Early photography was used in many ways. One very popular application of photography was to replicate works of art or make it easier for artists to trace a subject. Photographic books were created, documenting botanical specimens and even portrait work. As portrait photography became popular, photographers experimented with numerous subjects one subject being the dead. Before being able to permanently record an exact photographic image artists used the camera obscura to help with their drawing.
The world of art lives around us in our daily lives, it has may become more evolved than it was from back in the day but art does go back into centuries. Art is something that is created by one’s imagination and made into something to show the way the artist thinks, feels and/or to tell a story. Art is a path that some choose to show their creative side, whether it is a painting, a drawing, a sculpture, quilts, photography or glass and so much more. There are many ways to show one’s creative imagination. Personally, mine has been drawing on a piece of paper with just a pencil and an eraser.
However, both artists have different material practice. Charles Meere created his work by oil on canvas with complex overlapping human composition. It employs the use of all three levels: foreground, middle-ground and background. Conversely, Zahalka arranged her piece in front of a painted backdrop, the figures cannot recede into the space provided and all subjects seem almost at the same compositional level, which reduces the image’s depth. However, the colours used are very vibrant in comparison to Charles Meere’s.
Does he do other types of art works? In his earlier years Julian had mainly done portraits of well-known people and others generally themed around music. Still seen today Julian also paints murals with acrylic paints, oil paintings, replicas of the works of masters and creates collages. Structural frame/ Artist practice What materials does he use, how does he use them? The only materials used in Julian Beever’s art works are chalk and masking tape.
Olumide Adeyekun Group #2 Termite Response to Either Red Ink Pen or Red ink Sharpie Hypothesis: Termites were observed by seeing what ink they preferred, whether it is the ink from a red pen or the ink from a red sharpie. The termites were placed on paper that had drawings in red pen ink and red sharpie ink. They were drawn towards the areas drawn in red ink pen more than the areas drawn in red ink sharpie. The reaction of the termites may be due to the characteristics of the red ink pen and the red ink sharpie. The actual color, the scent and/or the dryness may play a role in the termite’s preference.
Painting consists of just three uncomplicated steps: choosing the color(s), preparing the walls and painting techniques. There is more to painting a room than just picking a “favorite” color. Professionals use a focal point of their decorating to choose their color(s) from. They then use a color equation of three colors. They make a use of 60% primary color, 30% secondary color and 10% accent color.
Art Criticism Task By: YD The painting I chose is by Greg Conley, it’s called “The Path Chosen”. By looking at the painting you can tell that the artist used a lot of different techniques to make it look unique, realistic and attractive. The artist used the technique wet-in-wet to slightly blur the painting. He also used the technique dry brush which is the opposite of the wet in wet technique, for it makes things very crisp and hard edged; this technique makes features come forward. In addition he used the method flat wash which is using one solid color (yellow in this case) from top to bottom.
Similar to brushstroke, the line in Matisse’s painting is very fluid and smooth and creates solid figures by the boundaries between colors. In Kandinsky’s painting the lines are very coarse and random. Also, the spacing in the paintings is very different. In Matisse’s painting, the placement of the people is well balanced and spaced out throughout the painting. In addition, though Matisse’s colors are very flat, he creates space through the
By nature the medium of painting involves the placement of paint on a flat surface. Typically, paintings in prior art movements (such as the Romantic and Realist periods) attempted to hide their medium by presenting an image that carried both depth and the illusion of
During the Renaissance the ‘Disegno’ implied drawing both as a technique to be distinguished from colouring and also as the creative idea made visible in the preliminary sketch, it is defined by the shorter Oxford dictionary as: “The formation of a line by drawing some tracing instrument from point to point of a surface; representation by lines; delineation as distinguished from painting;… the arrangement of lines which determine form.” Despite this insistence on the formation of a line and the implied lack of colour, few would deny that a work formed by dots or shading or wholly in line but in a range of colours is a drawing. The search for a rounder definition leads one to look at the theory of Essentialism, the idea that any piece of artwork has a certain quality to it, or an essence that exists. It is by this very essence - or by having these certain qualities - that something can be called Art. On the other hand, if something does not have these qualities, then it is not Art. With the idea that everything has an essential nature to it, one can infer that it applies as much to the process as to the result, as every idea stems from a primary impulse
