Toots Zynsky Night Street Chaos Analysis
Art Appreciation 1101
Catherine Park
Night Street Chaos (pg. 277) Toots Zynsky used various elements in her artwork named “Night Street Chaos.” The outline, exterior of the object, is obvious upon first look of the sculpture. Mass is also an obvious element that can be noticed since the sculpture is 3 dimensional. Although the sculpture already has mass, the value provides and enhanced illusion. Night Street Chaos incorporates a vivid blend of primary, secondary, and intermediate colors. Zynsky’s sculpture uses the principle of unity throughout the sculpture by maintaining the same technique of using the colored glass threads. The sculpture is almost completely symmetrical despite slight differences in the curves which would make it more

    The author believes that this one in particular succeeds in circumventing its own polemical potential and is set apart from other similar works because of its optimistic act of consciousness-raising. One of the works, the “Truth Trophy” challenges the assumption that surround the ordering and presentation of history. In the middle of this installation is a globe contained in Plexiglas. On one side of the globe there are three white pedestals with sculptures of white historical figures. On the other side there are three empty black pedestals.

    Successful sculptural forms are created through careful attention to common artistic elements and techniques. In order to discover an artist’s intentions while looking at a sculptural piece, it is vital to note the artist’s visual cues. Such visual cues may include form, shape, texture, material, lighting, space, and dynamism. In addition, classical sculpture is commonly comprised of well-balanced idealized forms, with a sense of naturalistic beauty and elegance in mind. Great sculpture also must convey a strong sense of gracefulness and stability. The Lansdowne Bust of Athena of Velletri very successfully exhibits artistic qualities and sculptural…

The artists take advantage of space when creating their pieces along with a little naturalism. One sculptor uses color on his figure. Their technique, although different, brings individuality and texture to their works.…

    Bellagio Art

    While deciding on a piece of art that sparked my eye I was drawn to glass sculptor Dale Chihuly’s Fiori di Como on page 24. This work of art uses amazing colors and implied lines throughout the piece giving it an unrealistic yet amazing symmetry throughout the work. It is placed on a 70 foot long ceiling suspended above the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, dazzling patrons with its unique designs and colors. When I look at the artistic style of such a creations I feel very happy inside, as if I am staring into a never-ending depth of color and shape, I see many colors flowing together and it makes me think as if, maybe this was the reason behind such a wild creation. Colors, like people, come in many shades and when combined form new colors, they come in multitude of shapes and sizes but always flow together and form something new, something magnificent. Something like Fiori di Como.…

    The Scream Analysis

    The bold curved lines of the sky flow directly into the figure and endure to form the body of the individual. Van Gogh uses long, heavy yet equal brushstrokes to express feelings and motion. Motion is the main element in this painting Vertical lines such as the tree and church tower delicately breaks up the composition without withdrawing from the powerful night sky. Van Gogh's use of white and yellow creates a twisting result and draws attention to the sky. And the usage of color to send emotion. Munch also used colors that were contrast between hot and cold colors, contrast of complimentary. By using artless forms, Munch is able to force his viewers to focus on the emotions that the sight and subject secrete rather than simply viewing an exact picture of one particular scene. The cautious use of balance also helps the viewers understand the indirect consequence of The Scream. Munch placed the unpleasant figure in the focal point and attains a sense of balance by inserting two smaller figures who are walking into the scorching sunset in the distance on the left side and by creating a dominant arch in the upper right hand corner. But the focal point created by Van Gogh is the tree-like structure projecting out on the bottom…

    Artists throughout time are subjected to changing their practice due to context and issues within this time period. Artists that center around performance art, who use shock to convey their artworks, are subjected to change. Changes within the world inspire artists to create artworks that reflect these evolving aspects. Different developments in terms of practice have changed the world that we know. Advancements with technology, science and environment have influenced performance artists such pioneers in performance art Yves Klein, Stelarc and Ron Mueck who creates life like figures artworks that in their own way perform for the audience. These influences have shaped the performance artists practice, Klein’s use of monochrome art to represent the empty space surrounding the earth; the void, by using his own mix of the colour blue; Klein creates artworks to represent the empty space in the environment. In Klein’s later years he began to work with naked female models to create body prints. Likewise to stelarc’s use of incorporating technology within the body to make a hybrid or cyborg to reflect of what humans will become in the future, Stelarc looks at the body’s ability to expand or be altered as well as the mental capabilities of being fused with the cybernetic world. Technology has had a dramatic influence on Stelarc’s practice. Mueck creates life like sculptures often altering the size of the figures. Mueck’s use of creating grotesque, eerie life like sculptures shocks the audience, sometimes thinking that they would be real if they were the proper size ratio. Mueck’s art work ‘Dead Dad’ shocked audiences into believing that there could have been a real dead man lying on the floor. If the artwork were to be resurrected, friends and family would recognise the sculpture straight away, and to the…
