Distortion In Art Analysis

Marcel Duchamp stated that "It was his achievement to treat the camera as he treated the paintbrush, as a mere instrument at the service of the mind” (Biography.com, 2017). In addition, the photogram might seem expressive and abstract, yet on the contrary, it is the precise medium to document the everyday objects in an unrepeatable and somehow uncontrollable way. The artist cannot predict how the selected objects will be recorded under the light sources that were tampered with. From the first glance, the image completely dissociated from its original subject, allowing one’s memory to fill the gap. Yet below its surface, the image is an accurate documentation that captured a moment of psychical intensity. It revealed a new visual experience, using objects in the simplest way. One can say that the use of this medium disclosed reality more preciously due to its invisibility and mysterious representation (The Museum of Modern Art, 2017).

In this essay, I will discuss the main point of the video, what I have gained from it, and why I think it’s a learning tool. Tomaselli pieces are solely based off of perspective. The objective to his artwork is to stimulate the audience’s mind in a way that the brain can generate feeling and emotion from their own outlook. Tomaselli initiates perspective to his pieces by using figure ground space and warm colors.

I have been to the Frist many times, but this past experience was different. One exhibit, named Phantom Bodies: The Human Aura in Art, fully captivated me and with each piece I was more intrigued. This collection of artwork was organized by Frist Center Chief Curator Mark Scala and includes many different contemporary artists echoing similar themes. The gallery explores the idea of unseen forces that make up our essence and illustrates connections between mind, body, and soul.

The young, innocent, promising lives of our past drive emotions through artistic expressions that can be displayed though many outsources. Upon our day to view the art gallery, I entered the gallery feeling apprehensive that I would view any piece of art that I found relatable or even one that I found any interest in. I was wrong in my assumptions and found a beautiful painting named “Console” by Barlow Palminteri. Tasked with describing what the painting looks like, what it means to me, as well as my overall connection with the painting is what I’ll discuss within this paper. The painting’s colors, sizes, shapes, and artistic aspects drew me into its beauty and torment. Likewise, the painting reminded me of my youth that roused many different

His artwork explores the relationship between creativity, cognition, and supernatural experience through the mediums of writing, drawing, screenprinting, sound sculpture, acrylic vinyl, plexiglass, light, and sound—often co-opting non-traditional fine art mediums such as blacklight paint as a visual cues for intangible concepts such as the "the otherworldly".

The use of geometric shapes in this painting allows the subject to be viewed in both a recognizable and unrecognizable state at the same time. Overall, geometric shapes and patterns play an essential role in what the viewer sees, which is further supported by a powerful color palate.

The mood of this art was without a doubt, intense, suspenseful, thrilling, and fast-paced. On pieces like “Halloween”, composed by John Carpenter, “The Shining”, composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind, or “Jaws”, composed by John Williams, all respectively, there is a heightened sense of awareness and a feeling uneasiness. I certainly found myself sitting at the edge of my seat, possibly casting a glance from side to side, reliving the childhood fears of monsters under my bed, or in this case, theatre

Intro Text: Society, As Told Through Still Life is an exhibit of works that aim to portray different facets of life through the use of objects. Since the conception of photography in the 1830s, the use of people and the landscapes in which people reside are often used to depict human life. However, the use of found objects in still life are seen in certain themes, such as the vanitas, a Dutch genre of painting that embodies the use of objects to showcase death and the inevitability of change. This exhibit features work that uses still life to convey motifs ever-present in human existence. These motifs range from ideas that mimic the familiar and perennial vanitas genre, to ideas of contemporary phantoms that plague people today. Objects that

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

When we enter the Spencer Museum, we were brought to different locations in museum to review five pieces of art works. After much consideration, I personally chose “Haunted by the Ghost of Our Own Making” by Hollis Sigler as the central theme of my essay. Like many other abstract canvas in the museum, “Haunted by the Ghost of Our Own Making” is not necessary the most powerful in conveying its message to the audience without artwork description provided by the museum or a narrator, as compare to other pieces like Above Ground Movement by the Young Female Activists who captured photographs with meaningful and relatable events.

In art, there are qualities that speak louder than words. It expresses many different messages and emotions and each person has an experience different from the next. In this paper, I will be discussing two artworks I encountered. The piece is a good example of how people can encounter different experiences in one piece. I attended the Orlando Museum of Art a while back with family and overall enjoyed my experience. On my visit, I found the museum quite impressive and felt a deep connection with specific pieces.

Gladys is a single mother raising two teenage boys who works second shift as an LPN and has been referred to this department for evaluation by her employer and her physician. While reviewing the patient case, I became aware of multiple chronic disease risk factors that are exhibited including hypertension, overweight status, poor nutritional status, low activity level, and high stress level.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America and in the world and while Gladys has not been diagnosed with Coronary heart disease, she does have high blood pressure

n this paper, I will be analyzing the following piece of digital art. Now the first thing I notice when I look at this picture is the color, it's mostly calm or cool colors mostly shades of blue or white. Which can mean many things that this person was feeling calm or was in a relaxed state while making this piece of digital art . or that he was depressed . The open theme of this picture brings a sense of calm and peace to me. The what look to be planets surrounding the tower in the middle also could have multiple meanings for instance they could represent the multiple possibilities of life or metaphorical worlds such as love life or social world etc... everything in this picture is taking place above the clouds possibly stating that this individual is above said problem. Or he has reached a mental state where this doesn't affect him. The architecture gives a fantasy/historical feeling that swallows you in a calmness. Each individual planet is rotating on a different axis suggesting different time or different place in the universe.

This is a Book that entails Kiki Smith’s never-seen images. The artist (Kiki Smith) gives insight to how her work was processed. And how she was moved in the direction, as far as scheme of colors and so forth. Allowing viewers to have a vivid eye on how and why she did the things she did when taking her

Yayoi Kusama’s life long work is an exploration of her depersonalization syndrome. Using polka dots as a representation of her own self-obliteration, universe and body cells her hallucinations and obsessional images are reflected on various mediums of paintings and sculptures (Grady T. Turner, Yayoi Kusama). Although her works are primarily known for the use of repetitive dots, pumpkins and the Infinity Mirror Room, Kusama’s belief in art is not only about self expression but also reflects political and humanitarian issues too. Yayoi Kusama allows her audience to step into her
