Analysis Of John E. Moscowitz's Painting Blowing Rocks
Blowing Rocks VII by John E. Moscowitz is a painting of a portion of the Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter Florida. It shows the rocks forming somewhat of a U shape with some smaller rocks scattered in front of it in the brown sand. The middle section of the formation is on the shore but still close enough to the ocean that some of the water from the waves are able to advance past the larger rocks and surround the smaller rocks while the sides of the formation jet out into the water. The dark blue-green ocean water is crashing against the brown rocks causing the white waves to jet straight up in the air. There are white caps in the middle of the ocean and larger waves closer to shore displaying a rough and windy day. The sly is a royal blue

    Art Analysis: Red Hot By Marsha Clements

    The painting Red Hot, created by Marsha Clements, is a realist painting of two roses. These two roses are purposed to represent the changes that occur when two people becoming more intimate with one another. As our relations with others grows stronger we reveal things that we don’t readily exhibit to the rest of the world. Clements does this through the use of contrasting colors and lines from her brush strokes that directs the viewers’ attention to the contrast.…

    Gerrit Van Honthorst: Art Analysis

    The piece of Art, Smiling Girl, a Courtesan Holding an Obscene Image, painted by Gerrit van Honthorst in 1625 can be seen at the Saint Louis Art Museum. I was initially drawn to this image from across the gallery mostly due to the subject’s bright red dress with gold sleeves, it was one of the brightest colored images in the gallery. It is about three feet tall and two feet wide, it is an oil on canvas painting. As I approached the image, I was still intrigued as the image she is holding is of a naked man facing away, the subject in the painting seems to get enjoyment from this. To me this piece of art makes me curious, I want to know who this woman was and why she is holding that image. The artist seems to be communicating the importance of…

    Thumbnail Techniques In Franz Marc's Oil Painting

    Many see a work of art in front of them without ever giving a second thought about the artwork and move on to the next. It is essential for the viewer to fully understand the artwork to truly develop opinions about the work. Usually, making a thumbnail sketch of the work of art can serve a great purpose when it comes to visualizing the work in their eyes. A thumbnail sketch is similar to taking notes for a history class, so when it comes to the part where they have to study for the test, they have something to study off of. Thumbnail sketches help the viewer, who is trying to comprehend the artist’s work, draw conclusions, and develop legitimate opinions unlike statements such as “I like this piece of art.” Also, a thumbnail sketch helps the…

    Art Analysis: The Concert Painting

    The Procuress is hung on the wall that would form part of The Concert painting that Vermeer is painting of his patron van Ruijven and his daughter and sister. I think that the author had Griet focusing on this painting to remind her who she was. In other words, it encouraged her to remain decent, and humble. On page 186 van Leeuwenhoek said to Griet, “Take care to remain yourself.” When Griet srated to work for the family she was exposed to a different environment. While working there she was also reminded a maid who was in a painting a long with van Ruijven, who then was discovered having an affair with her master and ended up having a child of his. He reputation was destroyed, and Griet feared that the same would happen to her as well. I think that Vermeer has come to see Griet the way that the girl in the the painting is portrayed.…

    Art 109 Modern Art Analysis

    One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

    Julie Heffernan Sky Is Falling Analysis

    By this technique of relaxing the mind and letting the brain flood with images, Heffernan is able to layer her artwork into the canvas space. Heffernan begins her artwork with sketches, then marks those sketches until she begins to see images in them (Samet). She relates this technique to frottage, which is applying a texture to a piece of paper, to make her paintings detailed. Self Portrait with Falling Sky (2011, Oil on Canvas, 68x60) depicts a nude woman being pelted with falling rocks. These rocks resemble jewels, potatoes, and are adorned with growing shrubs. The rocks are textured, the artist paints swirls and jewels into them, as well as chipped pieces, suggestive of the rigidness of a stone. The woman is surrounded by green flora amidst a blue backdrop. Her hands are thrown upward to protect herself, as she is even being splashed with water tipping from above out of a flower pot. This piece reminds one of surrealist art. It looks like a scene from a bad dream. The juxtaposition of the objects- the female nude, flying rocks, and forestry- capture the ideals of surrealist art. Heffernan’s technique of layering the rocks and placing her subject with her hands in extended space between these rocks gives the piece depth and a sense of…

    Hal Marcus Golden Final Hours Analysis

    Thomas Sully´s 1830 “Portrait of Margaret H. Sandford”, was astonishing. The beauty of this young lady was remarkable. Hours could pass, and no one could get tired of admiring her elegance and the artist´s talent. This oil on canvas piece of realist art, by Thomas Sully, created an atmosphere of enjoyable tranquility. On the other hand, Waugh´s “Smothering Surf”, portrayed feelings of anger and impatience. A coast with incredibly high tide was painted by Frederick Judd Waugh with oil on panel. With large waves crashing into the rocks and white fog in the sky, Waugh expressed his frustrations. However, the quality of this melancholic piece of art was unreal. Each brush stroke made by Waugh was incredibly precise. The change in tone of the hues and the detailed characteristics of each wave, made me want to stare at the painting all…

    Descriptive Essay: My Use Of Cardboard

    There are mostly organic lines with varying lengths. The wave looks like one long curved line and then the smaller ripples in the ocean decrease in length as they come closer but are also wavy. This contrasts with the straight line in the trunk of the palm tree. You can also see the vertical lines from the surface of the cardboard. Despite cutting into the cardboard, there are only 2D shapes. I manipulated the positive and negative shapes through intuitive perspective. Occlusion is visible with the big wave and the palm tree covering the rest of the ocean. Texture gradient and relative height on ground plane are both seen in the ripples of the ocean. The wavelength of the ripples decrease the farther back it goes and they get higher on the ground plane the farther back they get in order to give the ocean distance. I chose to paint everything it’s local color, the ocean is blue, the sun is yellow, the palm fronds are green, and the cloud is white. There are various tints of the primary colors and a couple secondary colors. The ocean and wave is monochromatic but with multiple values. I made the value scale of blue on the wave to make it stand out from the rest of the ocean. The white on the crest puts emphasis on the wave because it is more saturated than the rest of the colors. I used analogous hues for the sun with the red, orange, and yellow. The…

    Rock Art In Horseshoe Canyon

    In order to understanding human culture and society, the archaeological record provides precedent for human reaction to climate change and reveals information about patterns of civilization. As a science, archaeology is limited to material records of culture. While most material preserved in the archaeological record relates to technology and economics, rock art provides unique insight into the social organization and ideology of the cultures that created it. In fact, Horseshoe Canyon is one of the best known rock art styles in the western United States, which contains some of the most significant rock art in North America, including "The Great Gallery", and is believed to date to the Late Archaic period (1700 B.C. to A.D. 500).…

    Art Appreciation semester final essay

    In this essay you will be comparing and contrasting two different types of paintings. The same subject matter but different ideas of the same subject. I will be writing about The Last Supper, which was painted by Giampietrino, after Leonardo da Vinci. He used oil on canvas while painting the piece of art. The year that Giampietrino painted this picture was in 1520. Another work of art that I will be writing about will be The Last supper by Francesco Fontebasso. He painted this picture in 1762 using oil on canvas. As you can see from both types of arts, that they were both painted on oil on canvas and both have the same subject matter which is the last supper that Jesus Christ had. To both of these painting’s in person, you can go to the Royal academy of Arts in London to see the Giampietrino piece and Fontebasso’s piece is found in Museum Fund of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.…

    Chauvet Versus Laxcaux: Comparing Cave Paintings

    Both sets of caves have several paintings that are very similar, as well as many that are vastly different. The styles of art in both are fairly similar, although more colors are used in Lascaux, as well as a wider variety of angles (Lascaux has a horse in frontal view). The red ochre is consistent throughout both caves. The hand prints, both positives and negatives, seem entirely absent from Lascaux, while there are many more “symbolic” signs, such as the XIII, leading me to believe that they may have perhaps been a primitive form of descriptors or signatures.…
