Another thing that can be said to have influenced him would be his teacher at Goldsmiths, University of London in 1983 Michael Craig-Martin is a contemporary conceptual artist and painter. Julian Opie’s style that we can see in his portraits for example is a very simplistic thick black lines to outline the face and clothing of the subject, the eyes and nostrils are simply black dots where they would normally be and yet the portrait is recognizable as the person it is portraying, another thing about his style is the flat colour that is used in his portraits Due to Julian Opie’s distractive graphic style becoming recognized by people from around the world, it is now being used in many different forms that have ranged from billboards in New York to LED screens and more. The work that Julian Opie has created over the years has been exhibited both nationally and internationally in both solo exhibitions where only his work is featured as well as in group…
Across the centuries, the natural world has been utilized in countless different artistic efforts to convey a general philosophy or social idea. Whether it’s used to find truth in the world or oneself, or to take a break from the over- industrialized, anxiety driven-earth, people have sought out nature to find the path of which they are intended to follow- obtaining the complete knowledge of the natural world, or the deep interconnectedness of all things. Fan Kuan’s ink on silk painting, “Travelers Among Mountains and Streams,” made in 1000 C.E., and Jacob Van Ruisdael’s oil on canvas painting, “Edge of a Forest with a Grainfield,” made in 1656, exemplify these concepts beautifully. In Fan Kuan’s Travelers Among Mountains and Streams,…

The Burchfield Penney Art Center has a variety of art pieces on display. Each art piece is creative, and unique qualities that are rare to find in the other pieces of art. One piece of art that stood out to me was “The Entry Of Christ Into Manhattan”, which was created by Edith Lunt Small in 1982. This painting has a lot of bright colors, and a vast amount of things going on. There are angels,jesus, drag queens, peace signs, etc.…
Cameron Davidson Associate Professor Karen Werner Music of America 28 September 2015 Paper #1: R. Carlos Nakai and Native American Music The field of Native American music is an interesting one. For myself, I have never heard much Native American music, but I have seen the rituals and dances that they perform in movies, most of them in history classes in my past. There is one person that I had never heard of before taking Music of America. That man is R. Carlos Nakai.…
This is exemplified in his use of oil paints. As a result, Miguel Cabrera was able to paint in a variety of textures and he provided another level of sensory awareness to viewers. An individual can clearly distinguish the velvet on the chair, the satin robe and underskirt, leather gloves, and lace-lined shirt. Color is an important factor in this painting as well. The dark background is highlighted by the rich colored walls and the curtain provides a direct contrast to the bright color red.…
The artists that have inspired me the most so far in my work are Anselm Kiefer, the Chapman brothers and Monet. I first came across Anselm Kiefer and Monet when doing the painting module of our project; although Kiefer is more of a mixed media artist; I had been aware of their work previously however. I came across the Chapman brothers in one of our art history lectures and thought it could be quite interesting to see how their landscapes compare to the more classical painted landscapes. Monet was one of the forefront artists during the impressionism movement in the late nineteenth century. Monet rejected the classical styles of painting and took on his own much more expressive style choosing to enhance the colours he saw which make his work…
The article, “Photography and Photography and the New God” was written by an American photography named Paul Strand. He began photography under the watchful eye of Lewis Hine in 1907. Hine introduced Strand to the work of the Photo-Secession. In 1911, he became an independent photographer and broke with the Impressionist style of Secession.…
Paul Gauguin was a prominent figure for the French avant-garde. His career was teeming with work that was much different to the previous Impressionists. His Post-Impressionist art showed new explorations of color. These discoveries had vast reviews from art critics– mainly after his passing in May of 1903. Gauguin studied and practiced numerous techniques during his investigations.…
This means that we can make sense of the work because of the ideas, thoughts and memories that we already hold, "the way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe" (BERGER, J., 1972. Ways of Seeing. U.K.: Penguin, p. 8). His work is mostly blacks, whites, and neutrals, with the odd subdued colour making an appearance too. This is arguably reminiscent of eras gone by, with signals to old analogue photography, film noir and such.…
The elements used to describe Three Musicians by Pablo Picasso include line, shape, color, and value. This picture displays many irregular lines. This is done to display a picture straying from the ordinary image one would have of musicians. The lines mainly appear organic, like the line in the face of the middle musician because he is not proportionate and the instrument the left musician is playing. Shape can be seen both organic and geometric in this image to unite the musicians together.…
In John Berger’s essay, “The Suit and the Photograph,” Berger did a superior job at describing the difference between each photograph and their meanings behind them. He used a type of approach that I wasn’t familiar with at first, but it then became clear and was successful at doing so. Berger begins by talking about the photographer August Sander, who is responsible for taking the three photos that were discussed in the essay. He mentions that although there are obvious differences between the photos, there are noticeable similarities as well. One of the main similarities is their expression on their faces and the look in their eyes.…

If they do not think of one of the colleagues as a friend they may address them formally. However, other colleagues may not be comfortable with this kind of formality and may prefer a warmer, friendlier style.…
