Brooklyn Bridge The aesthetic art piece keeps the eyes engaged throughout the beautiful three dimensional work. 1983, Brooklyn bridge by Andy Warhol is the gorgeous, fascinating colorful piece in the Andy Warhol museum located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Screenprinting is the style he decided to use for this artistic expression. Warhol had an unreasonably amount of patience and kept eye for details Even though this process could be a long and lengthy one. Many different types of paper…

The first artwork focused on is The Human Condition, by Rene Magritte. This is a surrealist painting, with major existential themes, and multiple levels of perspective. This artwork is almost a satire on what the ideally a great painting contains. Alberti touches on what a talented artist should depict in his representation of the world in his book, On Painting. According to Alberti, a good painting consists of geometry, correct anatomy, elegant surfaces, and a conformity in regard to size,…

For this piece of artwork I used pencil and a smudger. I made this in my 9th grade year for my art and design class. The title of this work is "Kitchen Drawer Drawing". My first impression when viewing the artwork is the background drowns out the objects, the objects are not dark enough while the background is too dark. Most of the objects can be recognized. Some of them the shading make the objects seem more like a blur than any kitchen item, so it makes it somewhat unrecognizable. The…

more color everywhere I possibly could. My love for painting blossomed my Junior year of high school when I took an oil painting class and fell in love. I knew from the very first day that I had found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have been blessed with such a beautiful gift and I plan on using it everyday for the rest of my days. I plan on attending the Cleveland Institute of Art to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting. With this degree my intentions are to open my…

M.C Escher was more than just an artist. He created art using patterns of identical shapes, that fit together with no gaps, and did not overlap, also known as tessellations. He went through many stages throughout his art, but his most lasting legacy are the tessellations he made and the mathematical impact they had. By using mathematical reasoning he was able to create the tessellations, but he had to look beyond just mathematics to dig deep into his tessellated optical illusions. M.C Escher…

Leon Battista Alberti: An Introduction to a New Dimension During the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance Era, people began to shift their iconography from the worship of Christ to the mortal world that they lived in, leading to works of art that featured natural landscapes and buildings, rather than paradise. Contrary to The Promised Land, people saw the physical world around them every day, leading to the artistic problem of not having a way to make these landscapes seem…

Art has a fascinating ability to influence, develop and transform individuals. Artistic tactics used in various works of art, including paintings, film, sculptures and drawings have the potential to connect ideas and traditions to individuals around the world. A study of art culture and history, art criticism, studio aesthetics, all uniquely contribute to cognitive development by providing individuals with opportunities for multiple ways of learning, and means for self-expression. A particular…

social influence caused Leonardo to combine science and art. It is however necessary to have a different view about science. There was a powerful and superb sense of self in Rome that makes art more than mere decorations. Despite our personal views, paintings, sculptures, places, and churches reflect worldview and civic identity. In the “Last Supper,” Leonardo shows monumental simplicity (Bondanella and Musa 48). His composition is masterful. He strikes the contrast of the disciples’ attitudes…

artwork that I have chosen to analyze includes a person of color as the primary focus of the painting. The piece is titled ‘Trying His Hand’ by painter Mary Ellen Jones. It is currently in the Oakland Museum of California. The painting was made in 1881 and it is oil on canvas. It is 24.87 inches in height and 29.75 inches in width. The piece is classified as both ‘genre painting’ and ‘social realism’ painting. According to Artists in California 1786 – 1940 by Edan Hughes, Mary Ellen Jones was…

in the big metropolitan city of Los Angeles in the mural would be the hearts situated on top of each car and the diversity of cars found in the painting each with its own unique color. However it can be said that the mural does not focus entirely on the cars, but on the spirit of the Angelenos. Which can be refuted by the fact that this mural was painting on the side of a freeway and was intentionally made to be viewed by the drivers which only reinforces the car culture that exists there. All…
