Seven Projection Designs For Salome 1986
I’m looking at a very objective piece of artwork. Yet even with it being such common two-dimensional shape it is still very unique and tells a lot about the artist.
I believe that the “Seven Projection Designs for Salome 1986” heart is related to a sorrow or loss felt during the play.
Jim Dine the artist is used diagonal lines. While he also used very unusual contrasting colors for a heart because ordinarily, the color of a heart is just red, but in here the artist used black, white, blue, gray, and pink. To fill the color of the heart.
Then Jim Dine also used numerous lines that overlapped one another which is very unusual because when the majority of people draw a heart it is one unbroken line.
The artist does not follow traditional art rules such as coloring in the between the lines either.

Jim Dine artwork didn’t take up the entire canvas which I found interesting.
What I mean by chaos is not necessarily a war or something violent I am talking more about confusion in the mind.
The artist Jim Dine used this to represent some chaos within the painting conversely, typically hearts represent love, cohesion, unity, sensuality, and etcetera. This just stood out to me because it is an atypical meaning for a heart. This leads me to believe there is something higher a deeper meaning of what I can comprehend of this artwork. In some ways, this artwork reminds me of my artwork when I was in elementary school. I could not really color in the lines or really comprehend to colors really belong together.
This painting consisted of charcoal, acrylic, spray paint and brown paper. The artist used mixed media to create this peculiar piece of

    As a child Mark Bradford had known his mother and grandmother to be creators. He called them creators because as a job title they were seamstresses. The ability to make things, new things at that for people was the motivation and process of making things. The contrast of the objects used on the collage is weird because he just used scraps that were lying around the house. The contrast was the placing of fabrics next to a different color and flow of the piece was in amazing. It made me think of rhythm that is somehow missing but never seems to finds its own way. The fact he put two different pieces of fabric next to each…

    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.…

    The use of line in particular is very intricate. The bold diagonal lines make the entire piece very dynamic and really invokes the sense of movement in the directional lines as Kat chases the rock down the hill. Since the cartoon focuses more on the simple outlines of the characters, the lines used to indicate movement, as well as the crosshatching shading style both bring out the contrast of the piece. Because of the lack of color, the contrast is shown most in the darkest hues of Kat, the trees, and the holes of the house and hill. The lighter contrast of the shaded side of the house, the highlight of the rock versus the shaded underside, and…

    The poem known as ‘Tattoo’ illustrated by Ted Kosser gives us an understanding of how one’s life can be so fun and enjoyable on the outside but on the inside of things it’s really and truly the opposite. The poem shows a lot about life and gives us as the viewers a brief introduction to how looks can be very deceiving and the perspective of others needs to be taken into consideration. Ted uses the simile “Strong as a Stallion” to give us an overview of what the old man looks like but before that he uses “A dripping dagger held in the fist of a shuddering heart” establishing the fact that he's an old man that’s been through a lot of rough times and deep in his heart all he wants to do is cry. Mr. Kosser reflects on the old man's appearance as an ordinary “old man thats hearts gone soft and blue” showing that even if he might look “strong as a stallion” and “fast and ornery” his still an ordinary old man whos been through a lot and deep inside his heart ache has been lingering onto him. Obi1Kenobi once said “your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them” which has been seen being used in ‘Tattoo’ and used very well giving us a good understanding of life, giving us the readers a life lesson that should be and would be passed onto generations to come.…

    In the film, there are symbols such as the Beast, Lumière's flames, the magic mirror and the rose that help move the story. The Beast's appearance represents the prince's behavior towards others before the curse which shows us that his personality was horrid. Now, Lumière's flames are a symbol of hope that the Beast will find love and the flames extinguish when hope is lost. Next, the magic mirror symbolizes how the Beast has become an outsider and excluded himself from the world because of his actions. Finally, the enchanted rose is essentially a timer in the film, but the rose does symbolize love.…

    The use of shapes and lines in the painting itself is quite interesting and unique as well. Soft, fluid lines of light green amorphous shape on the green canvas are opposed by the angular shape and assertive lines in the leftmost upper part of the blue canvas. Murray also balances out this straight almost rectangular shape by using curved line to create an oval shape that joins the rectangle making it look like a leg of a table. In fact, the focal point of the composition, the black oval shape in the center of blue canvas with tentacle-like extensions looks like a stylized table itself. This black shape links blue and green canvas, adjoining them, ties the entire work together by flowing from one canvas to the other, and creates a sense of overall unity in the composition.…

    Rackham's illustrations are easily recognised by his characteristic use of line and depiction of fairytale creatures. The graceful and flowing pen lines softened by the use of watercolour, is a style that Rackham invented himself and it is often described as a fusion of the northern European style and the Japanese woodblock tradition. To complete an illustration he would sketch the outline before adding the shapes and details. Then he would go over the lines using pen and ink. To create coloured pictures he applied washes of colour to create a translucent effect.…
