Silver Sequins Research

Janet Echelman is an artist who considers the cutting edge of sculptures, public art, and urban transformation in her art works. Her art work in question “Her Secret Is Patience” uses a cactus flower shape as a symbol for the Arizona desert city of Phoenix. Her art work is held by three leaning poles that are forty to hundred feet high. According to Janet her act work was inspired by the patience of the saguaro cactus, she say, “It’s a spiny cactus putting down roots in search of water in the desert, saving up every ounce of energy until, one night, in the middle of the cool darkness, it unfurls one succulent bloom” (Artforms, p. 6) The center of her art work is the colors of the net being both everlasting and ever changing, solid yet spacious,

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

Museums add new context for artworks, since historical items were not made to be in modern museums. A Pair of Sensing Angels by Circle of Bernaert Orley are two ‘one by three foot’ oil painting on wood from 1535-1540 that depicts two angels. When looking at “A Pair of Censing Angels” we can infer the subject, the value the painting held, and how the meaning alters in its present setting. This visual analysis will describe the artwork, analyze the formal elements used, and how the formal elements of the work and display affects the viewer.

as stated in paragraph two in document eight, it shows us how the silver and gold

Playful, radiant and graceful shapes tug at our heartstrings in the Luc collection. These exclusive pieces are created by hand welding rods to circular frames to depict the rays of sunshine.

Human behavior is often affected by nature, as displayed in “Los Angeles Notebook” by Joan Didion. The author creates a foreboding atmosphere by describing the power of the blustery, dry and warm Santa Ana winds of Los Angeles (UCLA Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences). Through the use of figurative language, diction, and imagery, Didion argues that winds trigger unusual behavior in people.

The batten was a sun halo, white shell made the comb. There were four spindles: one a stick of zigzag lightning with a whorl of cannel coal; one a stick of flash lightning with a whorl of turquoise; a third had a stick of sheet lightning with a whorl of abalone; a rain streamer formed the stick of the fourth, and a whorl was white shell.”(7)

This experiment was performed to observe the formation of silver chromate from a reaction between silver nitrate and potassium chromate. In this double displacement reaction, the cations and anions of the two reactants swapped and produced silver chromate and potassium chromate. An indication of a reaction occurring between the silver nitrate and potassium chromate was the production of a red solid from the yellow potassium chromate and the clear silver nitrate. Potassium nitrate has its uses in applications such as fertilizers and food preservation while the other product of this reaction, silver chromate, has little application in the real world.

These mounted works of some of my observational drawings proves that I explored a range of techniques

Looking around the world there are repeated patterns everywhere, and many people tend not to notice. Nature, both here on earth and in space, seems to reuse these patterns over and over again. Is there a driving force behind everything, or is it just all one colossal coincidence? Science has provided a theory that may favor the prior. There seems to a link between Panpsychism, and both the earthly and heavenly bodies of the universe. An artist by the name of Dan Christensen often uses the same patterns in his paintings. Usually a giant dot in the center, and swirling loops. One example of this is his piece, Revolver. The patterns he uses to paint we see examples of in, and outside of the world.

I am glad you had a chance to see my paintings at the Botanic Garden--pretty much all of the paintings I shared there had to do with water as a biological and metaphysical force that brings people together. With that particular painting I was working with repeating patterns, so I had several hand-cut stencils that I used to build up my patterns. The painting references the shadows and bright spots that appear on the bottom of a pool after light is refracted by moving water, but it also references the nets that my family used as a child to catch blue crabs in Gulf Shores. My painting technique for this piece was pretty methodical--I used two stencils to build up the pattern on the bottom

By observing the sand drift naturally from top to bottom, one can visually knowledge the truths of

The first artists that shows u show art can connect nature with humans is Theo Jansen. Jansen has made these exotic and giant sculptures called Strandbeests. The Strandbeests also known as “beach animals” are made of PVC pipes that gives the animal the ability to stand. They work in multiple places such as soft places and places with sand. The difference is that in soft places they need a special drive system that use pressed to move the Strandbeest and in places with sand they use the wind to give them motion to work. As Jansen states in his interview, “And so over the years, the generations became better and better at surviving the storms and the sand and the water on the beach and that connect the Strandbeests as a product of development in nature, getting different kinds of adaptation as human does and showing aspects related to human reproduction, Through the beests, Jansen connects beest’s reproduction with human reproduction, therefore nature.

The piece I decided to research is a glass sculpture made by Dale Chihuly entitled "V&A Rotunda Chandelier". Chihuly made this sculpture in 2001. The mediums Chihuly used were blown glass, mould-blown glass, and steel. The sculpture's dimensions are 27 × 12 × 12 feet. The elements Chihuly used while making this piece are line, shape, color and motion. The lines shown in this sculpture are curved lines. These lines eventually form the spiral-like shape. Chihuly used two beaming colors, a lime green, bright yellow and a sky blue. One can say that Chihuly also shows motion in this piece by the way the lines curve in and out. The piece look as if you walked around it, it would start moving. The principles of design Chihuly displays within this

The use of geometric shapes in this painting allows the subject to be viewed in both a recognizable and unrecognizable state at the same time. Overall, geometric shapes and patterns play an essential role in what the viewer sees, which is further supported by a powerful color palate.
