I See Art
Posted by merrylenz on December 27, 2005
Thanks to Mrs. Stinson–we will be participating in the I See art program. Students will learn about two new works of art each month.
Starry Night and Blue Atmosphere
Van Gogh’s finest works were produced in less than three years in a technique that grew more and more impassioned in brushstroke, in symbolic and intense color, in surface tension and in the movement and vibration of form and line. The artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain his struggle against madness and his comprehension of the spiritual essence of man and nature.
This is Helen Frankenthaler’s First in acrylic paint, is filled with overlapping, billowy forms in strong reds and blues, held and separated from the white unstained section of the canvas by dark blue shapes. Abstract expressionism.
”Mona Lisa” is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Leonardo worked on this painting for four years. Beleiving in idealization, he used another model for the hands and torso, thus making a composite painting. This work has caused more speculation than any other in the history of art and has been written about by art critics, poets, and authors; all of whom are fascinated by her smile.
Francisco Goya was one of the greatest and most original Spanish painters. “Senora Sabasa Garcia” is a magnificent portrait in which clarity of the drawing of the face and hair contrasts with the soft draping of the shawl that captures the light in delicate impressionistic brushstrokes.
