Peak oil

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.

The portrait, ‘Bond of Union’, by MC Escher, was created in 1956, and depicts Escher’s wife and himself. Their heads are joined together in the portrait, so as to represent that they were molded from the same clay. Two are staring at each other, while their heads seem to be peeling. The portrait is composed of the faces and ordered, molecular spheres along a black background. The two figures seem to be peeling as an apple or orange does. The connected heads represent the union between them,…

Alleya Fogg Professor Steven Bunn Art History 366 05 June 2016 The Mystery in the Mirror Little is known of Jan Van Eyck's personal and early life. What is known, however, is that he was a revolutionary artist of his time. He used oil as a medium, the slow drying substance allowed him time to mix colors and create layers. The painting that most embodies Eyck's skills is the Arnolfini Double Portrait, painted in 1434. The painting is currently displayed at the National Gallery in London. This…

The first piece really inspired me because it had so much color and it had so much going on at the same time. It was almost like someone took a picture of a moving crowd. I saw plenty of things going on in that painting. Too much to describe in a short essay. But some of the things that I noticed were basic things that almost everyone saw. There was a snake that was eating a bird which is part of the cycle of course. Then I noticed that some of the animals were facing my direction as if looking…

The man is shown in three-quarters view with his face dramatically lit by light falling from the left. This device provides both striking contrasts of light and shadow and draws the…
