Maximilien Luce created a painting named Rue Ravignan, Paris. This artwork was made in 1893 and was created by using oil on canvas. The piece is representational by the manner in which he has created buildings, people, trees, and streetlamps which are clearly seen. The painting is of a dark street lit only by streetlamps which are created by small dots and the style called pointillism. This painting is very dark with purple, blue and pink hues. The street lamps are lit on casting a shadow from the person walking along the street and the man walking on the side walk hunched over. The person walking along the sidewalk seems to be an older gentleman holding a cane in his left hand and his shadow is seen on the wall beside him. The sky is blue …show more content…
The HMFA has a collection of 3 skulls of part of this collection. The medium is plasticine on wood and was created in 2009. The overview of the image created is that of a skull. However very quickly you realize it has much more details. The artwork consists of many characters, scenes and different pictures that seem to be all symbolic. It includes a wide range of figures and images from historical to pop culture. The artwork has black, white, blue, and pink around the skull. However the skull itself is made of many different colors because of the extensive amount of detailed figures making up the entire skull. There is so much texture in this artwork! The outside of the skull has many ridged lines creating a Pacman arena. The artist created the Pacman arena including the ghosts, the points, and Pacman itself all onto the left and top of the skull The next things that popped into my view were the Adventure Time figures above the skull’s left eye. It is Fin and Jake from the show Adventure Time, Fin is parachuting with a big dollar bill while Jake has his arm wrapped around Fin’s backpack strap. There is a large depiction of Hitler with two large megaphones behind him. It looks like he is asserting his power. There is money scattered all around the skull but mainly on top above the eyes in between all of these bills are …show more content…
Before you know it is all over and it is quiet again only the calm down remains. I believe Magdalena Fernandez took inspiration from nature and geometric forms that are all tied together in this beautiful piece of work. She used the work of an artist’s song which is actually made by moving around hands and stomping rather than actual rain. It is artificial rain she states in an interview.
This video installation has always captured my eyes and ears because of the nature feel of it. I think the artwork is very interesting because she does say it is not really the sound of rain. She has taken a sound clip of music and added a visual representation of it. The artist however mainly leaves it up to use to interpret the piece. The only information she has given us is the mediums used to create it and thus I say she is successful in bringing our own perception to the table. The chaos all quiets down at the
Raul Ramirez is a very confident, creative student that is in Mr.Ward’s high school english class in The Bronx,New York, who loves to paint. Raul used to paint his sister by bribing her with whatever he could scunge up,but know his girlfriend just sits for him. He knows that painting will not give him much money and tells the readers by saying “People just don’t get it.Even if I never make a dime --which,by the way,ain’t gonna happen--I’d still have to paint.” Raul is also a very shy teenager that wants to be an artist and will be the first person in his family to be a painter if he becomes one. The thing is even though his “brothers” don’t support him--by laughing at him and saying he's loco-- he still wants to paint and says it by saying
The art piece, Rue Transnonain, is a historical lithograph that was published in a newspaper on April 15, 1834. During this time period in France, where this piece was created, there was a surge of political and social revolution. The lithograph was created to represent the massacre of innocent people that happened in Paris, France. “[The French National Guard responded] to gunshots from top-floor windows at number 12, Rue Transnonain, troops stormed the building and opened fire, killing and wounding residents” (“Rue Transnonain”). The subject of this artwork is the innocent people that were killed by the military. The most prominent element of art in this piece is line. Daumier used lines in order to depict all of the shapes, with an example
The use of symbols sets the tone of the piece. She personifies the rain in, “But the rain/ Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh/ Upon the glass and listen for reply.” She makes t...

From across the room I could see the bright yellow, pink and red flowers. Taking some steps forward there was even more to like. The overall appearance is a depiction of everyday life. The setting is outside in a grassy area. The sky looks grey but is turning brighter. There is a house in the country whose owner is in the front milking a cow. There is a dead tree that stands bear in the center. The objects that appear closest are a broken fence and the intensely bright colored flowers. All of the objects seem animated and do not seem realistic. The clouds are grey and sharp. Making the viewer feel that something is wrong. It looks like a storm was just taking place. The wind blew the clouds away and is still blowing the grass to the right.
Through the painting, one can see that the development in Paris started a long time ago. One can see large buildings, which were not found in other parts of the world. The buildings look good, showing that architectural education was dominant in Paris at that time to enable the construction of such great multi-storey houses. At that old time , Paris had already been introduced to street lights. The city must have developed long ago. In other parts of the world, street lights
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.
Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously
This piece is acrylic, oilstick, and spray paint on wood panel that is 186.1 centimeters in height and 125.1 centimeters in width. This piece features a human-like figure in the center that is mostly half red and half black. This figure has a gray head with one yellow eye and one light gray eye and above its head is a black halo. The background consists of patches of various colors such as light blue, black, dark red, light green, beige, turquoise, pink, and yellow. On the bottle left corner there is a figure drawn that looks like a fish and has a strip of mustard yellow painted through it. Also towards the bottom right of the artwork, there is some drawn on letters that almost look like words but are messily painted over with a desert sand color. This piece is my favorite because I find it aesthetically pleasing. There is a lot going on in this piece that makes looking at it genuinely interesting. The colors that Basquiat choses for the background go very well together and overall compliment the figure in the center. I like how incredibly expressive this piece is and it makes me want to buy a canvas and start painting that I desire. I also like how the human-like figure is drawn. One could see what looks like an outlined ribcage on the figure, which makes me believe that the head is actually a skull. Upon further research I learned that Basquiat was
We can see a clear representation of the impressionist that tended to completely avoid historical or allegorical subjects. In this painting, Monet’s painted very rapidly and used bold brushwork in order to capture the light and the color; include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes. An insistence on what Monet called “a spontaneous work rather than a calculated one” – this in particular accounts for the sketchy and seemingly unfinished quality of the Impressionist paintings. In the texture, he played with the shadow and light and created variation in tone, he employs patches of depth and surface. The light in the painting come from back to the windmill, it is a light shines softly behind the houses and the windmill. He was shown each brushstroke in the painting. Balance is achieved through an asymmetrical placement of the houses and the most important the
The French 1884 oil on canvas painting The Song of the Lark by Jules-Adolphe Breton draws grasps a viewer’s attention. It draws an observer in by its intense but subtle subject matter and by the luminous sun in the background. Without the incandescent sun and the thoughtful look of the young woman, it would just be a bland earth-toned farm landscape. However, Breton understood what to add to his painting in order to give it drama that would instantly grab an onlooker’s interest.
The Language of Art by Ann Pelo describes the inquiry-based studio practices in early childhood settings. When I started to read chapter six I traced a lot of words ,as going through the few pages I came across this word called “children’s pursuits” at the very beginning of the first question of how do we grow a culture of inquiry (Pelo,2007,p.109) . I choose this word because it is challenging for me during my first practicum placement, illustrates the heart of this chapter and guides me as an Educator to facilitate my learning for future preparation. It literally impacts our learning and pedagogical styles when we recreate art activities for children.
“Dance is movement aware of itself. Dance is purposeful movement that employs artful communication to express ideas and feelings, meaning that aesthetic intention is present” (Cornett, 2014, p 394). Art could be anywhere and anything it just needs to have creativity in order to make it unique and beautiful. One simple art form, could speak for a thousand words and convey many significant messages such as the art form of dance. Baile Folklorico is a great example of communicating in a unique and a stunning art form. Baile Folklorico is a folk dance that elaborates different dances, music and costumes to represent a Latin or Mexican culture.
From the outside, Rain doesn’t impress the eye much. But it’s a different story once you’re inside. When you first enter, you are pleasantly surprised by a small room with a ceiling that has black light fixtures which casts a pretty blue accent on the walls. The wooden floors and bamboo plants give the front room a genuine Asian flair. Even though the front is small and narrow, the booths lining the glass windows make ...
As I read this work of art, my mind was transported to my favorite place in the outdoors. My imagination was filled with the waving of the tall grass, the stillness of the trees, and the feeling that time is standing still and I’m the only one who notices. For example, it sparked the idea, or memory, of how much I love nature and the outdoors, and the great sense of peace it brings to me. In an instant, it showed me how far I had drifted from that mindset.
