The Screamer

Like the painting, the sketch exhibits a number of West 's finest imaging and clearly and convincingly depicts all of the feeling of a frightful scene. The larger oil on canvas work isn 't one portrait, but rather, a

In the beginning the men see a lighthouse that is supposed to be where the rescue team awaits. “It took an anxious eye to find a lighthouse so tiny” (Crane 249). The men were anxious to be rescued and to have hope of being on land again. As they drifted along, they realized that the life station have appeared to be abandoned (crane 251). Just before then Crane describes the land and the lighthouse as a “…upright shadow on the sky, this land seemed but a long black shadow on the sea” (Crane 250). This gives the reader the impression that the men are not match for the large sea, causing then to lose hope of being rescued. The symbol is carried on throughout the story when the vegetation on page 252 is being described as dark because it is lifeless. In contrast, the light symbolizes hope. Crane describes the light as “the furniture of the world” (Crane 257). This light is just the right amount of hope the men need to stay afloat. In the final stages of the story the men were helped ashore by a naked islander. The correspondent sees this kind helper as a saint that was lit up by a halo above his head (Crane 265). The islander represents light and survival. On the other hand “In the shadows, facedown, lay the oiler” (Crane 265) who had lost his life in the fight of the waves to get ashore. The shadow that was cast about him represented death and loss of hope

This painting is so realistic and painted with such precision and detail that he must’ve wanted us to see this place exactly how he did, with great beauty and light. The local colors are vibrant and cool yet still make you smile because it reminds you of a warm summer day. The use of two contrasting colors, the blue of the water and sky and the tan of the cliffs and couds, make the tan color stand out creating such a visually pleasing and dynamic effect. The organic fluffy clouds and the ripples in the water convey a peaceful sense to the scene. The pompous cliffs stand solidly contributing to the historical importance of this location. The artist captures the illusion of depth through atmospheric perspective; as the object gets farther it encompasses less detailed contributing to the descriptive nature of it. Since the left side of the painting is much heavier than the right this painting is asymmetrical. Your eye tends to gravitate towards the cliffs on the left because of their size and bright color which emphasize the cliffs. This emphasis creates a focal point that the viewer is immediately compelled to look at.

Edvard Munch's "The Scream" was painted around the end of the 19th century, and is possibly the first Expressionist painting. The Scream was very different from the art of its time. During this time artists tried to paint realistic paintings. Munch was a tortured soul, and it certainly showed in this painting. Most of his family had died, and he was often plagued by sickness. The Scream was a reflection of what was going on at the time, and what was going on in Munch's own mind

4. Space- Perspective is demonstrated in many ways. This artwork takes up almost the whole canvas. The horses on the edge look like they were maybe even squeezed in. All of the characters in this artwork look to be congregated to the middle of the painting, besides the villages in the distance. Linear perspective is used in the placement of the villages in the background and in all the men and horses, which are grouped in the middle of the screen. Looking at the features in the painting I notice the use of overlapping and vertical placement, which both imply depth. The horses overlap each other as well as the gentlemen and other elements of the painting. The brown horse’s head overlaps the black one hiding its mouth. The villages and hills in the background appear to be very far away (diminishing size); they look smaller and distant from the rest of the main aspects of the painting.

The convergence of the implied lines forming the river banks with the fading blue mountains on the right produce a left to right movement when viewing the painting. The invisible lines created by the mountain range and the river emphasize direction by moving the viewer from a narrow and cramped foreground to a vastly open background that seems to go on for miles. His use of lines to produce this movement down the river has an effect of taking the viewer on a short ride into the distance towards the open mountains under a clear blue sky with white fluffy clouds. In contrast the buildings in the distance are enveloped in white with much softer lines and less defined outlines. This progression from clearly outlined and defined to less defined and wispy shapes communicates the thought of starting a journey in firm reality and moving down a dreamy river towards the unknown. Carefree clouds, beautiful mountains, and blue water just take the viewer to a more serene place, away from the reality of the

Techniques in this painting include many different mediums such as carving into the wood, paint, and varnish to create multiple dimensions and tension in this piece. Specifically tension from the stains of varnish making the depiction look dirty and worn, as well as lettering from the red kanji appearing on this piece of which is illegible to me, after carefully analyzing the piece I moved on. Venturing to the second floor of the art museum I observed a series of pieces named Fearful Symmetry Holly Scoggins a professor of art at Polk State the one I found to be the most interesting Little

It looks like the main focus of this painting is literally in the center of the piece. Anyone that were to ever view this painting could tell from the beginning that the overall view of this content is pathos. In the main section of the painting, there is an image of a person who is getting poured some type of liquid over their head. In this image, we can see the person in the center with no shirt on, and they have a small blue robe type of clothing tied below their waist. Around this person there are two figures with wings, they are wearing mini white gowns and their wings are white also. There is a person next to the wing like figures, that is pouring some type of liquid above the other person, this other human like

Looking at this artwork brings a great cast of sorrow to me. The scene of the painting seems dangerous and hostile there is positivity because a group of people is helping one single person. Some visual elements that are prominent to me in this painting include line, the unity of color, and a well noticeable focal point.

The horizontal lines of the land represent calmness and te diagonal and vertical lines of the sea represents power and ever changing . There is a contrast with these two such as the sea is ever changing and the land that is hard slow to change. Next I looked at the shapes of the painting. With landscapes, such as this painting, there is organic shapes that show the chaos and never ending change of the ocean and storm that is pounding the land that is calm. I then looked at the contrast of the waves and land then the sky and storm. The waves are dark with the land being light with the opposite light above the dark waves and dark above the light land area. It makes it seem like the storm clouds are passing with the rising of the

I instantly fell in love with it, and simultaneously became fascinated by this artist who could so fully capture a feeling of utter terror, with The Scream, and a deep feeling of the difficulties surrounding love, with this painting.

Driven

• The focal point of the painting is the sun-drenched valley and river. The emphasis comes from the diagonal of the tree to the left that directs the view of the scene down the valley toward the farmland.

This painting was created during the time of Sigmund Freud. I found this very interesting since Munch himself lived a very tough life himself. Munch began to express his tormented inner world through his artistic creations, giving birth to an art style that would later be known as Expressionism (Art Analysis). Expressionism is defined as a form of art in which visual appearances are distorted to express psychological or emotional states (Getlein, 551). I believe that Scream may have been the very beginning of this form of art, since Scream evokes such an emotional response from its viewers.

This painting shows how close and codependent humans and nature were. How well humans worked together with one another and their world. How peaceful those that are close to nature are, which is why it (nature) must be celebrated and appreciated.
