Name of painter: David Hockney

Modern Art is not really on my good list. I am not a fan of it. Though when doing this project, I found a painting that to my eyes was beautiful and uplifting. It was painted by David Hockney a painter I am not familiar with. His works are beautiful but only one painting was noticed among the rest by me to be the best at the Metropolitan museum. It stood out with its bright colors and vivid play of light. It's light played with the objects on the canvas and even though there were no people or animals on the painting it felt full of life.

This painting portrays an apartment in Los Angeles. It has a lot of furniture of different geometric shapes. Also the ceiling is triangular. This form of painting amuses me because of the multiple geometric shapes placed in one location. There are circles, squares, trapezoids, ovals, rectangles and triangles. They are placed next to each other in interesting patterns. The rectangles are with rectangles and the triangles on the ceiling are all together. There are objects that have unknown geometric shape. Also there are objects with soft edges and hard edges. Some of the couches have rounded edges that are very pleasant to look at. The trapezoids and other parallelograms are hard-edged and catch the attention of a viewer right away. The hard-edged shapes are not pleasant but, in fact they are useful. The hard-edged shapes are used to balance out the soft-edged shapes in the painting so it is evenly mixed. This causes a beautiful blend of shapes.

The lines on this painting are very diverse. There are sharp, thick, jagged, curved, choppy, smooth, vertical, straight and diagonal lines on this painting. The ceiling in this painting is filled jagged, thin and sharp. This is mixed together to help make a very interesting ceiling. The ground itself in the painting is filled with thin choppy fuzzy sharp lines in turn making the ground look like a wooden

    When comparing the lines in the Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting and Sol LeWitt’s the Wall Drawing No. 681, the lines are the opposite. In the Starry Night painting the lines of the sky are very curvy and flowing, but the lines of the buildings are very straight. The artist in this painting is showing you a vision he has had during the time he was in the asylum. The lines of the sky are erratic, and it shows how the artist was feeling very unstable during the time he painted the piece. You can feel how peaceful the buildings are, but the sky is not peaceful. The artist is fighting with himself, and it shows in the painting. The Wall Drawing No.681 shows very straight and precise lines. The artist is feeling very controlled as he painted the piece. The lines appear to be mathematical, each of the lines are the same in length and distance. As you look at each of the lines, the colors are used more than once, but the tense of the color has changed. The lines in the piece are very organized.…

    Shapes and volume are used not only to form man-made objects in the painting, but as the foundation for natural landmarks as well. In the foreground, the cinder wall is intricately composed of various triangles and squares, all connected by lines. The abovementioned tree is also composed of shapes, with two, well-defined circles acting as knots in the wood. The houses in the village below are constructed with well-defined lines to represent three-dimensional forms, with cubes and elongated triangular forms composing roofs. A small dirt plot in the shape of a square dominates the area of the closest houses of the municipality.…

    For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…

    The lines in this work of art are of a large variety. On the right side of the painting a lot of the objects are horizontal. The woman though is sitting up vertically, along with the flame. There are a few diagonal lines also, for example; the position of the woman’s head, one of her legs, and her arm resting on the skull. Everything in this painting is realistic and the shapes are organic. The texture in this painting is two-dimensional. Almost all of the objects seem to be smooth, for example; the books, the wall, the table, the woman’s skin and dress, and so on. Warm colors are used in this painting. The value in this shows the lightest point being the center and from that going outward, it gets darker.…

    The art piece is representational, the lines are sharp and there are various and different shapes. The texture is smooth and there has been more than one colour that has been used in the painting. The tone shows that the sun is on him even though there is no sun shown in the portrait. Space and depth has been used as you can tell the objects are further away and the ones that are closer up and in detail.…

    The type of line generally employed throughout the painting is primarily expressive and flowing, this is generally type of line impressionist used in their paintings. When Renoir painted this portrait his use of line seemed to soften the overall look of the painting. While there are areas in the painting where the artist’s line are more structured and deliberate the overall feel of the painting is that the line is free flowing and expressive.…

    After re-reading a few short talks, I began to feel like I was that little kid again going to the museum for the first time. I just couldn’t understand the concept of modern art. Going from crayons and markers to Rembrandts and Monet’s is no easy task. In grade school it was exciting going to the museum. Looking at all the pictures and colors and different objects and forms.…

    The one piece that I did not find interesting was the "Dad's Spanish Class" painting by Clayton Hurt. To me, it looked like an elementary student at my job can do the same job if not better. It is like a collage of magazine pictures cut out and glued to a paper then named in Spanish the different parts of the face. At one point, some of the features confused me on the whether it was a male or female. I did not like this piece at all and feel as if an elementary student can easily make it into a museum just by doing what Clayton Hurt created.…

    Throughout the centuries there have been many influential artists that brought us new discoveries, techniques, and magnificent works of art, however, I believe the art depicted by Andy Warhol, Marlyn Diptych (1962), silk screen on canvas, The Tate Gallery, London. Jackson Pollock, Autumn Rhythm Number 30 (1950) Oil on canvas, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Dorothea Lange, Migrant Mother (1936) Gelatin-silver print. Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. are three prime examples of art that best represent our modern world today.…

    The Scream Analysis

    The bold curved lines of the sky flow directly into the figure and endure to form the body of the individual. Van Gogh uses long, heavy yet equal brushstrokes to express feelings and motion. Motion is the main element in this painting Vertical lines such as the tree and church tower delicately breaks up the composition without withdrawing from the powerful night sky. Van Gogh's use of white and yellow creates a twisting result and draws attention to the sky. And the usage of color to send emotion. Munch also used colors that were contrast between hot and cold colors, contrast of complimentary. By using artless forms, Munch is able to force his viewers to focus on the emotions that the sight and subject secrete rather than simply viewing an exact picture of one particular scene. The cautious use of balance also helps the viewers understand the indirect consequence of The Scream. Munch placed the unpleasant figure in the focal point and attains a sense of balance by inserting two smaller figures who are walking into the scorching sunset in the distance on the left side and by creating a dominant arch in the upper right hand corner. But the focal point created by Van Gogh is the tree-like structure projecting out on the bottom…

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…
