April Coppini is a modern artist who gathers inspiration from her natural surroundings. Coppini’s work exhibits a strong attention to detail, while still incorporating a sense of movement and expressiveness. I chose her as my inspiration because of what her bee drawings and some of my bird drawings have in common. They both have similar subject matters and a striking sense of movement. I aspire to show similar detail, movement, and techniques in my work. Coppini’s work shows lots of movement and expressive mark making. The line quality and techniques displayed in her drawings are exquisite. Black charcoal is her medium of choice, and she uses this material in a mix of subtractive and additive methods. Her work shows action and energy, while

The asymmetry of the arrangement creates the sense of imbalance. Lam uses basic lines and shapes in the composition. Nevertheless, the painter creates wonderful light movement inside the figure with wavy shapes, which directs viewer’s eye from the top to the

Louise Bourgeois and Constantine Brancusi were both two artists that had very abstract pieces of art. Though the two artists had very different pieces of work they also shared a lot in common. Bourgeois and Constantine both had very visually dramatic styles of art that focused on sexuality and reproduction in forms of the human body. In this paper I will be talking about both artists backgrounds and works as well as what they share in similiarity and the underlying message of their work.

The use of lines shows clothing on the Peplos Kore by allowing the viewer to differentiate between the different layers on the sculpture. The lines show the type of clothing draped on the sculpture and the type of clothing on the Peplos Kore allows historians to identify who the sculpture represents.

The use of marble also allowed the difficulty of completing the artwork to decrease due to marble having a softer quality to it when newly

Skoglund uses painting, sculpture, and photography to create her artwork. Due to the fact that most of her photographs are created in similar ways, almost all of her photographs have similar components represented throughout the photographs. Differences can be found in her artwork as well. Skoglund’s Revenge of The Goldfish, 1981 (Figure 1), is a popular work of art that is represented at the Akron Art Museum

This painting has deviated from the standard Renaissance model in that it goes beyond depicting subjects and scene, and employs exaggerated form, color emphasis, abnormal planar depiction, and visual directionality.

The artist has used various techniques of color, line, and juxtaposition in order to portray an idea which supersedes the sum of its parts, and thereby leads the viewer through a thought.

Another view by Kathleen Grace, who for 30 years an artist, art consultant and instructor, make the following statement:
“ The paintings of Filippo Lippi are frequently characterized by two features: an interest in minimizing the divide between world, image and the presence of humor, both bodily and representational. Although these two aspects of Lippi's art might initially seem unconnected, this paper suggests that both can be associated with the use of scientific perspective.
