The galleries that I visited was the Broad Contemporary Art, AIhamnson Building, and The Art of the Americas Building. The artworks that I saw that had the principles of organization were “Construction (Untitled)” by George Grosz, “Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio” by David Hockney, and “Flower Day” by Diego Rivera. The principles that I saw in these artworks are proportion, movement, and dominance. The first artwork that I saw was “Construction (Untitled)” by George Grosz. The artwork was made by oil on a canvas. The principle that is used in this artwork is proportion. Proportion is a size of an object compared to another object. This artwork has proportion because there are different sizes of parts in the artwork. The relationship between the building and the human in the front of the building is significant. The building is tall, squared, and the artwork is heavier on the left. The …show more content…

The artwork that had movement was “The Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio” by David Hockney. This artwork had movement because the artwork showed the start and the end of the road or pathway. When I looked at this artwork I followed the pathway to see where it would take me. The road or pathway signifies movement. This road took me on a trip to the end of the road. This road is surrounded by trees, electricity towers, crops, and hills. The road starts at a tree then continues on to hill in the back. This artwork signifies movement because the artist portrays roadways where there are hills. The roadways pass by uphills and downhills. This conveys a wavy and smooth movement. It is a smooth movement because the road that starts from the tree to the hills smooth and straight toward the hills. The hills make it a wavy

    Out of the three activities I participate in at Anson High School, the National Art Honor Society would be one that has impacted me the most. When I was first put into the art class my sophomore year, I tried my hardest to drop the course. The reason being is because I knew for a fact I would not be able to fully enjoy the course with my lack of artistic skills. After being in the class for a month and completing my first art assignment, I realized how much talent I actually do possess. A passion for art was quickly created over the course of time.

  • Art Analysis Of Gino Severini's Armored Train In Action

    797 Words  | 4 Pages

    My piece that I chose to stare at for 20 minutes was Gino Severini’s Armored Train in Action. I chose this piece to spend my time at, particularly because of the way the composition is set up so that the train looks like it’s coming right at you, and the way that the artist uses not only tone, but his brush strokes also to create depth in the painting. Severini paints very colorfully and uses lighting and shadow, and if you look closer depending how the thing he is drawing or painting bends or folds, he will keep his brush strokes in that direction to show the bend not only with color but with the strokes in the paint themselves. George Seurat’s brush strokes come a lot to mind when i see them, but more in an organized fashion. Gino Severini was born April 7th, 1883 in Cortona Italy.

Bracken was yellowing, heather passing from bloom, and the clumps of wild-wood taking the soft russet and purple of decline. Faint odors of wood smoke seemed to fit over the moor, and the sharp lines of the hill fastnesses were drawn as with a graving-tool against the sky.” As Ellie drove down the road she was much more aware of all her surroundings.

  • Picasso's Mural Guernica During The Spanish Civil War

    225 Words  | 1 Pages

    Picasso's mural Guernica is quite the impressive work of art, not only for it's symbolism but also it's sheer size. This magnificent oil on canvas stands at a whopping 11 feet tall and 24.6 ft wide, and is an anti-war statement against the Nazi's bombing in a town called Guernica during the Spanish Civil War (PabloPicasso.org, 2009). The piece, I believe, best exemplifies cubism although this is widely debated and also shared aspects of other art types. The specific references that ties the piece of art in with the Cubist movement are the fragmented objects and figures, the limited colors. and the lack of the illusion of depth (O'Mahony, 2006).

    ‘Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening,’ ‘Birches,’ and ‘Mowing’” (Rukhaya). The woods can also dually represent self-reliance and nonconformity. By acknowledging his choice in the woods alone, the traveler shows that he is willing to “oppose social norms” (Rukhaya) and rely on his own instinct to come to a decision. As an extended metaphor for choice, it makes sense that the roads represent the journey of life and decision. There are two roads, two choices, and two representations of decision.
