about or will become relevant to me throughout my life. I believe that attending a school like NYU and living in a place like New York City that is so full of life and opportunity would be an amazing way to immerse

Irmgard Keun's 1931 novel, "Das Kunstseidene M&#228;dchen", which has been translated into English as "The Artificial Silk Girl", is one of the most famous of Germany's `Neue Sachlichkeiten' works. This particular novel, in which the protagonist, Doris, a young working class German girl from Cologne, who dreams of the glitz and glamour and bright lights of the big city, Berlin - in her own words, she wants to be a "Glanz"<em>"Glamour Girl" - suffered subsequent censorship at the hands of Hitler's Nazi regime. This was due to the manner in which Doris is portrayed. Her behaviour and attitude towards men and her sexual relationships all greatly disturbed the National Socialist German society, which in

When trying to define art, humankind runs in to many difficulties. Traditional concepts of art include painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography. Art can also be one

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
