create this using oil on canvas. I think this was a great choice because with the use of harsh brush strokes and lighting the impressionist style really became apparent. Raffaelli really stood out as an artist because of how he executed his contemporary art. Nothing was idealized or made to seem better than it was; he chose topics that were relevant to the times and depicted them in a relatable way. This piece stood out to me because I feel as though even though only two men are being shown, we…

his god. His lapis eyes are the first thing people spot because the black outline and the bright blue of the lapis make them stand out. The artist must have made the eyes the focus point because they are looking upward to the gods. Meaning that this art is specifically made with the god in mind. The man has a round face with pointy elf like ears and pointed nose. Despite the eyes and nose, there is one part of him that stands out, his smile. His mouth…

the style drip painting. In 1930, the beginning of the depression, he moved to New York City and studied under Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League. During this time, he got the lasting impression of the use of paint and great independence.

compositions, forms, work of works, as well as colors. Formal analysis is not necessarily means how the viewer see the world but the way he or she goes through the work of art. The color also signifies in making connections among senses of configurations and movements.

At the end, Fry then returns back to his work of “Still of Life”. 2 The artwork is…

These people are composers and use their talent to bless us with music. One of the famous songwriters/musician is the talented and esteemed Taylor Swift. The music she writes reflects her background, career and other relevant information. Taylor Swift’s background is an important part of who she is, knowing these…

Randy encourages parents to allow their children to paint on their bedroom walls. I agree with Randy because I find painting a way to express myself and I believe others may feel the same way. Painting on your walls is also a way to display your creativeness in a unique and beautiful way. Letting kids paint on their bedroom walls may be an outlet to express their emotions. If I were given permission to paint on my walls, I would paint a map of the entire world. I would mark all the places I have…

In this generation, movies are created for entertainment purposes. These movies are created to catch our eye and turn our heads. People create movies such as “Iron Man”, “Mission Impossible”, and “Jurassic Park” to make others ask, “what if this could happen?” Fortunately, there are few films out there that have a very deep meaning to others. To others, they are just more than movies. What they watch allows them to keep on believing and always work for their dreams. The film “Secretariat” has a…

Music is one of the most popular engines for self-expression today, most considerably amongst younger persons (Rentfrow et al., 2009). People wear shirts and hats embellished with their favorite band, decorate their homes with posters and records, and blast their favorite tunes with the windows down during the car ride home from work (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2007; Rentfrow et. al., 2009). Furthermore, the rise of social media in recent years has magnified both the scope and the means of which…

Hitler’s power. Media and arts were used to show people who the “bad guys” were and who to side with (“Donald Versus Hitler” 31). Artist’s used their art to express how they felt about politics by making fun of leaders they didn’t like, such as the infamous Adolf Hitler. They used propaganda and eventually their opinionated art works caused new art to form. Politics affecting art movements during and post World War II was very important because new art movements, such as popular art, came out of…
