Eye Test was an oil painting done by Mark Tansey in 1981 and is currently being exhibited at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. In this painting, there is a cow standing and observing a picture of the other cows. While around a cow is a group of good looking men, they are all dressed in suits and wearing glasses. They are watching and recording the “real” cow’s reaction to revealing the “non-real” cows in painting. Why is it that the artist lets a cow observe the painting instead of…

Art isn’t about what you can depict from it, but how it makes you feel as you gaze upon it. Recently I went on an excursion to MOCA, Museum Of Contemporary Arts, located in North Miami, Fl. The temporary exhibit is “Beijing Booster” the works of Peter Wayne Lewis. The exhibit is showcasing 30-40 pieces of artwork. Of course some peak more interest than others; nevertheless Peter Wayne Lewis energy is definitely projected in the galleries. Peter Wayne Lewis was born in Kingston, Jamaica, West…

The painting I am doing a critique on is called Night Veil. Night Veil was created by Linda Mitchell in 2015. This piece of artwork was located at Northwest Florida State College. This piece of artwork is composed on a wood panel. I have always enjoyed artwork that is composed on pieces of wood. They give off a different type of vibe instead of a painting painted on a regular canvas. On this wood panel is a painting of a deer. This deer looks very peaceful. I enjoy looking at artwork that…

INTERPRETATION 1. What do you think the work is about? In my opinion, this is a dynamic medium because it draws you into its great artistic splendor while at the same time providing a visual history lesson about why it was made. 2. What was the artist trying to express? In my opinion this is a commemorative plaque that depicts a past event that took place in the kingdom. ARTWORK – Connections 1. What is the subject matter and content of the artwork? This plaque has five figures…

his father noticed this and arranged for Leonardo an apprentice to a famous painter Andrea del Verrocchio. They say when Leonardo painted his first painting that his master was embarrassed that such a young boy could paint better then him so he never painted again. After that Leonardo was a very successful person.…

it is used in art. One piece caught my attention more than all the others, Diego Velazquez’ painting The Maids Of Honor (1656). This particular painting stood out to me because of the way the Infantas white dress grabs the eye away from everything else in the image. Not only does the light illuminate the child it pulls attention to her gaze, and how she is looking out at something not seen in the painting. Now that the artist has you looking at the face, you automatically look at the faces of…

I chose to analyze The Fall of Man, 1927 by M.C. Escher for this paper. This particular piece is a woodcut, and the dimensions are 276mm x 375mm. M.C. Escher was a Dutch artist who mainly worked with graphic art. His piece, The Fall of Man, is a representational art piece with religious content. The context derives from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. On the surface, we see Adam sitting on the ground with his head facing downward as he looks with disappointment. Eve is gesturing for Adam to…

Picasso may have worked on this painting, Girl Before a Mirror, not ever thinking about the elements and principles of art. When he sat at his easel lovingly looking at his beloved Marie-Therese Walter, it was as if Picasso was having a religious experience painting Marie as if she was the Virgin Mary pondering her child’s fate. As Picasso worked on the 5’4” x 4’3” oil on canvas painting in 1932, he added the elements and principals of art, allowing the painting to flow with a master’s eye and…

Yancey, presented his art in two categories: One is his public art which includes “community-based murals, ceramic mosaics, and other commissioned large scale or monumental works in public places.” Yancey’s other art is categorized as drawings and paintings that were formed from his “traditional studio practice.” The title “Can You See” is an interrogative title. It is meant to engage the audience past the title itself, and ask yourself if you can see past typical stereotypes of African…

For my project, I decided to use the large selection of stained glass mosaics at the Broadway Junction train station (The Canarsie Line) as my basis for the public artwork. Out of around 75 pieces of artwork, I chose to do one of the ones towards the end, which doesn’t have a name due to it being part of a collection of artwork. The rest of the collection are on either side of the escalators at the station. The collection they are all a part of is the Brooklyn, New Morning collection made by Al…
