Better Homes Better Garden Analysis
CONTEMPORARY ARTFORMS

One significant piece of art work that I thought was interesting was a painting that was done by Kerry James Marshall. The title of the painting was called "Better Homes Better Garden", it was made in 1994 (pg. 461). He grew up in the projects of Alabama and Los Angeles. Kelly made these series of paintings to take away any negative feedback that people had about the projects. He was trying to portray an image of piece and tranquility. I specifically like the trade marks that he makes in his paintings, such as the three birds at the top of the painting. He used a lot of bright vibrant colors and objects such as the flowers, birds, and a blue sky. He also used the couple in the painting to show that they were happy

    Another piece of art is one I have chosen is a jar from the Ancient Near East collection which is located in the Smithsonian Museum of art as well. This jar is from the chalcolithic period and is from Iran. This jar is made of earthenware which is a porous clay which is shaped and designed and then fired at a low temperature to harden and keep its form which is today know as pottery to many. The colors that were used on this piece were red and black. The red the bas color of the jar and the line designs are done in black.

This piece is three-dimensional and can also be considered a bulky mass. painted designs in contrasting colors had a long history in…

    Apartment unit four’s new garden in the backyard continues to have a sidewalk bisect the lawn horizontally and a fence that defines the end of its property. These elements serve as the datum for the designed landscape. In addition, the rectangular pool and the portion of the sidewalk that branches out to lead up to the porch further divide the site vertically. The pool lies embedded into the ground between the sidewalk and meshed fencing. Its reflective water provides a calming effect, particularly when it shimmers with hues of red, orange, and yellow during…

    The folk artist I would like to discuss is Clementine Hunter. She was born in 1886 on a cotton plantation in Cloutierville, Louisiana. Life on the plantation was hard on both the mind and body. Clementine didn't like school so she stopped going at an early age. She didn't have any educational background except life on the plantation. At the age of fifty-four, she was promoted from the fields to the house. The assistant of the house noticed her creativity right away through her chores of making dolls and clothing for the plantation owner's children. This led to her interest in art and everything is history from there. Her paintings were beautiful and her style was in a simple, straight forward way. She painted over 4,000 paintings in…

    For my visual analysis assignment I chose to go visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It has been an extremely long time since I last visited a museum. I took my twelve year old son with me to explore what the museum had to offer. We found the art to be very interesting, educational and unique. There were so many beautiful pieces throughout the museum that it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to base my visual analysis on.…

    * Where I live I have to say art is not really a big part of our town. There is one place called Liz Tech that does make their hand mad jewelry and other crafts. Other than that where they are on their block we do not have a lot of art threw out. What we have I would call is a lot of natural art, meaning not manmade, or handmade. It is made from nature. Items that have formed over time from nature itself. Such as rocks falling, the way tress are bent and the way the leaves fall where people come just to take photos of it. Also we do have some older buildings around that have a great art look about them. We really do not have art houses or anything like that. What we do have is where the home town of late Artists Frank Frezzta is. Was a well knowed all over the world.…

    My favorite two pieces would have to be Chris Kahler’s Viral A-9 and Lindsay Mills’s Beautiful Confusion. The way the gel and paint looked on the canvas in Chris Kalher’s work of art was really cool. It had my attention as so as I turned to walked down the stairs. It looked like a growing virus. Lindsay Mills’s use of colors and the way they we applied to the canvas was amazing. I told my wife I wanted to buy it and she said no you cannot. Her work of art was the most appealing to me in the whole…

    Harlem Renaissance

    Many of the artists described impose “modern” and cultural aspects into their pieces to present the black Harlem culture during that particular time. Although, as Powell clearly states on several occasions, African American art and their ideas remain unrecognized by some despite the role these works have played in the construction of modernity (Powell, 20). Powell continues his discussion by listing and describing several artist who contributed towards the Harlem Renaissance such as: James VanDerZee, Archibald J. Motley Jr., Aaron Douglas, Miguel Covarrubias, and much more. Overall, the combination of all forms of art are what made the Harlem Renaissance such an amazing period in time. Men and women who were going through similar hardships, in approximately the same area create beautiful works for art (literature, music, and visual art) focused their pain and sadness in a very creative manner which inspired other to do the same. Those who were not able to copy, did what they were capable of doing. For me, this is an amazing topic to consider because of how these African Americans used their hardships to create…things, beautiful things. What amazes me even more is that it was a cultural event, where large masses of people used art to express themselves instead of violence (even though that still existed during the Harlem…

    I also appreciated Storr’s mention of Agnes Martin. Although Storr did not describe Martin’s work in great detail, her name sounded familiar to me and her minimalistic style sparked some recollection. After a google search, I realized that I had seen some of Martin’s work in Taos, New Mexico at the Harwood Museum. The works shown there include the faint blue and white horizontal lines of Ordinary Happiness and a few other works that I don’t remember quite as well. It’s really turning out that I’ve seen paintings and pieces of art by many famous artists and have never realized it; they’ve just never stuck. I’m going to try to start paying closer attention when I’m looking at art.…

    The Post-Industrial Era in which we live in now is characterized by the extraordinary rate in development of technology. In sixty years we have managed to completely redesign every aspect of our lives in a way in which we allow technology to do most of the work. Whether we like it or not technology will keep evolving, and as it evolves it will impact aspects of society differently. The evolution of technology has had a very negative impact on artistic values in society and in aesthetics. In his essay “The Art of Collecting Lightbulbs,” Kimmelman exposes characteristics and qualities contained in art making. As Richard Restak explains in his essay “Attention Deficit: The Brain syndrome of Our Era,” Technology serves not only as an ally but also as a distraction from our daily activities. As a distraction it also serves as an escape from peoples daily routines, a place formerly occupied by art. Technology also facilitates the process of critical thinking and inhibits creative imagination, this turns out to be gravely detrimental to artistic development. As Technology distracts more people it will take away from the small group of people who are actually passionate about art.…

    Another art work that’s really interesting is “Bleh”. The drawing is a another young girl who looks as if she’s looking out of a window when the sun is setting. What makes it interesting is that its just a line drawing and used a gradation of different colours to seem like the sunset is hitting her face. Warm colours of orange, red, and pink only on her face then on the way down from her neck are cooler colours as if its the shade. Her eyes are closed as if she’s really soaking in the beautiful sunset. The background is dark which makes the colours pop out even…
