Sonia Delaunay Delaunay-trek, Sonia (born November 14, 1885, Gradizhsk, Ukraine, Russian empire [now Ukraine]-died December 5, 1979, Paris, France. Russian painter, illustrator, and textile designer who was a pioneer of abstract art in the years before World War I. Delaunay grew up in St. Petersburg. She studied drawing in Karlsruhe, Germany, and in 1905 moved to Paris, where she was influence by the postimpressionists and fauvists (a loose group of early twentieth century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and it is a French word for the wild beasts). She married the artist Robert Delaunay by which time she was painting the style known as Orphism, which involved the melodious combinations of pure colors. She used different kind of materials in her artwork for example unique gouache, tracing paper, unique colored crayon and pencil on paper, original woven wool, original gouache and pochoir on paper and some other materials I didn’t mention.

Self-Portrait as Wunderkabinett By: JULIE HEFFERNAN Oil painting 82 x 58 inches Describe: Julie Heffernan used oil crayons to paint Wunderkabinett. She used a variety of different soft and dark colors within the painting. This portrait takes place in mid 1900s Victorian ball room; the room is dark green with gold trimmings on the top of the room, and it has a similar Michelangelo, Sistine Shapel painting on the ceiling. In the center of the large room is a chandelier hanging down from the ceiling with a variety of colored balls spilling out from the chandelier and landing on the floor. The chandelier stretches halfway down the room, with many birds flying around the chandelier from the bottom right side, curving around the chandelier, and ending up on the upper left hand corner.
(Brian 1967, p. 6) 2. Select one work by this graphic designer and discuss the following. Using at least three of the design elements and three of design principles to describe how they have been used in your chosen design. [pic] Alphonse Mucha designer Czech 1860- 1939 La Danse Design date: 1898 Lithograph in twelve colours, gold and silver 56 x 34 cm Signed Mucha 98 bottom right On Satin RR URL: http://www.prints.muchafoundation.org/image/818257/alphonse-marie-mucha-the-arts-dance-1898 The above information was retrieved from the book: The Graphic work of Alphonse Mucha (Jiri & Marina 1973, p. 110) ❖ 3 Elements Lines Art Nouveau was one of the first styles to use lines as design elements. In this painting, Mucha uses a thick outline to surround the figure and thin lines to provide detail inside it.
In comparing Cimabue’s Madonna Enthroned with Angels and Prophets and Giotto’s Madonna Enthroned, the artists’ main idea of painting Mary enthroned is same, however the form used for the subject matter differs. The most important thing to note is that both artists paint with a Gothic and Byzantine style with their characteristics of a gold background and noticeable halos. When contrasting these two pieces of art, the main difference is the placement of the figures in each painting. In Cimabue’s painting, the angels are depicted around the throne with each row at different levels. This causes the angels to appear as if they are stacked on top of one another, unlike Giotto’s painting.
This method is when the artist takes scraps or leftovers from other materials or projects and puts them on their sculpture. The Katsina is constructed of many different objects that make it become a whole and to look just as Garcia had planned. Some of the objects used were cat whiskers, feathers, yarn, toothpicks, and leather. Katsina has some great composition that Garcia expresses very adequately.
The 2D art I chose is a print advertisement which is full of elements which are all made up of doodles or drawings. The most outstanding element in the poster is obviously the bottle of Absolut Vodka. Aside from the bottle, there is also the text, “ABSOLUT WATKINS - Traveler’s Exclusive: Spiced Coffee and Almond Flavored Vodka.” There is also a drawing of a beautiful girl inside the vodka. A blue cloud and a brownish moon can be spotted outside the bottle. And also the tall buildings, vintage luggages, cup of drink with ice cubes and mixer inside, a tiny globe, a bent flower, a small plane, and at the bottom, a spicy chili is placed.
Polished rose travertine stone line the rotunda, lobby and halls on the first floor. As you enter the rotunda you will notice the state seal embedded on the floor. The seal and Pioneer were sculpted by Ulric Ellerhausen. The rotunda walls are covered with four murals that represent pieces of Oregon history. The senate is on the left side of the building and the house is on the right.
The royal Egyptian art was mostly crafted in a two dimensional twisted perspective. delicate patterns and symbols were used all over the pallete, statues and scupltures. Every little details on the artworks have their own meanings such as the god and godess, the ancester of the pharaohs. Animals like bulls, lions and cats are widely used to symbolize sacred deities. The art were mostly preserved very well due to the materials used were meant to last.
While printmaking allows for mass diffusion of these physical impressions converted into vast expressions, sculpture allows for a singular morphing of the space that the cultivated stone may inhabit. The abstract and subtle aspects of drawing and painting are still poignantly embedded within engravings and etchings but unlike pigmentation, printmaking touches different aspects of perception that often cuts through layers of image preference or bias. Monotype is a prime example of printmaking that fuses elements of the two-dimensional methodologies of art. Edgar Degas’s Ballet Master penetrates intrigue and intelligence while drawing upon the ghostlike aberrations that make up the foreground performing artists. Depth and tonal gradations are hallmarks of the printmaking process.
