Recommended: Color theory research

One of the aspects that has drawn my attention about this painting was the fight between the two men in the center. It was the only area in the painting that was brightest, since it seems like the two men are fighting in front of a sun, which suggests that they are the focal point in this painting. I also notice that the colors on the right side of the painting are much brighter than the left side of the painting, where the colors look much darker or toned down. However, I can still see a little bit of light peeping through the right side, which is actually coming from the fight between the two men. I also notice that the people in the painting are much larger than the two men in the center, and they’re strategically placed along the borders of the painting. Furthermore, each person in this painting has a very different body language and position. It actually looks as if they’re flying towards the outside of the painting because their faces are turned away from the fight, their bodies are drawn horizontally, and their arms and legs are almost at an upright position. …show more content…

As I’ve mentioned earlier, the left side of the painting is much brighter than the right side of the painting. However, there’s still a little bit of light in the left side and the fight in center of the painting appears to be the brightest. I’m not entirely sure what this type of contrasts suggests, but it seems like it is portraying the concept of good guys versus bad guys. I do notice that the colors on the creatures are much darker than the people in this painting, especially the python in the water, and it looks as if it’s screaming or if it’s in pain by the way its mouth is opened. Therefore, it seems like the bad creatures are losing due to the battle between the two men in the

  • WGU C100 Task 2 Reflection

    963 Words  | 2 Pages

    My initial thought about this painting is that it seems to be incorrect. The reflection in the mirror shows that the lady is looking in the direction of the man standing in front of her. If the lady is looking at the man their reflections should not be off to the side. The second observation is the lady is sad or disappointed and is looking past the man standing in front of her. My last observation is there are three sections from left to right; bottles and the audience, the lady, and the reflections of the lady and man. The most interesting concept about this artwork is how the reflections seem to be inaccurate. If the bottles and the reflections of the lady and the man standing in front of her are at an angle, then why are the vertical lines perpendicular to each other?

    The painting is organized simply. The background of the painting is painted in an Impressionist style. The blurring of edges, however, starkly contrasts with the sharp and hard contours of the figure in the foreground. The female figure is very sharp and clear compared to the background. The background paint is thick compared to the thin lines used to paint the figures in the foreground. The thick paint adds to the reduction of detail for the background. The colors used to paint the foreground figures are vibrant, as opposed to the whitened colors of the Impressionist background. The painting is mostly comprised of cool colors but there is a range of dark and light colors. The light colors are predominantly in the background and the darker colors are in the foreground. The vivid color of the robe contrasts with the muted colors of the background, resulting in an emphasis of the robe color. This emphasis leads the viewer's gaze to the focal part of the painting: the figures in the foreground. The female and baby in the foreground take up most of the canvas. The background was not painted as the artist saw it, but rather the impression t...

  • Art Analysis: Ivan Le Lorraine Albright’s Among Those Left

    746 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the painting Albright took a literal approach, in the rendering of the shapes he used throughout the canvas. This gives the viewer a realistic perception of what the artist was studying. Because, Albright painted this in a realism fashion he must have an adequate knowledge of the antimony of the human form as well as how the muscles would react to the pose he has chosen for his model. Since this is in fact a piece done by Albright some abnormalities can be founds. The most noticeable irregularity is how the artist betrayed the light source. When you first examine the painting your eye is instantly drawn to the man’s face, than the eyes move down the canvas with the left arm acting as a guide. From there your eyes move down to the man’s legs and feet, after that your eye will move around the wheel back to the face.

  • The Child In A Red Apron Interpretation

    She has been placed in the foreground and is more detailed than the background. In the middle ground there are trees and in the background a small town can be seen. There is the illusion that the child is in a room and looking out at the snowy town. There is the illusion that there is a window between the outside and the central figure. In the painting the girl is painted in the center to highlight that she is the main focus. She also encompasses most of the canvas. Berthe Morisot painted the girl as the largest figure to show she was the central focus. There is illusion of space, if this painting was bigger it would be like the viewer was standing behind the girl watching her look outside at the snowy landscape. The viewer would feel like they are in a room that is not completely shown in the

    The painting has realistic 3 dimensional space by the use of linear perspective and chiaroscuro. It also looks to be 2 dimensional as well, because it almost looks like some influence on the Japanese print, like flat patches of paint. The lines converge from the edges of the paint to the center letting off the effect of a background and a foreground. It looks as though the trash is in the foreground and the man is in the background. In the back of the painting, it is darker which also adds to the effect of the 3 dimensional space.

  • Essay About Basquiat

    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

    Another painting by Kiefer is Deutschlands Geistesbelden or in English Germany’s Spiritual Heroes. He uses bi-lateral symmetry. Each side of the hallway has the same amount of support beams and a large dish filled with some type of kerosene or oil that is burning on each beam. Under each candle there is a name written in black paint, and maybe these are the German Spiritual Heroes. The flaming dishes run all the way down the hallway and it leads to a door. The door that the hallway leads to is the center of the painting.

Exploring the detail in the picture you can see that Goya’s utilized his technique to created a contrast of shades between light and dark that truly encapsulate the strong emotional intensity of the horrifying scenes, demonstating powerful elements with imagery .

    This painting by Vincent Van Gogh is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago Museum, in the Impressionism exhibit. There are many things going on in this painting that catch the viewer’s eye. The first is the piece’s vibrant colors, light blues and browns, bright greens, and more. The brush strokes that are very visible and can easily be identified as very thick some might even say bold. The furniture, the objects, and the setting are easy to identify and are proportioned to each other. There is so much to see in this piece to attempt to explain in only a few simple sentences.

  • Analysis Of Le Dejeuner Des Canotier

    This painting is more realistic because of the way he painted the character and the scenery in this specific piece. I feel that there is no colour domination in the painting besides the fact that there are no modern colours for example like bright pink, neon green etc, because around that time they used more dull colours. What i really like about this painting that its very natural and easy to visualise because there are no patterns you need to follow or shapes that are put together to form this brilliant peace of work. I would say this piece has a variety of different texture from this big brush strokes to some fine detailing on the ares that stand out, for example i like how he blurs out the dog and how makes the arm of the man on the bottom part of the picture stand out that really makes the work different rather than it being all very clear or all very blurry. This painting was an oil canvas painting and its dimensions are 129.9 cm × 172.7 cm (51 in × 68 in). The work that is present is very detailed and was done over a long period of time i feel my work is a bit rushed and lacks a lot of precision .The figures and bottles add shape to the canvas and the overlapping of bodies gives a sense of space. Movement is achieved through the gesture and expression of the cast

  • Analysis Of Three Musician By Pablo Picasso

    1085 Words  | 3 Pages

    When Artist sit down to make painting they do not just do it for no reason. They had a focus and a purpose in creating a certain paintings. They know who the audience of their paintings is. This will help give them a clear idea of what to paint. Each painting help capture a moment in one’s life and what they had gone through. A painting can have multiple meanings because people have different perspectives and come from different background. The painting that I choose is called Three Musician. It was painted by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in 1921 in Fontainebleau near Paris, France. Picasso painted this portrait by using boxlike room, abstract shapes in a shallow, and brightly colored. Picasso used these strategies to help the painting stand out and catch his audiences’ attention of how people work together to be successful musicians and how music can bring intercultural together.

    There are many visual elements that help to balance the composition. The woman on the left and her mirrored image on the right gives the painting a symmetrical balance. The composition seems to be divided by the left mirror post that goes down vertically. The symmetry is what made me attentive to the fact that the reflection of the girl’s face is not the same as her face on the left side of the painting. The girl’s gesture as she reaches out to the edges of the mirror links the girl and her reflection. Picasso put emphasis on this by using the red stripes beginning at the girl’s chest extending all the way to the ends of her fingertips. I kept looking back and forth from one side of the painting to the other side because of just that one little aspect. The red stripes help to create unity and rhythm within the painting making it whole and balanced. The organic curves as well as the repeating circles also bring unity to the composition.

  • The Painting

    To me the painting is a way of showing you what everyone else is seeing. That the painter had the men looking right at each other so they can see themselves running away. In turn I got to see myself doing the same thing and was able to change because of it. When other people look at the painting they probably see something else. That is why I choose to do the painting, it gives you the choice too interpret it any way you see fit. Or it can just be a beautiful painting to look at, but the painting was so much more to me. It painted a thousand words for me.
