Body art

After Rustin completed his creation of Playing fetch with Nash, I looked at this artwork objectively and noticed many different details he included in his artwork. At first glance, a viewer can see that it was created using markers with the use of primary, secondary, and neutral colors. I also see that Rustin drew a person to represent himself, he gave himself two arms and two legs and glasses. There is also a dog, however if he would have not told me what animal it was, it could possibly be…

degree of light and dark can be seen in this painting. Ironically, the sunlight with the a vase of flower does not make the atmosphere to be a peaceful one.

These painting are not only connected by the same medium, They also contain similar themes of…

doesn’t require a specific language in order to be understood and can be interpreted in many different ways. However, this subjective point of view can also make it being difficult to convey a specific theme. By combining aspects of music and visual art I can more easily define what emotions and theme I conveying during my performance. Physics must also be taken into account when choreographing.

Late 19th century American art was influenced by a number of art movements such as, impressionism, realism, and symbolism. Some artists were inspired to create genre paintings to enforce their significance in subjects from everyday life including figures, landscapes, and objects. These scenes of everyday life in America did not, however, include people of color. Thus, this segment of the population was being portrayed in an infelicitous angle due to the prejudices of the period, with biased…

movement by analysing Wright’s work in detail with reference to modernism and other movements. The movement of modernism follows the ideology that the traditional style of creating art, architecture and literature was becoming old fashioned so a new and experimental approach was taken to allow the different forms of art to be compatible with the changes in the world being more industrialised.
