Asher Brown Durand

included the choice is that much easier. For this essay I visited The San Diego Museum of Art to look for a painting that matched the criteria of a painting from 1800-1880 that illustrates realism or romanticism. I came across an oil on canvas painting of everything I have learned what realism art is suppose to look like. The painting was of a man on a horse looking down on a boy with a dog close behind them on a dirt trail. There were tall trees, large mountains, and a river that seemed to show how small the characters were in painting and how nature was that surrounded them. The painting was titled In the Catskills. The artist of the painting was Asher B. Durand. Durand lived from 1796-1886; he painted In the Catskills in 1848. The painting is done on canvas using oil and measures 30in. x42in. and1/4. After researching Asher B. Durand and looking into his paintings I noticed a lot of his work had to do with nature. It seemed that he drew from nature using a lot of realism. Much of his drawings were done in the northeast area of the United States. I was mesmerized when I first saw this painting. I wasn’t exactly sure at first on what was causing it…

sun shining on the ravine, but the fire in the distance creates a glowing orb which seems to be the attraction that the artist wanted to draw the most attention to. I believe that the light in this image represents an important point which Roderick Nash identifies. While humans were once afraid of the wilderness, occupants of the New World had a responsibility to move forward, conquer it, and make new discoveries. If they did, they would have a bright future in which they would be afraid no…

A shy, sassy girl with brown straight hair, deep dark brown eyes, was named Chloé Brown; lived in a nice modern gated community with her family. Her parents were the type of parents that everyone could ever dream of having; comical, admirable and mainly laid back but also have a strict side. Even though Chloé had the “perfect” life that everyone was jealous of, she did not understand to appreciate when she was an arrogant, sassy fifteen-year-old freshman at Avon Park High School. She hated…

molitor. During our second experiment, the colours of the T. molitor was noted, and the two T. molitor of dark brown colour used, moved relatively slow as compared to the others. Our results showed that the two dark brown T. molitor moved a mean distance of 3.8cm, whereas the three black T. molitor of the same trial moved a mean distance of 17.6 cm (one moved an abnormal amount of 28cm), the two brown T. molitor moved a mean distance of 9.05 cm (one of them was missing 2 legs), and the three…

A fit 35 with a well honed body carrying no excess fat. A couple of inches over 6 foot in height. Black hair combed straight back with no parting. Kind brown eyes over drawn cheeks and thin lips. Wearing a white check short sleeve shirt and grey flannelled trouser with woollen cardigan. No shoes on, showing both his socks were darned with different coloured wools. Rose, upstairs in bed, was finding it difficult to read the Daily Express news paper, which was two days old anyway. Listening to the…

Artists and their artwork are heavily influenced by the styles and movements of their time. The two paintings I viewed at the museum were part of a particular movement that effected their personal style and is easily seen throughout the works. The paintings have many similarities being from the same movement, but the closer I looked at the paintings and began to analyze them, I realized how different they were. The artists use the similar styles and techniques, yet the end product is drastically…

at the painting it is clear to see that the man is seated at a table with his elbows rested on the surface. His two frail hands are folded together and pressed against his forehead, as if he is bowing his head in prayer. Placed on the table in front of him is a loaf of bread with one end cut off, a bowl containing liquid of brown color, a knife which is right next to the bowl, a thick bible with a green cover, and laying on top of the bible is a pair of glasses folded, laying upside down. The…

arranged in a hectic manner. At the back, a wooden hourglass can be seen along with a brown and green book. To the side there’s a wooden cigarette holder, with cigarettes burning and an open book. Next to this is an open pocket watch and glasses. A page is falling. A flute intersects this, and a fallen green, glass vase is on top. Almost central, there’s a skull and a bone, leaves embrace these. Light is coming from the top right corner, which is largely empty and a dark background. The overall…

Once bright green grass seems to turn patchy as the mood of the film shifts. Dead brown grass is first visible when Mia jumps the fence into Conor’s backyard. Dull colored grass is made visible again in a larger quantity when Mia kidnaps Conor’s daughter Kira and leads her into a field. The field is vast and brown, bordering a body of water that appears to be almost grey in color. Another aspect of nature that changes color with the mood of the film is the sky. In the majority of Fish Tank the…

The results showed that a brown color change occurred in the mixture. The reasoning behind the color change in the mixture has to do with the chemical reaction that changes catechol into its oxidized form benzoquinone. This chemical reaction also requires oxygen, and an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase. The enzyme polyphenol oxidase is needed because it acts as the catalyst in the reaction. When the components of buffer, substrate, and enzyme were mixed, the oxygen in the surrounding air also…
