By stepping closer, the texture that is created the by short, thick brushstrokes of paint can be observed. The impasto technique creates a unitary-textured canvas surface with no clear contour of objects. The vagueness makes the painting more fluid and better able to capture the light and air of the landscape. The contrast between the smoothly painted sky and the rough surface makes the focal point on the brightest and most vauge part where the paint is textured and heavily layered. The short brush strokes allow various colors to exist side-by side with little mixing, which together create a vibrant surface and optical mixing of colors.
In addition he used the method flat wash which is using one solid color (yellow in this case) from top to bottom. To give the background the look it has the artist used different shades of green and brown, these colors helped in making the painting more realistic

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.

In both Henri Matisse’s Le Bonheur de Vivre (The Joy of Life) and Vasily Kandinsky’s Sketch I for “Composition VII” the artists use similar techniques/styles in color, but use different techniques when it comes to brushstroke, line, and spacing. Both are outstanding works of art that reflect not only modernism but also the artistic movements that encompass them. They are also more different than alike. Matisse and Kandinsky both use a vibrant color pallet in their paintings, with rich primary colors, and some hints of other rich secondary (and a few tertiary) colors. The colors are used to show different forms and they draw the eye around the paintings.
Olumide Adeyekun Group #2 Termite Response to Either Red Ink Pen or Red ink Sharpie Hypothesis: Termites were observed by seeing what ink they preferred, whether it is the ink from a red pen or the ink from a red sharpie. The termites were placed on paper that had drawings in red pen ink and red sharpie ink. They were drawn towards the areas drawn in red ink pen more than the areas drawn in red ink sharpie. The reaction of the termites may be due to the characteristics of the red ink pen and the red ink sharpie. The actual color, the scent and/or the dryness may play a role in the termite’s preference.
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.
What relation does each thinker believe art has an ultimate reality and what relation might this have to their view of art’s pleasure giving nature. In the readings Aristotle finds art whether it be Music, Dance, Painting or Sculpture representational. He asserts that art is pleasurable because of its characteristics. “It’s purpose is to bring about a catharsis, a purging of the emotions, through the experience of fear and pity.”-Aristotle (pg.27) I feel that Aristotle’s position of art is true from my point of view. I think that there are a lot of artists, including myself that use a representational standpoint.
