Final essay I really enjoyed my humanities course this summer. I started off, with not having a clue about what humanities even was, but now I know more than I would of ever thought. In the beginning, I didn’t really like humanities but as the course went on, I’ve grown a little passion for it. I have learned many things as class went on and I feel safe saying that I am knowledgeable in the study of arts. I’ve learned about the history and the makings of many artists. One of those artists is Leonardo Da Vinci. He was born in April of 1452 and died in May of 1519. One of the things that he was most known for was is tendency to paint Biblical stories and paintings of Jesus. These painting include some of his most popular works

Picasso is known for doing a lot of abstract work. He has great skill when it comes to using shapes to create paintings. For example in his piece The Weeping Woman (1927). This was an oil on canvas. It’s of a man and women with their facial parts mixed together. They look a bit nervous and are staring to the side. What I enjoy about this painting is the color scheme. Picasso has a unique way of putting different colors together in one painting. Another example of when he does this is in the painting Girl before a mirror (1931). This was an oil on canvas painting. It consist of a girls who is looking into a mirror but is seeing something other than herself. In this painting Picasso creates this idea that is really as it seems. Use cold colors like blue, purple and green to show the reflection of the girl in the mirror. The actual girl looking into the mirror is made a warm colors like white, red and yellow. I also like the shape variation of this painting it’s amazing how he is able to put different shape together to make one overall painting. For example, in Le pigeon aux Petits Pois (1911), he put together shapes like Triangles, squares, circles, and rectangle to create a very fait image. It’s hard to see but in the background there is a man and a woman kissing. In the top right corner are the words Café. This painting is an oil on canvas and is 26x21 inches in size. Picasso did not use too many colors in this one as he usually does but he used this other technique of creating a simple background with and abstract foreground. Yet the background still stands out to me. I really enjoyed this
