floor and cafeteria, I saw a quite a few paintings and photographs. But as I was about ready to leave, some artwork in one of the hallways caught my attention. It was a series of four, landscape nature paintings. The four paintings had water in them. They appeared to be scenes of a river flowing with foliage and greenery on the sides.

mid-twentieth century. The two were part of the well-known Bloomsbury Group, and their home in Charleston as well as their work on the Church constitute the remaining evidence of the group's involvement with each other outside of London.

The presence…

all different locations and it wasn’t a focal point, just like in the other paintings we have seen. The style was rebellious and daring, that’s the reason why I find it fascinating and special.

The artworks I have chosen to discuss grabbed my attention through visual and emotions more than any other pieces of artwork. I want to compare and contrast the works of Gioia Fonda, because of the skill and patience needed to emplace art inside of the jars. Each artwork was created in 2017 and displayed at the Shasta College Art Gallery. Mt. Foolery captures the eye by gold flakes setting the ground floor with browns and black to show the mountains rising from the earth. The mountains made…

The most important factor is the fundamental breakdown of the piece which would be the elements of this piece. Initially, the elements in this visual art piece be the diagonal lines, it gives a feeling of movement or a sense of direction pulling with or from gravity. The colors composed of this painting…

full of paintings, and artwork representing the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The religious artwork in this exhibit displays beautiful narratives of Christ’s life, and his ministry. All of the paintings in this exhibit relate back to the Savior, and they really emphasize the greatness, and the mercy of the Lord, and many of them portray events that occurred during his life. In this exhibit, I really like the painting by James T. Harwood, “Come Ye After Me”. This was an oil on canvas…
