Watercolor painting

My initial impression of the image is that it is a picture of a race riot copied four times and colored to look like the American flag. By changing the color of the picture Warhol might be commenting on the subject matter of the race riot by saying that it doesn’t matter that the people are black or white everyone deserves to be treated the same. Maybe Warhol feels that this picture is the best representation of America at that point in time. It is most important for Warhol to imbue this image…

an art camp with my friends, so even outside of school I am still drawing. Art has always been something I have found fun, from coloring, painting, drawing, and even playing with clay. I am applying for Art 1 to continue and grow my love for art. I love to be involved in art in anyway that I can. My favorite activities would include drawing and painting. I like…

grass blades. They’re everywhere, and show up in many different topics. Even when given the same information or base knowledge, people can form different opinions. People can have completely different ideas about what a painting represents, although they are seeing the same painting. This is due, in part, to the different perspectives that people view the world with. It also has to do with the emotional response that art and something like ethical choices elicit in a person. It’s not going to be…

Motion / Emotion is a collection of dark ghostly creatures, dangling limbs and lingering scenes. “Messager works across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and installation, and the exhibition includes pieces from her early career up to now. Messager’s works reveal a keen interest in humanity and its fragile, emotional core.” From entering her exhibition and walking through, I feel as though each piece embraced new and different emotions. The first piece that she had on display was one…

. The background of the painting is borrowed form Albert Bierstadt’s Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California which was done in 1868. Bierstadt’s painting depicts a serine, dream-like, empty landscape, what appears as if Bierstadt is the first human to ever set foot there. These types of landscape paintings were not uncommon in the mid nineteenth century, with many artists depicting North America as an empty, unclaimed land that was waiting to be discovered and colonized by European…

the most famous work of Han Gan (韓幹; active CA. 742–756), a leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty (唐618–907). To Grace Glueck of The New York Times, Night-Shining White is “one of the most appealing animals in Chinese art” (Glueck, 1997). This painting reveals a window to reach a further understanding of Chinese culture, as it points out the socio-political role that art played through the ages, and still influences the mindset of these people. Subspecies of the Asian wild horse are a native…

The painting is about six-foot-tall and five-foot-wide, and it almost spans the entire height of the wall. Roughly two inches thick, the clean, white edge adds a tremendous amount of weight and sincerity to the object. The painting is so enormous that the human in the picture is portrayed like a powerful god figure, larger than the average being and staring right down at the viewer. Marshall’s eyes glaze right into the viewer’s eyes from above, as if the painting is trying to communicate…
