    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting.

    A brief history of how China came into the rule of the Kuomintang, and the rising of the Communist Party of China, is needed in order to understand the event of the Northern Expedition/KMT-CPC split.

Beginning with the outbreak of revolution on October 10, 1911, also known as the Wuchang Uprising against the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of the Republic of China was developed (Payne 61). Marked by civil unrest and foreign invasion, the Qing Dynasty saw its last days of rule, and the formation of the Republic of China ended over two thousand years of Imperial rule. After about year, Sun Yat-sen became China’s Provisional President, also marking the official establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912 (Fenby 31). Eight months after, in August 1912, the Kuomintang was founded and became China’s Nationalist party (Wertz). Many years later, the KMT would come under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek.…

    He was experimental in that he used many different styles and techniques in his works. The last supper he established a balance between intense human emotion and symbolic importance of Jesus. It represented his soon to be death and the institution of the rituals of the Mass. He was experiemtnal in the fact that he had the skill of great proportions through his use of geometry.. Leonardo’s creation of the Vitruvian man is a great example as all of his legs are in perfect proportion. He also did something very different which was the painting of Mona Lisa, a woman without any jewelry or wedding ring, yet looking elegant and peaceful. Leonardo’s fame as an artist based on only a few pieces of art. What made him take the most chances was that he was less concerned with literature and strict traditions in art.
