The artwork that I chose to describe for the stylistic characteristic of softened arhitectual is called Salon De La Princesse. Softened Arhtaectual falls under the stylistic period of Recoco. Germain Boffrand and others who helped with painting and decorating in the year 1737-1740 designed salon De La Princesse. This artwork can be found on page 584 of the textbook. The houses built for Recoco gathering were meant for the rich and powerful, so the interior was delightfully decorated, but plain on the exterior.…
While comparing Diane Meyer’s art pieces. I have noticed that she sews the different elements and objects displayed on the piece. How she uses the different colors in the sewing yarn helps represent the image in a great light. She seems to use pictures that represent experiences she has had in life, with pictures that may have or not come out the way she wanted.…

My inspiration for my art piece was “Minoan Queens”, better know as the “Ladies in Blue. “Ladies in Blue” is a Minoan fresco painting that was discovered in fragments during the excavation of the Palace of Knossos in Crete, Greece. To be more specific, it was Buon fresco, or “true fresco”. It was 61½ inches by 40 inches and it is thought to have been created around 1525-1450 B.C. As we have learned in class, this Cretan palace was full of murals and fresco paintings. Like many Minoan paintings, this piece exhibits profile views but frontal-facing eyes and eyebrows.…
The Bashi-Bazouk painting illustrates one of the Ottoman Empire soldiers represented by a model. The painting illustrates a black Turkish man wearing a dress with a turban, and also carrying objects that can be described as a musical instrument and a weapon. The author painted his model taking into consideration every detail of the setting. For example, the exquisite embroidery of the soldier’s sleeves on his dress and also the sheen of the ivory of his musical instruments. Moreover, it can be seeing the stiffness of the illustration of a soldier who has a brutal behavior because as it is described by the history of this type of ottoman soldier they were undisciplined bandits who were irregular soldiers of the Ottoman Army, meaning…
After looking for so long at the two very different pieces of art I understood that there is no way these can be compared. The website Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton is a website where people open themselves to the world to who they are, to how they feel and what do they make of themselves. The photo of the person is there to just go with the story, some visual for others to see. Each story gives a sound of hope for the future no matter what is the present or the past was. These stories can unite people and maybe help readers deal with their personal problems.…
the two previously stated methods of implied depth, “the effect of overlap is strengthened by diminishing size, which gives a sense of increasing distance between each of the shapes,” or in this case figures within the work (45). We can see this method being used when observing the way the figures in the painting are spaced out, overlapped, and made smaller or larger depending on their location on the canvas. The visual elements of Paolo’s work are clearly seen; however, it might take a more careful eye to uncover the principles of design displayed in this composition. There is a clear sense of unity along with the element of variety seen in the depiction of shepherds and others crowding around the newborn Savior.…

1 INTRODUCTION Stefan Sagmeister is a world famous artist specializing in graphic design, typography, interactive and environmental art (Stefan Sagmeister 2017). He uses his art to confront many controversial topics and allows his audiences to take part in his art. We will be able to see Sagmeister's causes and design strategies by looking at a few key Marxist theories such as how two opposites cannot exist without one another and how we place ourselves in our social structure relative to others. We will do this by using his artworks Everybody always thinks that they are right, Obsessions make my life worse but my work better, and The happy show. 2 RESEARCH AND VISUAL ANALYSIS Firstly we have figure 1, Everybody always thinks that they are…
Katach (“form and design”) is the Japanese word that best translates the concept of “art”. A word which implies that “art is synonymous with living, functional purpose, and spiritual simplicity” (Walkup). Zen Art is by its nature spiritual as it was “done not by professional artists, but by Zen monks and nuns who spent extremely disciplined lives of meditation, in a search for enlightenment and awakening to the true nature of reality”(Sweet). The core foundation of the art-form is the belief that the true character as well as the level of spiritual realization of the monk or nun were transposed into the painting itself. The painting style employed in Katach was very quick and evocative, as its main focus was on the inherent nature of the aesthetic…
