The Policeman!

Joan Miro i Ferra born April 20, 1893 and past in December 25, 1983. He was a world renowned Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist who was born in the sea port city of
Barcelona. His father being a locksmith and his mother being a goldsmith exposed him to art at young age. Drawing have been recovered by Miro from when he was only 8 years old (1901). He enrolled into the School of Industrial and Fine Arts in Barcelona until 1910; during his attendance he was taught by Modest Urgell and Josep Pasco. In 1911 he overcame a fight against typhoid fever and after that he decided to devoted himself to painting by attending the school of art taught by Francesc Gali. He then studied at La Lonja School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and in 1918 set up his first individual exhibition in the Dalmau Galleries, in the city. His works before 1920 reflect the influence of different trends, like pure and brilliant colors used in Fauvism, shapes taken from cubism, influences from folkloric Catalan art and Roman frescos from the churches. Through his time he created highlight pieces such as the two ceramic murals made for the UNESCO building in Paris (The Wall of the Moon & The Wall of the
Sun).

period. The Art Deco movement

Form, Subject And Content

colour. For time based art forms such as movies; duration, tempo, intensity, scope, setting and chronology are used. Form is the combination of the visible elements of an art piece, and the way in which they unite The subject is the topic of the artwork. It answers the questions: who, what, when, where, and why in a piece of art. It’s easy to find the subject of a piece of art when a recognizable person, object, event, or setting is visible.

Dealing With Anxiety

longing for an end. Dealing with anxiety was never easy for me. I always felt like I was never living up to my fullest potential or that I was a disgrace to everyone around me. Sadly, my artwork is always a victim of my anxiety. I was never comfortable receiving criticism or critiques solely around my artwork. Every word that came from my instructor’s mouth felt like needles striking at my hands, punishing me for creating such pitiful work. One day however, the needles stopped. Instead of pain inducing…

Diego Rivera Sunflowers

Art Critique This artwork is called “Sunflowers” and it is by Diego Rivera. When I look at this artwork, I see two children in a sunflower field. A little girl is playing with a broken doll and a young boy beside her is looking at a white mask. On the ground around them, there is another doll and a yellow and red mask. By looking at this artwork, I can see that the artist used the element of texture by including creases on the children’s shirts and pants. The artist also used a warm color scheme…

The Idea Of Differ�nce

nor does it have a meaning. The idea of differánce reminds me of Zeng Hao’s oil painting series, which depict interior space as a critique in the rapid transformation in contemporary China. However, the titles of these paintings indicate an uncertain moment and space, eg. Friday 5pm. When and where is Friday 5 pm? The fragmented uncertainty put the artworks into a lost time and space, and therefore the difference the artist trying to capture is differed. It can be everywhere and within every…

Tradition Definition Essay

Traditional definitions, at least as commonly portrayed in contemporary discussions of the definition of art, take artworks to be characterized by a single type of property. The standard candidates are representational properties, expressive properties, and formal properties. So there are representational or mimetic definitions, expressive definitions, and formalist definitions, which hold that artworks are characterized by their possession of, respectively, representational, expressive, and formal properties…

Erika Walter has been drawing since she was two years old and is now going to college for art. She has been studying comics and other art styles to improve her work. However, without a marketing strategy, it would be difficult for her art work to be bought. Now there are not only ways to get noticed, but…

Standard Of Taste Analysis

describes the type of mindset one should have to be a “true” art critic. This is the same idea that one should posses to have a relevant standard of taste. While it is true that art should be able to be viewed and critiqued by everyone, it is questionable as to what extent that critique should be valued. The inanimate object of physical art cannot be elitist. But the idea behind art can. The perception of art being elitist stems from the people who surround it. Art itself was not made to exclude people, but that doesn’t me…
