Andy Goldsworthy is an extraordinary, innovative British artist whose collaborations with nature produce uniquely personal and intense artworks. Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials—snow, ice, leaves, bark, rock, clay, stones, feathers petals, twigs—he creates outdoor sculpture that manifests, however…

My focus for this final will be mainly on his engraving of the “Knight, Death, and Devil” that was done on copper and then used to make many printings of. The overall design of the piece is very ornate with many lines and curves used to detail the subject in the engraving. There are very many finely cut details, and shapes of all sizes and this gives the original engraving a texture to it. This texture is then transferred over to the paper when it is printed on. There are no real colors to the printed copies other than black with many shades of grey, which I think helps add to the mood of the picture. Also there does not seem to be any great emphasis on any one particular part of the picture but rather the whole piece has a great deal of interest. This not to say there is no definite subject, because the Knight on the horse is obviously that, but the maker did put a great amount of time to each piece of the picture and made it interesting to the viewer.…
Meaning this feels best to him to use the earth and its material to create art. I believe his is sympathetic to environmental concerns, but aware and cautious about how he uses natural resources to do his work. He does what is right for him and the land, and has no motivation in any way on a political basis. He doesn’t do work to please environmentalists or to cause any trouble with them either. “We should be a part of the earth along with its cycles and changing seasons not to be confused with being a part of destroying it”. (Goldsworthy, 2007) What I like about his work is that it is unrepeatable, it’s amazing! To seek out and find material from nature and create one in a lifetime piece…

He used different materials such as fabric, magazines and newspapers blended with paint to create semi-abstract collages. His style was inspired by Cubism. “Bearden arranged his collages on paper or board and then glued them down” (National Gallery of Art). Most of his work depicts a story about African-American life and/or culture. “His works’ complexity lies in their poetic abstraction, in which layered fragments of color and pattern evoke the rhythms, textures, and mysteries of a people’s experience” (Britannica Articles). The way Bearden layered different materials told a story about the life African-Americans lived and what their culture is all…
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…

While living in Norway, Gabo left academic figurative art behind and develops what he calls his “stereometric” method of sculpture. This technique, which consists of interlocking sheet materials pieced together with tape or glue, becomes central to Gabo’s work.…
The variation of colors he used created an outstanding display of nature that I never thought possible. I believe his purpose was to create imagery, an illusion to the audience, as if they were looking into the American West, through his painting. The entity of light was the key element of this painting. The form of a fine white line amid a mass of water allowed the separation of the earth and the heavens. What is intriguing about the painting is that as quickly as the earth and heaves were separated, the two joined once again at the same location. The reflection of the lake elaborated on the purity of the water and the richness of life. The contrast of dark and light colors served a great importance in his painting.…
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.…
The focus on surface meant that the meaning of the object was not seen as important to the object itself, but comes from the interaction between viewers with the object. This led to the emphasis on the physical space in which the artwork resided, such as Kelly’s “Sculpture for a large wall”. It’s a huge combination of aluminum panels, each of the panels oriented in a different way, so that color and form are made to interact with both the wall and the space of the viewer. The work captures the effect of sunlight on a river and the light and shade on buildings in cityscapes. While compare with the painting, the artists painted simple canvases that were considered minimal due to they used of only line, solid color, and geometric forms and shaped canvases. These artists combined painting materials in their own…
