JMW Turner uses the aspect of line when he drew the fisherman's pole along with the mast and the fishing pole hanging alongside the boat. The Tone in this illustration is quite dark because it is very late at night or early morning, in the foreground the wave is so dark that it is almost black, then in the middle ground the moon is shining over the boat in the centre along with the boat next to the boat in the centre, then in the background you can see a bit of land and trees . JMW Turner uses quite dark colours all around the painting and makes the moons light,to light up and to emphasise or to bring attention to the fishing boat in the centre as well as to the boat close by. The water in this painting is quite dark and you can’t see much of the ocean except for the part where the fisherman is laying in his boat. The sky is full of dark clouds making the sky itself quite dark, but then again the clouds are gone in the area where the moon is to really emphasise the moons light and bring attention to the

Hiroshige uses the element of line but drawing all of the trees, house, etc. The tone in this painting is not as plain compared to the other painting of Hiroshige, because there are many different colours all around the the painting. The colours that Hiroshige uses are: green, yellow, red, white, orange, black and brown. The texture of the land it very detailed because the trees in the foreground are very detailed with every leaf as well as all of the mountain and hills with all of its trees there, along with the houses in and out of the mountain. The sky is a yellow orange colour with a light of black at the top and then some white spots around the sides of the mountain along with some fog. Like I had said in the painting above Hiroshige uses the element of depth by making the objects in the back ground much smaller and not as detailed as in the fore ground of his
The inner coffin of Meret-it-es originates from middle Egypt in the year 350 B.C. It is located with the rest of its collection at the Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art. The inner coffin is meant to be placed inside the actual coffin. The inner coffin is seven feet high and is the first thing that will catch the viewer’s eyes when they walk into the exhibit. The artist uses the elements of line, color, shape, texture, and space. The artist does this by using the element of color.
The line of choice for Ligon 's work is the outline. Underneath all the vibrant colors, are outlines of kids playing basketball, people, a fence, a house, some letters, Harriet Tubman, a butterfly, and a strange looking woman. This piece has nothing but bright and bold colors. The colors Ligon uses are colors straight from the rainbow. The only dark
It is clear how saturated and coloured washed the painting is. The mixture of red and orange colour seems dripping down which makes it authentic and produce a richer color and vibe. Also, it is interesting how Milne makes his paintings look fascinating with the use of watercolour. Obviously, Milne and with his creative using of watercolour has a great impact in the growth of modern art in
The appealing factor of this paintings comes from its message and juxtaposition of colours and stroke
In the story “Time of Wonder” the writer and illustrator Robert McCloskey creates a mesmerizing picture book. Throughout the book he relates his message to the reader of taking time to enjoy the weather and nature. Likewise, the reader is able to experience these events directly with phrases such as “IT’S RAINING ON YOU” (McCloskey 10). One event the reader is able to conjure up is the ocean in Maine with the taste of salt on their tongue. Moreover, the reader visualizes the calm sea on a sunny day and fears the roaring wind before a hurricane.
He completed 18 painting before the king’s mental state of mind and suspicion questioned West’s political loyalties which ended the project. The colors that Mr. West used in the painting are dimmed and dull with the exception of a white gown worn by a woman in the center of the painting (I will elaborate on that later). The color palette that he choose I believe was to show that atmosphere of doom and gloom for the passing apocalyptic flood that just cleansed the land of sin. The brush strokes that make up the human figures are thin and almost invisible to the naked eye.
Egley was able to utilize depth in order to render a work that appeared smaller as the observer’s eye moved from the foreground to background. The lines in this painting point toward one single point system as Egley created a perspective work of art by scaling the figures. Even the colors help guides the eye
All three artists uses the lines in weird directions such as crisscrossing and diagonal placements in both artworks. In the Blue (Crest), used different tints of blue and Vertigo, used different tints of orange giving two different views of the artwork. The blue used in In the Blue (Crest) helped with portraying the feel of water and the orange just seems as a color placed in the painting of Vertigo, even though with the lines it helps represents the chaos in the picture. They both were similar besides the dimensions, In the Blue (Crest) did give a different feel since it was three dimensional than the two dimensional
However, the top fraction of the painting is more light because it represent the sun and the other half of this painting has a darkness which can be the shadows of the lights or to illustrate the big rocks. An intuition of my part, is that I think this painting is depiction of harmony in nature. Indeed, the "Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund" is a painting that reflects the scenery beauty of the Hudson
In the Loge, by Mary Cassatt is a very interesting piece of artwork. The artwork depicts what appears to be a woman, viewing a play or some kind of entertainment inside of a theater. The woman’s gaze is set on whatever the entertainment in front of her is. However, the man across the theater is looking directly at the woman, yet he appears to be attending the show with a woman himself. This painting appears to be set sometime in the past, the outfits the people are wearing appear to be very outdated.
They lead your eyes to the large boat, onward to the bottom, where there are animals boarding it. The lines are also very sharp. They outline the shapes in the painting, giving the shapes a clear border. The next element is shape. The shapes are at very sharp angles.
The Deep An enigmatic piece of art, The Deep, was illustrated by an American painter, Jackson Pollack. This art is an abstract expressionist painting. It was created in the 1950s. This piece reflects a troubling period of alcoholism in his life. His influences were from Surrealism and Cubism.
This helps to create a close up look at the view outside the window suggesting the intimacy between the artist and the habitat outside. This is because the focus is almost wholly given to the view outside the window. The view, which is embellished by the presence of flowers sitting on the windowsill, and creepers climbing on the railing, is located in the center of the composition. Despite the lack of a line of symmetry and any logic or geometric order, Matisse has been able to draw the attention of the viewer’s eye through the use of bright colours, almost fluorescent, which were used to portray the calm sea with its floating blue boats, and the sky tinted with the colours of the sunset. The calm sea at the horizon is painted with unreal tones of pink, sky blue, and violet whereas the boat, painted with tones of indigo, orange and green, seem to move along with the light breeze.
He shows his focal areas with warm colors such as the vibrant yellows and reds. Then for the other parts of his art, he uses the absence of colors so that
This artwork is Picasso’s “Night fishing in Antibes” made in 1993. It is oil on paint of a dimension of 6’9” and 11’4”. With a quick glance, many people wouldn’t understand this painting’s meaning at first, some may even disregard it as simply a people fishing. However digging deeper into this painting, there is more foreboding and a significant message than one may think at first. Picasso creatively uses principles like color, space, shape, balance, form, composition in this artwork.
