    I believe the bright colors are making a statement to emphasize on the major parts of the artwork. Showing the motion, makes you move your eyes along the imaginary wave. The slight tone of yellow makes me think of the sun come through the wave. The soft light of the off white background makes me think of a light blue sky that is clear of everything. Vague colors made me stare at the picture for long periods of time so that way I could understand why he created this on in particular. I thought maybe like times when he got bored and went to the museum; he created a scene of his bus ride there. Maybe he pictures himself at a beach and what it would be like to sit and watch someone ride a…

    In his painting, Paris Street: Rainy Day, Gustave Caillebotte showcases his view on late 18th century Paris. The figures nearest to the audience are blurred and seemingly out of focus whereas the pedestrians and carriage towards the center of the town square have sharp edges and are more distinctly defined. The images in the background of the painting remain nebulous and dim. The point of focus advances the viewers eyes to the buildings in the background. Caillebotte demonstrates a two-point perspective using parallel lines in his arrangement of roads and buildings. This two-point perspective sends the focus to the back and blurs out images on the foreground.…

    The reddish strokes in the space above the hat could represent anxiety or uncertainty, which is what his facially expression seems to present to the viewer as well. The grayish paint strokes represented in the negative space outside van Gogh’s image sharply contrasts with the orange, yellow and reddish colors in the facial area and hat, which adds to the overall boldness and vibrancy of the painting. In addition, the space appears to be illusionistic, as the painter depicts an illusion (van Gogh himself) of the three-dimensional spatial world on a two-dimensional…

    In the painting we see a very clear argument Cole the artist is trying to convey. A very distinct line down the middle of the scene creates a clear border between the untouched wilderness that Cole and his Hudson River School are known for. On the other side of the border lays clear skies with farmland and developed land, which gives the notion that a storm is either coming or subsiding as the wilderness part of the piece is drenched by storm. The actual light of the piece appears to have minimal effect. Implied…

    “Sunrise” is of an everyday scene in nature with vibrant colors that appear to be mixed directly on the canvas, which are all characteristics of the Impressionism period. A critic of this type of work during the period was noted as saying this painting reminded him of wallpaper. (Impressionism, 2000)…

    This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

    The Sunset Heights composition made me feel special because I kind of know where the painting took place and I also noticed the “La X”, Juarez monument, on it too. In the other hand, there was works of art that I could not relate to and they were harder to understand. For example, Magic Bus was a complex painting and it had more variety than any other work of art in his exhibition. There is a colorful bus in the middle of the painting with people inside including a king and a queen, then outside the bus we had like circus people preforming, and there were musicians on top of the bus. Also the background was strange as well, we had the sun in one corner and the moon in the other side and there was a rainbow in between them, there was fish at the bottom and stars at the top. I took the longest in this painting, even at the end I was still confused and did not understand the purpose of this painting.…

    After a visual analysis it helped me look deeper into the painting itself. It helped me understand what the artist really was trying to show rather than just a random assessment of colors and shapes. The theme was addressed well because it managed to show a picture of the universe’s history. By understanding what the story behind the painting it helped me understand the meaning behind it more. Also because I visited it so long ago it reminded of how much I enjoyed the piece and it helped me remember it…

    “The Seine at Lavacourt” is an impressionism painting done by Claude Monet. The whole painting does not have clear or strict lines, shapes and edges because these are characteristics of the impressionism painting. He used many bright colors and soft brushwork to display a peaceful scene of the Seine River. The Seine at Lavacourt is one of the masterpieces from his Seine collection. His painting actually influences the future development of realism, neo-classicism, japonisme (Claude Monet Biography, n.d.).…

    The bright vivid colors attracted me to this work; I found it interesting how the artist played off of mostly reds and blues and I liked how my attention was immediately drawn to the center of the painting. All of the people seemed to be involved in the miraculous birth of the Jesus. The greatest aesthetic strength of this painting is its use of vivid color, the aesthetic weakness I found was the lack of the artistic use of shadow. I…

    The Slave Ship painting by British Artist Turner is said to have been inspired by the practice of the late eighteenth century Atlantic slave traders who would throw the dead and dying slaves overboard in order to collect the insurance money paid out upon their death but only if they drowned. Turner is said to have been influenced by the ‘Zong Massacre of slaves 1781’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slave_Ship)…

    During a recent visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art, I was able to view many pieces and types of artwork. This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art. It was a very interesting experience and one that I would definitely like to repeat in the future. The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together mall pieces of stone, glass, tile and other materials (DeWitte, Larmann and Shields 629)…

    He has used a very limited palette of colours. There was lots of repetition used in this painting: The people in the middle, the hats of the people in the front, the curved top windows and the rectangles. The picture also lots of space between the front and the back. The structure of the painting is very orderly and even. The painting was painted very thinly and carefully and outlined and clear.…
