Web Art

This image by Ahmd Nadalian is an interesting example of web art.  From my understanding web art is artwork that gains most of its inspiration from media.  I like the composition of this image.  The silhouetted figures are bold and apparent right away when you see this image.  It was not until after viewing this image for a couple seconds that i noticed the screen in the bottom left hand corner.  The colors work nicely.  I am not sure if the viewer is looking at the figures from behind a screen, but it appears that way.  The colors are nice mild, warm tones and i think it works nicely for the composition.  I am excited to learn more about visual art.

Week 5

I decided to write my blog for this week about this picture.  I really like the simplicity of the image.  There are a lot of things going on that grab your attention, but the repetitive patterns gives it a calming feeling.  The placement of what appears to be the salt and pepper shaker is perfect.  It allows your eyes to move nicely from the bottom left-hand corner in a counter clockwise motion.  I like the contrast of the image.  The strong black and white values in the salt shaker draw your attention to them right away.  The grays in the background nicely complement the strong white tones of what appears to be a coffee table.  Overall I think this is a very successful image.

Abstract Painting

I found this abstract painting very interesting.  I feel that is conveys a sense of anger or rage, probably because of the large presence of red.  I like the concentration of the piece in the middle of the image.  I feel that it gives this piece a more centered focus.  I like the variety of colors.  I feel it gives the piece a feeling of confusion and little repetition.  This piece helps give me a better idea of how to convey emotions without using figures.
