In his painting, he used bright and bold colors, such as yellows and purples, to exaggerate the colors of the sky, which also reflects off the water. The large cloud in his painting, instead of appearing smooth and fluffy like a realistic cloud, has finger-like projections coming from the top. Thus giving the painting a more eerie feeling. This also shows how Seurat began experimenting with abstract shapes. Instead of using brush strokes, Seurat used the painting technique Pointillism.
Victor mentions the “sublime shapes of the mountains” in the chapter before the creature kills Elizabeth on their wedding night. This chapter is interesting structurally because it uses sublime settings to restore a sense of ease to Victor, before the next chapter shatters his false sense of security. However, while the use of sublime settings is sometimes used positively to reflect the beauty and power of nature as well as Victor’s mood, it is also used by Shelley to highlight Victor’s isolation – another example of how it is impossible to say whether places or characters are more important because they both co-operate in Gothic literature. Shelley uses the sea in particular as a place that reflects Victor’s anguish, isolation and nature as a tormented Gothic protagonist. At one point Victor states, “I looked upon the sea; it was to be my grave”.
This work is a very colorful one with many different shapes as well. There is a blue horse in the right side of the work and two rainbows along with many other shapes and colors that can be seen as different things. There is also an object in the top left that looks like a moon painted green. There seems to be a few different elements of style used by Marc in this work. The colors definitely are symbolic for different things.
The color of Adam and Eve is white cream, it has good contrast were you can see the shadows. The painting has very good value with the color black makes the darkness of the painting, then the lightness of bodies makes them stand out. The brightness of the angel, Adam, and Eve against the darkness of the background creates the most contrast. Hammel states, “They appear to be lit
Georgia O’Keeffe Georgia O’Keefe paints wispy curved shapes and her use of thin paint and clear colours evokes feelings of mystical silence. Her work is very different to certain aspects of Anna Keay’s work- abstract shapes based on line, colour, light and dark masses, repetition, and some symmetry. It is however smooth and soft like Renoir when he paints his people but hers is no way near as detailed. ‘Red Poppy’ Oil on canvas, 1927 This painting gives a profound impact, mainly because we never look at something so insignificant in such great detail, as it is a large and vivid, persimmon-red shape which shows an extreme close-up of a poppy. I think the original of this piece is supposed to be smaller, but the viewer still sees the flower in a huge perspective because the angle and position from which the painting was created makes the viewer feel like they are very close to the painting anyway.
Their paintings reflected every day scenes and landscapes, often painting on location and in plein-air (the open air). Nature was the main focus of the Impressionists, as was light. They aimed to represent the sensation of light. The brush stroke technique adopted by impressionist was that of short brush strokes of pure colour (they avoided black and brown), also known as the broken colour technique. The paint was often thick and lumpy,
Monet and Van Gogh chose the subject of sunflowers for two of their most famous still life paintings and even though both depict the same type of flower, their painting styles are completely different. Van Gogh was considered to be more post-impressionist than Monet. Van Gogh was also considered to be an expressionist. Van Gogh moved to France and rented a house and began panting seaside landscapes, portraits and the Sunflower series. His paintings reveal his emotions and sensations and are expressionist in nature.
The words were somewhat difficult to understand since this was written in the 1800s. The phrase “when thou art gone, I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear) Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.” Images: Did the poet create strong images? What could you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel? The poet created strong images of the bright, blue sky and the quiet stars. There was solitude that she created with her words that was very powerful.
For example, on page five hundred and sixty-four the tone of this part is ominous because it explains how the candles are faintly seen through the narrators eyes. Characters effect the story tremendously. Without characters the story would need more love. Like in the story, the main characters ties in the tone of the story. On page five hundred and seventy-four, the narrator is about to fall into an abyss; you feel as if he is going to die and the tone is lost in hope for him.
Most of the top half of this painting is the night sky. The sky is mostly dark blue, but gets lighter the farther down you look on the painting. There are clouds going across the sky that are a mixture of a variety of shades of blue and white with sweeping brushstrokes. The clouds are swirling to show a cool night breeze even though you cannot see wind. This also gives the painting an eerie feel.
