Thomas Cole was an artist in the early and mid 1800s bringing his own new style of painting to the art world taking it by storm and really breaking away from the normal traditional ways that we have studied through this last semester. I chose Thomas Cole because I have experienced pieces of his work for years of my life through my previous courses. I have a love for the country and he depicts the woodland and beautiful landscape of the world making you appreciate where you are no matter what is…

In the nineteenth century the Royal Academies of Art in France and England were significant art societies in Europe. The schools held annual or semi-annual exhibitions, where artists could display their work to gain critical notice, known as the Salon. The Salon was run by the art academies, as a result the art that was selected to be shown had the technique and style that was taught there and nothing else. Edouard Manet was one of several artists at the time that challenged the academic…

My work explores the relationship between what artist sees and what the artist creates. My work is my interpretation of an eye of a lioness. It reproduces a close up image of a lioness’ eye as a small part of a portrait of a lioness. In my work, I created what I saw without focusing in on the details. There is no symbolism behind my work; it is just an oil pastel of an eye of a lioness. By visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art online, I was inspired by the artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe. My…

The use of blue and green tones in the background bring an overall…

Susan Derges was born in London in the year of 1955. All of her work is mostly visual metaphors. She captures the relationship between nature and self. In one article it said the, “she endeavors to capture both visible and invisible scientific and natural processes. The physical appearance of sound, the evolution of frogspawn or the reflection of the moon and start on water.” Most of her famous work is her capturing water that goes into river and shorelines. Lately she works on photographs that…

The artwork The Parc Monceau made in 1878 by Claude Monet is an oil on canvas painting. The painting is 28 5/8 inches horizontally by 21 3/8 inches vertically. I discovered this piece of art online through the Metropolitan Museum of Art website located in New York, New York, along with many other of his art pieces, but this one I appreciated the most. The Parc Monceau is a representational and figurative painting because it depicts scenery we see in real life as well as people just slightly…

In the piece “Autorretrato en el taller (Self-portrait in the Studio)” by Francisco de Goya, the artist depicts himself in a Romantic style of painting. The lighting is hazing and alludes to being naturally lit, due to it coming in from the window. It continues to call attention to the illusion of painting by the brush strokes being visible on the canvas. This incites the idea of self awareness of the artist and understanding that a painting is not a reflection of real life but an artifice. The…

Kate Keating #3 Ms. McCully English 12/13/14 Esmeralda vs. Lucie Manette Have you ever felt bad for a person that is made fun of just for being different? Esmeralda felt bad for Quasimodo in Hunch Back Of Notre Dame. Quasimodo was the same as everyone else, but people treated him like he was dirt just because he looked different and didn’t look like how the world expects us too. People thought Quasimodo had an ugly face and a hump on his back. They crowned him “king of fools”. When he snuck…
