Throughout this reading, Atkins focuses on Frans Hals’s artistic execution of roughness in his art pieces. He points out that Hals’s artistic virtuosity is displayed through the sketchiness of his painting, the connection between him and previous famed painters, and the unique method he employed. Further, Atkins argues that many of Hals’s sitters are “virtuosi-liefhebbers”, meaning knowledgeable lovers of art. Through Hals’s rough brushwork, his sitters were shown refined and cultured. Also,…

The use of lines, colors, and shapes within this piece is what really appealed to me. In this painting, the use of lines played a vital role in the positioning of the man and woman within the piece. There were colors like gray, brown, black and mustard within the piece. The use of various different and uniquely shaped materials keeps your eyes…

The photographer divided the subjects into two subgroups. One is about blurry and hurried pedestrians in the streets, and the other is about a young girl in the front . The blurriness of the pedestrian may show their busy life pace of the night. But the young girl, who is the main figure, looks calm and energetic. Her poise forms a strong contrast to the pedestrians, and she becomes the focal point in the picture. This street snap compares the mediocre culture of young and the public. The…

Lopez 1 Art 6 Midterm For my midterm paper I decided to choose Ansel Adams' photograph, Moonrise. I decided to choose this because it seemed interesting and we haven't looked over much photography in class so I thought it would be fun to look at it more in-depth.

According to Jones, “Correggio saw the ancient myths, without any spiritual or philosophical veiling, as sexual stories. His classical paintings use painterly refinement to give jaw-dropping reality to the licentious tales of the ancients in what he plainly intends as fun.” Such physical and sensual delight is delivered to the viewers through both Correggio’s depiction of human body…

Gentileschi portrays herself in Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting (1630s). Note, this a very different approach because Gentileschi not only shows herself painting, but also shows herself as the very allegory of painting.

In this instance, Gentileschi displays herself epitomizing the very act of painting. She symbolizes it. Also, notice that Gentileschi breaks away…
