Research Paper On Plexiglas

Improved Essays
The first thing I see is it’s blue color. It is illuminated through many panels of Plexiglas and gives me the feeling of mysterious and calm. The second thing I noticed is that the sculpture itself has an abstract concept. The broken Plexiglas signifies the sharp edges of the ice and the more dangerous, mysterious side of an iceberg, but the light in the middle calms that feeling and instead, reflecting the pureness and the peacefulness of the ice. Plexiglas are 2D, but stacking it and making a sculpture makes it 3D. Ice, a frozen form of water, consists of that only component, but inside the ice, water forms different pattern, different lines, or even contains imagination inside. These altogether forms a sculpture with sharp contrast and

    The artist uses complementary colors that tug equally at the eye. She uses a dynamic contrast of red and green to two of the shapes. Due to this, the artist keeps the viewers eyes from resting on one area of the composition for far too long. In this painting, Dorothea uses value contrast to show the differences in dark and light.

    He describes this as “one of the most thrilling exhibitions he has ever installed”. This highlights the sense of marvel and discovery that he felt from this exhibition. In addition to this, in the video he talks about how he feels that an artist knows on when they hit on something and that unless they have that feeling they can’t go on. He also states that, “you can do a lot of things here that you can’t in a museum’. From both of these things, Chihuly’s intuition for forms are expressed.…

    The sculpture Triad of King Mycerinus and Two Goddesses, which resides at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, was excavated from The Temple of Mycerinus in Giza and was created between 2548 - 2530 BCE, during the reign of Mycerinus. Made from greywacke, an incredibly coarse, dark sandstone, this sculpture uses variation in texture, incorrect scale, and line to draw attention to King Mycerinus in relation to the two divinities, and thus is an example of royalty as divinity. Overall, this sculpture depicts the goddess of the Hare Nome, the goddess Hathor, and the King Mycerinus (in that order from left to right), all carved from a single block of greywacke. Additionally, this is an example of a high relief sculpture, meaning that the sculpture is…

    The Scream Poem Analysis

    “The Scream” I really like this painting because somehow it involves mystery and insecurity and to my eyes, the rare views in it reflect a sense of how deep the feelings and thoughts of a person can be. In addition, the fact that the composition does not allow viewers to appreciate the face of the screaming person, is what has drawn me to it. Even though it seems to be that it was a lovely afternoon for everyone, it seems that it was not for the scared looking person. Although two boats are seen on the lake and two people walking very pleasingly behind, the scared looking person seems to be astonished and perhaps confused toward something. Hence, looking at this mysterious individual posing his hands on his face with his mouth open has given me the impression that he or she is appreciating something non real that no one else is able to notice; no one but him.…
