The Veteran in a New Field is an oil painting by the artist Winslow Homer. This painting shows a Civil War soldier after the end of the war. The soldier in the painting has returned home and is harvesting grain on a beautiful sunny day. In my opinion I think that Kooser’s words and phrases are very symbolic.

Each sharing load of teaching Photography, Ceramics, Intro To Graphic Arts, Graphic Design, and Painting.

The art of painting dates back to pre-historic times, the finger used as a paintbrush on the canvas of cave walls. When it comes to painting, artists have many mediums to choose from: acrylics, oils, gouache, fresco, and watercolors. Watercolors is one of the toughest mediums to achieve, its transparent streaks almost impossible to cover up and its various techniques prestigous and precise, but satisfying when accomplished. The incentive a watercolor artist has to get a taste of perfecting their talents is impecable; therefore, striving for perfection can only be accomplished with the understanding of the watercolor history, the use of the tools of the trade, the practice of techniques, and observation of former artists’ approaches.

Man Ray like many other artists did not care to have his personal life shown in his art. He wanted to be viewed and recognized for his work which included sculptures, paintings, and photography. Man Ray was mostly influenced by Stieglitz's photographs. Man Ray used a similar style to Stieglitz. He captured images that created an unvarnished look at the photos' subject. Man Ray discovered a new way to create his photos; by accident in his work room he discovered how to manipulate objects in his photos on pieces of photosensitive paper.

Raymond Pettibon art work, Untitled (The bright flatness), on page 535 fig 25-35 shows a tiny surfer in an enormous wave in a California landscape. The subject matter is a large wave that a surfer is riding. The content of the artwork could be how people are a small compared to the big world we live in. I think this piece of art was painted on with watercolor and a type of paper. These lines in the artwork is very loose and free. These lines in the artwork reminds me of Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night lines in his artwork which are loose ,but the viewer can tell what the meaning of the picture is. In the artwork Untitled (The bright flatness) colors mostly used were the primary colors blue and red. The surfer is red and the waves of the ocean is blue. The wave color could be a local color that the viewers know the ocean color is blue. The blue color has different tints from dark blue to light blue. The wave in the art is three dimensional it represents the wave as if it was being seen in an ocean. In the picture, there is a highlight where the ocean has lighter white spots throughout the wave. Another highlight would be

Rebusspiel is painted by Wolfgang Hutter. The painting was created in the year of 1961. The painting is currently being displayed at The Tampa Museum of Art in the heart of Down Town Tampa. Rebusspiel is a German word; when translated to English, it is called the Rebus Game.

When comparing the two artworks it is clear that nursing is the main focus of each piece. They both depict a nurse in a long gown with a cap and some sort of apron or cape. Both pieces show what goes into being a nurse. The piece by Grant shows the compassion that’s needed and the piece by Perez shows the technical side, with the taking of the vitals and the helping to feed the patient. That’s as far as the comparison goes for these two pieces.

This painting by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze illustrates the crossing of the Delaware River, lead by General Washington, with his soldiers from the continental army. Even though this painting was painted years after the war of independence, it was a time period when art was booming in the Americas, and it captures everyone’s emotions and details clearly in the painting.

Mc Escher's art is very well known. Perhaps you have seen some of his art, but never actually realized whose art it was. I like how he incorporated math in his artwork, and that is one of the reason I chose him. We will be covering his not as well known childhood, later life, and his phases of art. First, we will be traveling back to the Beginning; Mc Escher's birth.

Violent strokes of passion skimmed the canvas and whisked him into a world he was no longer in control of. A kelly green here, a slate blue there. The brush bristles perked up and promptly rendered his weak feet to where the easel sat. Hall Wyat knew better than to try and resist this feeling and followed wherever he was led. This particular morning it led him, not surprisingly, to the easel by the window. Here, he continued to slash at his current painting, a coveted image indeed. It depicted the Cyclamen flowers that inhabited the windowsill, in all of their deep blush colored glory, growing elegantly. Swiftly, before letting the beauty sink into his

) While studying under Jacob Kahn, Asher engages with Western Christian culture via art; this interaction alienates Asher from his family while enabling him to explore art and find his purpose. Jacob Kahn is a former Hasidic Jew who studies with the Ladover Rebbe yet maintains a largely secular lifestyle. His perspective of being a former Hasid leads Kahn to understand Asher’s tie to Judaism and not dissuade him from remaining a Jew. However, while instructing Asher, Kahn exposes him to nudes and crucifixions, both forms of art that the Ladover Hasidic community judges to be improper and from the Other Side. Kahn articulates his firm desire for Asher to be able to present an artistic rendering of the human form, stating,
