left one will notice a mix of gray, blue and black thunderclouds over the darkened forest that seems to tell us that the savagery of the wild is to be feared and conquered to build a fresh better life. Looking deeper left at the bare front of the canvas, there exists a broken and disfigured tree, this might signify how unpredictable the wilderness can be and how much damage it can cause to those who are not careful enough. Next migrate the eyes to the right side to detect the light, a few…

amenities can be challenging; Terrace taught me the value in making the best out of experiences, be they positive or negative. Grateful for the slower pace of life allowed, I can appreciate the beautiful life canvas Terrace has provided me. Terrace taught me that I can paint my life canvas with experiences that contribute to my happiness. As a teenager, I believed Terrace to be a sleepy little town that lacked what would contribute to my happiness and consequently I was always searching for…

Focusing on the first section, it is a decent landscape collages which arouses contrasts of gender and art medium within a miscellaneous frame. On the canvas, the brownish panel is framed by rusty white paints, which they softly blended together. When a stroke of rusty yellowish green was painted over the upper right corner, a thin white stroke was extended from the left, and ended with a triangular messy…

masterpieces, The Starry Night. He painted it in Saint Remy, France in June 1889. Gogh, as every other artist, is a product of his time. A time when the style of neo-impressionism flourished and the primary medium used was canvas on oil. The Starry Night follows that trend by being a canvas on oil painting with a typical size 29 by 36 inches. I feel highly gratified to have seen this famous painting in person at Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. Today this work of Van Gogh is receiving the…

painting of, Apollo and Diana Attacking the Children of Niobe, in 1772 (Figure 1). This painting is oil on canvas with an approximate size of 48 by 61 ½ inches. At first glance, this painting had no visible brush strokes and had a very smooth and glossy surface. The art canvas is medium-sized and details were fairly visible, but it required me to look closer to see more detail. At the center of the canvas, there is a woman dressed in white and wearing a red cloak and surrounding her are the…

1. Figure 4.3, Going Home by Jacob Lawrence. This piece was created in 1946, and was painted with gouache, which is an opaque type of watercolor. I personally did not like this piece, I’m not a fan of the medium used, but nevertheless I found it interesting.

But I do enjoy the contrasting red and green, and the warm feeling that the…

These painting are not only connected by the same medium, They also contain similar themes of Roman mythology (fantasy), and they…
