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…

adjust 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…

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…

struggling financially. He worked at his Uncle’s art dealership. By this time, van Gogh was fluent in French, German, English, and his native Dutch. In 1873, van Gogh worked at the Groupil Gallery in London. He fell in love with Eugenie Loyer. Van Gogh suffered a breakdown when she rejected his marriage proposal. He devoted his life to God and threw away all of his books except for the Bible. He became angry and told customers not to buy the "worthless art". He was eventually fired. In the…

artist while he did not have the money to afford models to paint his portraits of. Van Gogh was a very poor man living in Paris trying to develop himself as an artist, when he first began to paint he used peasants as models. After this stage of his art, he began to experiment with his use of color in painting landscapes and flowers because he could not afford to pay models. The fragileness of Van Gogh's life was told by his stark contrasts of color on canvas and his restless strokes with his…

Van Gogh used all of the elements of art in “Starry Night”, but some call more attention to themselves than others. Line, for example is a prominent feature in this piece. Form, however must be searched for. See it? It’s hidden in the small houses tucked away under the night sky. I notice that color also dominates this piece, with strokes of blue littering the scene, with a beautiful contrast of yellow to represent stars. I see many organic shapes with the dark figure of the cypress tree, and…

Picasso was traditionally trained by his father, José Ruiz y Blasco, a Spanish painter. A child prodigy that made a name for himself by departing from his traditional training and creating works of art that revolutionized the art world. Picasso’s most famous painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, broke from the traditional style of the time. The balance of classical paintings can be seen with balance with five figures represented—one in the center of the painting, flanked by two figures on each…
