Webbed Woods Analysis

The artwork being analyzed is called Nameless and Friendless and it was completed in 1857 by Emily Mary Osborn. The artwork was most likely created in England, where she was from. The media is oil paints on canvas, rather than the wood that was usually used. It is currently on display in Tate, Britain.

Acclaimed artist Helen Frankenthaler created a work of art that was influenced by abstract expressionism. His, Snow Pines (2004), predominately utilizes woodblock printing technique . This artwork is considered a Woodblock prints--a block of wood on whose surface a design for printing is engraved along the grain. Frankenthaler doesn't utilizes any form of shapes in her artwork however, she does uses pigments mixed with water that are then lightly brushed onto a piece of wood. While observing this up close (seen in the smaller picture), you notice scratches of wood lines in the background of the artwork. This was achieved by the technique of woodcutting-- make a woodcut without a press by placing the inked block against a sheet of paper and applying pressure by hand.These lines help illustrates the wood texture of the artwork. From glimpsing for the first time, I noticed the translucence of the color illustrating the light, vibrant tone .The colors used in Frankenthaler’s art are mostly comprised of warm colors--yellow, red, orange and pink-- and cool colors: green and blue.The artwork flows from warm colors to cool colors.The color scheme is analogous as the piece include variations in color between hues adjacent to one another on the color wheel, such as yellow-green, green, and blue-green. Due to the bright

Norman Rockwell, a 20th century painter was born in 1894. He depicted many scenes of American culture through his perspective until his death in 1978. I chose to do my looking assignment on his oil and graphite on canvas and wood “Framed”. I traveled to Roanoke to see this fine piece of art in the Tubman Art museum. When I first looked at this piece I was very drawn to the texture. By the looks of the picture I took, you cannot really tell that this piece is textured. This piece depicts a picture of a man who seems to be a museum worker holding a frame and essentially framing himself in it. In this piece you also see other pieces of art hanging on the wall around him giving him a wide variety of very expressive looks. You see in this painting that Rockwell used a picture inside of a picture to tell the story of the museum worker.

How much deer could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were driving down the road and came across a dead, pregnant doe? Well, the woodchuck chucking the dear is a bit irrelevant. Rather, the two poems Traveling through the Dark by William Stafford and Woodchucks by Maxine Kumin respectively focus on the relationship between humans and nature. Woodchucks takes an allegorical approach, with a heavy handed political message. Traveling simply examines the significance of human life in the context of nature. If the poems were literary characters, Traveling would be Jane Eyre, Woodchucks would be Brutus. Traveling is personal, with the narrator having a strong sense of humanity, but ultimately basing his actions on logic.

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

The brush that felt glazed with the abundant horde of a thousand corn leaves rusting from left to right stroked the blank canvas with an orange that reminds me of the Arizonan sunset. Another stroke and the background color of the canvas caught no sign of white. The neutral vibrancy of the painting that was the color of a broad lion was complete and was set for the next coat of paint.

Scraping a Deerskin (shows or proves) J. G. Brown's interest in the beautiful work of painting. He made/gave/given the weathered barn and tools in exact detail and created a balanced geometric (work of art/artistic combining of elements) based on the up-and-down and flat/left-and-right parts/pieces of the barn and the diagonal wood beam that supports the deer hide as the tanner scrapes it clean of hair and (many broken pieces of something destroyed), a process known as "scudding." The light-filled (wide view of a nature scene/wide area of beautiful land) visible through the open barn window reflects the influence of the impressionistic style popular in the United States and Europe at this time. Created late in his life, Scraping a Deerskin

In the painting North Shore Lake Superior by Lawren S. Harris which is located in the Tom Thompson Gallery in the AGO, line and colour relationships bring about a sense of harmony and contrast throughout the piece as well as the feeling of peacefulness. When the viewer witnesses the landscape, the composition exemplifies a scene of a beach in the winter with its many blue tones. The work of art resembles a beach with a cool atmosphere incorporating mostly blue, grey, and white. In the foreground, there is a tree trunk at the shore of the ocean which is centered and surrounded by many stones. The trunk has no texture due to the abstraction of its form; no detailed lines are present and the solid vertical strips of dark colours simplify the structure. There is an evident presence of light as indicated by the diagonal lines that descend from the top left hand corner of the painting. The lines illustrate dynamic movement of the sun beams as they collide with the contour of the freestanding form. The combination of elements, such as line and colour, bring about harmony as well as evoke a sense of tranquility.

I am analyzing the form and content of a stylized painting entitled The Palisades by John William Hill. This was found in the collection section of themetmusuem.org which was painted during the pre Raphaelite movement; when artist emphasized meticulous detail in what was observed rather than imagined nature. This artwork shows the aesthetics of nature, depicting a peaceful scenery with spacious green acres during the year of the 1870s. During the late 18th centuries, natural resources weren’t highly industrialized and that in itself shows how nature was essential for all human species. I argue that this painting shows how everything in nature connects and communicates with one another.

Bindlestiff? Did you mean bundle stuff Mr. Web? Did you turn off AutoCorrect? However, after thinking perhaps it wasn’t a mistake I decided to look up the definition of bindlestiff. Very quickly, Google pulled up the answer I was seeking and I was shocked. Bindlestiff- noun, informal, meaning: a tramp or a hobo, especially one carrying a bundle containing a bedroll and other gear. Firstly, this genius of an artist named this work after a “hobo” who usually carries a bundle or other gear and used a seed bag as his medium. After thinking about this for an entirely too long time (I’m horrible at analyzing works) I believe, that maybe the artist was trying to convey the discovery of Texas and the connection of all of our towns. Maybe, just maybe, he used this seed bag to connect to the bindlestiff, and he used the division of the bindlestiff (where the towns were placed) to show that every town in Texas is related in the terms of discovery and they didn’t just appear in this huge state. I believe Webb used this man to connect the towns of Texas in the matters of saying we’re all the same as we all had to start from the discovery of some traveling man. Another way I think this artwork was thoroughly thought out is he gives this man a plain expression and no eyebrows, very similar to the Mona Lisa created in 1503. However, two things are ironically different in these already very similar works. In Texas Bindlestiff, the background is very plain where as the Mona Lisa has a very elegant, detailed background. In Webb’s work, from 2016, it seems as if the work is very simple and not very detailed in a day where modern art is evolved so much from the days of the Mona Lisa, however, this 513 year older painting is ironically much more

My ex lover's got humor She's the laugh during the prayer Knows everybody's disapproval I should've let her go sooner If the Hells ever did speak She is the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak Accusations every day 'She danced in the woods, you heard them say it His church offers no absolutes She tells me 'forget about your wife'

When I first saw Grant Wood’s painting of the American Gothic, I was very young, somewhere in the age range of 9 years old. The elderly couple whom both had emotional faces and the elderly gentleman had a pitchfork in his hand. At the time this scared me as I often felt that this piece was awful displaying nothing more than two people on a farm Now that I am older I enjoy this art piece immensely.

Using natural phenomenon as a starting point for abstraction, Mark Grotjahn’s paintings straddle the polarities of artifice and nature. His painting, Lavender Butterfly Jacaranda over Green (Fig. 2), expresses his fascination with nature. Transferring the experience of observation to an intrigue of creative possibility, Grotjahn harnesses the mysticism of nature through aesthetic formality.
