Chapter 8 World Of Art By Henry M. Sayre

Consider the painting The Railroad Bride, Argenteuil by Claude Monet. This artwork looks simple, but uses geometry and one point linear perspective. Monet uses a sense of opposition is created by the alternating rhythm of light to dark established by the bridge pillars and the color orange and blue in both water and smoke from the train above. The light and dark areas given the picture asymmetrical balance between the dark and light areas. Monet uses one point linear perspective to create the bride. He uses proportions in the relationship between the parts of the object and the whole object by using geometry. Monet uses grid like geometry. The wooden structure support under the bridge is the same overall structure of grid and diagonals. Other lines are the apparent in the two diagonals as well as opposing directional lines of the train and the boat. The smoke shows direction of the wind and that the boat is moving that way as well. The visual weight/balance of the sail boat is smaller than the bridge. I believe the focal point is the new bridge for the train and new travels was is focal point in the picture.

For example, the subject of the Mona Lisa sits in front of a landscape and is centered in the piece with a portrait orientation. In Warhol’s art piece, Marilyn Monroe’s head is also centered, and Warhol also uses a portrait orientation. The placement of both subjects at the center of each artwork immediately captures a viewer’s attention. This placement works to creates balance and focal interest within the art pieces: the Mona Lisa balances the landscape in the background while Marilyn Monroe’s head becomes a point of interest in a negative space of a muted background. This placement allows the artist to control the viewer’s focus, perhaps an intention. Similarities also exist in the use of color. Although, Warhol use vivid colors to depict Marilyn Monroe’s face, the hue of the background color is a muted gold

A specific design principle I noticed is color and along with another design principle, focal point. I know I was only supposed to talk about one principle, but these two coincide together. In the background, the artist uses complementary colors of orange, yellow and brown depicting the color of fields. The sky is an eerie color of gray and blue. The color that really pops out is the light pink hay that the donkey is holding.

Kehinde Wiley is a New York based artist whose paintings focus on the themes of empowering black men and combining classical and contemporary styles.

This painting really makes me feel happy and overjoyed. The bright and vibrant colors really stand out to me. In my opinion, there isn’t really a focal point in this piece because the entire painting is the focal point. The subject of this piece is a landscape of the Rocky Mountain National Park, specifically, Longs Peak. There are clouds and a blue sky

With the use of all the elements of design, Sir Peter achieved various other principles of design. Balance, for instance, is established through the placement of the forms in the piece. Although more lions are on the left side of the piece, the lions on the right are much more bigger than the left, with more details and also more action to their forms as well. The main figure, Daniel, is also not entirely centered, which helps balance the painting

The great thing about art, is that there are multiple portrayals of one idea but, the artist’s own personal style allows one to feel something that another may not. Early Renaissance painters, Giotto di Bondone and Duccio di Buoninsegna established their own unique style to depict a biblical scene known as, The Betrayal of Christ. Through a close analysis of each artist’s representation of, The Betrayal of Christ, one is able to compare and contrast the artists own understanding of the scene through their attention to detail, character, and space throughout the painting. When examining these two works, one will have a stronger emotional response towards Giotto’s interpretation rather Duccio’s, due to his methods of handling organization, figures, and space.

Women have been using birth control methods for over thousands of years. Today, we have various effective birth control methods available to woman. Such as the pill, patch, shot, or IUD. Birth control is a safe way to prevent pregnancy. You can purchase birth control at your doctor’s office, planned parenthood, a clinic, or a public health care provider. They will first discuss your medical history with you, then check your blood pressure and finally you will discuss which birth control method is right for you, and they will send you on your way with your prescription. Birth control can be purchased at your local drugstore and costs up to 50 dollars. In a lot of cases though, young girls and even older women cannot afford or access these types of birth control. There are concerns about being unemployed which results in no income coming in for birth control, lack of health insurance the woman may have and whether or not the woman can afford having a child, even more during an economic crisis. By having women’s birth control free it will not only decrease the chances of abortion, help women financially , help with women’s menstrual cycle, and also by lowering the teen pregnancy rate, and having them have the power to decide when they want to have children. Many people can argue that the government shouldn’t have to provide another free service and that the cost

The main focus of this paper is to show the connections between aggression and peer rejection and the effects it has on an adolescent whether it be directly or indirectly. One of the most influential aspects for self-esteem in adolescence is social acceptance from peers which helps to endorse a positive sense of self-worth which is linked to effective coping (McMahan, 2009). When an adolescent is rejected by his or her peers, aggression is probable to occur. The most frequent type of aggression, especially in girls, is relational aggression. Relational aggression is trying to hurt someone by verbally attacking them or their social relations through gossip or exclusion (McMahan, 2009).

Art is the theme of art, this means that the main reason artist design different types of art works is to bring about the visual satisfaction. One of the major reason as to why artist paint, draw or design their works is to have something to have look at. Therefore, before a viewer analyses a piece of art, he or she has to look at it as the first and foremost

• The focal point of the painting is the sun-drenched valley and river. The emphasis comes from the diagonal of the tree to the left that directs the view of the scene down the valley toward the farmland.

“Painting today is pure intuition and luck and taking advantage of what happens when you splash the stuff down. “- Francis Bacon. However when I learnt more about history of art and the way each movement and happenings in the world inspired artist to make new works, I was able to see much more than just a canvas with random paints and sketches. The interesting part about this concept is that each piece of art could be interpreted in many different ways. In contemporary art there isn’t right and wrong, each of us view and find different meanings and connections with artworks.

Emphasis is exemplified by Goya when he painted a horizontal line to represent death. Convergence is when many elements point to one thing, again this is exemplified when he painted the riffles horizontally pointing at one of the prisoners brightly painted in yellow. Moreover it focuses the attention of the viewer to that one prisoner painted brighter than the others and is easily notice when the painting is first viewed.

The variety of elements of art and principles of design both establish the center figure as the focus of attention. Both principles and elements guide the audience’s attention towards the main center figure. The assortment of lines, colors, and shapes determine the movement and proportion of this piece, putting emphasis on the center women

World War II had an extensive impact of the United States. In spite of all the battles being fought off America mainland, the war affected all aspects of American life back home. World War II may be known as the worst war in history, but a lot of good came out of it. If it was not for World War II many economic changes, social changes, and political changes may have never happened.
