Renoir makes the trees and party decorations in the background stand out easily by painting in light colors such as white, blue, and green and having them contrast beautifully with the dark clothing of the people. The sunlight is also contrasted with the clothing, almost making it so that the viewer can picture the ambience at that moment. The third painting, La Promenade, painted by Claude Monet, is one of the most famous Impressionist paintings of this time period. Only blue, green, brown and other natural colors are used in this entire painting, giving the viewer’s a feeling of quietness and comfortableness. Also, the lady with the umbrella occupies most of the space of the canvas, signaling that she is the main focus of the work.
The daughter is just the same, but her big, bluish eyes really accentuate her youthfulness. The colors all work together to unify the painting. The artist creates a background of earth-tones to highlight the golden-red of the woman’s dress and the white of the daughter’s dress pops against the red drawing focus to the young subject. Light is very present in the artwork. The brightness of the painting brings the viewer’s gaze to the pale-skinned woman and her child and really highlights the features in their face, such as their rosy cheeks.
“Nothing like that” (689). The Tinker, being the salesman that he is, finds away to soften her when he spots the chrysanthemums. “What’s them plants ma’am?” (690) Elisa is overjoyed with this outside interest in her flowers. When the he notices the flowers it’s like he notices her now too. She is connected to the chrysanthemums.
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,
* “dying orchids on the floor beside her bed” pg 151 quote * Daisy was in a fog and she did not know what to do without Gatsby. * The beauty of the orchids had gone away now and they were “dying” because the happiness of her evening came and went so quickly like the life of the orchids. Body Paragraph 3: TRS: The white petals of a daisy signify purity which is similar to the pureness of sprit signified by the white outfits that Daisy wears. (need to clean up) TS: The name Daisy given to Gatsby’s true love is significant because outwardly she appeared to be worthy of his love but inwardly she was not
If the painting were to be cut in half we would be able to see approximately the same amount of lilies on one side as well as the other. This would also be true for the young native girl, the way her feet are positioned and the extension of her arms allows to see how symmetrical the painting is. The painting also has many organic lines and shapes; the massive flowers have curved lines and are two-dimensional. On the other hand the stems of the lilies have vertical lines, the vertical lines make our eyes look up at the large lilies. On the other hand the scale and proportion of the lilies are not accurate to reality.
I love the painting, The Birth of Venus, by Sandro Botticelli. I like the innocence of the figures. They are painted very simply. The simplicity adds beauty to the painting. I have an interest in Greek mythology, and I like to see how stories are brought to life through pictures.
In the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", the author, Charlotte Perkins, does an excellent job of painting a picture of the main character. She is a young woman who seemingly appears to be suffering from postpartum depression. Her illness gives her intuition into her and other female's situation in marriage and in society, even as the treatment she undergoes cheats her of her sanity. This is a reality in today's world and this character is easy to relate
The colors blend well together, yet he is able to distinguish each individual shape by the different shades, allowing the painting to still seem realistic. The shadows created are positioned just right that also are realistic, that although the viewer cannot see the sun (light source) in the painting, they are able to approximate exactly where it is outside of the painted scene. Gifford uses sfumato as a major lighting technique, which creates a haziness that is calming to the reader. This haziness is still able to portray a natural light throughout his painting. The natural light is coming from mainly the top right of the painting, and is able to light the background of the painting, as well as the very front of the foreground.
I chose to write about Mary Cassatt’s works of art because I like the balance and colors in her paintings. I liked the subject matter she chose, like mothers and children and everyday life. I also liked the fact that she never gave up on a career in art , even when
