Canvas

Andy Warhol. John Lennon. 1985-86. Synthetic polymer and silkscreen on canvas. 40 x 40 1/8in. Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York, USA,(May-October 2005). The artwork I have chosen to describe by Andy Warhol is John Lennon. It is done with synthetic polymer and silkscreen on canvas. I think this piece of art is very different. It’s a realistic painting in the fact that it is based off of the actual person, John Lennon. It is a little abstract because the colours aren’t how you’d normally see a…

The theme of the display will be representative examples of Saints and Martyrs created during the Reformation, the theme is to display the notion of the Catholic Church as the one true church separate and distinct from the Protestant’s. Art works developed for the Catholic Church at this time was to be unique and focus on specific aspects of the Catholic dogma. The art pieces I have selected are strong examples of the belief of the time that art should focus on Jesus Christ, Mary the Virgin…

Mary Cassatt painted an oil painting on a canvas that is 35x46 in the year 1893 and it is called The Boating Party. I don’t really care for the painting. Some parts seem very sloppy although she seemed to work for a very long time. In the picture you see a man woman and a child in a boat. They are moving to or from the shore. The sail boat is yellow and white along with the oars, while the woman is in a light blue dress with either a pink floral design or pink shading. The man is rowing the boat…

after 1900 his most famous pieces of artwork were created. His famous work is almost entirely a personal world of imaginary creatures, allegorical nudes, and dream-like landscapes. His artwork “Dancers in a Forest Glen” is an oil painting made on canvas. The artwork is landscape of a forest with a body of water in the middle and clusters of dancers throughout the painting. The work is realistic. Davies used dark, subtle colors throughout…

Pablo Picasso: The Tragedy In Picasso’s “The Tragedy,” he used several different techniques to create the visual elements in the painting. The three figures, carefully drawn, and the use of contour lines help shape their bodies and show the deep thought in their faces. The color used in the painting was mainly shades of blue. The beach is a greenish blue, set against the pale blue sea, the sky is a darkened dusky blue, bringing a cold, emptiness to the piece. It is as if you were looking at the…

With this topic, I leveraged the quizzes available on Canvas as well as the State of Minnesota’s WC website. The quizzes online helped me test my understanding of the textbook chapters. I learned about the concept of exclusive remedy and the exceptions that apply. I also learned about the several different…

Art movements throughout time have evolved according to the time, place and context in which each movement was introduced. The Religious Abstract movement is from the Classical Religious art to the symbolic, figurative Religious Abstract art. Religious Abstract artworks are created through the artist representation of a religious text or of a complex spiritual idea creating an evolving sub art movement. This is displayed throughout history from the first abstract religious painting by Hilma Kint…

hands of a people in desperate need of good news that they hope the speaker can provide. While there is no clear light source in the painting, the light seems to be coming out from the speaker himself as he is bathed in light. On both sides of the canvas, those with their backs to the viewer are covered in shadow while those nearest to the orator and facing him, particularly from the front, have light streaked upon them. For light to be pointing left toward the speaker and right toward his…

We’ll do this with two words. Slow and fading. The opening shot will begin with a blank canvas, the title Perks of Being a Wallflower appears letter by letter through the motions of a typewriter, alluding to Charlie and his signature equipment. Charlie’s words play over with his genuinely dark quote, “there is so much pain, I don’t know how to not notice it...” There is no music, so we may be able to detect and place an emphasis on the slight tremors and desolation in his voice. An impression is…

To this day, The Starry Night still remains as an elusive work of art to art critics and students since its creation. Because Van Gogh's intentions of painting this piece were not known, critics tend to break down and analyze the painting through several different lenses. Some critics view this work as a religious piece depicting a story from the Bible. Others contend that Van Gogh was driven by the historical influences and public fascination with astronomy and astrology at the time. I, however…
