Timber Beloved The Sky

The manipulation of perspective was not only significant for symbolic meaning. It was used as a visual tool in order to create the “magic” that the painting is known for. Because the vanishing point is approximately 5 feet from the bottom of the picture, which is practically floor level, this allows for both the top and bottom of the picture to come together and establishes an illusion of an actual structure. While this “created space” within the picture appears to be real, it is actually just one of the

Secondly, the light and colors help to enhance the piece. Due to the oil painting,

Antoine Watteau’s La Perspective (View through the Trees in the Park of Pierre Crozat) uses many elements of the Rococo style of painting to instill a sense of intimacy. In this painting, members of the elite society gather unceremoniously in a wooded clearing. The people make casual exchanges as they mingle in the park. Trees and foliage dominate a majority of the painting. A small white building can be seen in the background through a clearing in the trees. Watteau uses color, composition, setting, and pose in the painting to create intimacy.

4. Space- Perspective is demonstrated in many ways. This artwork takes up almost the whole canvas. The horses on the edge look like they were maybe even squeezed in. All of the characters in this artwork look to be congregated to the middle of the painting, besides the villages in the distance. Linear perspective is used in the placement of the villages in the background and in all the men and horses, which are grouped in the middle of the screen. Looking at the features in the painting I notice the use of overlapping and vertical placement, which both imply depth. The horses overlap each other as well as the gentlemen and other elements of the painting. The brown horse’s head overlaps the black one hiding its mouth. The villages and hills in the background appear to be very far away (diminishing size); they look smaller and distant from the rest of the main aspects of the painting.

Perspective lines occur also in the background of the painting in the upper right in the trees getting smaller as they descend into the painting. This painting is an example of linear perspective. All lines converge at a vanishing point.

11. Due to the physical setting of the piece, there is light streaming through the space between Monet’s

The medium of the painting was Tempera on wood and this was common practice use of painting during the early part of the Renaissance. The painting itself tells a story. It shows three miracles that saint Zenobius performed. In the first scene, we are shown Zenobius beside what is believed to be a funeral procession for a young boy. In the painting itself, it is

The oil painting is an attempt to map the motion and energy of the body. It is a sequential depiction of movement split into a series of about twenty different static positions that show a nude figure descending a flight of stairs. The nude, like the notion of the painting, is abstract, composed of conical and cylindrical shapes and elements, assembled in a way that suggests the rhythm of the body when going downstairs. The colours used are those typical of Cubist paintings - ochres and browns. This is because Cubists felt that using a

Everything in the painting is smoothed surface. The painter did not use texture in the paint but only in very few areas like in the oil of the candle. The tones in this painting are warm. There are a lot of browns and ambers. A few cool colors were used to define the shadows of the shapes with blue. The attention getter is the candle light. It’s almost hard to ignore because it is so bright. The second brightest thing in the painting is the woman’s shirt, but even that is not as bright because of all the shadows and creases in it. Another reason why

Michelangelo responded that, oil painting was, "an art for women and for leisurely and idle people like Fra Sebastiano" (Barnes 113). Fresco is a time-consuming process, however the overall effect is stunning. First the artist lays on a coat of plaster, waiting until it is nearly dry. A thin paper is placed on the surface that contains tiny perforations in the outline of the image to be painted. Charcoal is then dusted into the holes creating a preparatory drawing, or cartoon, to be painted onto the surface. The paint is brushed onto the damp plaster and as the plaster dries, the paint becomes part of the wall. Giving a much deeper and rich color than oil on plaster.

The artist has used Oil paint and given the scene a more realistic look. We can see that

The artist uses stimulated textures, which are created to look like something other than paint on a canvas. There is also a variety of textures, but particularly in the painting is the pipe, newspaper and table. They are depicted as smooth with polished wood and we could feel them by touching.

The painting I chose was a painting of Chrysanthemums by Pablo Picasso. It is a very simple and straightforward, yet captivating image. The way the petals on the flowers were painted are very interesting, each of them were created with unique stroke of the brush. Picasso obviously wanted viewers to focus only flowers as the foreground and background were left somewhat rugged and undetailed. At first it may be hard to notice, however, it can be seen that the source of light for the picture is on the left as the right side is painted with slightly darker colors. When positioned directly in front of the painting the flowers actually do not seem as flowers at all. Only until you move farther back will the blurry strokes of white and red actually

My original take on the painting had the means of experimenting with hyper realism and being smooth and precise so I chose oils because they can blend nicely. Although,

For some time master artists have devoted time and effort to perfecting the elusive techniques needed to create a realistic picture. Painters of the post-Renaissance moved closer to realism by several methods, one being perspective. To give a picture depth was difficult and required close observation. Finding the horizon line and then relating it to the paint canvas creates a linear perspective, as does proper sizing of objects in relation to each other. Making trees larger in the foreground and smaller in the background gives a sense of space. Using
