current body of cosmic work. As these two movements are based primarily in the individual experience, I chose to create this series based upon how I experience and process the world as a mentally ill, LGBTQ+ individual. Creating eight acrylic-on-canvas paintings, four resembling Surrealist art and four Abstract Expressionist, I focused on emotions and experiences that pervade my everyday life—depression, love, anxiety, and fear. Therefore, I have paired my Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist…

Whatever the topic of the piece is, art can bring forth thousands of ideas and, yes, a thousand words. Full of nature and emotion, “Spirit of the Lake” by the brilliant Audra Auclair is just one painting amongst many that leaves a viewer…

piece is considered Op Art because it creates an optical sensation of movement through the manipulation and reposition of lines. Riley uses both horizontal and diagonal curved lines with different scales. The lines widen and close throughout the canvas to create the illusion that the lines are weaving. The opposite hues puts off a glow in the painting, yet the surface is matte. Riley uses a warm color (red) in the middle of the painting; this warm color is…

Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne differed greatly in style and did not present a clear, concise picture of the world, but they both found new ways of representing nature. The paintings "Rocks in the Forest" and "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" represent the artist's lives by their use of different shades of colors; however, they share rough, unfinished textures and both vertical and curved lines. "Rocks in the Forest" render the shapes with passages of subtly varied colors, such as green, blue,…

Now, after 4 months, I am now able to say that I have already taken root thanks to the course COMM 101 ---Business Fundamentals, which gave me overview and instructions about the business. That is how I drew this reflective mind map. The well-developed root system is what I learned from this course. And it enables me to grow better in the future, providing me with the life essentials such as…

seated figure by Da Vinci. First, we will start off with the differences between the two pieces of art work. The mediums for Web # 8 is a dry media, charcoal on paper while Drapery for a Seated Figure is a liquid media, grey distemper on grey linen canvas. Vija's piece Web #8 is a charcoal piece containing line work such as cross hatching and a gray scale. Her line work I considered cross hatching, but a loose use of it. She used the lines to show motion and depth instead of darkness and light.…
