...use several techniques throughout her photographs. Overall in all the photographs she used low horizon, shapes, high horizon, color, value, rule of third, emphasis, deep depth of field, narrow depth of field, texture, and form. She was definitely successful in achieving her goals due to the fact that I was able to see all the techniques and differentiate between them just by a glimpse at them. In the first photograph of the “Gradient Sky” she used the techniques of low horizon to showcase the gradient colour of the sky. Secondly, shape is used in a way that the silhouette show shape through the outline of the barn. Finally, there is an element of colour included as well with the sky in a combination of blue and orange and they are complementary colours highlighting each other. I think she was successful achieving colour and low horizon as the colours are easy to point out for example the blending of all the colours in the sky during the sun set or sun rise. Low horizon is also well attained. I think in my opinion 1 technique she can definitely improve a lot more could be on the element of shape. Shape can be improved by slightly moving towards the right side to include the entire picture of the house and the outline of the barn so the shape could be a lot more noticeable. This would also help due to the fact that the windows of the house would be a lot more obvious and easy to consider as the element of shape. The photo’s composition were effective since I think the composition...

...This painting is called “Café Terrace at Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. It was created at 1888. This painting has the primary colors of blue, green, and a tiny bit of red. It also has a secondary color of yellow. The painting depicts the analogous colors of blue and yellow. The color temperature in this painting is cool and chill, but at the same time it is warm and cozy. The complementary colors of yellow contrasts with the complementary colors of blue and green. The contrast draws the attention to the focal point which is the café. There are a lot of vertical lines to show the stability of night. There are other buildings in the painting, but the audience’s eyes go toward the café. There are people sitting in the café eating, drinking, and conversing. There are also people in the streets wearing clothes with festive colors. The yellowish white stars in the night sky illuminate the ground. The pavement is reflecting the light of the starry sky and the café. The pavement also has a pattern going on. The light and dark values draw you to the focal point of the Café. I believe this painting has compositional unity, because the elements and principles are organized. The colors of harmonizing blue and the cozy café fits together perfectly. There is nothing out of place in this paining. In my opinion, the tranquil colors of blue of the night sky depict the calmness in the painting. For me, the café is the emphasis in this painting. The painting is mostly in dark and cold colors, but...

Part 1 of 3: Knowing Your Colors 1. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------- Use the color wheel. All the color wheel does is tell you how best to combine colors.There are particular color combinations in the color wheel that are particularly pleasing to the eye, called color harmonies. The basic primary colors of red, yellow, and blue are used to create the secondary colors. Tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors together.[1] * There are warm colors and cool colors. Warm colors tend to be orange, red, yellow, etc. and cool colors are greens, blues, and purples. Mixing warm colors with warm colors and cool colors with cool colors can be a good way for a color coordination novice to get comfortable with the colors. * White, black, and grey are neutral colors (and are very important for properly coordinating clothing). * When a color is tinted that means that...

(ByFriday Design Studio, 2012) This graphic design is created by ByFriday Design Studio in 2012. Each petal has distinctive colours to consist of a flower. Basically, nine colours are in the design – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, white and black. 310002664 Yu Jeong Hyeon (ByFriday Design Studio, 2012) (Pantone Colors, 2012) Using Pantone colour system, 15 different colours are identified in the graphic design. The colours used in the graphic design can be identified as two categories of colour – 310002664 Yu Jeong Hyeon conventional and formula colours. Except black, every colour is formula colour which means that each colour seems to be mixed with at least two or more colours. This design does not have substance and spectral profile colours because the colours used in the design are not derived from natural source and the form of light-waves. In terms of the attributes of colour, it is difficult to say that the design has only one hue but apparently it consist of big four hues – blue, red, yellow and purple. Blue - Red - Yellow - Purple (Pantone colors, 2012) While its chromaticity of four hues is from moderate to high...

...The world of nature is colourful and bright and human ingenuity cannot hope to match it. Right from the sky above to the sea below, nature abounds in the richness of colour. The human eye and the human mind respond to this world of colour and identify themselves with it. When a person is cheerful and bright we refer to him as a 'colourful personality', similarly the different colours are used to indicate human moods and attitudes: blue is associated with depression, white is likened with serenity, green with jealousy and red with rage. Colour is also used to relieve tension. Psychologists have investigated the effect of colour on the working ability of workers and have come to the conclusion that certain colours are more conducive to Positive thinking than others. The power of colours cannot be denied, more so, as it is the soul instance of life on earth. Although sight and the human brain has helped in identifying colours and their delights, it's interesting to note what colours mean to us in totality. The power of colours and their meanings has been enlisted below. RED: More than half the globe loves this colour. We sure agree. Red is the second-most favorite colour on earth. Be it the Ferrari red or a svelte red dress, red is an intense colour, and defines many emotions and moods. The most important being, the colour of love, passion, seduction, and desire. It also defines enthusiasm, power, and heat. This colour also represents anger, violence, and aggression. Red...

The elements of design can be thought of as the things that make up a painting, drawing, design etc. Good or bad - all paintings will contain most of if not all, the seven elements of design.The Principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design. How we apply the Principles of design determines how successful we are in creating a work of art. THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGNLINE Line can be considered in two ways. The linear marks made with a pen or brush or the edge created when two shapes meet.SHAPE A shape is a self contained defined area of geometric or organic form. A positive shape in a painting automatically creates a negative shape.DIRECTION All lines have direction - Horizontal, Vertical or Oblique. Horizontal suggests calmness, stability and tranquillity.

...ʘ In the Pacific Ocean there is an island composed by two mountains. It is as if someone had placed together two big handfuls of earth and stones in the heart of the sea. The bigger one is called Sadness and the smaller one Joy. ʘ Mythology tells us that many centuries ago Joy was larger and higher than Sadness, but, due to an earthquake, part of it fell in the sea, shaping the mountain the way we find it today. No one knows if that is really the truth. ʘ ʘ The fact is that where those two geological accidents meet live a girl named Aletheia and her grandmother. Aletheia and her grandma are like the mountains: two persons who are always together. ʘ Today the girl is shorter and smaller than her grandmother; but some day, nobody knows when, Aletheia will wake and she will be taller than her grandma. Aletheia is going to grow up and I think that when this day comes, they will still be together, just like the mountains of the island. One day this girl asked: “Grandma, who made the world?”. To what her grandmother replied, “God”. - “All of it?”. - “Yes, all of it”. - “By himself?”. - “Yes”. ʘ Aletheia left the room with that conversation on her mind. She was not convinced. She thought about this for a few days. In order to digest her thoughts she went for a walk through the island. Alone she thought. Aloud she though and she began to share her thoughts with whatever crossed her way: leaves, trees, stones, ants, crickets, etc. Had God created the...

There is an implied contour line going counterclockwise starting at the copper colored tea pot and curving back and ending at the yellow vase containing the well bloomed bright flowers.

...instantly knew the medium that was chosen was oil paint as it had a bit of texture due to the layering, as well as a slight glaze. Another reason why I found this piece so interesting, and what makes it so beautiful, is that Monet captured the cathedral in an unconventional way; he did not just draw and outline the cathedral, but instead he blurred and layered his paint together and abstractedly outlined the cathedral. I also believe the overall palate and feel of this painting drew me to it as he uses beautiful, soft, colors that give it a light and delicate feel to it. The two elements that dominate in Monet’s work of art are color and texture. The hues he chose were pale yellow and violet, which are complementary colors, as well as blues and a bit of orange, which are also complementary colors. The shades of blue and violet have dullness to them, as they are neutralized and pale, giving the piece a bit of a quiet and solemn feel to it; however, the touch of pale yellow and orange here and there, due to Monet’s successful attempt to capture the rising of the sun against the stone cathedral, gives it a tiny bit of a warm feeling to it. Throughout the piece, these colors are layered multiple times, creating a crusty surface. The color of light is shown instead of stone-like walls, as Monet was trying to capture the cathedral during the morning. This piece an intermediate between...

...Analysis of Magazine Front Covers This essay is about the semiotic codes of the front covers of two magazines to demonstrate how the media constructs the image and behavioural ideology of their target audiences. I will analyse “Cycling Monthly” (January 2008) and compare it with “Footy Focus” (January 2007). I selected these texts as they are popular mainstream magazines that are available in most newsagents and therefore represent to the reader what constitutes a typical cyclist and a typical football fan. These are also fairly recent issues and therefore show an up to date representation of constructed cyclist and football fans in our media and society. Magazines are a collection of signs including title of the magazine; the fonts; the layout; the colours; the texture of the paper; the language adopted; the content of the articles. Each of these signs have been selected to create a meaning. The magazine genre is therefore a complex collection of sings that can be decoded and analysed by us as readers. The Cycling magazine is clearly targeted at cycling fans who either aspire to cycle or who regularly cycle as a hobby. The representation of the cyclists is clearly conveyed to the audience through the large colourful image of a fit cyclist who is partially standing as he cycles through the grass; giving the intended audience the idea that cycling is hard work, fun, enjoyable and healthy. The Footy Focus magazine has a large image of William Duff Gordon kicking the ball...

...- The Night Cafe I visited www.artgallery.yale.edu and came across Vincent Van Gogh’s The Night Café (1988). I followed the instructions on “How to begin the Critical Analysis Essay (Extra Credit)”. As I was clicking through the collection at a “fairly good pace,” I stumbled on The Night Café. Its image stayed in my head for whatever reason. I finished looking at the collection and went right back to it. The painting must have struck a chord in my head, but getting into why that chord was struck would require another type of assignment. The Night Café is oil on canvas, from the art movement known as impressionism. The Night Café uses a display of optical and psychological color though harsh, textured swirls of impasto, which is the think buildup of paint on the surface of the canvas. One of his most interesting paintings (I think) is this one. The place he hung out at night drinking. The work depicts the interior of the Café de la Gare, an all night tavern owned by Joseph-Michel Ginoux and his wife Marie. It was located at 41 Rue Du Temple, 4th St. Paris, France. It is known that Van Gogh visited disreputable drinking establishments. The bare setting of the Café de la Gare served as inspiration to Van Gogh. The asymmetrical composition serves the purpose of communicating a feeling of unbalance. The psychological elements of this painting gave it unity: The disproportioned elements in the composition, the odd placement of objects, and the odd point of view...
