It is similar however due to the very neutral colors being used in the painting. There is a lot of while and black and then brown hues, red hues, some yellow hues and some green/blue hues, however they are all very dark in value and it gives a black and white feel to the painting. Another similarity is the perspective. The perspective in the photograph is very similar to that of the painting, where you have the dead men in the foreground and the horizon in the background both having similar vanishing points and points of view. Another similarity is value of the sky and the foreground.
Art Criticism Task By: YD The painting I chose is by Greg Conley, it’s called “The Path Chosen”. By looking at the painting you can tell that the artist used a lot of different techniques to make it look unique, realistic and attractive. The artist used the technique wet-in-wet to slightly blur the painting. He also used the technique dry brush which is the opposite of the wet in wet technique, for it makes things very crisp and hard edged; this technique makes features come forward. In addition he used the method flat wash which is using one solid color (yellow in this case) from top to bottom.
The skillful shading and smooth finish of the petals draw attention to the vibrancy of the flowers. The contrast between the dark shades in the middle of the flower shows the depth & detail to the painting. As an artist she liked to balance the picture in all ways, so that if the painting was to be folded in half, both sides would be about the same. The scale of the painting is amazing. She truly believed in painting the flower close up to show the full detail, instead of painting a flower to the true scale whereas you would only see a tiny flower.
There is also a circle of speakers around him that start at his ears and gradually get bigger as they come away from him. The background is filled with yellow and red design with one big yellow circle at the top middle of the painting. At the bottom left corner there is scribbles of graffiti and lines of red all along the lower half of the painting. Bruce Bailey made his artwork have a very abstract look by choosing the colours and designs he did, and used it throughout the painting which made his work very unique and interesting. Analysis; Bailey used colour and value elements in his painting.
Degas also used very light pastel colors in the background to make the ballerina stand out more in the painting, as well as making her seem like she is letting off light and making the work seem, in general, much more relaxing and carefree. Another famous Impressionist painting done during the eighteen hundreds was Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Bal du Moulin da la Galette. In this painting, there is “a richness of form, a fluidity of brush stroke, and a flickering light.” Many bright colors are also used by Renoir, giving off an air of happiness amongst the people dancing, drinking, and
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
There is also a lack of paint for a majority of her face; the bright white of Margaret’s face is actually the surface of the canvas. The brightness of the white
The girl shown in the picture is also positioned in the back corner and this indicates that she has no authority. This is further demonstrated through the angle the picture is shown which is a high angle shot and this positions her as being weak and inferior. The audience can also see a snail in the corner of the picture, which symbolises how slow her life is going. Also the frame of the bright red leaf shows her hopes for life and this is juxtaposed with the decaying leaves around her, which further emphasizes her low mood. From the visual techniques used there are many ideas communicated to the audience as we can feel a sense of loneliness, depression, and desperation.
The use of cold blue at the planets edge further emphasizes the separation between the two components. While the background color of the sky is mainly black, clever use of irregular gesture lines, soft pastel coloring and natural patterning help to form a sense of movement within the galaxy. This combination helps to promote endless visual depth. Although this is an example of static art, by good use of techniques, coloring and shading Molina has managed to produce the illusion of time, motion and space. From the human, alien and insect element, as well as the surrounding
I love the way it just merges into the flowing clock. Andrea The grey tones in this photograph make the image seem dull and city-like. The focus seems to be in the fore ground but fades out to be out of focus and fades to one tone. I love how the artist has created this with the lighting. This establishing shot creates a strong image of the city and the lifestyle on a dull day.
