He began working with ceramics during his teenage years and soon discovered from experience that the white porcelain he had been painting on highlighted the colours, therefore he eradicated dark bases for his artworks. Renoir mixed his paints on canvas rather than on a palette, as did most impressionists, and used complimentary colours next to each other almost blending however sustaining the broken colour technique. Renoir’s La Grenouillère (oil on canvas) is a typical impressionist artwork, conveying the aims of the movement. He has successfully captured the sunlight falling on the various surfaces of the scene, in particular the sparkle on the water and the light reflecting off of the leaves. There are figures present, however they are not the main focus of this artwork, the main focus is nature.

During the late 1950s to 1960s, the paintings of Mark Rothko and Agnes Martin reflected a relationship of inspiration and generation-descending artistic dialogue. Where Martin’s career was just beginning to flourish, Rothko’s late period was already well established by 1960, with his Seagram murals commissioned and in progress. Both artists are of special interest when looking at abstract expressionism’s engagement with spiritual and material concerns. The following essay will compare and contrast each artist’s engagement with spirituality and materiality in two works: Rothko’s Red on Maroon Mural Section 4 of 1959 (Illustration I) and Martin’s Night Sea of 1963 (Illustration II). I will argue that although the personal lives and backgrounds of Rothko and Martin were quite different, both artists sought out ways to depict similar spiritual concepts through similar manipulation of materiality.

Art Criticism Task By: YD The painting I chose is by Greg Conley, it’s called “The Path Chosen”.

Drawing Fauve style was a new experience, and it allowed me to let go and put all my emotions into the painting, rather than make everything perfect. There were many steps in our big project, and the first step on painting our fauve portrait was to get the proportions right (making sure our eyes were big enough and spaced out enough, looking where our hair starts, how thick our neck should be, how long our nose should be). So we started to do some realistic drawing and sketching to improve our skills. We first sketched with a lead pencil and drew a rough portrait of a person with perfect proportions. Then, we drew another one, but this time it was a self-portrait and we used a mirror to aid us in drawing ourselves.
