The sculpture of Venus de Milo is a marble statue of a woman. Her face and body are turned to the side and she is looking into the distance. Her full face has dominant features with a large nose and thick lips. Her hair is curly and arranged in a thick bun on the back of her head. Her neck is long, and from the side one can see a fullness that matches the roundness of her hips. She has a strong core since her upper stomach has clearly defined muscles. From the back angle, one can observe her…

the artists use to create artworks” (Mittler 18). For example paint is an example of art media. So if someone was painting a picture, their paint would be their material they used to create their picture. “Art process is the action involved in making art.”(Mittler 18). For example painting is an example of art process(Mittler 18). So if someone is painting a picture, when they are painting, that is the art process because it’s the action they are doing to create art their picture. So how they…

I will be talking about the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. In this particular painting the artist really doesn’t use the Encaustic method. It looks likes da Vinci use the tempera technique because the painting has a certain glow or transparency to it. The painting looks like it was painted on a stone. Most artist back then use the tempera method on stone. The fresco method is not used in this painting. It is not a fresco because you cannot change or modify when an artist…

The most visible building is some type of barn dressed in a chain link fence that becomes a wooden fence. Taylor’s “paintings,” as she calls them, are not necessarily of images people want to see but of images people need to see. I think Taylor and Saar’s works illustrate the daily struggles of people and speak into an idea of social status. Upon entering the NCMA, one…

During the unit, I have been practicing many drawing techniques such as contour, gesture, line and value with a variety of different medias. I even went and learned to identify these techniques in other artist's work. While doing my transformation project, I realized that drawing and observing related. This eventually helped me very much in making my Transformation Art Project showed above. This gif is made out of a total of four drawn images. To make them, I observed my model very closely and…

as much. My sophomore year of drawing and painting covered several of art forms. Most of the time we copied pictures off of the internet and recreated them in a different form of art. I used oil pastel to mimic a basic color picture, it was pretty simple I just had make it look as close as the original. Using charcoal to mimic the ceiling of a roman catholic church took a while to get a precise shading of corners, due to the angle of the photo. Painting was an enjoyable thing to do because I was…

William Kentridge’s style is easily apparent through his many works highlighted in Drawing in Passing with rather signature features. The medium, movement, texture, and the very nature of the work build upon each other to create a very unique result. The medium of choice is charcoal, both brushed and drawn. The light, fast flourishes of the brush and the swift flicks of his wrist create a fluidity through each piece, even in individual still frames. The fact that it is animated adds to this…

The first word that came to mind when I saw this art piece was texture. There is an access amount of texture, lines, colours, and shapes. Those elements of design are what caught my attention to this artwork. My personal interpretation was that this piece portrayed nature. I noticed water foreshortening between large rocks. I noticed the red train tracks that trail off the artwork into another direction. Lastly, the sky is a variety of colours, to me reminds me of a summer sunset. Gordon…

the Industrial Revolution. He is also well known for his emphasis on contrast in his paintings, called the Chiaroscuro effect. He often painted figures in dark lighting illuminated by candlelight. Although he started off his career by being a portrait painter, he increasingly started to paint landscapes and the effect of natural light. Joseph Wright was notable in his time for showcasing science in his paintings, particularly the meetings of the Lunar Society, a group of influential scientists…

The title of my artwork is In Tough Times, Hope. Here is a description of my artwork: in the bottom right hand corner, there is the color black, beginning at its darkest and becoming lighter and lighter until it reaches a white. There are many shades of gray throughout the value scale. On the upper right, there is two abstract shapes that are white, red and gray. Pouring from these irregular shapes are blue dots with a touch of orange in them. On the bottom right, there is an area of a teal…
