It’s not recognized by everyone as a serious art form but personally I have always found great inspiration, drama and beauty in the world of fashion” -Bold and uniquely graphic style -work focuses on the portrait, in abstraction and elegance. Stark contrast, fractured space, and meticulous mark-making are a few elements present in her work. This Barcelona based illustrator's drawings are collages of deconstructed portraits and pencil-drawn and Pantone black monochromatic patterns collaged together creating works for fashion, editorial and high-end magazines as well. -I like how Anna Higgie ensures the pencil sketched image is explicitly to the forefront of her illustrations as you can almost feel the texture of the lead against the paper. Her images though softly outlined are graphic and veer towards mixed media art in places.
In the book, Girl with a Pearl Earring written by Tracy Chevalier, art plays a big role, because throughout the book both of the main characters help each other through their artistic abilities. Throughout the book, Griet’s master, Johannes Vermeer, learns a lot of new information from his maid, which helps him improve his paintings for the better. One day, Johannes Vermeer was painting a picture of his patron’s wife, and as Griet was doing her duties in the studio, she found one change that she would like to do in the painting. She waited for her master, to make the change in the picture, but he didn’t, so Griet “decided she would have to make change herself” (Chevalier 133). Griet thought that if she made the change it would make the picture more interesting and better.
She inspires me from her bold, bright and profound artworks that are so characteristically distinguishable as being her style that they are hard to be mistaken as someone else’s work, this sense of identity through style is incredibly intriguing as a way of expressing ones individuality. The particular piece that I have selected entitled ‘morning wishes’ I find to be a hauntingly beautiful, dark and nostalgic depiction of childhood memories, growth and acceptance. Unlike many of her other art pieces ‘morning wishes’ is not painted using spray paint but instead with acrylic paints. The rather unusual use of media by Pasquini is a statement in itself. A statement about identity through personal history.
In the art world people compare the works of art by comparing the style, subject matter, shape, space, color schemes, movement and even the balance. The most important part to them however is what message the work of art portrays. In Mary Cassatt’s piece, “Maternal Caress”, the style of the piece is realism. She shows a mother caressing a child. This style is partially easy to point out because of the humans structured in the piece.
In this essay I am going to examine two paintings by the same artist JD Ferguson; 'The Pink Parasol' and the ‘Hat with Bird'. The theme of these paintings is women and the women that I have chosen seem to be elegant due to their posture and clothing. In this essay I will discuss the visual elements most predominate in these paintings which, in my opinion, are colour, tone and texture, I will also compare and contrast the images and choose my favourite of the two paintings. JD Ferguson was the first of four children and attended the Royal High School. Although he briefly trained as a Naval Surgeon, Ferguson soon realised that his ambition was painting and he spent some time travelling in Spain, Morocco and France to develop his artistic knowledge and experience.
She is also declaring her womanhood and taking pride in the fact that she can enjoy the life she has been given and she is showing this through painting her nails with such a versatile color.

Lastly, many women turned to portraiture, genre painting, landscape and still life. For example, Rosa Bonheur made her reputation by specializing in the popular field of animal painting, whereas the American painter Mary Stevenson Cassatt dedicated his art to children. Many female artists were closely associated with successful male artists as their pupils, models, or daughters. Firstly, many of them enjoyed a significant degree of public acclaim in this period like Berthe Morisot, whose acceptance into avant-garde circles was facilitated by her close relationship with Manet, her brother-in-law, for whom she also posed on several occasions. Lastly, female artists were also promoted by the Society of Women Artists established in London in 1850s, the Paris Salon where American Elizabeth Jane Gardner was the first artist to exhibit in 1866 and the École des Beaux-Arts which opened its doors

Victoria Finlay Color for artists is the most important tool for their artwork in expressing beauty. The chapters “White” and “The Paintbox”, from Victoria Finlay’s book “Color”, presents more similarities than the differences.

The author evidence in supporting her ideas is by narrating stories.
