Chinese painting

In “Portrait of My Mother” by Phillip Evergood, the artist uses both value and shape as well as proportion and gradation to illustrate the beauty of his mother while she was in physical pain in the last days of her life. Evergood, born in 1901 and died in 1973, began this work while his mother was dying in a hospital and subsequently completed it after her death. The portrait is oil on canvas and panel, and is a featured work in Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas. Furthermore, Evergood uses…

arts. The following essay will explore the elements of poverty, freedom and security that Li enhances throughout his life in America and China. Poverty, one of the main problems shown throughout the novel has a lot of effect over the lives of the Chinese community. In Li’s community, the housing was not up to the worlds standard. They lived in abject poverty, where there was little availability for spacing in their houses to accommodate their whole family this is proven when Li expresses “My…

Baling Hay, an oil on canvas, shows grey and pale pink sky filling the top of the painting. On the left, two women wearing green shirts and brown pants stand atop piles of hay. In front of and in the middle, a woman wearing the same attire as the other two women holds a pitchfork holding a large bundle of hay. The woman with the pitchfork is shoveling hay into a large red machine which takes up the middle of the painting. On the far side of the machine, a woman with a green shirt, brown…

did not hear the song. The first thing I noticed about this painting is that it does not have a wide variety of color. It all blends in with each other. The girls on both the right side and the left side are all the same shade of color. Their shapes are elongated and seem to emerge from the rocks. All of the seamen on the boat and the sails are a dark color and mixes together to make it look like there is not much detail in the painting when there actually is. The sky is very dark and gloomy…

trained in European painting styles. Miguel Cabrera had this upbringing in the art world. In this paper, I am going to examine the composition of his painting Don Manuel Jose Rubio y Salinas, Archbishop of Mexico (Fig. 1), along with providing information about the subject. I am also going to address how Cabrera showcased a European style through his use of shading, and how his technique of displaying perspective differs from European Baroque equivalents. The main figure in this painting is…

Amulet Mosaic Reflection Guide I’ve never been that good at Art but I love doing art (at least I hope what I make is good enough to be considered art). I just try to produce something with the best of my ability and hope for the best. In AP Art, we were given a project about mosaics. A mosaic is a picture or design made of tiny pieces (tesserae) of colored stones, glass, tile or paper adhered to a surface. In order to do this, we relied on the knowledge we have about this project since this…

size of 27.94 × 30.48 cm (11 × 12 in). The choice of the size provides the viewer with the enough space to identify various elements that compose the painting. For instance, one can easily see the background and the multiple images apart from the one belonging to the woman. Logically, the choice of the frame dimensions proves critical to any painting. In the case of Siesta, the artist used a reasonable size that provides users with the clear view of the image. The proportion of the height to…

We found that there is no actual meaning behind these paintings but Allen states that his drawings are his “expressions though autism.” Allen allows his had to freely start drawing lines and when he can start to see something in the lines he adds the details. As we were looking at Allen’s first drawing, Live I, we wondered how many faces are actually in the painting. There’s are too many faces to be able to count as Allen has set the eyes so everywhere you look…

Andy Warhol, Paul Klee and William Blake are amongst the best artists and illustrators that ever lived. In this essay I will talk about I will talk about several works from these artists and illustrators. There were two of William Blake’s illustration that I found interesting as I have never seen something like it before. Blake writes and illustrates his own poems. Both illustrations seen here incorporate the poems within them and in a way interact with the text. One can notice that these…

famous artist, in hopes that one day they too would become a great artist. For example, famous Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci apprenticed with Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence learning multiple skills and trades, including sculpting, drawing, painting, and carpentry. Just years before in the Middle Ages, art was made for a specific purpose, like religious reasons, but in the Renaissance art was not only made for spiritual purposes, but for the idea of beauty and the attraction of learning…
