Right To Left Approach In Chevy By Edwin Landseer
In “Chevy” by Edwin Landseer, he uses some of the same approaches and different approaches of the development of the painting than Jules Breton. Jules Breton uses a linear approach, but unlike “Fire in a Haystack” that use right to left approach. The direction of this artwork is linear from right to left approach. The focal point that draws attention to the artwork is of the dog huddled against a dead deer in the center of the picture. The line orientation seem to be common in this picture; the way the dog body, antlers, and the mountain are curve in all the same way. It draws you to the lower left corner of the picture. Just like “Fire in a haystack” the mountains in “Chevy use atmospheric or aerial perspective”. This mean they use the quality

    In the painting, Rocky Mountain Landers Peak,the artist Albert Biersladt used elements of art in his painting. I noticed he used value through the color green, its darker and lighter shadings throughout the painting. The artist also showed atmospheric perspective. He created an illusion of distance by reducing color saturation and less detail in the background. He also manipulated warm and cool colors to show more of a hazy atmosphere above the horizon line. Overall the artist, Albert Biersladt painted a beautiful painting he also showed great elements of…

    Thomas Cole was a leader in landscape painting during the first half of the nineteenth century. Cole painted many landscapes, but the one that drew me in the most was the Genesee Scenery. My first impression of the painting was that it was beautiful, but as I looked closer I saw visual cues within the color, form, depth, and movement. The deconstruction of Genesee Scenery will explain how the physiology on the eye helped me to see the four visual cues.…

    In contrast the Ejira In Suruga Province, gives a totally different feeling and perspective. In this landscape the diagonal lines seem to push the inhabitants into motion giving the feeling of being caught in the middle of the storm rather than the aftermath as in The Oxbow. This flurry of motion shifts the focal point from the people rushing for shelter, to the trees swaying in the wind and on to the debris that disappears into the biggest underlying focal point, the outline of a mountain. The mountain is merely two intersecting lines and nothing more, yet it manages to make its presence clearly known as everything else seems to point in that direction. These visual elements bring the work together in a maelstrom of movement and their chaotic differences bring the work together in…

    Mount Analogue is a vivid, bright and wonderfully detailed traditionally set out interpretation of a real landscape. The artwork is set up in 165 small canvas boards placed together to create a massive scaled artwork (279x571cm.) In the foreground we are positioned on the rocky face of a cliff along with five other hikers painted very small staring out into a massive mountain range stretching very far to a clear horizon line and to a small strip of blue sky. The oil stick and polymer paint used is able to make the white’s brown’s and oranges of the slightly snow covered mountains stand out quite brightly against the dark rocks in the foreground. Shapes, textures and lines of the mountains in this artwork are very realistic through the use of small brushes with detailed and precise strokes, and though Robinson uses the same methods to paint we are given a very different perspective of ‘landscape.’…

    Based on traditional landscape painting methods, Cropsey made clear observation of different landscapes of nature and drew sketches of them. He then combined them to create a larger, composite landscape painting. Here, we can see that he presents a Romantic panoramic landscape view in his canvas and organized spatial recession in this landscape with the use of light and color. The painting can almost be divided into three main parts: a dark foreground, a bright middle ground and a translucent background. In the foreground, he depicts the wilderness in a dark tone. In the center, Cropsey uses a warm golden yellow to brighten the cultivated hay fields of the family farm. Not only it creates a contrast with the dark surrounding wilderness, but it also was a recognizable style of the artist’s time. With that said, we can tell that this painting has a relative clarity, and that Cropsey might intend to make a focus upon the things in the middle. To recede the viewer’s eyes to the background, Cropsey uses a lighter and cooler color to portray the objects, for example, the grayish-blue mountains and translucent clouds. It creates an illusion of three-dimensional space and furthers the distance away from the viewer. The brushwork of the painting is evidently loose, which gives a painterly effect. Therefore, we can say that Cropsey depicts the scenery by…

    Arkansas Barley Fields

    Arkansas Barley Fields illustrates multiple visual elements of art and also principles of design. The visual elements employed consists of space, time and motion, and line. Multiple lines are shown in this painting; regular and irregular lines, implied line and communicative lines. Freud uses natural and organic lines for the landscape of this artwork. The grass located in the front of the barley and the barley itself illustrates irregular lines. Irregular lines at first, may seem chaotic and maybe even scribbled, which is exactly what seems to be the issue in the illustration of the barley. Though the lines seem scribbled, the painting as a whole is controlled and easy to view and comprehend. Irregular lines can be described as free and unrestrained and are defined as the reflection of the wildness of nature, chaos and accident, unlike regular lines, which express control and planning. Regular lines are illustrated in the bark of the trees. The lineup of the trees not only express regular lines, but also implied line. In this artwork, implied line is shown in the lineup of the trees and also in the lineup of the barley. There is not an actual line portrayed but the way that the trees and barley are positioned causes an implied line. Since Freud uses irregular lines in the illustration of the barley, the "chaos" would also be conveyed by using communicative diagonal lines, which…

    In Albert Bierstadt’s painting The Rocky Mountains, the artist takes on two roles. He was creating a record of the culture of that time and also helping viewers to see the world in a different way. For someone who had never seen the Rocky Mountains, but may have heard of their beauty, they could now have a different view of the mountains through Bierstadt’s work. Bierstadt also accurately records, in this artwork, Native-American dress and living conditions (Syre, 2010). As someone who has never seen the Rocky Mountains, I now have a new outlook and deeper appreciation of the area just by viewing this relatively small work of art.…

    The California Gold Rush in 1848, started a very large production of gold mining. The land the gold was found on started to create problems with the Native Americans because ownership to land. Even if the land was given back to the Native Americans and there was gold found on the land, you can bet that people would be there to mine it even if they didn’t own land. That is how the battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana of 1876 started, then was later made into painting called “Custer’s last stand.” Custer's last stand was painted in 1943 by Thomas Hart Benton, is now in the Albrecht-Kemper museum in St. Joseph Missouri.…

    Tom Thomson the Jack Pine

    While you look at The Jack Pine your eye wonders up the tree and then down the longest thickest branch, letting your eye level out on the horizon. The tree is placed to the right side of the painting rather than in the center, even though it is the main focus. It is as though you are standing and taking this picture with a camera, making it believable to look at and imagine yourself there. There is a very perpendicular feel to this painting. The horizon and the tree make a 't' right through the middle of the painting. When I drew the lines on the painting, they didn't really represent anything because he was influenced by impressionism. There were some measurements that made sense,…

    The piece of artwork, done by Albert Bierstadt in 1863, titled Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak, is an oil on canvas and is of true inspirational beauty. He perfectly captures the cool, vivid colors of the real forest. The scene makes you feel extremely calm, peaceful, and serene due to the relaxing nature of the picture itself. The cast shadows make the painting very 3-D and make you feel as though you are standing directly in the field, looking at the scenery yourself. The more you observe the painting, the more you can hear the horses in the field, the water rushing down the fall, and the more you can smell the fresh rocky mountain air. The extreme detail in the horses, people, and forestry show Bierstadt's time and effort spent in perfecting this masterpiece.…

    The “Landslide” painting is unique in itself but also shares some characteristics with Chiura Obata’s “Sunset Water Tower.” This painting is similar in that it was done with watercolor on paper, has a horizontal orientation and was done in the same time period; 1943. This painting differs however with the use of light, colors, use of line and theme. This painting is of a water tower in the middle of a field, with farms surrounding it and mountains in the background, giving it a variety of landscape. It also has a sunset overtop of the water tower leading into light clouds. Hence the name “Sunset Water Tower.” The use of line is very noticeable in this painting. “Sunset Water Tower” is more acceptable in which the time period it was created. The lines are symmetrical with more use of lighter colors. This work of art follows on a horizontal line in which one can see because of the sunset.…

    Imants Tillers

    This particular artwork is an appropriation of the rather majestic painting ‘North- East view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko’ by Eugene von Guerard, produced in 1863. Tillers has re-contextualised the work and given it added value for the present time. ‘Mt Analogue’ explores ideas of authorship and originality through his use of appropriation. He has used one hundred and sixty five canvas board panels jig-sawed together to contrast with von Guerard’s meticulous nineteenth century depiction. Von Guerard’s painting was a result of its time; Von Guerard’s painting is based on sketches he made as part of a scientific expedition to record variations of the earth’s magnetic fields in 1862, and he recorded the new nation through European eyes. Although von Guerard attempted to very accurately portray the features of the new country, he used the techniques and conventions of the time.…
