Birds By Johnson Heada Analysis
In the painting by Martin Johnson Heade we see three beautifully painted hummingbirds in the South American rainforest.
This piece of art is Heade's most unique piece from a series of more than fifty other paintings due to the fact it is the largest one out of the series and it contains three birds while the others do not. This a beautiful piece of art. As I wondered throughout the museum nothing caught my eye like this painting did. The beautiful oil paint on the canvas had such lush colors in the flowers and hummingbirds. The scenery of the mountains in the background are so soft but strong. It is not a scenery that I am very use to seeing. The uniqueness of the rainforest is not something most people in the United States get to …show more content…
Seeing the red pink colored flowers makes me joyful and reminds me of the flowers I would receive during important days and events in my life. I feel at peace from this painting due to the nature that it submerses you in. I feel the tranquil effect from the mountains in the distance. Lastly, I feel the hope this painting gives me due to the way the sun is coming through the clouds. It reminds me of how I always say there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that not all hope is gone. You just have to make it through the darkness from the cloudy day to find the sun that is on the other side.
In the painting The Game by Terrell James shows a mix of beautiful colors in a modern way on a canvas with acrylic paint.
This piece is colorful and vibrant. The colors complement each other in a beautiful way that makes them dance around in your eyes. James used many different types of brushes and thicknesses of paint to create this piece. The lyrical lines and patches bring a since of water colors coming together. The colors used represent nature and being a since of landscape to the painting. The dark green reminds you of trees while the light green makes you think of grass. The pink reminds you of flowers while the blue and gray reminds you of the …show more content…
There are dark contrasting colors that pull your eyes from one side to another side of the painting. My eyes however immediately go to the colorful bright side. The contrast however is interesting it is almost like the dark and light side that everyone has. Some days you are happy while others are sad and miserable. It explains how life works. It's this constant back and forth pulling you from one side to the other. I guess on this certain day I was feeling bright when I looked at this painting. However, as I am looking at it today I realized the darkness in the painting. On this particular day I was feeling a little dark. Your perception of a painting can change just like your moods do. On day you might see something new that you didn't see the first time you examined the painting.
With modern art it doesn't have a certain image you are looking at. It is colors strategically placed to form a feeling and emotion that only the artist can really feel when they painted it. However, everyone that looks at it gathers their own emotions and feelings towards it. Certain colors may resonate with other people and remind them of an event in their life. For me all of these colors have always reminded me of happy

    Mark Bradford's 'When We Ride'

    I believe the bright colors are making a statement to emphasize on the major parts of the artwork. Showing the motion, makes you move your eyes along the imaginary wave. The slight tone of yellow makes me think of the sun come through the wave. The soft light of the off white background makes me think of a light blue sky that is clear of everything. Vague colors made me stare at the picture for long periods of time so that way I could understand why he created this on in particular. I thought maybe like times when he got bored and went to the museum; he created a scene of his bus ride there. Maybe he pictures himself at a beach and what it would be like to sit and watch someone ride a…

    Formal Analysis Of 'Hilltops' By Franklin Carmichael

    The colours he used are saturated, embodying power and bright contrast. The drastic use of colour depicts the overall dynamic of Carmichael’s work. The foreground has hills that are composed of different tones of greys that are warmed with the use of muddy browns to create volume. The coolness of the blues and greys in the sky are contrasted with the warmth of the hills that are accented with playful, liberal strokes of mustard yellows and greens that amplify warmth in the foreground. In opposition to the murky and mundane colours of the sky and foreground, he paints the sky with vivid tints of blue. The smooth gradation of the blue sky creates a softness that seems to resist getting consumed entirely by the dim colours of the clouds and hills. The artist has not restricted his colour palette and created a clear contrast between the uses of the two different temperatures of colours. The pairing of a wide range of contrasting colours demonstrated in the clouds, sky, and hills strays away from harmonizing the entire painting and suggests a force of creative…

    The small streaks that are only visible if seen in person allow the viewer’s attention to be easily directed to the content. Without the visualization of Clements’ brush stokes the viewer would not have an as clear next point to focus on which may lead to a different content. The work is surrounded by similar floral paintings done by Clements. Because the artwork is purposed to be sold in a gallery, the situation the artwork is in has its own positive and negative aspects depending on perspective. The gallery shows many artworks which can be viewed free of charge, but the main purpose of the art is to be eventually be sold for profit one again having a pleasant exterior and a darker center.…

    Regatta At Cowes By Raoul Dufy

    There is an overpowering use of cool colors in the painting as the different shades of blue in the water control the overall mood of the painting. The bits of green used in some flags, boats and an area of the water to the right of the painting help to keep that coolness. The use of the warm red, yellow, and orange colors help to warm up the painting just a bit by adding a bit of “pop” to it. All of the warm colors are very intense and appear to be pure. The monochromatic harmony of the blue water has different levels of intensity as the dark blue has a lower intensity.…

    Illumination By Casey Baugh: Poem Analysis

    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…

    The Magdalene with the Smoking Flame Analysis

    The contrast in this painting is used to draw one’s attention to the center of the photo, where the light is illuminating the objects around it. The type of balance in this painting is radial, since the candle light radiates outward from the center in a circular fashion. The emphasis of the candle light makes it unavoidable to the viewer. Also, the woman’s deep gaze into the light draws attention to it as well. The space around the focal point allows the viewer to focus only on that, because it is plain with no distractions.…

    Cosmic Cities Grand Canyon Of Arizona Essay

    The uttermost unifying piece of this artwork is the color. The use of atmospheric perspective relies on the color palette. It heightens the ephemeral quality of light and nature because it is constantly changing. The blues and purples are subtle and encompass the majority of the canvas. The blues are minutely changed and layered against one another. Dow’s color palette is made up of only complimentary colors that strengthen the contrast and reinforce the inspiring nature of light and form. Greens and reds are prominent in the foreground and appear grid like giving each level of rock…

    Run Lola Run Distinctively Visual Analysis

    The Red Tree depicts a young girl moving about her days almost consumed by depression and sadness. However Tan indicates that even when things seem overwhelming there is hope for a better day. In illustration ___ we see the salient image of a young girl trapped in a bottle by her oversized diving helmet. Her posture clearly indicates that she is unhappy and the bottle is slowly filling with water. There is no chance of escape as her oversized helmet clearly will not fit out the narrow neck of the bottle. Tan’s effective use of dark blue and grey further conveys the sombre mood and difficulty the young girl is facing. Through effective use of vector lines the viewer’s eyes are drawn along the horizon to contrasting white clouds, symbolising perhaps that there is hope on the horizon. Tan further emphasizes the sadness consuming the protagonist in illustration __. The salient image of a gigantic fish hangs over the young girl walking alone along a city street. The fish’ gaping mouth creates a vector line to the young girl who is hunched over and clearly unhappy, as she remains in the shadow of the fish while everyone else goes about their business ignoring her. Again, Tan’s…

    Art Timeline Research Paper

    This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

    ART ANALYIS

    Wiley’s piece communicates stability with straight horizontal and vertical lines. For example, in the young African-American man his broad shoulders, attire and unfamiliar posture challenges the viewers. Overall, it communicates a sense of power and authority. Wiley also challenges the traditional law of space. The space is shallow. The overlapping of flowers on the male figure stands out with a light blue background. It gives the male figure an illusion of height and width. Wiley shows ranges of blue tones in his jeans and brown tones in his skin. The painting has both primary and secondary colors; such as, the yellow and orange in his shirt and the red hat he’s holding in his left hand. Also, in the background he uses yellows, blues, greens and reds in the flowers. His painting has many highlights; for example, the highlights in the male figures right hand and arm, chin and neck, right pants leg, the hat and the top of his shoes. In addition, there are also many cast shadows; such as, in the males figures left pants leg, top of the hat, inside his right arm and the whole right side of his face. Wiley manipulates the paint to create visual texture of baggy, more ridged and tapered look in male figures pants. The floral motif exemplifies a feeling of movement all over and a natural pattern that are not exactly alike. When you look at this painting,…

    The Scream Analysis

    The Scream Analysis

    The bold curved lines of the sky flow directly into the figure and endure to form the body of the individual. Van Gogh uses long, heavy yet equal brushstrokes to express feelings and motion. Motion is the main element in this painting Vertical lines such as the tree and church tower delicately breaks up the composition without withdrawing from the powerful night sky. Van Gogh's use of white and yellow creates a twisting result and draws attention to the sky. And the usage of color to send emotion. Munch also used colors that were contrast between hot and cold colors, contrast of complimentary. By using artless forms, Munch is able to force his viewers to focus on the emotions that the sight and subject secrete rather than simply viewing an exact picture of one particular scene. The cautious use of balance also helps the viewers understand the indirect consequence of The Scream. Munch placed the unpleasant figure in the focal point and attains a sense of balance by inserting two smaller figures who are walking into the scorching sunset in the distance on the left side and by creating a dominant arch in the upper right hand corner. But the focal point created by Van Gogh is the tree-like structure projecting out on the bottom…

    Analysis of Albert Bierstadt's "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak"

    The variation of colors he used created an outstanding display of nature that I never thought possible. I believe his purpose was to create imagery, an illusion to the audience, as if they were looking into the American West, through his painting. The entity of light was the key element of this painting. The form of a fine white line amid a mass of water allowed the separation of the earth and the heavens. What is intriguing about the painting is that as quickly as the earth and heaves were separated, the two joined once again at the same location. The reflection of the lake elaborated on the purity of the water and the richness of life. The contrast of dark and light colors served a great importance in his painting.…

    Favorite Piece of Art

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…
