Jockey Before The Race

Decent Essays
Art and design both have a creative aspect to them. But art and designs principle reasons are completely different. Artists create works of art to tell someone their story without speaking. The elements of art are shape, line texture, it is making line in a canvas. The principles of design are the balance between the weight of objects, color, and texture. If design were a scale it would be even. The work of art called “Jockey Before the Race” uses the principles of design in the placement of the sun. By doing so the viewer knows that the race occurs before noon. The artistic elements in “Jockey Before the Race” are the complementary colors.

    Alex Colville’s piece titled Horse and Train from 1954 depicts a dark horse, viewed from the rear, galloping past the viewer’s right and toward a black train, which emerges from the works horizon to face the viewer. This painting is a gift of the Dominion Foundries and Steel Ltd. and can be found hanging on the walls of the Art Gallery of Hamilton. This piece combines contrasting shapes and lines to aid viewers in imagining the speed of both the horse and train. High-speed objects utilize well-defined lines and smooth shapes while objects such as the slow blowing grass, billowing steam from the train or the approaching storm clouds are created using softer lines and shapes with plenty of visual texture.…

    It is functional and nonfunctional, therefore certain art elements, such as texture and aesthetics give life and meaning or triumph and mischief to one’s artwork. For me, art is expression, and the collection of beauty. I can relate this meaning of art as a collage. These can be words, pictures, and/or drawings. An artist can put in whatever they feel is necessary to add more or less to the collage.…

    The traditional view of art has changed over time just as most things have. Naturally, the act of perception has differed opinions on what society considers as art. Dance, paintings, photography, drawings, music, literature, and sculpting, are what comes to mind when contemplating the aspects of art. The limitation to defining a word so opinionated leaves out room for self-expression. The traditional ideas of what is considered art should be broadened; granted, although not tangible, art can be seen through ambitions, emotions, and expression through appearances when not limited to the customary definition.…

    It is no wonder then, that philosophers of art have proposed numerous theories attempting to define the nature of art, that is, what distinguishes art from anything else in the world. With so many theories that have endeavoured to answer this central question, a consensus has never been reached. Despite their seemingly logical arguments, an explanation of some of the main theories, formalism, expressionism, institutionalism and intentionalism, has shown that each of the theories are vulnerable to counterexamples. Therefore, the hybrid theory suggested, addressed each of the problems found in the theories mentioned in an attempt to design an infallible theory of art. At the present time it seems that this hybrid theory is not subject to any counterexamples.…

    I was fascinated to learn about the elements in Art. I had always thought that art had no organization, guidance or system. I thought that people just painted or drew pretty much whatever they wanted with no apparent rules. The Visual Elements that Getlein mentions on chapter 4 consist of the following; line shape and mass, light, color, texture and pattern and last but not least; time and motion (Getlein, 2012). These elements are intrinsically woven in art!…

    Critical Appreciation of M.H. Abrams’s “Orientation of critical theories” M.H. Abrams’s The Mirror and the Lamp: romantic theories and the critical traditions is one of the most influential books in the field of western criticism. It was published in the year of 1953. The title of the book refers to the two contradictory metaphors used to portray the artist – one comparing the artist to a mirror that reflects nature as it is or perfected whereas the other compares the artist to a lamp that illuminates the object under consideration. Professor Abrams in his book illustrates the transition of the perspective of the theorists on the artist from one to the other and the ramifications of the latter in aesthetics, poetics and practical criticism.…
