The Parthenon

The Parthenon by Fredrick Churchill has been a major topic of discussion in class. It has brought about great class discussion. The most important aspect of the painting seems to be where the Parthenon is positioned and the placement of the objects around it. The positioning of the objects around the Parthenon is part of the artist beforehand planning, meaning that he had to make many decision about where to place the substances. Putting the Parthenon in the center of the page shows emphasis on it. Emphasis is also shown by the incorporation of light on the Parthenon. Churchill use of light and color help elucidate the Parthenon and it’s near setting. The lighting on the Parthenon may also signify that it has survived the negativity (shadowed rubble around it) and it positive. If the light was not shining on the Parthenon, the paining would be perceived differently. The use of shadow and light helps move the eye around the page. The Parthenon was considered important to society even though catastrophe happens.

It is obvious that a well trained artist painted the Parthenon. It has a very traditional look due to it being traditional. It was done using oil on canvas which is a traditional media. The Parthenon was painted in 1871 by Churchill. It is very clear to current society that a lot of training is required to paint in such a way. The use of oil gives us a better idea of when it was painted. It can be assumed that Churchill admired the ancient world traditions. Also, the size of the Parthenon represents it importance. The building is in ruins meaning that it was painted after ancient times. There is a small figure in the painting which can symbolize the Parthenon greatness compared to human. It is an important painting because it still being analyzed by art students and society.

cosmic harmony

Cosmic Harmony

My favorite painting is Jack Haas called Cosmic Harmony. It is my favorite painting because I feel like it describes life tranquility and uproars. I am a person that wanders of thinking about many things like life, peace, wars, actions and many other things. I feel like I could stare at the image for hours and not get bored. I discovered this image a couple years ago. My friends told me about fractals and showed me several images. I definitely was fascinated by the painting. I thought it was the most awesome thing that I have ever seen. I have not seen it in person. I have heard that there are art museums display fractals. The organization of shapes and use of color are two key principles that make this painting special to me. I have always been enthralled by color usage. This piece of work captures the attention of the audience with its color usage and its organization. The way the artists combines the lines and overlaps causes the audience to be confused about what it says at first, but reanalyzing the artwork several times helps us understand a little bit better what the artists is expressing. The lines all guide the eyes toward an infinite blurry center. The mixture of the color leaves a longer more remarkable impact on the viewer. Light is used to direct the eyes. It starts of dim on the edges and becomes lighter toward the center like a greater vibe of energy is present there. Some of the colors used are clear, while others are contrasting and blurred. The texture of the artwork starts out smooth and become rough toward the middle. Some objects are soft ad indistinct. It seems to me that this image has a large amount of volume due to it starting with large occupying lines and color, and late the lines become indistinct like they are going in a infinite direction. The shapes are free form. Negative shapes and shapes are to cover up the area available. There is a wide use of diagonal, vertical, curvy, and other types of lines used. The lines go toward infinite. Compositional lines are used to direct to show movement and draw attention. It seems that the lines and shapes are random but they are arranged to guide the viewer toward the center. The space is occupied to lead the viewer into space.
