Focal point

The art piece that I chose to write about is called “The Listening Room” (La chambre d'écoute) . The painting was created in 1952 by Rene Magritte,and Rene belonged to the Surrealism Movement .The Surrealism Movement started in the early 1920s. I first saw the art piece at the Menil Art Museum .When I first saw the painting I instantly knew that it was a oil painting ,because of the way everything was put together. I chose to write about this artwork because of the apple is huge ,and green…

easily replicated and printed multiple times. In this particular lithograph, there is one main scene consisting of five people. Three people are holding down the person being punished, one person being punished, and the person with the club. The center point of this lithograph is the person being punished by the club because this lithograph is trying to emphasize violence and order with the club. The main scene is taking place in the foreground, which makes the viewer focus only on the main…

the lines in the hills, the tree and houses all lead to the steeple. The steeple then leads us to the sky. The tree also leads us from the ground up into the sky. Though the Cypress tree is the focal point of the piece it is not the focal area. The focal area is the crescent moon up in the sky, see map Focal Area: moon. The moon is the brightest area is right in an area that is majority blue, which gives contrast and all the stars and the swirling wind bring us right to the…

Another example in this particular picture is the redish-pink blanket the lady at Christ's feet has on her lap, this blanket stands out because it is one of the darkest colors in the painting, which could point out its significance. The portion of the image that is the focal point is Christ, everyone in the picture is looking down at Christ, even the angels in the sky. With there being multiple bodies in the picture, a viewer will always look to see what the persons in the picture are looking…

in motion. The artist used digital photographic composite on aluminum as a medium for their piece which adds to the excitement of the piece. The piece at first glance was hard to understand, it seemed to have so much going on even though the focal was fairly easy to see it was not vivid. Although the image seems to hard to see through that is what made the piece so interesting, it’s depiction of one object but from multiple angles creating a non-vivid image that is constantly in motion.…

In the painting of The Liberation of the Peon, by Diego Rivera sends a strong message on Mexicans heritage. This painting with a dimensions of 73” x 94 ¼” was painted in 1931, and its on display at Philadelphia Museum of Art. The focal point on this painting is the is a man on the ground that is naked and has scars all over his body by what seems to be repeated lashes.

leading to the funeral with the cross and the shovels as the works focal point. He uses the white outlining to put the focus on the situation at hand. It grabs us in almost instantly to focus on what is going on in the piece. The focal point of the shovels leads us to focus on the group from the funeral and the cross. It grabs you into the picture and invites you into the funeral the second your eyes notices the piece. The focus point allows you to take a step into the frozen moment. Black and…

to the eye due to the vibrant colors and many other factors. You will find that when looking at the Visual Elements of Art and Principles of Design, Rivera accurately uses line, color, emphasis, balance/symmetry, proportion/scale, and multiple focal points in The Hammock. The lines featured in this painting include regular, diagonal, horizontal, curved, outlines, and contour lines. Directional lines are often used in order to focus the viewer’s eye to a specific section of the artwork, which is…

didn’t want to depict pain and suffering. Frederick wanted to show the peace Jesus was in when he died up on the cross. By doing this, it shows how powerful his body was. Christ on the Cross has a focal point. A focal point is an area in the sculpture that draws the viewers to the most important element. The focal…

the wall makes it a distinctive feature of the painting, and this is what I noticed first. One can follow that line to the back wall and see many ballerinas. After that, the focus is shifted to the directional line on the floor that leads to the focal point of the painting. Contrast is another element that’s present in this painting. Contrast is a very noticeable, even a striking difference in color. As mentioned, we can see this with the dark color of the pilasters contrasting with the lighter…
