Panel painting

the ground that the British happened to slaughter. The picture has a much deeper meaning than just another painting it develops the understanding in others that this was one of the main events that had lead up to the war. The dead bodies on the ground was only the beginning of many more to come that is also why I found that detail of the painting very significant. The chaos that this painting seems to portray is also another given example of the chaos that was soon to come with the beginning of…

Andy Warhol was a successful ad and magazine illustrator who became a leading artist of the pop art movement in the 1960’s. Warhol was born on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was always a very quiet and people thought of him as an introvert. Throughout his lifetime, he went into a wide variety of performing arts, including filmmaking, video installation, and writing. He also controversially blurred the lines between fine art and mainstream aesthetics. Andy Warhol died at the age…

In 2010 Charles Spitzack graduated from Cornish College of the Art in Seattle, Washington with an emphasis on Print Arts and Drawing. Originally from Minnesota he was raised in a family with carpentry skills, this knowledge influences his technique in woodblock and extends to building his own frames for his work. Spitzack primarily works in woodblock, and this medium is what is represented in his gallery shows. He has had multiple solo exhibitions as well as group exhibitions, mainly in…

The sculpture of Venus de Milo is a marble statue of a woman. Her face and body are turned to the side and she is looking into the distance. Her full face has dominant features with a large nose and thick lips. Her hair is curly and arranged in a thick bun on the back of her head. Her neck is long, and from the side one can see a fullness that matches the roundness of her hips. She has a strong core since her upper stomach has clearly defined muscles. From the back angle, one can observe her…

the artists use to create artworks” (Mittler 18). For example paint is an example of art media. So if someone was painting a picture, their paint would be their material they used to create their picture. “Art process is the action involved in making art.”(Mittler 18). For example painting is an example of art process(Mittler 18). So if someone is painting a picture, when they are painting, that is the art process because it’s the action they are doing to create art their picture. So how they…

I will be talking about the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. In this particular painting the artist really doesn’t use the Encaustic method. It looks likes da Vinci use the tempera technique because the painting has a certain glow or transparency to it. The painting looks like it was painted on a stone. Most artist back then use the tempera method on stone. The fresco method is not used in this painting. It is not a fresco because you cannot change or modify when an artist…

The most visible building is some type of barn dressed in a chain link fence that becomes a wooden fence. Taylor’s “paintings,” as she calls them, are not necessarily of images people want to see but of images people need to see. I think Taylor and Saar’s works illustrate the daily struggles of people and speak into an idea of social status. Upon entering the NCMA, one…

During the unit, I have been practicing many drawing techniques such as contour, gesture, line and value with a variety of different medias. I even went and learned to identify these techniques in other artist's work. While doing my transformation project, I realized that drawing and observing related. This eventually helped me very much in making my Transformation Art Project showed above. This gif is made out of a total of four drawn images. To make them, I observed my model very closely and…

as much. My sophomore year of drawing and painting covered several of art forms. Most of the time we copied pictures off of the internet and recreated them in a different form of art. I used oil pastel to mimic a basic color picture, it was pretty simple I just had make it look as close as the original. Using charcoal to mimic the ceiling of a roman catholic church took a while to get a precise shading of corners, due to the angle of the photo. Painting was an enjoyable thing to do because I was…

William Kentridge’s style is easily apparent through his many works highlighted in Drawing in Passing with rather signature features. The medium, movement, texture, and the very nature of the work build upon each other to create a very unique result. The medium of choice is charcoal, both brushed and drawn. The light, fast flourishes of the brush and the swift flicks of his wrist create a fluidity through each piece, even in individual still frames. The fact that it is animated adds to this…
