“In the silence of their studios, busied for days at a time with works which leave the mind relatively free, painters become like women; their thoughts can revolve around the minor facts of life and penetrate their hidden meaning.” There’s a hidden meaning or objective behind every artist’s work. We all interpret paintings differently; some art can be forms of phi phenomenon (illusion of movement created by presenting visual stimuli in rapid succession), or others could be interpreting cues such as Monocular and Binocular. We can’t fully understand what the artist is trying to present unless there is an outline, but we can surely look at the texture, colour, line and shape of each painting to get a meaning for ourselves. A person that demonstrates a form of interpreting his art is Stu Oxley. Stu Oxley is a Canadian Artist with a Masters of fine Art. Oxley has been painting and teaching for thirty years within Ontario.

The piece was being exhibited for yourself to interpret it. In art, colour can be used to evoke a certain mood, create a message or evoke a strong response in the viewer. Creatives can use the positive or negative attributes of color in their works to subliminally send a message. The colour blue can be represent a message such as calm, compassion, and harmony. Blue can also represent wisdom and a steady character. In my personal bias of the painting, I interpreted the painting as a spirit going to heaven. The painting consist of a figure of white and a ground of blue. We focus our attention at the white being presented and then following by the

Like all of the other paintings that are on display at the Seattle Art Museum, the museum provides a text that summarizes the details of the series and how and when they were painted, as well as Lawrence and his goals for the piece. However, two other texts are included that other art pieces are normally not accommodated with. These include Lawrence’s simple captions for each of his paintings, and a poem by Langston Hughes that embodies the message of the migration in striking verses. Lawrence’s inclusion of captions that are for the most part no longer than two sentences long for each of his sixty tempera paintings provides a humble yet strong impact on its viewers. Likewise, Hughes’ lyrical accompaniment provides yet one more type of text, which balances the art of words and the art of paint on canvas.
This artist, Fred Tomaselli, was eye catching to me because the use of colors. I love how he incorporates the coloration in his artwork. Not only does his artwork contain numerous colors, but Tomaselli also applies a black background. The use of the black background makes each distinctive color pop. Some of Tomaselli artwork has collage.
Before today, I didn’t know much about Georgia O’Keeffe and I wasn’t familiar with any of her paintings. After reading through the section, I realized how much I admired this artist that I’d just learned about and how undervalued her art was, or maybe how little she’s spoken of nowadays, compared to other artists. Her landscape paintings all contain a very distinct look to them that make them seem very original. The fact that she makes a place like New Mexico seem like it’s got breathtaking scenery, when in reality it’s mostly rugged and dry looking, is astonishing to me.
In the Loge, by Mary Cassatt is a very interesting piece of artwork. The artwork depicts what appears to be a woman, viewing a play or some kind of entertainment inside of a theater. The woman’s gaze is set on whatever the entertainment in front of her is. However, the man across the theater is looking directly at the woman, yet he appears to be attending the show with a woman himself. This painting appears to be set sometime in the past, the outfits the people are wearing appear to be very outdated.

Artwork 1 is an example of two-dimensional art and used directional lines, shapes, organic shapes and outlines that were expressed through the woman in the artwork. The woman in the artwork is an example of two-dimensional art because she is defined by height and width. For example, the top of her height is defined by the top of her hat and the bottom of her height is defined by the bottom lines of her dress near her foot. The lines in her dress help convey a sense of movement. For example, there are directional lines on the woman’s left sleeve of her dress and on the bottom of her dress.
Ned Kahn’s artwork is both soothing and undefined. He creates beautiful artwork using elements of nature and leaves it up to the people to interpret what they believe it is and what it means. Out of all his magical creations my favorite was Technorama Façade. I think it is amazing that he found and created a place that captures the patterns of turbulence in the wind. He uses mother nature as artwork and has allowed millions of people to enjoy what nature has to offer.
The color of blue symbolized by the watering can show the spiritual purity that fed me to keep going on and have determination through the times that seemed as if there was no hope left. Furthermore, the color green is clearly present in the stem and leaves of the flower. They embody how I was still able to grow through the dark events that have occurred. Lastly, in the pile of dirt that is enclosed around the flower is the color brown, which serves as the renewal in how I learned to keep

However, with the practice of looking at something and understanding it and analyzing the proportion of he subject, the structure, the lighting, the gesture and so on. After that the artist will then draw the subject where all these have to be go through deep thoughts and put it into the work. So before the artist decided to paint, the chosen subject from the photo taken was based on the intensity of emotional expression and the expressions chosen cannot be improved further more. Artist uses the photographs as references and it is really hard to keep the concentration level.
In art, color is very personal and subjective, and gives different meaning to different people. However, in this Van Gogh piece, it is clear what the colors are used for. The blue found in the man’s overalls suggests uneasiness, melancholy and distress. Blue is unanimously associated with sorrow, and it is clear that in this piece, the subject is suffering immensely. The color is used to compliment the feelings the audience perceives from this artwork.
