Daniel Burns Reaction
Reaction Paper

On November 5th in Sloan Hall, Daniel Burns showed off his work and talents! Many of Burns works are filled with energy and expression. The energy of the paintings can be easily seen by the way Burn's uses warm and cold colors. Expressionism, on the other hand, is a little more difficult to figure out with in each painting. Burns makes many different expressions with in his paintings! For some reason it was hard for me to get a clear expression on what exactly Burns was trying to express within his paintings. Maybe it was the way he used his colors or how he put different objects such as birdhouses, birds, or bowls in his paintings! For Example, in Those Left Behind I would have never got Burns expression if my class

    Ken's work is similar to Pablo Picasso's. They both did a number of works that used large dark brush strokes to outline the shape of what they were trying to paint. Ken's work often consisted of clean lines on his platters and abstract formations of ancient ideas. His pieces are modern, but at the same time they look as if they just got dug up from an ancient dig site. Ken's teapots are abstract, often sitting on three tall legs. Most of his platters are salt fired, giving them an off white color, on these platters, he paints classical scenes or ancient themed works, but puts his twist to them by painting the images with a pointy brush using a dark color he creates smooth strokes to form his ideas. Picasso worked frequently with paints and inks on a canvas. Ferguson works primarily with ceramics.…

    Like Tanner, Wiley seems to paint real people whereas Lawrence’s creations seem more cartoonlike. Wiley and Lawrence are similar in that neither of them have scenic portraits; Tanner creates landscape too. Wiley’s paintings portray men in a stance that shows strength, courage, and demands respect and honor. Wiley draws attention to the individual by placing him in the center and enhancing the background with a design that is “popping” to the eye. Wiley, Lawrence, and Tanner all create art about African American…

    The paintings “The Lifeline” by Winslow Homer and “Prairie on Fire” by Charles Deas are two paintings that really struck out to me as similar. I think Homer’s painting, “The Lifeline”, is a very dramatic painting because of how the lady is just laying there passed out while this brave man is swinging across dangerous waves and rocks to get them to safety. Its very different from looking at in class because you can actually see the texture and brush strokes the artist used. When standing in front of a painting, it almost feels like your there watching this happen. You can see all the different details from the small brush strokes to the large ones, and the effect of light almost makes them look like they are glistening. I selected Charles Deas painting to compare to Homer’s painting because in both paintings a woman is passed out and is…

    When taking a trip to the Norton Museum of Art I chose a one dimensioned painting called Adam that was located on the first floor. The artist is Nicholas Carone and was painted in 1956. To the left of the painting, Adam, was another painting named Personage which was painted by Robert Mothewell in 1943. Personage is an abstract oil painting on canvas with multiple different colors. To the right of Adam was a sculpture called Sea Quarry and was created by Theodore Roszak. The sculpture was not an obvious choice that it was a sea animal at first. I had to stand there for a minute and really look at the sculpture to being to see what it was really intended for the sculpture to be. Returning to my original choice, Adam by Nicholas Carone, it is also an oil painting done on canvas. Carone first started with a plane black picture and continued to manipulate it with white paint color and other lines using different thick and thin brushes. The picture was made to represent and recreate light and shadow but is opaque. It uses several different elements of art including color, value, line, shape, and space. “Adam”s composition is curved lines and is known as an Abstract Expressionism type of art.…

    Throughout the poem Richard wright the author uses imagery personification and symbolism to help the reader feel exactly how he felt a descriptive way. “One morning while in the woods I stumbled suddenly upon the thing’ you can see the speaker stumbles over the body and there is disbelief of his view. I am aware that the body he was stumbling over was the body of a African American who was lynched maybe the night before .I could tell by the way the speaker spoke about it that he was affected by it .I noticed that he used imagery to communicate his attitude toward the things he saw in the woods. For example when he is referring to the torn tree it basically says Richard was torn inside .He uses personification so readers can feel the emotion…

    “When the artist is alive in any person... he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for better understanding and seeing.” Robert Henri, an American painter and teacher, expresses this statement in his book, ‘The Art Spirit’ (1939). He provides us with a subjective context that requires thoughtful reflection. In his statement, the person does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist; they look beyond this simplicity and embrace the creature inside by becoming inventive, searching, daring and self-expressing in the way they use media. Viewers are lured towards their works and their attention is captured. Gordon Bennett, an Australian Aboriginal artist, demonstrates this theory through his work. Possession Island (Appendix 1), 1991 and Notes to Basquiat (Jackson Pollock and his Other) (Appendix 2), 2001, will be discussed in relation to Henri’s statement.…

    Over the past semester, I can strongly say that I have grown immensely as an artist. I have been able to widen my range of skills as well as increase them overall. One of my best works, as well as one of my favorites is my Expressionist painting. Ih results in a nspired by one of my best friends, Eleanor, my painting displays a variety of Expressionist principles. Expressionism is based on the distortion of form and color, which often results in a wide array of expressed emotions. By creating colors that blended well and by using smooth brush strokes, I am able to create unity within my painting, which in my opinion makes it one of my successful works. Coming from a person who normally avoids painting and also…

    In this life, there are many forms of art or art “movements” to speak of. How we interpret art is a very subjective thing. What a person sees and feels when looking at art greatly depends on their upbringing, their values, and even their mood at the time of viewing. Could something dark and lacking color be art? What about a comic strip in the newspaper or the billboard down the street? Again, interpretation and taste in art is individual. I elected to explore into the two art movements I like the least to potentially better understand them, and to potentially link them together.…

    This past Thursday we went to the Columbus Museum and listened to a lecture over the preservation and restoration of vast amounts of woodlands by controlled burning of the land. At first I didn’t know that this was an actual way to restore woodland back to a controlled state, but as I listened to the speaker throughout his presentation it was becoming clearer that this is also the most effective ways. The two main points I learned were that there are intentional controlled burns and that it is actually good for the environment an ecosystem surrounding the area.…

    Chagall later delved into the styles of Cubism and Expressionism. Cubism is the style in art in which perspective with a single viewpoint was abandoned and use was made of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and later a collage. Another style he helped to create is Expressionism and Expressionism is the style of painting in which the artist seeks to express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world. Stained glass windows, murals, tapestries, and Ceramics and Sculpture were all other forms of artwork in which…

    “… the expressionist film is primarily a visual phenomenon, a mise-en-scene of fear and desire. Internal conflicts and ambivalences are projected on to an external world that has become foreign and strange, a process that finds expression in the destabilization of the subject at the center of the narrative…”…

    Expressionism can be described as a movement in the fine arts that emphasized the expression of inner experience rather than realistic portrayal, looking to obtain not objective reality, but the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in the artist. Several characteristics of expressionism are distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy. “The Green Table,” a ballet by Kurt Jooss, 1932, is an ideal example of expressionism because it depicts the choreographer’s personal interpretation of war through the use of movement, music by Fritz Cohen and lighting by Hermann Mankard.…
