Reflection Old St. Louis County Courthouse
I was attracted by this piece among all the photographs in the museum. The obvious symmetric glass building in the front with a blurry reflection of other buildings that cought my eyes. The piece is named “Reflection, Old St.Louis County Courthouse,” and photographed by William Clift in 1976. It is a 30x40 cm black and white photography and the medium is Gelatin silver. The glass building is a rectangle shape with perpendicular to the side roads. It shows flatness and a shallow sense. But when you get closer to observe the cars along two sides into the reflection roads, it gives me a depth sense even though the reflection is a surface. According to the surface perspective, I think that William was probably stood in a higher point and the camera
Art Analysis: Oxcarts Hauling Stones By Leopold Mariotti
1343 Words | 6 PagesIf I was going to redesign the Lightener museum I would try to put this painting around marble statues from Italy during the time period of the Renaissance, when marble sculpting was big with artists such as Michelangelo. Moving this painting would change its meaning and value totally because of the content of the image. When surrounded by marble sculptures, or pictures of these great pieces of art will draw out the hard work that was brought into making the sculptures. For instance, when looking at David one may think about how much work and dedication Michelangelo put into his sculpture. Not necessarily how hard the labor worker put into extracting the stone from the mine, and carting it to the artist or store to be purchased for
Wittliff Art Analysis
514 Words | 3 PagesOn Friday, October 2nd, I visited the Wittliff art collection at Texas State University. I was very excited at how much art I was going to see as I made my way to the 7th floor of the Alkek Library, which is where the Wittliff art collection is located in. Sadly, with all of the artwork that was displayed, I was having trouble deciding on which art pieces to write this critique on. However, two certain 2-D pieces caught my eye. Out of all of the displays in the art collection, I ended up choosing Keith Carter’s photograph and Kate Breakey’s painted photograph.
Dale Chhuly Persian Ceiling Analysis
733 Words | 3 PagesDale piece the Persian ceiling is a beautiful piece the bright colors and the unusually shaped objects are just breath taking some pieces where flattened out and many of the shapes resemble jellyfish and other sea animals and it’s so amazing because it’s all glass nothing else. The glass used in the Persian are small, dense, and rare core-formed vessels that appeared during 1500B.C. in Egypt and again in 1300B.C. in Mesopotamia. Another pieces that I admire is the sculpture honoring Harriet Wyche. The sculpture is made of rose-colored Polyvitro, a material that Chihuly Studio creates by casting a special formula of polymer resins and dyes using molds formed from large “chunks” of glass. The Polyvitro elements are crystal-like in shape, and individual masses are attached to a central armature of powerful-coated, exterior-grade stainless steel to create a tower that is over eight feet tall.

Charles Dickerson's Mountain Waterfall
1228 Words | 5 PagesIf you look at the picture you can tell the rocks, water, and grass in the foreground of the picture seem to be darker, brighter and have more detail than the mountains and waterfall in the background of the picture. This allows the viewer to assume that the mountains and waterfall in the background of the picture are further away than the more colored and detailed part of the picture. Dickerson purposely achieved this idea using atmospheric perspective. When looking at Mountain waterfall the viewer can also assume that the mountains and beginning part of the waterfall are farther away because it looks higher up. Because the waterfall and mountains appear higher, the picture does not appear to be flat.

Patagonia Flower
575 Words | 3 PagesFor the reflection paper, the natural object I am choosing is a Patagonia flower. I chose this object because I have done landscaping for several years and it is my favorite type of flower. The influence of behindness, withinness, and otherness has an impact on society that should go unnoticed. If I am picking the dead petals off the flower from viewpoint, I cannot see behind the flower at the specific point in time. This is because the stem is blocking my view.

This gigantic sculpture suggests unlimited possibilities between life and nature.
