    Joan Mitchell’s Chamonix 1962 painting appears to be a mess at first glance; paint violently pushed across canvas, no focal point and seemingly just no point to this piece. However, by giving a name to this abstract mess, we are able to begin to use our imagination to begin to see shapes take form to see that Mitchell has made an abstraction of a French mountain and it is our job as a viewer to use our minds to make a story of her canvas. Mitchell’s 200 by 217.2cm canvas overtakes your vision the second you step in front of it. As you stare at all the paint splattered in the middle of the painting, you begin to notice that it’s not just a mess of paint. Mitchell didn’t do a ‘Jackson Pollock’ and slap paint on the canvas.…

    Dickerson combined his incorporeal-like portraits with dark streetscapes to create a landscape that brings a menacing and unwelcoming presence. Similarly, Olsen and Dickerson use colours from dark, contrasting, natural, primary and muted colour palettes that are appropriate to what they wanted to convey through their artworks. Vibrant, saturated, bold and vivid colours are heavily used in both artworks to break up different elements and to interest and appeal to the observer. The identity of Sydney and Australia has impacted Olsen’s and Dickerson’s perspective of the world around them and their personal visual language and painting…

    “Oh right….Well, did you know that Grant Wood came across this house in August of 1930 on a car ride which he was very mesmerized by the Gothic style of the house. He then started painting the house on a piece of cardboard. In his very first sketch, he drew male and female figures, with the man actually holding a rake. By doing this, it almost portrays a certain status that was held in society at that time. “ Anna “Wow. Impressive.”…

    Shinnors’ painting “The Southill Salomé” (Fig 2-7, 1982) is an example of what Dunne described as his early “super-realist” level of representation. On examining the picture, it is clear that the virtuoso painting techniques, which Shinnors currently employs were not yet evident; there are no signs, for example, of his signature scumbles, impasto or sgrafitto which we have come to associate with his mature style. Present instead are the tropes of illusionistic rendering - wet on dry painting, gradients, subdued brushwork, chiaroscuro, and trompe l’oeil.…

    William Kentridge’s style is easily apparent through his many works highlighted in Drawing in Passing with rather signature features. The medium, movement, texture, and the very nature of the work build upon each other to create a very unique result. The medium of choice is charcoal, both brushed and drawn. The light, fast flourishes of the brush and the swift flicks of his wrist create a fluidity through each piece, even in individual still frames. The fact that it is animated adds to this effect.…

Both artists depict still life, and both use oil paint on canvas as their medium. Their art making practises echo each other however their works depict very little similarity. While Kalf’s paintings aim to achieve the illusion of a third dimension and depict life in an exact replica onto canvas, Matisse aims to provoke emotion, using simplistic representations of life, manipulating planes to reflect his own perceptions and ideas.…

    Throughout this course I have gained more of an appreciation for artwork and the artists that create them. I have also gained an appreciation for the people that try to define what art is in general or more specifically what makes good art. We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their thought with our class, I feel I am in a much better place as to define what makes good art myself. I define art as anything created by someone that inspires another to appreciation.…
