Series 1:
Photograph 1: This photograph shows the impact of the storm in South in Australia and how it affected the River Torrens. The colours are dull, with a small amount of green to represent the grass. The dullness gives a sad feeling and shows the terrible outcome caused by the storm.
Photograph 2: This photograph shows a close up of a tree branch covered in tiny parts of other tree branches. The branch does not have any leaves and is lacking colour. Although rivers are usually a blue colour, the River Torrens, which is a murky brown colour in the photograph, can be seen in the background.
Photograph 3: This photograph displays bird feathers lying on the ground along with sticks and leaves. The bird feathers represent the animals that

Overall impression of the first series of photographs:
This series of photographs together show the impact caused by the Adelaide storm in the River Torrens. The five photographs feature brown as the main colour. The photos are quite dull and show a depressing view of the River Torrens. The photos show how polluted and dirty the river has become. It also shows the effects the storm had on the nature and wildlife, with dry, brown leaves covering the rail and bird leaves lying on the ground. This set of photographs could be used in a newspaper article about the Adelaide storms and its effects.

...clouds above refer to traditional Japanese screen paintings and provide a softening side to the water. They create a balance symbolising hope and good luck. Four wind symbols are used as a devise to balance the composition – all are blowing air gently into the picture. The cartoon like face with its puffed out, red cheeks expelling air. All suggest a positive, natural energy.
Claude-Joseph Vernet’s oil on canvas painting titled Mountain Landscape with an Approaching Storm was created in 1775, and it is currently located in the European Art Galleries (18th- 19th Century North) 2nd Floor at the Dallas Museum of Art. It is a large-scale painting with overall dimensions of 64 1/2 x 103 1/4 in. (1 m 63.83 cm x 2 m 62.26 cm) and frame dimensions of 76 1/8 x 115 1/4 x 4 3/4 in. (1 m 93.36 cm x 2 m 92.74 cm x 12.07 cm). Vernet creates this piece by painting elements from nature and using organic shapes in order to create atmospheric effects, weather and different moods. This piece primarily depicts a landscape with a rocky mountainous terrain and villagers scrambling to an upcoming storm.
Antonio prefers the river for company rather than any other place in town; therefore, he was devastated when a misfortunate event tarnished his memory of this beloved landmark. “How would I ever wash away the stain of blood from the sweet waters of my river!” (23). Antonio has established an ardent relationship with the river, yet the tragedy of Lupito’s death ruins the serenity that accompanies his memory of that breathtaking location. The series of events that play out all take place at or around the river, which proves symbolic of the correlation that the people have with that area. Not only does it often stand as the setting of many occasions, the river also is a recurring figure in Antonio’s dreams. “...that the sweet water of the moon which falls as rain is the same water that gathers into rivers and flows to fill the seas.”(121). The river in Antonio’s dream denotes the connection between his two completely opposite families all intercorrelated by Earth. Through the river, there is a unique peace and unity, similar to Antonio bringing his own uniqueness as he upholds and represents his two families. From a feeling of oneness to placidity, the river represents a variety of themes that prove significant in Antonio’s paramount transition from a child to an adult, many of which help the reader understand the crucial role
In terms of colours, the white colour dominates in this painting. It signifies purity, freedom and change. In the past the rulers have dominated over the people but now the prevailing power is in the hands of the peasants. The large green leaves, echoing the horse`s mane in the painting symbolise the revival of the human mind and notify of the arriving change in people`s lives.
The colors used in this painting are blue, white, yellow, brown, black, green, light blue. The colors Birch used seem dark in order to relate to the storm. By making it seem dark it really captures the mood of the composition. In general the quality of light in this painting is low.

Blue is used to represent the water as well as the sky and both similar and range in different tones. All of the colors in this piece are washed out but still have a bright quality to them. The colors aren’t brightly pigmented however; Hiroshige does a satisfying job of drawing in the viewer with the color choices used and the little details. The sun in the sky is simply the white of the paper and almost looks as if the color burns through. Pops of red, show in blocks on the right side of the work wit Japanese writing inside each one, which contrasts with the large amounts of blue and helps the writing stand out.
Twain's detailed images of the "gold," (1) "tinted... opal," (1) and "silver" (1) river, paint the beauty he finds in the surroundings. The "graceful curves, reflected images, woody heights, soft distances; and... marvels of coloring" (1) depict the opinion Twain has of the river. This beauty has been learned and appreciated through the years of living along the river and is revealed through his images.
Color is used to draw attention to important characters and objects in the painting. The red of Mary’s shirt emphasizes her place as the main figure. A bright, yellow cloud floating above the room symbolizes the joy of the angelic figures. De Zurbaran uses warm colors in the foreground. The room, used as the background for the scene, is painted in dark colors utilizing different hues of gray and brown.
Throughout this painting, Chagall paints with primary and secondary colors. Most of the colors used are around or on Icarus, the focal point, to draw the most attention to him. The primary colors that Chagall uses are blue, red, and yellow. Chagall uses blue on and around Icarus’s wings, people, and houses. The blue on Icarus’s wings, the people, and the houses are a shade because the color was mixed with black to make the color darker. Red was used more often than any other colors. The color red was painted in the streets and painted on the figures in the streets. The streets are intensified because the saturation of the color red is so high. With the red color filling the streets, I feel like Chagall is trying to convey the danger that the people are in since Icarus is right above them falling towards his doom. The color yellow is also surrounding Icarus. The color yellow surrounding Icarus is a tint because the color was mixed with white to make the yellow lighter than the rest of the primary colors on Icarus. Since the yellow is so light, Chagall creates more variety on Icarus. The secondary color that Chagall uses is green. The color green is used for the animals and grass. The green on the animals and grass is a tint because the color is lighter than the rest of the colors. But, one particular donkey in the street, the color green is a shade because the
From the piece of artwork “Rain at the Auvers”. I can see roofs of houses that are tucked into a valley, trees hiding the town, black birds, clouds upon the horizon, hills, vegetation, a dark stormy sky and rain.
John Sloan’s painting depicts a dismal view of municipal life. The painting’s gloominess is achieved most effectively through Sloan’s use of color. He uses deep shades of purple with the contrasting color green in the background. This color scheme provides an eerie fog throughout the painting.
Although there are no specific patterns, the image produces the feeling of a pleasant day by associating the earthy tones with a blue sky and green grass. As one digs below the surface, the underlying message can be deducted to the fact that horrible events can happen on a seemingly perfect day. BMW continues to see out that they show their buyers and other motorists the extent of their care for people who drive
...f the shadows is sprinkled with the orange of the ground, and the blue-violet of the mountains is both mixed with and adjacent to the yellow of the sky. The brushstrokes that carry this out are inspired by the Impressionists, but are more abundant and blunter than those an Impressionist would use.
When I first looked at the picture, it looked like there were only two colors green and blue. When I got closer to the picture I noticed there were many other colors used. I loved the way the colors were mixed into each other where you have to really look at the picture to see the colors. The other colors, other then green and blue, were pink, white, orange, red, and yellow. There were also different shades of green and blue. There was only one solid color in the picture; it was black.
