Assignment #2
     1) Describe several ways that artists unify their artwork. Find an example and describe how it is unified.
          - There are several ways in which artists can unify their artwork. Such as adding bright colors, having certain colors that stand out, and adding dimensions. By achieving this, it creates a major impact to the artwork that is driven by creating attention and showing what the artwork stands for.   
      - In this piece, there are several examples of unification such as the repetition of colors, enlargement and repetition of shapes and colors. The artist manipulates warmers colors like red, orange and yellow by repeating them. This attracts more attention specifically to the different shapes and patterns being used. The circles and enlarging of the circles in the background, gives a sense of unity since they are included into the pattern. The focal point of this painting is directly in the middle. By looking there first, the similar shapes and pattern can be easily visualized and the entire painting comes together.

-         

    2)  Describe how an artist creates asymmetrical balance. Post an artwork of your choice and explain 
- 
        - Asymmetrical balance is when the two sides of the painting are not identical, but differ from one another. However, the elements are arranged so that there is a sense of balance. The composition of a painting is less equal than a symmetrical balance painting. If a painting were cut in half, a certain side would stand out more than the other. The color's brightness, shapes, element, size and form all determine the balance of the artwork.
        -The painting shown below is a good example of asymmetrical balance. The right side shows small waves and boats are being pulled towards a big wave. On the left side the wave is introduced as strong as and more dangerous than the other side. The left side shows heavy color's that represent the color of natural water and the background also shows a heavy storm, which stands for a gloomy feeling.





 3) How can scale change the meaning of an artwork? Use a visual example of your choice as an example and explain how the meaning is changed by scale
 -  Scale and proportion in art are both involved with size. Scale refers to the size of an object and proportion is the amount of related part that becomes a whole. Scale is one of the most important decisions of planning an artwork. Whether to do an artwork in large scale or small decides how the work will be done. There have been many artists in the twentieth century that used distorted scale for visual effect.
-  A great example of a scale in an art work with be the sculpture by roses of will Ryman located on Park Avenue in New York City.. This sculpture portrays a giant flower growing out of the ground in the cityscape environment. While viewing this object at close range we can see and feel it's realism that portraying an in a visual vision. Here we can see the bend objects that is forming into different size of the scape, leaves pointing in different direction, a small bug can be seen crawling down the scape and finally flower petals that are blooming making the artwork to feel alive

    "Asymmetrical balance means to have no balance"- not true- reread the section in your book and in my lecture describing asymmetrical balance- it is a type of balance...

WASTE LAND l LUCY WALKER Lucy Walker’s documentary is about a famous Brazilian artist who decides that he wants to work with the garbage pickers. Vic Muniz is a famous artist who’s known for his unusual art that consists of making paintings and images of unusual materials. In this documentary, the artist joints his creativity and humanity to the limits. At one point of the documentary he mentions that he it was time for him to give something back to his community and to show that art has no boundaries. Muniz decides to use the people he met to make his paintings. His paintings were large pictures consisting of several objects. The documentary really stuck be because it portrayed the sad reality of the poor people in Rio de Janeiro. One of the most beautiful aspects of the documentary was to see the people, whom collected trash for living and were proud for doing so. in fact, they all seemed to be happy doing what they do. For not stealing or being drug dealers to live....

Yasmeen Ayoub 10/18/2017 assignment #3 Impressionism and Post-impressionism  ~Both impressionism and post-impressionism refer to influential artistic movements arising in the late 19th century that utilized new techniques, style and technology. At the turn of the 19th-century, Europe began to approach a modern age that presented scientific, religious, political, social, economic issues. It also presented influence in modern thinking that questioned traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. In 1874, a group of French based artists sought to gain independents from academy doctrines and romantic ideals. They began to create a new style that focused on expressing artistry. Impressionism focused on what the eyes actually see, rather than what the mind visualizes. Impressionism is also based on the object, captures the true nature of landscape and also uses colors to created a rich effect to the painting. The paintin...
