The subject of this artwork is growing as means to the flower maturing which show more and bigger details. The location background of this picture is outdoors, maybe in the woods, the jungle, or by a beach. The location of this piece is currently located at the Arizona State University Museum.

A man was born on October 22, 1844. Most of the people in the 1800’s didn’t know that this man would help shape Canada into what it is today. This man’s name is Louis Riel. Most of the people presently can’t decide if Louis Riel left a good legacy or a bad one. Personally, I think that he left a good legacy.

In 1991 Henri Cosquer found a cave. It was 120 feet beneath the ocean. The cave was very old. It was a prehistoric cave.

The forms that can be seen include the poplar trees and road in the foreground, in the middle ground you can see what appears to be a lake and a cottage surrounded by trees. In the background, hills and mountains rise majestically and above is a blue sky. Most of the forms in this artwork are organic, with very few geometric shapes. However, some geometric shapes can be seen in the road and cottage.

Many of the shapes in this painting are very organic, for they are, in fact, organic items. While they may be organic, they also have a somewhat geometric shape to them. There are a lot of perfect, or almost perfect, clusters of circles together. The fact that most of the fruit are circle shapes gives it more of a geometric feel. The parts that are the most organic shaped are the leaves.

“I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.” Jean Michel Basquiat was an abstract expressionist that has changed the art world forever. He has touched many artist styles and improved art to the finest. Many people look up to this man for his creativity. Known as the “public eye” for neo expressionist, Basquiat will always be the face of this contemporary group (Fretz). Jean Michel’s impact on the world around us has been encountered by many people; his importance to art is momentous. Jean’s purpose in life was not only to show off his artistic skills, but to start something new.

Claude Monet painted outside and strove to capture the climate and the effects of the sunlight in his paintings. His Series of Haystacks is a collection of fifteen paintings, all featuring haystacks, or grainstacks, which were painted at various times of day and during different seasons of the year. These images beautifully express how much a painting can be transformed depending on the climate and light.

The first piece of art to be displayed is Eugene Delacroix’ a Basket of Flowers. Delacroix was a French Romantic painter of his time. This painting is currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. At the time it was painted there was great social and political unrest in post-revolutionary Paris, Delacroix left and returned to his country house, Champrosay, in September 1848. He then began a series of flower paintings, made “for the Salon of 1849”, that he hoped would capture the different characteristics and ascetic appeal of garden flowers. Because there was a possibility it might frost, he worked quickly and created five canvases. This is one of them, an oil painting, its dimensions are 42 1/4 x 56 in. (107.3 x 142.2 cm) and

Jean Piaget was one of the most influential psychologists in the 20th century, but his focus was not always on this subject. Piaget started his career in the natural science field. He was a researcher from age eleven and continued to follow this path when he received his Ph.D. in Zoology in 1918. Piaget’s interest shifted in the 1920s though. He was focusing more on psychoanalysis than the natural sciences. As a result, he spend a year working at a boys’ institute that was founded by Alfred Binet. Binet is known for his intelligence tests and Piaget scored them at the institute.

At first glance of this piece, one may notice the abundance of curves and lines on almost every part of it. A most-likely middle-aged man stands barefoot, holding a book on his left hand and a sheep’s head lying beside his feet. The piece is about twenty inches tall and made out of wood. The unevenness of the color of the basswood used doesn’t influence the piece negatively, but positively. The deeper parts of the figure are dark brown. While the characters closer to the surface, such as the nose and edges of drapes are lighter brown. It is uncertain whether this is because of the piece’s old age or not. The edges of the piece are smooth, like the shoulder and some parts of the garments. The hair and beard of the figure is very curly, almost to the point that one would wonder who would have enough patience to make something so intricate. The garments the figure wears aren’t just straight with a few lines, but every section drapes downward resembling a waterfall. This art piece is in motion aesthetically. The artist creates an illusion of movement and uniformity through line arrangements and intricacy.
