  • Art Analysis Of Corrinne Terrace By Ian Strange

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    The house is surrounded by green grass which makes the image more realistic and the trees in the background and the tree in the foreground create a sense of depth. The image is quite well spaced out, due to a vast amount of area situated between objects. There is a visual equality in the symmetrical image. There is a contrast between the colours of the image to draw attention to the house. The image looks to be taken in the dusk of the afternoon, where there is not much natural light, which creates a darker tone. The main emphasis of the image is the house, which seems to be quite different when the image is first seen by a viewer. The texture helps emphasize the main focal point seeing though it is quite smooth, the colour also creates a mood towards the image and atmosphere in the image. The line helps develop structure due to the tone being a medium darkness. In some places (the area surrounding the house) is a degree lighter and shadows are present to help form the line throughout this part of the

    The black background contrast with the predominate colors of blue and red gives these colors intensity. The red and green are complementary colors that give the painting visual appeal. The green juxtapose above the blue and red gives the artwork color balance as well as implies a triangular shape. The triangular shape and pattern is repeated throughout the painting by; the bend of the flute player's elbow, the head and shoulders of the guitar player, the head and shoulders of the lady whose back is to the viewer, the body of the guitars and the location of the three right-most musicians

    The painting has an order and there are different shapes and angles. Rectangular shape is main trend around this piece, including the wooden chest, the leg rest and the canvass. Also things overlap, creating the illusion of the shape look closer to viewer than the shape behind it. The example in this piece would be the chair on which Adelaide Labille Guiard sits be close to viewer than the girls behind it. This adds depth to the space.

  • Art Analysis: Faith Ringgold's Art

    1134 Words  | 3 Pages

    The dominant line in this piece of art would have to be a straight line. To be precise, the vertical straight line is a vivid piece to this art. Within the art, you can also see shapes such as squares and rectangles. These four sided shapes are found in many different aspects of the artwork. For example, the buildings in the background are rectangles, and the border is full of rectangles and squares. The form of this art is clearly 2D, considering it is on canvas. Although, Ringgold did an amazing job at portraying a sense of 3D degression. The texture of this art is considered to be rough and clothlike. This is due to the fact that “Ringgold’s vehicle is the story quilt” within this work of art. (Spector, Nancy.) The space of this art could be described as busy. There is something new in each square of the quilt. There is also a large value change if you compare the inner middle of the artwork to the surrounding edges of it. The core of this piece of art is dark while the outside is light. The type of balance would be considered asymmetrical. There is also not a distinct pattern in this piece. Another detail to this artwork is that everything is in proportion. The only rhythm and movement found is the young girl in the sky looks as if she is flying. A strong contrast found is, again, the bright floral border compared to the dark picture inside. The pieces of this piece are bold and do not work together because they highly

  • Analysis Of The Movie Bullitt

    752 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lines are the foundation of art; such as paintings, pictures, movies, cartoons, or T.V. shows. They create shapes and define the piece. “Bullitt in Pursuit” is no exception to this statement. In “Bullitt in Pursuit” all sorts of lines, whether they are curved, or straight create all sorts of things such as: the cars, the buildings, and the scenery. Lines also convey the sensation of speed by making everything blurry as if the entire painting is flying by at 100 mph. Without lines, the painting would appear virtually a blank canvas without any definition of the scene being depicted. Although a blank canvas could be considered art it would not be appealing to view. Although, everyone’s different and everyone has their own opinion on what they like to view. Colors add a depth to art that takes the visual appeal to a whole other level and enhance the effect of

  • Walter Oltmann Drawing

    1353 Words  | 3 Pages

    Walter Oltmann’s aluminum wire drawings Mother and Child has been created using the technique of hand crocheting the wire to create lace-like, delicate marks that are layered to create tonal variety and form. (Goodman Gallery, 2012, http://www.goodman-gallery.com/artists/walteroltmann) In the case of this drawing, this technique has been used to create a large-scale image of mother and child skeleton figures nestled in a harmonious and balanced, floating halo-like bed of interconnected lace. Although the crocheting of the wire has resulted in a shallowly three-dimensional image, when considered in relation to the The Oxford Dictionary’s definition of drawing , Mother and Child can be seen to fall under it. The composition has been created by assembling a series of “marking lines and marks,” using wire to create tonal variety and forms, a...

    The lines in the painting seem painterly, meaning I couldn’t find any distinct borders to them. It seems most apparent in the yellow line on the middle right side of the painting and the two blues lines near the top left corner. I believe he used this form because it is fairly common in Abstract Expressionism (Dempsey) to use line this way. I feel he is also trying to convey a mood by using this form of line because it adds a certain softness to the atmosphere surrounding it.

  • An Inside Look at Potatoes

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    What is so extraordinary about a potato? Potatoes became a beneficial source of nutrients around the world. Potatoes originated in South America and were given to the European travelers who took them back to their lands and began to plant them. From the beginning of the first migration which dates back to 8,000 BCE, there have been potatoes. I chose to do potatoes as a topic because I like eating potatoes and wanted to know a little more about them. I never expected to find out so much information about a vegetable that I thought to be very basic. Potatoes are a very fascinating topic. Over time the potato has become popular because it has good nutrition, it can be cooked many ways and it has been positively and negatively changed by genetic modification.
