The Works Of Art Have Created With Multiple Mediums

Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but

Art is able to transport its viewer through time and connect us as a community. Audiences are able to infer the content and context of the artwork. Art displayed through different mediums and about different topics can share many similarities and draw connections between one another. Exodus, created by Shelby Lechman (2015), uses oil paint on canvas to depict a young boy and father in a train car, leaving their home in Hungary during the time of the Hungarian Revolution (fig.1). Back into the Earth: Creation and the Interpretation of Meaning, created by Tamara Himmelspach (2015) is a series of 11 prints and a physical dress displaying the designer in a jingle dress representing the traditions of the Ojibwa culture

Color fills our world with beauty. We delight in the colors of a magnificent sunset and in the bright red and golden-yellow leaves of autumn. We are charmed by gorgeous flowering plants and the brilliantly colored arch of a rainbow. We also use color in various ways to add pleasure and interest to our lives. For example, many people choose the colors of their clothes carefully and decorate their homes with colors that create beautiful, restful, or exciting effects. By their selection and arrangement of colors, artists try to make their paintings more realistic or expressive.

Nolan’s painting style is noted for its fluidity, which he emphasized by applying unusual mediums—such as ripolin (an enamel house paint) and polyvinyl acetate—to masonite, glass, paper, or canvas.

The medium used for this work of art is oil. In this technique the oil acts as a binder and causes a quick drying layer that can built upon. The formal elements of a painting include line, color, space, light, texture and pattern. The line appears to be an implied line in which the work creates directional movements from top to bottom. But also forces the viewer to see how the figures stand out and there importance in the painting. The color shows a subtle spectrum with a detailed background from the skies to the mountains to the artist table canvas. The light is somewhat even throughout the painting showing emphasis on every figure holding something in their hands; and more so the final product of the artist that are being captured on the canvas. The visual texture of the painting appears to be smooth and the pattern is decorative and somewhat vibrant. The principle of unity and variety are evident in this painting, the design itself shows a sense of community of important figures throughout African American history. I was drawn to this piece because it embodied the heritage of African American art through history. This painting by Hale Woodruff displays many of the significant contributions that African Americans made to the world of Art. Not necessarily “picture art” but all realms of life art: cooking, liberal arts, politics, labor, law and many more through his vibrant

Raphael was known to use oil paints with pigments on wood, panel, canvas or wood for his paintings. The materials used for The Alba Madonna painting were oil paint on panel which was then transferred to canvas. Raphael used more paint on his works than other artist of his time. According to some, this serves as an example of his extreme talent due to the fact that oil paint in that era was a difficult material to use and was unforgiving.

The one thing that makes watercolors the least expensive medium is the amount of supplies needed to get started, which consists of only the essentials: paints, paintbrushes, watercolor paper, a pallete, and water. Because of its need of just the bare necessities, this makes watercoloring an affordable pastime. (McArdle) The forms of traditional watercolors are pans and tubes. Furthermore, the difference between the two is that tubes of paint are already moist, so water isn’t required; pans on the other hand are hard cakes of paint that need water in order to be used. (McArdle) Along with traditional watercolors, there are two other derived forms of watercolor: tempera and gouache. Unlike most watercolors, tempera uses a binding agent instead of gum arabic, meaning that they are made with sizes1. Because of this ingredient, tempera paintings are long-lived. (Steel) Meanwhile, gouache contains larger

Written language can change and can be forgotten but art will always stay constant, you can destroy people and their way of life but if art is preserved the way they lived their lives it will tell their story. Missing or stolen art has had a big impact on the world of art. There are many types of art that have been stolen; paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, and written artifacts. There are many questions on whether art is important to the preservation to a culture such as;

Traditionally, artists mixed their own paints from raw pigments they often ground themselves and medium. This made portability difficult and kept most painting activities confined to the studio. This changed in the late 1800s, when oil paint in tubes became widely available. Artists could mix colors quickly and easily, which enabled, for the first time, relatively convenient plein air (outdoor) painting (a common approach in French Impressionism).

The two that I have chosen for this specific topic would be John Adams, and Howard Baker because they had both seemed to catch my eye. I would say that both of the artworks are about medium, however, John Adam's painting seems a little bit smaller as the height comes out to be 29.3 inches, and Howards comes out to be a total of 49.5 inches. I would say the most dominant of art in Howard Bakers artwork would be texture, and also shape and form. The color of his suit really makes the entire picture stand out very well and neat, compared to the background it has a almost "glowing" effect to it. John adams most dominant artowkr would be the form and shape of how it was portrait. The black coloring looks constantly repeating because almost half

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.

George Grosz used watercolour in most of his late paintings, usually over pen and ink.

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

Paintings that have textures that can be smooth and flat or have tooth and be lumpy which can depend on the type of paint or how it is applied the surface of a canvas. In many of Monet’s Impressionism paintings, he uses a dry brush technique and created dabs. In Sunrise, the paint is not blended together instead it is layered, which created a

Acrylic paint was introduced to the art world during the 1940s and sold commercially in the 1950s. It was originally considered as a substitute for oil paints, but not competition. However, as times proceeds, artist saw it as just that. According to davidlangevin.com, “scientific studies and accelerated aging tests confirm that acrylics will likely outlast oils in almost every category associated with permanent painting.” Acrylic was made to be easier for the painter, hence the beginner stigma attached. It has bigger pigments, which makes it thinner and more transparent. Additionally, it is water-based, which allows quicker drying times and easier cleanups. Based upon the artist, this can be a huge advantage; if the artist creates quicker, then there is nothing holding the creator back from finishing. The water-based paint
