Summary Of Ellen Jewett's Octopus '
In Ellen Jewett sculpture she has made an octopus. The colours involved in the sculpture is a combination of light blue and dark blue colours with some yellow hints on the tips of the tentacles. The centre of the octopus is darker and as you reach to the end of the tentacles it gets lighter. The colours blend together nicely and they flow together well. The colours remind me of the ocean and the creatures that live inside of it. The tentacles are long and sharp at the ends. It is scaly and also looks like blue coral in the ocean. It reminds me of how the ocean and how the colours are dark blue in some places and then when you get closer to the shore the colours become lighter you see this happening with the yellow, blue and light greens.

    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…

    The dominant colors are sea blue, a tint of gray, and within the cracks, a soft gold. Only a few soft colors are being used, therefore creating a muted piece of art. There is a certain sense of harmony in the vessel because the gold and the grayish-blue combine well together forming a balance that does not allow one color to show more vividly than another.…

    Marks use of monochrome blue is what really drew me to this piece. By using only blue I believe Mark has perfectly reflected the mood and atmosphere of the situation through the use of color. The blues seen in the painting are mostly deep or dark blues with the only lighter softer blues seen in the calm waters of the lily pond. Even in the water we see the reflection of the dark clouds above…

    She, as an artist, was forgotten during these turbulent times. By using a complimentary color scheme, the red lobster becomes a strong focal point, with the red vibrating against the green tones of the background. It is interesting to note that a painting, Still Life with Lobster, which she completed…

    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.…

    The water is painted a very light shade of turquoise like something you would see on an island in Hawaii or Puerto Rico. The waves are small but painted white as if they are crashing hard onto the beach. In the background there are rocks and what appears to be a ridgeline that reaches as far as the eye can see. Everything up until the ridgeline is very clearly painted until you look up into the sky and it…

    Howard works in very thick layers. She separates colours and leaves crisp definition between each stroke. Here it seems as though she has used a tool such as a knife or card, and has dragged the paint across the page. She has also picked out undertones such as purples, greens and oranges and has intensified these colours and made them really stand out. She manages to do this without overpowering the reflections and water like look.…

    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…

    There are mostly organic lines with varying lengths. The wave looks like one long curved line and then the smaller ripples in the ocean decrease in length as they come closer but are also wavy. This contrasts with the straight line in the trunk of the palm tree. You can also see the vertical lines from the surface of the cardboard. Despite cutting into the cardboard, there are only 2D shapes. I manipulated the positive and negative shapes through intuitive perspective. Occlusion is visible with the big wave and the palm tree covering the rest of the ocean. Texture gradient and relative height on ground plane are both seen in the ripples of the ocean. The wavelength of the ripples decrease the farther back it goes and they get higher on the ground plane the farther back they get in order to give the ocean distance. I chose to paint everything it’s local color, the ocean is blue, the sun is yellow, the palm fronds are green, and the cloud is white. There are various tints of the primary colors and a couple secondary colors. The ocean and wave is monochromatic but with multiple values. I made the value scale of blue on the wave to make it stand out from the rest of the ocean. The white on the crest puts emphasis on the wave because it is more saturated than the rest of the colors. I used analogous hues for the sun with the red, orange, and yellow. The…

    Hokusai vs JMW Turner

    Oceans of Wisdom is a landscape narrative in a way because it is showing the importance of fishing, the ocean and whaling for the culture. It is a multicolored woodblock print done with very bright cool toned colors. The gradual change in the colors in some areas were done with a dotted effect especially seen around the whale with the blue and the white. The texture of the painting seems very rough and a lot of fine lines are used to define space. Not a lot of shading with gradual change in color is used to give dimension, giving the piece a very flat look.…

    “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown)? No person can say or do anything without one taking it too personal and getting offended by it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and belief but that does not mean they have the one correct opinion. Everyone has a story or background about their life that few people know about. Everyone has worked hard for something and failed. So why is it now people are constantly in disagreement with others beliefs and think they have some sort of say in it? Social media makes it easy for people to argue without talking in person. Society has brainwashed people into thinking that only one way is right—even though everyone has different pasts and perspectives. People need to…
