Reflection On Art

Reflection: Week #2

After completing the chapter and discussion for this week, I was able to effectively understand the different types of paintings used throughout history. In addition, I was able to expand my art vocabulary and knowledge by learning the advantages, disadvadegs; and history associated with a majority of the painintings that were found domintley in the past. The vocabulary I learned consisted of the types of art that I didn’t know much about; as well as the different elements of painting that help viewers of art to understand what the artist is trying to potray using a variety of different lines. The paintings discussed in this chapter included fresco, oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, abstract, representational,

This is because, I love how abstract art is made using a variety colors and a variety of materials. In addition, I love how these artists, are able to make their audience think and deeply examine their painting’s; in order for their audience to understand what exactly the painting is potraying, as well as the message, tone and emotions depicted in the work of art. In this week’s discussion we were responsible for explaining our favorite type of art and why. We were also responbile for giving two examples of this paining including information with the style, artist, medium and also the time period it was made. I did this discussion wrong for week 2, by discussing my foavorite type of sculpture from chapter five, when the chapter for week two was 4 which was paintings. I just thought that since Part 1, chapters 1- 3 was assigned for week 1, that week 2 would conist of reading the entire Part 2; similar to what we did the first week of semester. Moving on, as I mentioned earlier my favorite type of painting from chapter 4 was abstract. One of the painings, I emailed my professor, that I really liked was entitled “Untitled” (Trieste). This painting contains a variety of different colored lines that are

The dark blue is a long line that starts from the bottom of the paper and touches the top of the paper. The dark blue line is only dark in the center, you can’t see too much of the line at the bottom or top. But, it makes you think from looking at it that it was long and touched the bottom and top. The red line is a curved line attached to the dark blue line, where the color dark blue is easily seen and represented. The green line comes the bottom centerand goes diagnoel to the left. A A majority of the lines being represented in this paining are not thick, but rather have a very thin and narrow consistency; expect for the white short and curved lines. The white lines are located on the left side of this painting in the upper left corner of the paper, these are the most recognizable lines on the painting. Next we have texture, after looking at this paining the texture of this painting reminds me of a crumbled piece of paper because; they both contain a variety of different lines, shapes and textures. Also, because I feel it looks like a crumbled piece of paper flattened out. I feel that if you were to touch this piece of art that it would feel soft and possibly a little rough based on what the author used and
