In this discussion I will be analyzing the content of arguably Leonardo Da Vinci’s most iconic painting the Mona Lisa. The first interesting fact I learned about this portrait is widely believed to depict a woman named Lisa Gherardini the wife a wealthy of a wealthy silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo. Furthermore, Da Vinci is thought to have intended to complete this portrait for the couple so they could commemorate the birth of their son, however he was never able to complete the…

For this second assignment, I have chosen to talk about dry media and wet media art works. “The dry media, which include metalpoint, chalk, charcoal, graphite, and pastel, consist of coloring agents, or pigments, that are sometimes ground or mixed with substances that hold the pigment together, called binders.”(p.165) I selected the composition “Study of a Woman's Head or the Angel of the Vergine delle Rocce, 1473” by Leonardo da Vinci. This is merely just a sketch of a woman's head from the…

whole? I struggled to find a reason for why Murakami created this piece; I decided that it was merely to show optimism and joy through a relatable element like flowers. After looking at it for some time, I noticed a placard on the wall next to the painting. One line of the writing on the wall mentioned outlines of skulls in the background. I had not seen them before, but pressed into the metallic background were tiny outlines of skulls. This discovery brought meaning to the piece. I interpreted,…

Notice that the smoke plate in Figure 38 is more or less flush with the front brick while the smoke plate in Figure 39 is installed in a recessed position. I have not noticed any difference in the efficacy of the two locations. For cosmetic reasons, I prefer not to have a smoke plate on the same plane (flush) as the front brick but recessed at least 1” up to 2”. Typically, metal smoke plates are left boiler-plate color, a gray or mottled gray steel, and draw the eye only one time. But they can…

Wonderful Master of Art, Grant Wood's Grant Woods is an amazing artist which I failed to see before browsing through this book. Grant woods has a very elegant way of painting art. By making his art appear realistic his art is much more complex than you might think. Figuring out what artist to pick was extremely difficult. Once the painting of American Gothic came up I suddenly knew which artist I wanted to study. Covering every page of the book with beautiful and very austere his art makes…

Before he graduated, Xavier Prou visited New York City and was fascinated with the city’s street art. He was one of the first people ever to do graffiti art in Paris. He is also known as "Father of stencil graffiti". One of his first stencils paintings were of rats all along the walls of Paris. He called these rats "the only free animal in the city" (Reiss, Jon), They are not only the “ free animals” but also "spreads the plague everywhere, just like street art" (Reiss, Jon). His name came…

For the line shot I chose a vertical line. I saw that m railing had vertical lines and the curtain next to it did as well. So as I shoot this I make sure that I get all the vertical lines into the shot. Next is the depth of field shot. This was my favorite shot, I just loved the way the camera would focus in and out and doing that was changing the depth of the shot. I used the pen I was using for my homework and sat it on a book and put them inside of a bookshelf. I moved it many angles to show…
