Crows and Cornfields

Van Gogh

If one were to base this picture off of imitation it would be a poor piece. Though things are recognizable it isn't exactly very realistic, the crows especially, since they are very cartoon-like and far from lifelike. Also the colors and the way it's painted also disillusioned the painting, the heavy paint strokes and the off coloring of the piece making it seem even less realistic.

With formalism this is a great piece. The dark blues of the sky along with the crows, balance out the brightly colored wheat and pale blues of the sky. The piece is intense, and unified, keeping your eye inside the painting and leading your eyes around, the composition of it is done well.

The feel of this painting is surreal. It's simple and whimsical, sparking a question of why he painted it. The dark and light of the sky keep the piece looking calm, and the bright yellow of the wheat give it energy. It's a well done piece emotionally.

Logo Analysis

Logotype

This logo is of Disney, it's directed towards a younger audience. The line type is very clean but also very playful, it say that the company is professional but also is anchored towards kids instead of an older generation. The color is black but changes depending on the merchandise it's on, it's made to fit everything. The logo does work for the company because it looks interesting and fun for the younger audiences.

Initials

Stop Motion Animation

This is a stop motion animation that, is based off of Alice In Wonderland. I found it interesting and I liked it a lot... Not to mention the girl is very pretty.

Rhythm - Second time around

Line 1

For this repetition of lines, we were supposed to show rhythm using lines that went in one direction, varying in width, spacing or height. In this picture, I showed rhythm using thin lines that started up, curving at the top to resemble a flame - as these lines are to represent lit candles - it shows rhythm by repeating at an equal distance but varying in height. Your eyes are caught by the 'flames' and are brought down, continuing down the line of 'candles'.

Line 2

For this rhythm picture, we were allowed to go in any direction. I used thick lines going upwards on a slant, as well as thin slightly curved horizontal lines going across. First you look at the thick lines, bringing your eyes up the page as well as, side to side due the the horizontal lines.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol, a man born in the ghettos of Pittsburgh during the Great Depression who grew up to become one of the most amazing artists, commonly recognized by his 'Pop Art' paintings, Campbell Soup Cans and his crazy wigs.

Warhol wanted to become an artist since a young age, starting out using magazines his mother used to bring home for him when he was a bedridden child - he had chorea which explains the wigs and sunglasses Warhol liked to adorn - then becoming a young man moving to New York with only 200 dollars, making paintings for 12.50 and small commercial drawing. But he wanted more, and that he got.

It first started with the Coca Cola bottle and then to the Campbell soup cans, both of them inspired by the consumerisms of that day. Warhol soon became a hit. He ran parties in his studio known as 'The Factory', and it was a big hit, because if you wanted to be seen with anyone, it was Warhol.

Warhol is one of the most influential artists in the world and his art is worth more than thousands of the dollars. He has a museum dedicated to himself as well as a bridge in his home town of Pittsburgh. Just shows you how a person from the ghettos can become someone big.
