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…

Those elements of design are what caught my attention to this artwork. My personal interpretation was that this piece portrayed nature. I noticed water foreshortening between large rocks. I noticed the red train tracks that trail off the artwork into another direction. Lastly, the sky is a variety of colours, to me reminds me of a summer sunset. Gordon…

Although he started off his career by being a portrait painter, he increasingly started to paint landscapes and the effect of natural light.

Eye Test was an oil painting done by Mark Tansey in 1981 and is currently being exhibited at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. In this painting, there is a cow standing and observing a picture of the other cows. While around a cow is a group of good looking men, they are all dressed in suits and wearing glasses. They are watching and recording the “real” cow’s reaction to revealing the “non-real” cows in painting. Why is it that the artist lets a cow observe the painting instead of…
