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.

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
