Class reflection

I personally belive that my project that was most lacking was my collage. The reason I choose the collage is because i went in only using limited resources meaning i did not using the range of colors I had to the best of my abilites.
My favorite artist has to be Edward Hopper. Mr. Hoppers Art shows something very neat and unexpected with his use of shading and color like in his picture Nighthawks.

Swiftly Tilting Planet 20- Sarah Sze

I really enjoy how this artist uses everyday material for her art like water bottles and desk lamps. For me it looks like a busy city but i think the message she is trying to get acrosse is how the planet is changing so much. But I still think the city is a much cooler idea. I like how one of the light focus right in the center and that is the only light in the entire piece. It seems very peaceful to me like looking out onto a big city like New York or Boston.

Bandaged Ear- Vincent Van Gogh(Dutch)-1889

First thoughts- I not ice he uses many different shades of green which is a very cool affect and the shade on his clothes is also very cool. His face and clothes all make him look like its very chilly. His face his very pale and stiff. When i first saw the bandage i thought it was for covering his ears in cold weather.

The Real Story- This is a painting when Vincent moved to Arles where he began to make some of his most beloved artwork and this portrait really kicked of his creative period.
