Right Bird Left Visual Analysis

Improved Essays
Right Bird Left is a painting that primarily used four of the visual elements to show and display a different meaning of the painting. This is a painting that used implied texture, which was accomplished by the way the artist worked on the brush strokes. The strokes created an idea that there were textures that were actually on the painting, even though they were not there. I think that it was good that Krasner made the strokes look different with the brush and changed the way it looked because it gives the painting a little more realistic feeling. The feathers do not look completely real, but the texture gives it a better feeling and meaning of them being true feathers. It also used lines to create form and shape. The way the painting was structured allowed different lines to create the shape that was being produced. I believe that these two visual elements worked together to give the painting the feeling of having an actual feather being present throughout the picture. In the painting, color was the visual element …show more content…
I enjoyed the ability to find a piece of work that had more meaning to me than I would have ever found out first. The content within Right Bird Left helped me gain a new understanding of what it is like to truly appreciate a piece of artwork. The artist, Lee Krasner spent a lot of time on this painting and it is truly evident. I was able to find meaning by interpreting things in the artwork, like the visual elements and the principles of design that were used throughout the picture. I never would have expected for me to be able to draw something out of a picture that looked like a bunch of random feathers, but it gave me a great message of not being afraid to be different. You don 't always have to be like everyone else that you surround yourself with. This painting showed me that it is acceptable for me to be a unique

    Color: The painting has a combination of complimentary colors that give the piece a warm look. For instance, the yellow and orange provides light to the composition and also add a visual depth to it because both colors reflect the scheme of a peaceful night. In addition, the blue in the sky beautifully portrays harmony throughout the painting, and the black in the background perfectly contrasts with the blue in the sky and the circled white brush strokes…

    The application of color and paint in a piece creates a noticeable surface texture within the work. This surface texture can be used to enhance the general chaos or conversely the straightforwardness of a work. The use of color within the image also has an effect on the overall mood of the painting and the viewer’s perception of the subjects. In Claude Monet’s Grainstacks (Snow Effect) the heavily textured surface of the painting and visibility of the separate brush strokes creates a sense of complexity, which along with the practice of keeping colors separate, adds to the visual depth of an otherwise very plain subject but still enforces the general mood of the painting. On the other hand in Kingstein’s Christ in a Pawn Shop the surface texture…

    Considered by many to be the, “Most talented Rapper of his Generation,” Kendrick Lamar has become extremely influential and popular since the release of his hit album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (Stone). It is this great influence around which his second and most recent album, To Pimp A Butterfly, is based. Throughout the album Lamar struggles in dealing with his wealth and influence: each song is a slow progression from an abusive, wealthy consumer to a wiser man who understands the good he can do with his power and influence. At the beginning of his album, Lamar blatantly abuses his power: he is a carless, all consuming “caterpillar” (Mortal Man).…

    We often take the little things for granted when we communicate. Body language in verbal communication, kerning in written communication, and composition in artistic expression. These missed queues aren’t typically a deathblow to the message being communicated. Instead, it’s rather rare that these errors are obvious to an untrained eye unless they point out something painfully obvious, such as bad kerning turning “click” into “click.” In a recent visit to the Florence County Museum, the watercolor “At the Wedding” and it’s study composed by American artist Alfred Hutty demonstrates how subtle changes in composition can influence the perception of a piece.…
