Xul Solar
Xul Solar’s tribute was easily the best. Not because it was my project, but because it had all the requirements that were needed. It was very hard to choose one piece. It was ours and the phoenix. The phoenix was the best work, but I picking my own because it would be easier. We made our piece of art from two pieces of work of his called Barrio and I couldn’t find the other pictures name. This was the most effective at giving a tribute to an artist.
The painting has a ton of bright colors which means keep a bright outlook on life. The sky and the ground are dark meaning a dark world. Then some of the buildings have their lights on meaning a light in a dark world which gives a bright outlook. During our presentation, someone

The lines that they used were impressive to say the least. The shapes we quite impressive as well. I was able to see some type of shading for shadows. I could that some shapes were supposed to be farther away than others. Their work wasn’t as good as Xul Solar himself but it was very good and impressive.
The only problem I have with their painting is that the black, which is supposed to be the ground, was very poorly colored. They could’ve been running out of time but it was a poor job. The roads were straight and it looked like they didn’t go off into the distance there was two or three roads that did but besides those two or three there wasn’t any that looked like it. I did see the direction of the buildings and the roads a little off in a couple of places, but overall I thought it was one of the better projects besides of course, the phoenix.
I feel like this painting could be one I could see in person in the next week. It is very practical and relates to a lot of people in different and sometimes the same ways. This relates to me because one time my friends and I were walking to my grandma’s house and all her neighbors were mean and none of their lights were on. My grandma is a very kind and welcoming person. Her house was the only one on her street to have z light on inside and out. It just remained of this
Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to
Why I picked this picture? Simply because I appreciate Prevalence of Ritual: Tidings by: Romare Bearden. Just from knowing about his work from previous art classes he based his art work on real life situations. In most times it was things he actually went through in his own life as young boy. His art work just isn’t any piece of work it has value. To me every inch of this picture has its own
The painting caught my attention due to the message I received when I first laid eyes upon it. It illustrates a wise old man teaching an eager to learn young boy. I have been fortunate enough to have my very own replica of this painting in my bedroom and I have spent countless hours
Canal is heavy on the use of values. The piece of art work has heavy contrasts and deep shadows. This can be seen with the building on the right’s corridor. In the middle left he uses high light to show the sun light in the horizon. On the right bottom in the building’s outer corridor Canal uses cast shadow and core shadow. The shadows of the individuals walking are consistent in not only in direction, but in length. Canal used planes to divide the surroundings with the building and lines to divide the building to the sky. He also uses lines to create movement and direction as you can see the citizens heading toward the middle of the art work. The “View of the Molo” also gives the building a sense of texture on the surface. The building does not look flat. The windows protrude a bit. One can see depth on the window sills and the bottom corridors. Canal uses one-line perspective and the vanishing point is the building in the bottom middle. Canal’s use of color is minimal. The colors are not vibrant at the same time not dull. The art work uses colors minimally. The temperature of Canal’s art work is
This particular painting is classified as a piece from the Impressionism era and was in the Impressionism section of the St. Louis Art Museum. The painting showed an up close view of a boy whose face could be seen. It looked as if he could have been walking right out of the painting. It looks to me as if his hands are behind is back in a cutesy way. He might be hoping or wishing for something. There was also a woman whose back was turned towards the audience. She was carrying an umbrella to block her from the sun maybe. Or there might even be rain coming as depicted by the gray sky above. There is also a bridge behind them. There seems to be some type of atmospheric perspective in this painting.
Imagery of light is used in Fisher’s collection of poems to symbolize positive facets of a life lived in poverty. People living in poverty are not given all the basic necessities required to live comfortably. Many impoverished persons are malnourished due to lack of resources such as sufficient food or appropriate clothing. The lack of living essentials and the inability to afford everything that they desire provides people living in poverty with a greater appreciation for small acts of kindness. Many of the poems in Fishers collection show aspects of the poor being grateful for the little things in life. One of the poems shows a little girl being extremely appreciative of something every...
The painting is a large painting it is almost five feet tall and four feet wide. It is an oil painting on traditional canvass. The color choice is very dark and gloomy. It serves the purpose of putting the viewer in a somber mood. From the first glance you can tell that this is a sad setting. To some viewers Ida might bring a feeling of disgust, however, after closer inspection of the painting, the inner beauty seeps out. The black backdrop works to bring Ida out to the viewer. The fact that Albright was able to take a young and pretty model, transform her into an almost “Walking Dead” type creation from his own mind, shows that Albright had a very creative mind. The patterns of the carpet, along with a tear in the fabric beneath the chair she sits on give the carpet a life of its own, distinct, yet worn from time and abuse, much like Ida herself. The texture of the vanity behind her is duller. He gives no real definition to the outline of the lower drawers, there was nothing in there of any significance, but it works as a great background for Ida's leg.
In conclusion, having been to and admired both of these works of art, I can only stress my appreciation and awe of Egyptian architecture. The beauty and perfection marked with a dot of simplicity is breath-taking. I can only hope to visit these majestic building again losing myself in Egyptian culture.
In conclusion, Kinkade’s painting Light of Hope is a beautiful piece of artwork. It clearly shows a balance of colors and a pattern that leads the viewer’s eyes to the focal point of the piece that is the light house. The point Kinkade was making is that as the lighthouse is the focal point of the painting, God should be the focal point of our lives. This painting is a great example of how God bestows gifts on people and these gifts can grow into talents such as those if Kinkade’s, which leads to more glory being shown to God.
Somehow I related to this painting at the moment. Looking back in the distance in the sky you see that there was a turbulent time. Saturday was such an awful morning. When backing up you see the bottom of the picture. The lush lively flowers show the bright side happy ending. This was my reminder that there is a calm after the storm just like in the picture.
images in this painting, all of which have the power to symbolize to us, the viewer, of the painter’s
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.
As I read this work of art, my mind was transported to my favorite place in the outdoors. My imagination was filled with the waving of the tall grass, the stillness of the trees, and the feeling that time is standing still and I’m the only one who notices. For example, it sparked the idea, or memory, of how much I love nature and the outdoors, and the great sense of peace it brings to me. In an instant, it showed me how far I had drifted from that mindset.
In 1910, Arthur Eddington, a British Astrophysicist, discovered solar winds. Solar winds are basically a continuous flow (they are never ending basically) of particles from the sun. They are also known as stellar winds. Their usual way out of the sun is the coronal holes. Their main cause is an expansion of gases in the corona, which is the outer layer of the sun. The idea that the corona is plasma was thought of by Richard C. Carrington. The temperature of the corona is 2,200,000 degrees Celsius. It is so hot that not even the sun’s gravity can contain it. It heats gases and makes them expand. The gas items run into each other as they are heated. As a result, they lose their electrons. Then, the atoms become ions with a positive charge, the electrons and ions (which are mostly Hydrogen ions) make up the solar wind. The velocity of solar winds goes from 250 to 1000 kilometers every second. It has a density of 82 ions for every cubic inch, or 5 ions per cubic centimeter. Solar winds are the cause of many occurrences in the solar system like Mercury having no atmosphere, and Venus’ acidic, radiation filled clouds. They are also known as electrically charged hurricanes.
"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.
