The artists I chose to compare and analyze are Hung Liu and Guillermo Gomez-Pena. These two artists specifically stuck out to me on this list because of the cultural nature of their work. I saw a lot of different faces and portraits as I was browsing each artist, but these two especially caught my eye. I believe they stood out to me in such a way because both of their works are extremely vibrant. While a lot of the other work involved observation from a distance, these two artists almost…

fuels the fire that is Dorian’s sins thus Lord Henry’s influence acts as Dorian’s catalyst towards bad behavior (Kelley). Dorian’s doppelganger lies in the portrait that Basil made of Dorian. The portrait bears the horror of the sins that Dorian commits beginning with his poor treatment of Sibyl, the object of his affections. With the portrait bearing the ugliness that is his soul, Dorian feels a sense of detachment from his sins and he revels in this detachment (Kelley). Dorian describes his…

I was immediately drawn to the man on the left with his powerful stance and wealthy appearance. It gave me the impression that he was a scholar and possibly royalty by his attire. The representation of the male on the right is a religious or clergy type person, I assumed this by his clothing of a dark cloak with…

my Zentangle project, I would improve a few small mistakes and things. First, I would improve some of the lines in the Zentangles and self portrait, as there are parts which are of different size and value within the same segment. Additionally, I would improve the self portrait because there are parts of the Zentangles that go a little inside the self portrait, ruining the perfection and unity of my work. My goals for the piece if I could do it over again would be to take less time working on…

On the narrow wall on the far left, Siqueiros placed a gold framed portrait of J.P Morgan, the…

The Seated Boxer and the Portrait Statue of Aule Meteli both made use of the medium of bronze, allowing way for realistic expressions of the human figure and engagement of the viewers’…

Justinian’s” making her the most significant character. The reason for her large halo is because she is seen holing a gold chalice “representing Christ[‘s] sacrificial blood” (Empress). She is sharing, and or giving, this offering. In contrast, Ingres portrait of Napoleon is a combination of “well-known frontal images of the deities Jupiter, or Zeus, and God the Father with the imperial attributes of the historical emperors Charlemagne and Charles V of Spain” (Sayre 622). So, while Theodora and…
