Triptych

their artwork, expressing similar emotions while conveying different meanings to the viewers. Lachrymal by Jasmine McCullough was created after an inspiration from artist Ian Friend. The artwork consists of ink and watercolour paper. It is a triptych piece of artwork where it has been displayed on three largely scaled glass frames, aligned together. Thus, making the middle frame more eye capturing. The minimalistic colour scheme of black were used in strokes, alternating in both horizontal…

acrobat, magician, landscape, comic, children, sumo wrestlers, and women prints, to more pornographic prints, to Chushingura (which is translated into Forty-Seven Ronin, these were made into a movie a few years ago), to the warrior triptychs and diptychs. These warrior triptychs and diptychs, contain some of my favorite prints created by Kuniyoshi. In 1853 he created around 20 prints that year, that in my opinion are some of the best ukiyo-e prints ever made. The amount of color and detail are…

Grant, I hadn't seen the word triptych before and wish I had looked it up before reading the story rather than after, it is an apt title. I enjoyed the story. You have some fantastic imagery throughout the piece. The image of his friend painted black and “being photographed by an older woman with buzzed hair wearing boots and suspenders,” I felt captured her essence and did an excellent job setting the tone for how she interacts with the world and the boys. The image you used of her death is…

Each area of knowledge includes an endless amount of information that is hard to understand if looked at on a surface level. When I started brainstorming subtopics under each area of knowledge, I could not stop because there are just so many. In order to fully comprehend this information and gain it as knowledge, one must use the ways of knowing. The ways of knowing allow us to look at each area of knowledge through a lens that helps us better analyze the information. Looking at each area of…

In Giotto's "Lamentation", color is used to create emotion by using soft colors. Color used are a light blue, pale pink, soft green, creme color, light orange, etc. I believe these colors create a calm emotion such as sadness or worriness. The shade of blue that was used takes over almost of half of the picture, I believe this shade of blue is gloomy. If any bright or even dark colors were added to the painting it could take away the importance of the painting. The use of color does have a…

“Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” – Berenice Abbott A photograph displays more to the human eye than expected; on “looking” at photographs we are captivated in an artistic narrative formed – it’s said that we are engaged in personal creation that is not provided with given endings, reflections are modified, something’s are altered, memories are re-defined, and “new” memories and expectations develop. With this being said,…

to work, you see there are many creative directions and paths you can take, and none will lead you the wrong way. Here is one example from my favorite art teacher, who I was fortunate enough to complete an independent study with. We were creating triptychs (a three panel art piece), our only requirement was that it needed to include a bird. By assigning just one requirement leaves numerous options for the execution. My project became an elaborate opening bird house with a garden scene of…

Rosenquist pursues a shared philosophy of self-criticism held in Thiebaud and other modernist painter’s works, but displays this concept in a way contrary to previous artists. The work itself is a triptych of common objects in modern culture at the time displayed vertically. Each portion depicts a cropped view of said objects creating three segments of abstraction. “Rippling, shiny pink fabric” makes up the bottom portion, the middle “an image of hood…
