Good job for those who blogged- Who is Brownie? Pierre you needed to mention an artist in your blog.
Pick any artwork in the book except from Chapter 4 or 5 and talk about in at least two terms we discussed today.
For Example: The Scream by Edvard Munch - The scream uses color to create an
emotional effect. The strong brushwork using red and yellow-orange with strong
intensity creates a frentic effect. The complementary contrast of blue and orange
also contributes to the vibrancy.
Something like that. You could talk about line, color, perspective etc

I chose Wifredo Lam and his 2-D art called "The Jungle". The Cuban artiest uses lines to exploit both the transparent and opaque possibilities of gouache which is watercolor with inert white pigment, in the Jungle. He combines human and animal forms using primarily the color blue. I thought is was very interesting.
I choose "Seated Woman Holding a Fan" by Pablo Picasso because it uses warm colors like reds and oranges to set the mood of the painting and the colors are complementary colors which are opposite on the color wheels.
I picked Andrew Wyeth "That Gentleman". His use of earthy tones give a sense of oldness and his use of shadows create perspective making it look 2D. Also, His detailed work on the shoes and the table give a visual texture of how old and beaten the shoes and table are.
I choose "Mixtec Culture" by Diego Rivera because it shows emotional effects. If we looked deeply we can come to the conclusion that creates his own culture. How it shows a river with diferrent tones that shows that the river have movement. The landscape and its people create emotional responses to it.
Aaron Douglas mural “From Slavery through Reconstruction,” the warm colors such as brown, orange, and yellow are tinted together to distinguish most activities shown. The circular movement created can be sense of chaos, with atmospheric perspective, given as an example of the distance traveled. He also shows a time line within the painting, showing he’s people evolved within the years from slaves to free people.
Jackson Pollock’s “Shimmering Substances” has patches of color swirled together, and the short, overlapping brush strokes appear to have no sense of direction at all. Apart from all of the white used, there are shots of primary colors, mostly yellow and red, randomly swirled throughout. By using yellow, he creates a large circle in the middle of the painting, perhaps representing the shimmering substance, which could be the sun or a star.
Paul Cezanne's "Sainte-Victoire" is a quite unique painting. He used lines as his basic method to make the scenery look like a moving point. The clouds seems to move in a particular direction and its all because of the fact that he used the line method. He also used the primary and secondary colors which are blue and green as his main theme. Basically, he tried to bring the clouds and the grass in attention to the viewers.
I chose Enrique Chagoya's "Life Is A Dream, Then You Wake Up" From this piece you seem to get a sense of chaos by the way he layered the different faces on top of each other, so when you look at it you try and determine which face you should be looking at. Also his use of the lines around the head seem to symbolize energy or maybe movement of somekind. He also used a bold color along the bottom of the art piece that stands out along with the head that is painted blue.
I chose Francisco de Goya's Chronos Devouring One of His Children. From the moment you look at the art piece it almost demands an emotional response of fear and torment. The use of chiaroscuro in this piece is also strongly forced with the negative space in a rich value of dark brown/black and the mans body in the different hues, mainly of a burnt yellow. I feel the intensity of the red blood is the main focal point as its contrasted against the lightest point in the portrait.. The man is leaning in a diagnal position which also implies energy. If Goya was trying to portray the agony of his time period he did a great job!
in Alexandre gustave eiffel tower implied shape was used in the figure of a triangle. it also has a three dimensional shape when looking at it from any angle. one of the great and huge art pieces of the world.
My favorite is Vasily Kandinsky and his work, Composition IX. It is nonobjective; the lines are diagonal showing action or movement. Primary colors are mainly used. The shapes are 2 dimensional, flat texture with no pattern, and no time. It does have variety, it provides interest with no meaning or reasoning. Don't we just love the unknown? Human crave to KNOW everything. Its so intriguing! I love this PaintinG!
