Stand there, right in front of the painting; what do you see? Look closely, very closely and see the paint on the canvas flow through each brush stroke, see the colors expand and blur, and see how the lights play off the soft, vibrant colors. Watch the swirls expand out into an infinite space in time . The paint flies beyond the canvas and the shadows and reflections blur into one. The pinks, blues, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and browns blend together to create a symphony of colors.…

There are as many different styles and training methods as there are professional horse trainers, and the horse training books that are available are to numerous to mention. However, there is some agreement on the basic methods on how to train a horse, and caring for the horse hoof problems that will face anyone who's responsible for the animal. Do you have a foal that will need to be trained for riding? If you are looking for basic information on ways to train a horse after they have been…

Impressionism Art Painting can be idealized as a big movement from the 19th century and flourish in France. The Impressionist has normal methods of insight about painting, in spite of the fact that their styles varied broadly. They manage to catch the transient impacts of light through painting in short strokes of immaculate shading. Impressionist concentrated on the emotional impacts of air and light on individuals and objects. Pop art can be idealized as astounding and questionable. They…

Cézanne once said, “Monet is only an eye, but good God, what an eye.” Post-Impressionism is a clear continuation of Impressionism whereby it borrowed many of the techniques from Impressionism but added more formalism and emotion to the works while not being as concerned with the effects of light. I would like to now compare Claude Monet's 1879 painting Vétheuil in the Fog, as an example of Impressionism, and Paul Cézanne's 1904 painting Le Château Noir, as an example of post-Impressionism, to…

about the difference between indigenous and Western views of time? Standing Bear learn about the difference between indigenous and Western views of time because he noticed that he would have to learn a new language and could only speak English and not his native language. That he had to change his Indian cloths, the cloths he wore every day and had to change his cloths to suits, which was what westerns would wear. He was also was giving a new English western name.

In the left hand side of James Ensor’s ‘Masks Confronting Death’, there is a faint image of a face that has been painted over: a feature that I had not noticed the first time I saw the painting. However, as I was living in Connecticut I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York City multiple times, and each time I was able to examine this piece in further detail. I had a similar experience when observing Claude Monet’s ‘Poplars’ in the Fitzwilliam Museum. In the central…

The art piece that I’ve find very intriguing is the Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Édouard Manet.

The art piece was made in the year of 1832-33 and it is hang in the Paris Salon. The medium that is being used is paint. In the painting, the three elements that the painter has included are the texture, space, and color. As for the three principles of designs, he uses…

Botticelli painted the Primavera for Lorenzo and the most annoying part about this all is that it is not the Lorenzo that comes to all of our minds at first it is his cousin Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco. The art piece itself represents the renaissance in many ways, the use of perspective, the nature used as the background, and realistic people all throughout the painting. The art piece has a lot of inner messages making it much more interesting. For me when I found out the hidden messages throughout…
