  • Blue Woman In Black Chair Sculptures

    and The Blue Woman in a Black Chair sculptures have demonstrate the various expressions sculptors can evoke. Through the usage of an approachable, engraved pedestal, the built bronze color and detailed outer aesthetics, Ana Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Varilla convey the dynamic message of the profound ideas Mr. King presented decades ago and the eternal impact those compelling principles will have for decades to come. Segal, on the other hand strays away from an idealistic approach for exchange of expressing the realistic behaviors of life. Through the placement of the drapery, the tranquil blue color, and ambiguous form of the quiet figure, Segal highlights the relatable sedentary behavior of slouching, inwardly focusing on one’s self and one’s thoughts. In a quiet setting like the Blanton, Segal’s sculpture resonates with many individuals, however his art work was placed in an outside setting, there would be a barrier in embracing and fully connecting with the sculpture at

  • Myron Discobolus Essay

    Overall, it really captures the moment when the discus thrower is about to swing his arm. There is directional force going from the arm, pointing in the direction that the feet are facing, which leads the viewer’s eyes as he/she looks at the sculpture. This creates a circular movement as the discus thrower is about to pivot by turning his torso; this is shown by the way his right foot is firmly planted on the ground while his left toes seem to be brushing the ground. The shape of this sculpture also conveys a sense of balance by forming two arcs that intersect.

    The first difference is the type of stone that each sculpture is made of. Menkaure and His Wife is made from a very strong, dark stone called diorite while Akhenaten is made from sandstone, a lighter stone. The second, very apparent difference is the fact that Menkaure and His Wife is a sculpture of two people, while Akhenaten is a sculpture of one person. There are many physical differences between the two sculptures. Menkaure and His Wife is a simpler, symmetrical piece that follows the canon of proportions.

    To me, this is what I would call an action sculpture because of his stance. With his arm stretched across his torso and twisting back gives me a sense that he is about to throw a rock or some type of material to engage in a fight. Also, focusing on the face we see that his expression is almost that of aggression, determination, and focus. He is engaged and determined to strike out whatever is opposing him.

  • Stu Oxley's Art Analysis

    416 Words  | 2 Pages

    “In the silence of their studios, busied for days at a time with works which leave the mind relatively free, painters become like women; their thoughts can revolve around the minor facts of life and penetrate their hidden meaning.” There’s a hidden meaning or objective behind every artist’s work. We all interpret paintings differently; some art can be forms of phi phenomenon (illusion of movement created by presenting visual stimuli in rapid succession), or others could be interpreting cues such as Monocular and Binocular. We can’t fully understand what the artist is trying to present unless there is an outline, but we can surely look at the texture, colour, line and shape of each painting to get a meaning for ourselves. A person that demonstrates a form of interpreting his art is Stu Oxley.

    Additionally this artwork showcases concepts that stems from cubism, surrealism and primitivism. Forms look flat and are cut presented geometrically, which make for an interesting composition in the scheme of the painting. It is also through these factors and the subjects that Picasso articulates his story. Briefly this artwork shows 2 fisherman, one holds a spear, and the other looks over the side of the boat and holds the spear with his foot.
