Floating Lotus

Selection was used in the artwork to show how a Lotus gives a mysterious feeling,yet a feeling of beauty. She used selection by choosing a flower to demonstrate beauty, while using the shape of the moon to give a night feeling. I believe the chosen area to add a line was perfect, in order to make it look like a stem . The placement in the top middle area made it look like the observer was looking up to the beautiful lotus and moon. Overall, the context was to show how beautiful the night and day could be. I believe the title of the artwork was Floating Lotus since it look like it’s floating where the moon would be if you were look up at it. I love how the flower stands out from the moon and background as well.

Mourning

samantham25

Selection was used to decide on only one photo to express the feeling of mourning. The line was also chosen to show someone as well. The shape was chose to have representation of a important emotion as well. The placement of it all was chosen to show the emotion she was trying to protray. I believe the placement of the photo was perfect for the title, because with the placement you are able to see how a person carries a lot of weight on their back, and that isn’t including the emotion she is feeling inside. the context of this piece was to show how someone might feel when a horrific things happens to them. Overall, I believe this piece conveyed the feeling of mourning very well.

Fate (2020)

By: Audrey Duran

samantham25

The common fate shown in this art piece can be seen as going diagonal, the colors were able to display the separation between the 2 subjects. I liked how the artwork was shown to be united using the shapes. The triangles are very interesting to me because they are shown to be the same shape, but they are bouncing off each other and going 2 opposite ways. The design inside the bigger triangles can be shown to create a unity within all of the triangles shown in the image. Overall, the art piece creates the context of fate because even though the triangle can be shown to be pushing away from each other they are brung together to create one bigger shape. It was created to demonstrate how movement can be shown as pushing against each other.

The common fate is shown to be going left, while the triangles are shown to go right. The shape shown to explain the title by demonstrating a triangle like a pizza and the circles in the triangle looks like pepperonis on the pieces of pizza. The 2 shapes colors context is used to balance both of them out. I found the context very interesting to understand overall, because of how piece was created to show movement in the piece and to give 2 shapes 2 different types of movement . As a whole the shapes and colors in the pieces combines well, and I liked the artwork a lot . My favorite part was how perla was able to make a pattern into something different.

“feelings”

I based my pieces on the common theme of feelings and how I protray them. I chose to protray the feeling of happiness,sadness and love.

In the piece that represents love, I decided to use a lot of reds and pinks since they are known to be colors that represent the feeling of love. I also tried to demonstrate the feeing of having butterflies by having different types of them around her. The focal point was chosen because of how the picture showed the emotion of love in my opinion.

Happiness is shown in this piece by having the focal point being a man laughing. I wanted to use the color yellow to display what yellow is known to represent, which is happiness. Yellow is also know to as a good, which is another reason I chose to use that color. I wanted to create little spits of yellow to show how you can spred the happiness to others as well.

For sadness I chose to use a photo of a crying boy, and I decided to cut out pieces of him to show how sometime when your dad you feel like everything is falling apart. I wanted to also demonstrate how anger also has a play in sadness. I was to show anger by using an explosion and thunder behind him.

untitled , acrylic on canvas, 2017

By: Arturo Herrera

Emphasis is shown in this art piece by having dull and boring colors all around the vibrant yellow and the pieces of red. Common fate is also displayed in the lines and the cluttered areas. In my eyes i see the motion of the piece going from the bottom right corner and then spread out to the top left corner.

Based on what herreras believe I Understand the piece to show all the different emotions a person feels from the yellow which is used to represent happiness a person has. To the red, which can be said to demonstrate danger or intense emotions. The black lines are meant to be thick on purpose. They are thick to show the strength a person has within themselves.

Overall Arturo uses the figure/ground relationship to show how messy life is. The yellow streaks are the main focus because Auturo wanted to focus primarily on the happiness in life. He used he red to be the 2nd brightest color to show the intense moments. Thick lines are displaying the strength a person has to endure during rough moments. Blue is used to show the sadness we experience in life too. The colors and lines are what caught my eye at first, which is why i believe they signify something important.

Noses & ears, etc.: Blood, fist, and head (With nose and ear) ,2006

Medium: 3 dimensional archival digital photographic print with acrylic paint

I believe the piece was structured to display action in the art work,, he also used the vibrant colors to make the piece stand out. I found the choice of colors interesting, because of the meaning behind the colors. For example, yellow is known to represent energy, which is shown as the punch is being thrown. The energy of the man and his fist is extremely powerful when it is shown to be doing some damage. Green is said to represent a fearful state. Fear is displayed if there was a confrontation which lead to the overwhelming amount of anger taking over.

The title could be said to explain what is going on in the artwork. I believe they are naming the parts of the person in order to describe that the yellow man might have heard something about which led to the reaction of a punch to the green man.
