Piano Maze

 

 The assignment was to create a rhythm where you could vary quality, type and position of the lines. In this piece I used lines with a variety of different sizes. They all go in the same direction but create an illusion. When I see this piece of work, I see three things. The first things I see are piano keys. Though it may be hard to notice. If you look between two separated thin lines, you will find a thick line in the middle, this reminds me of the black key in between white keys on a piano. The second thing it reminds me of is the picture of beats on a boom box. When you look at the small screen in the middle of a boom box, you can see many rectangles constantly moving up and down. The third thing it reminds me of is music, music because it is constantly flowing. My piece of work flows downwards in gentle zigzags. And in music the beats move from high notes to low notes. Though the beat is repetitive it still creates different sounds.

World Of Beats

 

 The assignment was to create a rhythm where you could vary the direction, quality, type and position of the lines. In this piece I used lines with a variety of sizes in many different directions. Because I am usually lost in music. I decided to make this art about me and how I feel the beats of music flow through my whole body as I listen to it, and how the whole world gets mixed into a bunch of complex beats and sounds. I created a person, though he does not look like me, I think he’s giving the same feeling. I covered him in repetitive beats (notice the repeating black and white shapes) to show that the music is flowing through his body. I added repetitive lines around him to show you that he his lost in a world of his own full of beats.

Today I am critiquing Goya's The third of May 1814 on its imitationalism. The painting is satisfying, though it is not excellent. Compared to the Mona Lisa,it is a pile of garbage. The painting is somewhat realistic. You can see the faces of the men and their shadows though their is not enough detail to see it clearly. The colours are a little too dark for example the lamp close to the soldiers feet should have more vibrant shades. Also the shading is not done correctly. Beside the man with his hands covering his face, there is a man who's face has no shade what so ever. It is entirely one colour and should be a little darker on the left side of the face. As an imitationalism I think this piece of art is worthy enough to be called pleasing.

Today I am critiquing Goya the Third of May 1814 on its emotionalism. This piece is excellent. The colors are very expressive and strong. The colors are mostly dark. The painting is filled with dark shades of blue, green, brown and black. You can actually feel the grief and sudden shock of terror that the painting is showing. In my opinion this picture is very very pleasing to the eye, mostly cause it tells a story and has a strong emotional response of grief and fear. This piece is excellent.

Today I am critiquing Goya's the Third of May 1814 from a formalists point of view. This picture has great balance, though there is a lot of negative space on the top of the art work, it eventually tends to just go with the piece. There is a lot of texture in this piece. Especially on the soldiers on the right. You can actually see the movement and texture of the mans cloths. I do not like the fact that the artist put a lot of texture around the soldiers but I can see why, the artist wanted to emphasis the soldiers. When you first look at this picture. The first thing you see is the soldiers and then the slaves. I think the piece could have been better. If the artist had added more building, the picture would have been a little more even. Altogether this picture is spectacular.
