My work is primarily based on the idea of pattern, layering, movement, and the boundaries of space. The combination of a planned design, mixed with a chaotic harmony of lines, circles, swirls and patterns. My work took a sudden change from my previous theme I had been focusing on for weeks, in which I was exploring architecture and the overlapping layering of beams and line. I became frustrated in trying to simplify such a complex and chaotic subject matter and out of this mental dissatisfaction in my work made a radical decision to change my theme and work with an idea I enjoy and could expand on more confidently. In previous works of my own, outside of the college studio, the notion of intricate details of Indian mandala designs, stained …show more content…
The colours I use create a sense of freedom in my work, as well as unruliness. I have no preconceived ideas of how my pallet will unfold for each painting. I simply work with my own personality and what I am drawn to at that time.
In relation to my darker pieces, I found the overall appearance of them very structured and geometric, and not as free flowing and natural in contrast to my colourful pieces. I found it strange how colour can influence an artist’s work. I had unconsciously created the monochrome pieces to be more solid and compact. I was unaware of my subliminal actions until a viewer of my work had pointed it out to me.
When it comes to materials I primarily work with acrylics. For me, acrylics allow me to create bright and colourful pieces. I find it hard to achieve such luminosity with oil paints and found them very dark and dull at times. Pre-made and basic acrylics give me the freedom to create a variety of different shades and tones to what I desire and what I think will suit a piece more accordingly. Acrylic paint dries quicker and allows me to layer up designs easily and fluidly without worrying about the painted layer already underneath it. In terms of my colour pallet I was drawn towards tranquil shades of blues and pastel colours. A mixture of blues, pinks, purples, whites, and dark hues are my main colour pallet. With these colours

He believed that this method of painting allowed the artist to express themselves in the purest way possible, with no boundaries or reasoning. Abstract art was not conceived as a way to produce pretty patterns for their own sake, but as a way to communicate more directly with the soul of the viewer. Kandinsky’s art disregards the material world in order to attend more closely to the spiritual one. 9
I would consider my art abstract art for that reason. It is a way of expressing myself freely as an artist. My method of working allows me to have total control of what I want the viewers to interpret and respond to. This ideology of complete freedom without representation opens up my work to be interpreted by the viewer as they please. My method of working by creating these patterns and designs lets me go into a different and stress free mental
History plays a very important role in the development of art and architecture. Over time people, events, and religion, have contributed to the evolution of art. Christianity has become a very common and well established religion, however, in the past it was hidden and a few people would worship this religion secretly. Gradually, Christianity became a growing religion and it attracted many converts from different social statuses. Christian art was highly influenced by the Greco-Romans, but it was immensely impacted by the establishment of the Edict of Milan in the year 313 AD. The Edict of Milan was so significant that scholars divide Christian art into two time periods, time before and after the Edict of Milan of 313.
I agree with this statement because color is important and the color makes the picture brighter. When you color with different colors you can see the different lines of the paint that you couldn’t see before or that was hard to see without the paint. Some of the sculptures already have color in them when the artist is done making them. Like in the picture there is some white and black in the sculpture. But if the artist would but some color to the face it would show the lips, eyes, and nose a lot better. Also the color in the sculpture will make it stand out and I like to use color when I am coloring or when I am painting something because it brightens up my mood and it makes it look prettier I think. Some people just like the color black and white because they like the natural. They might also like it because it will look better on that one
ABSTRACT: British Avant-Garde art, poses a challenge to traditional aesthetic analysis. This paper will argue that such art is best understood in terms of Wittgenstein¡¦s concept of "seeing-as," and will point out that the artists often use this concept in describing their work. This is significant in that if we are to understand art in terms of cultural practice, then we must actually look at the practice. We will discuss initiatives such as the work of Damien Hirst, most famous for his animals in formaldehyde series, and that of Simon Patterson, who warps diagrams, e.g., replacing the names of stops on London Underground maps with those of philosophers. Cornelia Parker¡¦s idea that visual appeal is not the most important thing, but rather that the questions that are set up in an attempt to create an "almost invisible" art are what are central, will also be discussed. Also, if we concur with Danto¡¦s claims that "contemporary art no longer allows itself to be represented by master narratives," that Nothing is ruled out.", then it is indeed fruitful to understand art in terms of seeing-as. For application of this concept to art explains what occurs conceptually when the viewer shifts from identifying a work, as an art object, and then as not an art object, and explains why nothing is ruled out.
distances. The artist 's choice of elements indicats the conditional nature of the observations. The colors are used to compliment and support the painting 's composition. The uses of colors show how the clever composition of the painting successfully draws the viewer 's eyes around it.
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
The colours used in the artwork are earthy tones with various browns, greens, yellows, blues and some violet. These colours create a sense of harmony on the...
Frieda Kahlo was born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderon in Coyoacan, Mexico, July 6th, 1907. She did not in the first place plan to become a creator; she entered a pre-Master of Education system in Mexico City. She endured more than large integer dealing in her brio time and during her convalescence she began to discomfit. Her beaux-arts, mostly self-portraits and still life, filled with the colors and forms of Mexican folk art. Frieda created some 200 spacing’s, artistic production and sketches germane to her education in life, physical and aroused pain and her churning relationship with her ex husband Diego. She produced 143 beaux arts, lv of which are self-portraits. At the time of her exhibition first step, Frieda’s health was such that her Doctor told her that she was not to leave her patch. She insisted that she was going to wait on her opening, and, in Frieda style, she did. She arrived in an ambulance and her bed in the backward of a transport. She was placed in her bed and four men carried her in to the waiting guests.
We encounter art everyday. Art is paintings and sculptures, music and dance, film and photography. It is also fashion designing and architecture, novels and magazines. These seemingly different things have one thing in common – they are all ways in which humans convey themselves. For thousands of years, humans have used symbols to tell a story or describe a struggle. Art is the use of these symbols, symbols that represent us in some distinct way.
of aesthetic towards life like other artwork does. It accomplished this by tearing the conventional
Art is something that has been around since humans have roamed the earth. It has been created by millions of different people, and has been influenced by many things. One incredibly big influence on art has been religion. Artists usually create work to express feelings and convey different meanings. It is no surprise that religion plays a significant role in this creation.
Introduction Upon my first encounter with Kandinsky's painting, my eyes and indeed my mind were overcome with a sense of puzzlement, as it seemed impossible to decipher what lay beneath his passionate use of colour and distorted forms. Kandinsky hoped by freeing colour from its representational restrictions, it, like music could conjure up a series of emotions in the soul of viewer, reinforced by corresponding forms. Throughout this essay, I will follow Kandinsky's quest for a pure, abstract art and attempt to determine whether his passionate belief in this spiritual art and his theories on its effects on the soul, can truly be felt and appreciated by the average viewer, who at first glance would most likely view Kandinsky's paintings as simply abstract. Kandinsky was indeed a visionary, an artist who through his theoretical ideas of creating a new pictorial language sought to revolutionize the art of the twentieth-century. Regarded as the founder of abstract painting, he broke free from arts traditional limitations and invented the first painting for paintings sake, whereby the dissolution of the object and subsequent promotion of colour and form became means of expression in their own right.
When viewing Georges Seurat’s, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (Fig. 31-37), perception is changed vastly depending on the viewer 's proximity to the piece. At close range, all that is visible is a mass array of countless circular dots and tiny lines in a vast range of colors. Greens, blues, reds, oranges, yellows, white, browns, black and purples are all visible in a multitude of intensities. The Divisionism technique utilized causes this piece to appear as an abstract collection of colors when viewed at close range. Yet when distance is between the piece and the viewer, these seemingly sporadic dots come together to create a complete and detailed scene. Primarily consisting of biomorphic shapes, Seurat’s incorporates in every inch of the canvas
When I imagine an artist, I picture a Parisian dabbing at a sprawling masterpiece between drags on a cigarette seated in an extravagantly long holder. He stands amid a motley sea of color, great splashes of vermillion and ultramarine and yellow ochre hiding the tarp on the studio floor. Somehow, not one lonely drop of paint adorns his Italian leather shoes with their pointed toes like baguettes.
Well, in short, it is not traditionally important, but color in this way makes a subtle storytelling tool that affects the viewer on a subconscious level. An example of this would be as follows. If you were to imagine a gritty crime drama, you most likely wouldn’t imagine a warm yellow and orange color palette, rather, you would imagine a cool colored, bleak world, complimenting the story’s darker tones.
From Mark Twain to Vincent van Gogh, each genre of art comes with its greatest master. There are many compelling arguments to why this specific artist, musician or writer is the best in their category. In modern days, we don’t have a Mozart, or a Hemingway or even an Andy Warhol. There are many good artists of their own kind and many more are emerging thanks to new technology and new forms of media art. However, many arguments are made as to why these forms of art aren’t considered true forms of art. A few years back and even today, many argue that digital paintings aren’t real art so it is not surprising when people don’t think of a video game as an art form, but it is. The world is at constant change and so is art.
