Unit 3 Assignment 1 Art Analysis

What first catches the viewer 's eyes are the vivid colors used in the painting. Ultimately what jumps out the most is the man on the right 's red robe. The artist intended this for a reason, discussed later. The room where the men are standing is front lit. Also the atmosphere is

The artwork that I chose to describe is by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The artwork is called “Untitled (1981)” it is considered as an abstract piece of artwork because it represent a meaning, but does not try to make an external reality of something we see every day. This picture is of a distorted fisherman, but Basquiat exaggerated on how the person looks because it does not look anyway in form a natural look. In this artwork it uses vertical and horizontal lines at the top of the artwork. The lines are not thick at all, but really thin and curved lines. There is diagonal lines used when describing the somewhat fishing pole on the person back, and there are many unique thick lines of paint used at the bottom

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

As the viewer’s gaze lingers on this central image, his/her eyes reluctantly and painfully follow the path of the crimson red blood that spurts out of Christ’s body and so naturally trickles down his arms into a pool at the base of the cross. The red bole that seeps through the cracked gold background seems to intensify this action. The pale grayish hue of Christ’s tortured skin morbidly conveys his lifelessness.

Character Description- gives the reader the perspective of the lives of the "New People"; the artist

11.Q: “‘What does James think about this?’ ‘Uh-what do you mean?’ she turned and faced me, expression slightly withering. ‘Use your brain, Deidre.’” (Stiefvater 132).

The first element I look at to describe the painting was the title. Reading the title with the year gave me an idea of what the painting could be about, which in this case would be ambassadors during the Reformation of Europe. After beginning to view this piece of art, the first aspect I notice is located on the foreground of the painting which is a skull tilted to an angle where, if viewed from other perspectives, people could mistake it for another object. After recognizing the skull, I assumed the painting was a historical subject of the two figures standing or a narrative over these two-people standing proudly as if they accomplished a grand achievement through realism. Afterwards I concluded that the subject view would have been focused on the two men standing. The next object that caught my attention was those two men standing, especially the one standing in the lighter colored clothing. Soon after I examined the items in the background while trying to identify them. Most of the tools and other objects I couldn’t determine but it gives insight to how scholarly the two men could

All the figures in the painting have different expressions on their faces. For example Mr. Columbus starrs dirrectly at the group of coucil men sitting infront of him to convince them of the new world he had discovered. He stands infront of the crowd, looking like a honorable man, with his chesting bulsging out and his right footing pointing forward. His left hand is holding a map, while the right firmly points at it. There is a concil man sitted next to where Christopher stands, looks down at the map to validate Mr. Columbus agruement. There are three figures standing on the left excluding the king and his guides. These men seem so suppresed by what Columbus is telling them, that one of them grab the other firmly on the shoulder to perheps ask him how all of it is possible. The king on the other hand opens his month wide in disbelieve and his hands lift up at about a 30 degree angle, as if he was attempting to stop Columbus from fabricating more lies. On the far right of the painting, there is a boy with what appears to be a map that he is showing two men on his right.; they both starr at it while the other lean forward with his hand placed under his chin. Human drama remains me of Giotto style in Italy 1400-1500. He was the first artists to incoporate human drama into his work by including little details of gustures and emotions. This very artist was great at expressing different types of emotions on the faces

Examining the formal qualities of Homer Watson’s painting Horse and Rider In A Landscape was quite interesting. I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because it was the piece I liked the least, therefore making me analyze it more closely and discover other aspects of the work, besides aesthetics.

The figures in the painting take up most up the space. The background is not emphasized. St. Peter’s accuser and the soldier are very close to each other and St. Peter is further away from them, indicating that he is not in cahoots (USE A DIFFERENT WORD) of the accusations. The textures in the clothes of st peter, realistic color. The painting looks more of a picture and the onlooker is right there in the scene too. Oil on canvas provided for the painting to come across more

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.

Shepard Fairey’s piece titled Pay Up or Shut Up is a representation of the role that money or your role in society dictate the power of your speech. This piece of art by Fairey was released in May of 2015. It is a screen print on cream speckletone paper.

The painting shows Jesus and his twelve disciples at the last supper, exactly when Jesus tells them "One of you shall betray me." The painting shows how they are all sitting at a long table and Christ has his arms held out to them. The twelve apostles are all separated into sets of three and they all show shocked facial expressions upon hearing Jesus' statement, except Judas, the one accountable for betraying Jesus. He is leaning back into the shadows, and he is shown holding a bag of money close to his chest. Da Vinci places him in the painting right in the heart of it all, yet he still manages to separate him from the rest of the disciples. The painting tells the exact story of the last

Compared with Cimabue's 'Enthroned Madonna', Giotto reveals a new emphasis on three-dimensional form. This is portrayed both in the positioning of the throne and in the use of chiaroscuro. Giotto’s throne, in contrast to Cimabue's seems to be monarchical. Throughout the painting there is an inter play of weight, pose and gesture that affects the physical materiality of the drapery in a new way. In other ways, this is a much more naturalistic painting than

The artist used colors to portray different objects in real life. For example, the black was used to look like charcoal and looked like it. The author also made his paintings look quickly painted. This gives the paintings a very unique feel and sometimes even realistic.
