Jen Stark
Jen Stark is an artist that is consists of paper sculptures, she was born in 1983 in Miami, Florida. Jen studied at (MICA) Maryland Institute College of Art. What influences her is all sorts of things including microscopic patterns in nature, wormholes and sliced anatomy.

The theme of Jen Starks work is purely based on creating creative paper sculptures. Its based on replication and infinity, echoing patterns and intelligent individual designs that are found in the beautiful world of nature. Since she has been expanding her work from paper she took it up a level by even including wood and mirrors in her mind blowing work. Her exquisite sculptures and drawings has enjoyed renaissance of context.
The one of the materials that artist used was different coloured paper, I think it works well with this piece of work just as it does with others because Jen Stark is an artist that loves to explore complexity and uses the vibrant colours to help it have that special effect. Also the different colours give it a reflection of her theme of nature and also resembles her theme that she looks upon in creating her work by using different colours that could even have a meaning or resembles something towards nature that each colour has.
Features of Jen Starks work
The colour she has used in this piece of work are very bright, vibrant and attractive, she might of used these colours because she says `Vibrant Art is like a breath of fresh air`, the bright colours resembles to her motive and also makes it much more attractive. The line she uses are smooth and pointy, she might of used this because she might be making a 3-d piece of work and might want to give the work a rough feeling by the lines being smooth and pointy. The texture in this piece of work is rough by the shapes created and the lines are smooth but also pointy that gives it a rough feeling and Jen Stark could of made this by making several triangles all the same size and kept sticking them together

    Action lies in the relationship between the artist’s choice of colours, space, and lines. He uses vibrant and rich colours to grab the observer’s attention and to create visual interest. Carmichael made excellent use of space by organizing the composition of the landscape. A foreground, middle ground, and background created depth in his work. Line is a vital aspect of movement and dynamic activity in the painting and was demonstrated through the varying lengths of bold, horizontal brush strokes. Collectively, all these formal elements, the use of contrasting temperatures of colour, thick lines, and solid forms all encapsulate the work’s energetic…

    Also, if you look very closely at the painting, you can see some brush strokes that the painter made. I like that because the viewer can see how thick the paint is and how you move onto the canvas. Lastly, I like how there is light around the top of the painting. I love how the artist used different colors and shades. This art piece goes very well in my family's dining room, in my opinion.…

    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…

    In the background are the pitch black perennial Mountains and a pearl colored half moon. Like the piece Music Pink and Blue it is a oil painting however her earlier painting consists of pastel colors that blend into each other, rather than the dark separated colors found in Ladder to the Moon. This painting was very similar to a picture taken of O'Keeffe and her surroundings at Ghost Ranch so, she was inspired by an image unlike a feeling in wich she used to create many art pieces in her early years as an artist. This painting also symbolizes something and carries a message to its viewer rather than a strong…

    Howard works in very thick layers. She separates colours and leaves crisp definition between each stroke. Here it seems as though she has used a tool such as a knife or card, and has dragged the paint across the page. She has also picked out undertones such as purples, greens and oranges and has intensified these colours and made them really stand out. She manages to do this without overpowering the reflections and water like look.…

    The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…

It is being held at the StFX Art Gallery and can be found on the first floor of Bloomfield Centre located on campus. My first reaction to this show was my immediate response to all the range of colours. This show is very vibrant with many pieces to admire. Kate Georgallis is displaying thirty of her finest works, all of various sizes and mediums, including paint, etching, stain glass and embroidery. Her work, like the materials she uses, is of a vast range of colour. Many of her art works are of large landscapes playing with the use of colour and shadow.…

    The sculptors who created Blue Woman in Black Chair and Untitled (Large Man) used many aspects to give life and meaning to their creations. Lines are used distinctly in both sculptures. The artists take advantage of space when creating their pieces along with a little naturalism. One sculptor uses color on his figure. Their technique, although different, brings individuality and texture to their works.…

    The elements of art used in this work balance out the work as a whole. The components such as the canyons, the sky, and the river belong to one another. These natural elements embody nature that form a harmonious whole. The colors used blend together to create a smooth, even layer of color. The earthy tones used are true to life and represent nature. The painting shows a contrast of light and dark colors on the sides of the canyons. The colors start out light and go dark towards the bottom of the canyon. The variety of lines in the work show height and width. The horizontal lines give a feeling of peace and a sense of space. The lines depict sections of the landscape, which recede into space. The vertical lines create a sense of height. The lines vary in width and length leading the eye around towards the top of the canyons. The thin and light brushstrokes…

    Jody Starks - Jody's character is opposite that of Tea Cake. He is cruel, conceited, and uninterested in Janie as a person. But his cruelty is not a result of any specific animosity toward Janie; rather, it is a reflection of the values that he holds and the way that he understands his relationship to the world. Jody depends on the exertion of power for his sense of himself; he is only happy and secure when he feels that he holds power over those around him. In Janie's words, he needs to "have [his] way all [his] life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let [him]self heah 'bout it." He needs to feel like a "big voice," a force of "irresistible maleness" before whom the whole world bows.…

    This one seems to fit in with the other art creations at the Jen library though, because around it the other works of art are almost the same in size, this helps give you an idea at how very large this other piece is. Unlike the first piece, this one has a wood base that is left unpainted or stained. Then close to the bottom left corner it has wood planks with white plaster on them all laid pointing outwards from a circle in the center, it reminds one very much of a giant daisy without a yellow center, unlike the top one you get a happy feeling because of this bright beautiful flower. The planks however are torn at the end, and this beautiful daisy starts to look more battered and worn down, it’s kind of sad. Placed above the hole where the yellow pollen of a flower should lay is three rows of five blocks. All of the blocks are made of foam and painted a bright pink, and they are all lined up in straight rows and are uniform, except for one at the bottom left, that one is slightly tilted. In the end I loved how this looked, and when going deeper into the meaning you can really see why this connects so well with the other darker art…
