Colors can be symbolic of infinite various things. Artists take this truth into attention while selecting the colors they use in their paintings; as these colors are used to generate emotions inside their target market. Identical to an artist, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes use of light and color in his masterpiece to create float and harmony. There is, however, an additional, extensive motive for his use of light and coloration symbolism. Fitzgerald uses lights and hues to focus on the critical battle

Fireflies are so beautiful. They disappear and magically appear at some distance in the dark giving the illusion of something out of this world. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw a firefly. I guess it was way back when I was a little kid. Those were the times when long hours of power cuts in the evening and absence of a backup power source used to bring our daily works to a halt. At least a couple of hours of deviation from our lives when there was no television seeking our attention

Horses of the Night Stage notes First Stage Second Stage Brick House Quite literally, a brick house. The location of which a lot of the story happens. Owned by Vanessa’s grandfather. “Looked huge and cool from the outside… inside it wasn’t cool at all.” Could possibly represent Grandfather Conner’s cold, ignorant, arrogant attitude and demeanor. Grandfather Connor Very aggressive, cold demeanor similar to the bunkhouse. Always tries to find a reason to get mad like the train being late or Grandmother

Inspiration can be looked at in many different ways, some take pride in being the original developer of a certain thing, whether it be art or a mechanical invention but is anything ever purely original? One way or another we are inspired by others and the things around us. Creating their own masterpieces, both Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon & Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) were inspired by Paul Cézanne’s, The Large Bathers but made their own paintings great by not binding their self

Gallowgate Lard 1995 is a painting made with thick oil and beeswax. It was painted by Ken Curie, and suprisingly, it’s a self portrait. The skin is washed out and blanched, bereft eyebrows, and blood stained lips. Also, the face appears to be emerging out from the darkness. The use of beeswax makes the skin appear more realistic and the thick oil paint provides further texture to the surface. It is located in the Aberdeen Art Gallery and is considered a piece of “Contemporary British Art.” The idea

It seems that the Renaissance (1300-1700), methods of presenting the surrounding world in a flat pictorial plane using linear perspective, has dictated the way artists have worked for many centuries. Linear perspective is a technique used by artists that uses line to create the illusion of depth and space within their work. This method of working is suggested to have originated from Leon Battista Alberti’s (1404-1472) metaphor of painting, he proposes that a work of art is ‘… an open window through

Perla Gomez Professor Nevins ENC 1101 26 September 2017 Broadway City When thinking of impressionism Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Éduard Manet come to mind, but it’s not often people spend their time learning about every single artist out there. One of the not so well-known artists Jonas lie was very much influenced by the “Fathers of Impressionism” above. His paintings used the small, thin, visible brush strokes and emphasized on light to depict the passing of time like many other impressionist

In Art 101, we have been studying various art works but our group was intrigued by chapter twenty. This chapter is about the history between the eighteenth century and nineteenth century. We discuss the classical look for paintings and architecture. We also see how they develop through the following years. I find it most appealing with how many cultures created such art I will explain later. With European culture increasing with ideas, it created the art world we have today. There are three specific

The Gathering is an acrylic painting of a woodpile in Peterborough, NH. The image represents the gathering of ideas and people that led the painting’s success. The first visual element that comes to mind when I look at this painting is the direction. The painting’s direction is vertical because it gives the illusion that the viewer is looking towards the top of a hill to a woodpile. The woodpile is considered the “figure” in which is detached and focused on while the surround hill is the “ground”

Johannes Vermeer (1632 –1675) was born in Delft, Holland in October 1632 into the Calvanist tradition, during the Dutch Golden Age. He was introduced to the world of art, particularly painting, by his father. His father owned a tavern, frequented by artists and dealers and by the time his father died in 1652, the twenty year old Vermeer was left with much debt but also a great enthusiasm for art. Considered too young to be an artist by the Dutch Guild, he would need another six years apprenticeship
