The Pastoral Concert is an oil painting, which was painted either by Giorgione or his pupil Titian. Modern critics are back and forth on the subject, but the most widely accepted theory is that the master Giorgione began the painting, and after his death, his pupil Titian completed the work. The painting portrays two nude women, one standing and pouring a pitcher of water, and the other lounging on the grass, paused attentively with a flute in her hand. The women appear robust by today’s…

The painting that I found to be the most interesting was “Venus and Adonis”. This painting measures about 42 inches x 52 1/2 inches. The painting was created by oil paint, a medium composed of pigments and varying types of vegetable oils. The painting was done on stretched canvas, and therefore it gives the painting a slight textured quality. The painter, Titan, painted this picture giving soft appearances of the colors. The painting doesn’t have any harsh brush strokes, and the paint seems to…

of these people have died from cancer caused by tar sands oil, an oil carried downstream from them that is proposed to be used in the Keystone pipeline. Not only have they died from the harmful oil but they have had side effects such as; heart and respiratory conditions, skin issues and nervous system disorders(treehugger).These innocent people can no longer carry on their valuable cultural traditions because of the pollution from an oil pipeline(Friends Of Earth). These problems won't just…

After watching The Yes Men Are Revolting, in which notorious political and environmental activists take the stage to expose large corporations and individuals for their greed, the students of Pitzer College were fortunate enough to host the duo and their producer, Laura Nix. Expecting a hilarious exposition and look into the elaborate schemes and motivations behind Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos, I found myself disappointed by their presence. Although their movie produced a large emotional and…

怀䢀埔r Piece #2 (1976) by Sol LeWitt, viewed at The University of Akron, at Collection of the Akron Art Museum, on September 16, 2014, is a great example of the artist’s work. Although his artwork ranges from wall drawings to these types of structures, and even sculptures, this object viewed at the museum represents the diverse works of art that were presented at his time period in an accordingly fashion. The theory that Sol LeWitt worked off of in the creation of his objects was, but is not…

the 21st of April. This museum had everything from classical antiquity sculptures to contemporary abstract art. The piece that I am going to discuss in detail is titled Encroachment and was painted by Jay Hall Connaway. When first looking at this oil painting, aspects of the scenery stand out most. The painting depicts waves crashing into rocks along the coastline. In particular, there is one wave that is in the process of falling down onto the rocks. There is water mist in the air from this…

Growing up, I remember always looking out the car window and staring at all the tall buildings. I’ve always been fascinated by the little things in life. This artwork instantly reminded me of how I looked at buildings myself as a child. I wondered if Hugh Mackenzie and I had something in common. When I came across this painting I actually stopped and stared, acknowledged and appreciated the hard work of etching. In pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a…

In my Thursday seminar 2 class we were to focus on an artwork emphasizing certain elements of art such as shape, mass, and light. I took a like in a certain landscape piece entitled “On the Beach” by Donna Gilbertson made in Australia. This is an 18” x 14” landscape painting, but this certain work is not dated. It is said to be “painted in a loose impressionistic style.” Seeing that “On the Beach” shows children on a beach likely enjoying themselves. I would say that this painting is very…
