For this art critique, I went up to Schumacher Galley on the fourth floor of the library on Friday afternoon. I had never been up there before, but I had heard great reviews from friends who had before. The piece of art I choice to critique was a painting of Roger Rabbit from the movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The painting was painted in 1998, with vinyl paint on celluloid, photocopy paper. From the description of the painting, this painting is from the scene where Roger is given the assignment to look after Baby Herman while his mother is away. He promises to look after him as if he were looking out after one of his relatives.
My first impression from the painting is Roger is goofy and very excited to watch Baby Herman. Due to a painting being a still frame, the artist must be able to portray the emotion of character through shading, expressions, etc. In this particular painting, the emotion of Roger Rabbit is clearly portrayed through his face. The entire painting is focused around him and nothing else. It is made up bright colors, basic shapes, and lines. The background is made up of a mix of light and dark

As I was walking throughout the gallery, there were hundreds of paintings, drawings, and sculptures. To me this shows a lot about a piece of art, for there to be all these art pieces and out of all of them I chose this specific piece. I chose this piece because I find it to be very relatable. Every kid becomes super excited when they are finally given the opportunity to watch a little sibling, or given some type of responsibility. Roger Rabbit has this super excited and silly expression on his face as he is told the news. I believe the artist sums up this expression well. Roger Rabbit appears to be full of life and potentially counting how many hours he will be watching baby Herman. This painting is very simple, which allows the viewer to interpret what is actually occurring in the
His hand is positioned on the bottom left of the frame with the fingers and palm situated towards the middle left side. The shoulders positioned in the top third cut through representing a horizon. The direction of the fingers makes your eye travel around the painting, the tie the slices through the middle of the shirt, the cuff of the shirt cuts across to stop your eye falling out of the frame, the lightness balancing all the darkness. The mouth dominates the image and drags you eye back to the
In other words He is sad that his best friend died.He is excited because he made a painting to show he wanted to got to the zoo ,and the zoo people came to pick them up from the mall.
There are loads of different material that involve the way you observe this painting. For instance, there are a massive range
Closely inspecting the canvas, I initially noticed that the painting was created using a series of thick, short brushstrokes compiled on top of one another almost creating a 3-D effect. Upon first glance you are
Red appears to dominate the painting and serves as an eye-catching color. The use of intensely saturated colors draws the attention to the front couple. Additionally, the red color plays with the mind of the onlooker without them thinking about it. It suggests deep passion, anger, and struggle. The artist intends to relay his feelings about the event to the viewer. His outlook consists of disgust towards the great depression that leaves many taken advantage of due to desperation.
Another thing, he made the picture on a stretched canvas. It is well prepared with the several coats of the acrylic and each object is related to the other object. The image is taken from the Ellin and Gordon art gallery. He used the sharp color to
First, The painting “Don’t Mess with the Pink Rabbit” the artist paints a rabbit to be the figure of the main focus in this piece of work. When looking at the painting the attention goes directly to the rabbit. The artist also paints a guy who is holding a gun to face the rabbit, his back is to the rabbit which creates a feel of not knowing what is behind him. The artist uses size to show that the rabbit is overpowering the guy. The title relates to the painting because it appears that the rabbit is upset and is painted with a frown on its face,
The paint is really amazing. The idea meets the objective of the message. As you can see the shapes interact with each other by the painter use unique color that matched almost all the colors used in the entire painting. Some of the edge is hard while some parts are soft. Like on the left side by the lady on red with black hat. That was hard. While the image on her right looks soft. The image of the people on the painting seems to overlap each other. While that on the front seems to be bend.
painting which also ties into the scene being set at night in the darkness. Contrast is used well to
The shapes of the figures are sharply defined and the objects such as the table, book, and string instruments. There are diagonal rhythms throughout the painting in which it creates movement. The light source in the upper left allows the source light to have a more natural appearance throughout the painting. The shadows at the right-hand corner and the men wearing green in the middle contrast the main object with the most sources of lighting. The objects shadows and lighting create dimension and a vivid sense of more contrast. There are areas in the making with more contrast and the sharp contrast that creates movement in the painting. The shadows and the lighting throughout the painting show gradations and the highlights create more depth. Staring from the upper-left hand corner with the first figure of a gentleman wearing a hue of blue and yellow, the left side of his face and garment shows the source light in right above him. The source light above the
The lines that form the characters make the man look smaller than the basket of flowers and the woman. The texture of the painting stands out for its variety. In the back, the green leaves give a feeling of being pointed, the piled flowers give a spongy and soft style. The basket appears to be hard and rough.
Another attracting feature of this painting is that it appeals to your emotional side. Personally, I have an elder sister and we share a connection that is really rare. I have a picture of her, holding me as a baby with a huge smile on her face and this painting ultimately reminds me of that; giving me nothing but pleasant memories. That is what William is trying to do here. He uses the soothing and caring facial expression of the young lady together with the tenderness of the sleeping baby to capture his viewers and appeal to their caring and emotional side.
I think the effects in the movie who framed roger rabbit was like watching a cartoon all over again but then reality stepped in and it mixed. I think the effects were creative unlike most cartoons now and days, feels like most people forgot what all the amazing stories and shows that teach kids. From talking bullets to dancing shoes. Its effective even to the eye. The effects took a turn where it showed toon town when all the toons were welcoming anyone in toon town like there were welcoming them in their own home like in a way that is there home all of them or like related somehow. Toon town i would have to say was the most effective to see all the toons working well with most of the humans. And to see the toons out of toon town and in reality
It is often thought that surprise and suspense are two elements of film that are reserved to the genres of action and horror. This, however, couldn't be farther from the truth. Suspense and surprise can be incorporated into any and all types of film. Even in comedic movies, directors may want to build tension or catch their audience by surprise. These onscreen techniques can be useful for many purposes outside of the generic “bump in the night” scare tactics. Before one can truly begin to appreciate the use of these two techniques, though, they must understand what they truly are. Surprise is when the audience is taken unaware, usually when one is shocked. Suspense is defined as anxiety brought on by partial uncertainty or even knowing, or
Although the opening scene of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is meant to be lighthearted and appealing to children, upon further examination the discriminatory treatment of Roger reveals the racist undertones. The scene begins in the cartoon universe with Roger Rabbit and a cartoon baby, named Baby Herman, that Roger is left as the caretaker. Throughout the scene the baby undermines his authority in almost every way as he tries to reach a cookie jar on top of the refrigerator. The refrigerator, however falls on Roger, and he then produces birds instead of stars. The director then calls cut and the camera shifts to the live-action characters who are shooting the scene and are very angry with Roger. First, an important visual is the framing of Baby Herman versus Roger. Throughout
