Although the flowers are asymmetrical, the artist has tried to create an element of balance by placing them almost at the middle of the painting, and through the mixing of intense and dark colors. This makes the flowers to stand out clearly in the painting. The artist uses a variety of colors to make the painting beautiful and reduce a sense of monotony (Buster and Crawford 31). The viewer is looking at the flowers from a distance thus their medium size. This brings the effect of realism generated by the painting.
In contrast, the diction he uses in describing the painting of the river is far more striking and illustrative. The river “curl[s] around the bend”(24), and the sky is “blue” and “cloud-ruffled”(25), the trees are “dense”(28), and the boat is “small, green” and “flat-bottomed”(28-29). Almost like the painting itself, this description creates a more vivid image of the river. The painter has seen the river for himself, and because of this experience, he is able to create a more realistic interpretation of the river than Collins can imagine. These lifelike details are what allow Collins to lose himself in the painting, as if it were reality.
The unique texture used by Rothko helps the painting look dynamic and expressive. Unlike Mondrain, whose rectangles have sharp edges and even color, Rothko made the edge of his rectangles blurry, and the density of color uneven. It is easy to discover that the picture plane of White and Greens in Blue is built up by layers and layers of small brush strokes, and the brush marks are sometimes dense and sometimes sparse. This indicates that Rothko paints in a very spontaneous way. For example,
The H2O’s positive charge is attracted to the other molecule’s negative charge. The water droplets on the window trickle down into one big water drop during a rainy day. This is an example of cohesion. Water droplets’ cohesive properties attract the surrounding droplets, allowing them to form one giant drop. Cohesion is very beneficial for plants to move water up their xylem.
I have chosen to interview Impressionist painters Claude Monet and Edgar Degas because this type of painting is my favorite style. The paintings, of that period, are very light, airy, with brush strokes in a feathering fashion that were often done en plein air, which translates to “in the open air”. Both Monet and Degas were considered founders of impressionism, although Degas “rejected the term, and preferred to be called a realist” (Gordon 31). These two painters are, in my opinion, the best of the period. Mr. Monet, what is your definition of “pure impressionism”.
This is very evident in Water Lilies - because through out the whole painting - you can see that many of the colors are mixed with either a different shade of the same color, or a different color entirely. The consistency of oil paint is also very beneficial
Matisse likes round, generous forms, tenderness, and the joy of being alive, while Picasso is aggressive, energetic, a passionate Mediterranean. But of course one is older and wiser and the other younger and controversial. Let us look at Matisse’s “Red fish and sculpture” and Picasso’s “Still life with a skull.” Both are paintings of the artist’s studio. Matisse is all happy colors and round forms. Tranquility is the main feeling.
Dali communicates his message of time and how it is slowing down by using symbolism, juxtaposition and colour. This artwork can be read as a landscape, a still life and a self portrait highlighting Dali’s tour de force. Dali has been influenced by Luis Buñuel, Garcia Lorca and Paul Eluard. Although this painting is small the careful detail that has been placed into it makes this artwork captivating. In the background a peaceful morning has been painted contrasting with the unrealistic foreground.
It was not chaotic or in a jungle or forest setting like in Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart. The dominant natural elements are the orange trees, pond, water, animals, reptiles, plants. They were given a central place because they made up the elements for a natural, wildlife environment. The artificial elements are the ground, rocks in and around the pond, the frog statue in the pond, the benches, feeder, trashcans, and the bridge. Their inclusion was intentional and desirable to make the environment look more natural for the animals and visitors.
This means that the dew on the ground helps to create all of those things. It makes the poem more mysterious; the reader doesn’t know what will come up next. Attitude- The attitude of this poem is strong and exciting. The feeling of the words, when you read them, seems very strong, such as “green vine angering for life” and the “lightning colors”. It is exciting also; due to the reference of the alligator and the fire.
