Three Graces Under Pressure: Concert Report
The Gallery I did my review on was at Illinois Central College in room 336B. The show was called “Three Graces Under Pressure” by Patrica McWilliams, Sherri Denault, and Margie Glass Sula. The artwork together felt very calming, peaceful, and abstract. There is wood artwork that has some kind of carving. The artistists call this artwork “Tinted Graphite on Wood Panel”. There is also some type of white clay sculptures sitting on a tree branch or either on a pedestal. Another part of the artwork is a couple abstract paintings. The paintings look like they were painted with impasto technique. Threads created the other part of the artwork. The threads were designed and molded a certain way hanging on the wall. There were many different types of …show more content…
I thought that all the artwork belonged together. All three artist’s artwork blended with each other. The woodwork blended with the white clay sculptures because a piece of wood was holding one of the sculptures. The paintings contained the colors white and black. The white in the paintings blended with the sculptures and the black blened with the thread work. Over all, the show connected well. The layout was perfect. All the artwork was spaced out evenly and mixed up. Most of the artwork was hanging on the wall, but the white sculputures were found in the middle and in a …show more content…
This art piece does not have any patterens, but has lines and texture. The piece is drawn on a piece of wood with graphite. Patricia McWilliams drew a crow with its wings out in the middle of the piece of wood. The texture looks like it would feel rigid and scratchy. The piece would feel like someone rubbing a piece of wood. The lines look like they run through the crow’s wings. Patricia McWilliams drew the crow in the lines of how the wood ran. The lines give a sense of movement with the crow’s wings. The color and light is very basic. The wood is a lighter tint and the crow is a dark shade of black. Even though the crow is black, Patricia McWilliams erased parts of the crow and shaded some of the black. There is not much light in the piece besides the crow is denser causing it to be darker. The crow takes up most of the space in the piece and the shape is square around the crow. In my opinion, this piece has implied motion. The crow looks like its about to take flight and fly

    Action lies in the relationship between the artist’s choice of colours, space, and lines. He uses vibrant and rich colours to grab the observer’s attention and to create visual interest. Carmichael made excellent use of space by organizing the composition of the landscape. A foreground, middle ground, and background created depth in his work. Line is a vital aspect of movement and dynamic activity in the painting and was demonstrated through the varying lengths of bold, horizontal brush strokes. Collectively, all these formal elements, the use of contrasting temperatures of colour, thick lines, and solid forms all encapsulate the work’s energetic…

    This work of art would be a prime example of 20th century sculpture expressionism as well as the one above. This sculpture shows an actual life size woman and man , the love and unity between a man and a woman as they lay there both with their bodies positioned very closes together to bring comfort and togetherness. The woman looks like she is asleep and so does the man and both of their knees are bent, the woman has her knee positioned up and the man has his knee positioned down and the and the mans head is on the woman’s shoulder, they are both comforting one another and their minds to be at ease as long as they are near each other.…

    I chose to do my review project in “The High Museum”, in Atlanta GA. It was found in 1905 and its very first name was Atlanta Art Association. Also it is the one of the most visited art museum in the world. While, visiting High museum, I was drawn to two particular pieces from two very different artists. The Chest and drawers by Teyo Remy, gained my attention because of creative design and deep meaning. My other favorite piece is “The beginning of Life in the Yellow Jungle”, by Thorton Dial. I will be comparing two artist from Modern and Contemporary Art period.…

    The framings on the artwork were spectacular. I loved how they varied in sizes and décor. They seemed to be set up around the artwork in order to strengthen the piece, in the sense of quality wise. They were never too extravagant to take away from the original artworks beauty. Some of the frames themselves alone could have been works of art.…

    The art elements shown in “Black Pillow” are that it has a very warm feel to it since warm colors are used; it almost makes you feel like you are there outside in the hot field and gasoline. It is loosely spaced out since there is no color in the background that fills it up a lot except for some yellow lines and spots. It definitely has bold colors to it and has no greyscale in it. The yellow has a significant contrast from the background and the black as well. The line of the corn leaves looks very alive and natural while the roots in the gasoline are stiff, rough and dead looking.…

    The art piece is representational, the lines are sharp and there are various and different shapes. The texture is smooth and there has been more than one colour that has been used in the painting. The tone shows that the sun is on him even though there is no sun shown in the portrait. Space and depth has been used as you can tell the objects are further away and the ones that are closer up and in detail.…

    The “Storm King Art Center” is an open air museum. The 500 acred park is filled with fields, hills landscapes, and sculptures, making it not only a park, but a museum. Just by looking at pictures and videos of the place I feel enhanced by the beauty of it. I don't know much about art, but i can still see the beauty of everything in the park, you dont have to be an expert to realize how amazing the work is. Although it is an hour away from the city, they say its like being in a whole 'nother country, and a perfect escape from the hustle of NYC. Rolling acres of beautiful fields, small forests and hills is what it is, then it is dotted with amazing modern sculptures and sculptures that are made of natural earth and stone. More than 100 different sculptures are sited in different parts of the park so perfectly, that you'd think that everything was ment to be there. Not only the sculptures are things to look at, but so is the area, where everything is placed, and what it's placed on, the whole thing is an art work, not just the sculptures.…

    I think the painting is a form of expression in which the intention is to give the viewer an increased awareness of how we have become a materialistic society. Because of our increased desire for the better things in life it is easier to allow ourselves to become distracted and lose sight of what is truly important in life. As a society we want to strive to be better in everything we do. In the past our american culture has taught us right from wrong, to love God and country and to stand true to our families. The importance of those morals and values seem to have disappeared.The black bird or raven can be a positive symbol of mankind's desire to be moral and spiritually…

    The first section of the concert was the most delightful and satisfying to listen to. The violins and woodwinds were the main melody for most of the piece. Both instrument made the texture of the beginning very calm and satisfying by playing legato notes that gradually crescendo/decrescendo. The texture made me to feel relaxed and at ease. I would describe the text painting as a calm ocean, the feeling of drifting in calm water. Half way through the piece, the clarinets and flutes began to follow the entire orchestra and its smooth tempo, which inevitably became louder and more powerful near the end of the piece.…

    This one seems to fit in with the other art creations at the Jen library though, because around it the other works of art are almost the same in size, this helps give you an idea at how very large this other piece is. Unlike the first piece, this one has a wood base that is left unpainted or stained. Then close to the bottom left corner it has wood planks with white plaster on them all laid pointing outwards from a circle in the center, it reminds one very much of a giant daisy without a yellow center, unlike the top one you get a happy feeling because of this bright beautiful flower. The planks however are torn at the end, and this beautiful daisy starts to look more battered and worn down, it’s kind of sad. Placed above the hole where the yellow pollen of a flower should lay is three rows of five blocks. All of the blocks are made of foam and painted a bright pink, and they are all lined up in straight rows and are uniform, except for one at the bottom left, that one is slightly tilted. In the end I loved how this looked, and when going deeper into the meaning you can really see why this connects so well with the other darker art…

    The poetry “Amazing Grace” by John Newton is one of the most famous poems ever written and composed. “Amazing Grace” has been particularly influential and has affected lives since it was written. The reasons why “Amazing Grace” is influential are for the same reasons why I found this poem very interesting and engaging. The literary elements that attributed to the poem’s quality and importance are its form, content, and tone. These elements are what make “Amazing Grace” such an important and significant piece of poetry in history.…
