Even though both The Starry Night and Bowl by Ginny Marsh are completely different form of art, but what make me bring them together is one thing, there is always something can brighten your world. Both of them have their own story to tell and their story are different from each other, yet they both managed to go to the same ending. On Van Gogh’s side of the story, by using the darker side of color wheel, that represent the inner part of his fantasy. Adding the wave-like rapid flow of brush…

exhibition since the 1970s, and never outside Jamaica. He is considered to be one of Jamaica's most important historical artists. T-he paintings in this exhibit are from 1930s - 1940s, he was born in 1891 and passed away 1947. The exhibition at the Pérez Art Museum Miami is Dunkley's first showing in the U.S. His work consists of symbolism and iconography which has been discussed in class. While his paintings may be dark and have a somber feeling, his attention to detail and the fact that his…

of Japanese art and aesthetics on the Western culture. Japonisme is specifically used when referring to the Japanese influence on European art. Japanese art influenced many European artists, including, Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Ranson. Ukiyo-e prints reached Europe in the 1800s. In Europe they became a source of inspiration for many impressionist painters. During the 1800s in France, there were exhibitions of Ukiyo-e art and it resulted in the growing popularity of Japanese style art all…

neo-impressionism flourished and the primary medium used was canvas on oil. The Starry Night follows that trend by being a canvas on oil painting with a typical size 29 by 36 inches. I feel highly gratified to have seen this famous painting in person at Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. Today this work of Van Gogh is receiving the great attention the artist never enjoyed in his short life. The Starry Night at a cost of $100 million is worth a fortune. He would probably not have known what to…

In Emily Carr’s oil on canvas painting, Big Raven, the painter designs a breathtaking image of a raven sitting on a hill. Although it is wrong to compare this piece to an Italian or Northern Renaissance painting as they have completely different styles, the lighting and composition used in Big Raven resemble the artwork of that period in respect to having a sense of three-dimensionality and realism. To accomplish such rendering, the use of a consistent light source in the scene is crucial to…

to the darker spots in the painting to see all of the details. However good Ruisdael was at clouds and trees, he was better still at what he observed, rather than scenes he imagined (Lambirth, 2006). After visiting the Minnesota Institute of Art museum I concluded the lighting of the environment around…

not be able to concentrate, or finish one project at a time. Despite this, and other struggles that Edgar went through, he was still as successful and as any other artist in the world of art. Edgar was not known like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci, but is still known by people who have a passion, or love for art and that know more than the average person. Edgar will always be know as a great…

in the background and the man in the center of the painting narrating what he has been going through or what he plans to do next. Hopper does a great job of depicting the era through the look of the buildings and the peoples’ style of clothing. This art piece stands out to me because of the sense of loneliness it conveys. The lack of people in the painting and the overall darkness of the environment give the feeling that these few individuals are the only ones still awake in the city. Hopper…

I think the scream is a great painting overall. I wanted to do Van Gogh’s Starry Night, but realized that wasn’t an option after reading the paper requirements since we looked at it in class. I was going to go for another Van Gogh painting, but when I looked up his name I found The Scream and went for that one. One thing that really brings the piece together is the lines. They definitely lead your eye all around the paper. You start focusing in on the face and then the blue lines of the river…

Response Essay Art is something all around the world. Not all artists are the same, they all have something unique about them. In art class, we watched a video about Vincent van Gogh who was a painter and drawer. The video showed his artwork and had the song “Vincent” by Don McLean playing in the background. We watched this video so we could learn about Van Gogh and to learn how to appreciate art. While watching, and listening to the video, it me feel at peace and gave me a feeling of joy…
