The chaos makes the eyes jump around in order to get a full sense of the entire work. When gazing at the top left party of the painting, most of the brushstrokes are horizontal which make the eyes move in a left to right direction, but only momentarily. Once the eyes reach the end of that seeming rhythm across, they commence to jump around again trying seeking to find some other glimpse of pattern or rhythm. It leaves the viewer with a sense of yearning for another flash of order among all the chaos. By: Paola Pinto Works Cited Mitchell, Joan.
What I enjoyed the most from this painting is its great size as well as its variety of objects and figures, which open your mind and allow you to use your imagination. This painting also caught my attention because it is painted in a wall, that has some crack and bumps, which gives you a scary sensation and creates a tense environment. I considered it very interesting because as you get closer to the picture, you find more details that amazes you and adds to your eagerness of knowing the message and the behind it. The message delivered by this painting is very complex, which can be understood in different way, depending on the point of view and perspective. The colors being used are all dark colors, especially green and dark blue that creates a cold, dark, gloomy, negative which work very well in the world of mythology or an unreal world.
Pink is used with different shades on many of the objects in the painting. The rose, make up, calendar, mirror, and blue glass show the individual personality that Marilyn had. The bright color gives the painting life, each color is lively in a way there’s a glow in the painting. The colors schemes are very outgoing and catch the eyes attention. They are complementary colors and the tone of them sets the paintings mood.
Through his subtle use of depth, atmosphere and form, the landscape appears to expand infinitely into space and nature seems to carry out its inevitable cycles to an endless rhythm. Through his expressive use of color, his painting arouses in us an emotional reaction to such sublime powers. It moves us to reflect on our own vulnerability at the mercy of nature, as we long for meaning and struggle to understand its provocative
Color is a big element of Seurat’s painting. George Seurat painting uses the aerial perspective, which gives space, and Seurat’s deeply shadowed foreground that leads into light and bright distance. He uses a technique of dots of pure color to show and achieve maximum luminosity. Primary colors such as green, orange, and purple are used to optically intermingled the spectators eye. The paintings color absorb some of the spectrum and bounce back the rest.
Both art works have a bright and a dark colour. Both paintings are uncommon and that is why people are attracted to observe them. When a person stares at these works he or she is wondering why. Why does this artist use these perfect cycles to express herself? What do these polka dots mean?
The detail in the faces, clothing, and background’s painted was astounding. Along with the vibrant colors, I was amazed by the texture of some paintings. I was simply shocked to discover the many different materials, which could be used to create different hues and textures. Materials that a novice, like myself, would have never considered useable, such as; oil on canvas, wood, automotive bonding compound and gold paint used by Lorenzo Scott in painting “Reunion in Heaven” (of the House of Prayer Children). Mud and sugar or syrup with paint on plywood as in “Woman with Glasses” by Jimmy Lee Sudduth, who collected and used earth pigments in a way that recalls prehistoric painters who’s subtle and sophisticated depictions of game animals adorn the caves of Southwestern Europe.
The first piece is “Flora Brasiliensis #165” and this was done by Bob Nugent. The next piece is “Where There’s Smoke,” by Linda Nugent. In the first piece watercolor, gouache, and conte were used, these elements make the piece very beautiful and colorful. The second piece is a black and white drawing made with charcoal and various pencils on vellum, this makes a beautiful scene. Although, these two works may be very different, they still have many elements in common.
Point of view is used to put readers in hooks‘ perspective to better understand her concept. By looking at this one learns the different outcomes that come out of “black rage”. Hooks uses other people’s ideas as examples to describe the ‘Black Rage’ and make a connection to the effects of it. This is shown in the quote,“ Significantly, contemporary reinterpretations and critiques of Malcolm X seek to redefine him in a manner that strips him of rage as thought this were his greatest flaw. Yet his “rage” for justice clearly pushed him towards greater and greater awareness.” (hooks, 19) This is implying that Malcolm X’s rage fueled him to accomplish great things and by using this example of Malcolm X, hooks helps the reader understand to a fuller extent the effects of Black rage.
The most important is a story. I feel like I should be able to look at the painting and see a past and a future. In the painting “The Allegory of Peace and War”, for example, I can look into the eyes of the man and woman and see their personal objectives. It’s an amazing talent to be able to capture such emotion and power in a painting through someone’s eyes. I know every time I attempt to draw a pair of eyes, one is always excessively larger than the other.
