    Looking at sculptures and paintings in person or in a museum rather than looking at them on a flat screen can drastically change the way you take in the artwork in many different ways. One good example is the Ladder for Booker T. Washington by Martin Puryear, which, in person, was vastly larger than I expected. When looking at an artwork in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, you get to observe details and witness different focal points that you would most likely miss looking at a computer. In Mart Puryear’s artwork, size, focal point, and surroundings can be wildly miscommunicated through a photograph. Size is a very important aspect in Ladder for Booker T. Washington, which is why I was astonished on how large the artwork was in person, compared to images that I’ve seen online.…

    1. From the perspective of James Otis there are numerous people I would love to “date” again. I would like to date John Adams again because we were good friends, and worked together to get the Townshend Act repealed. John is strongly against taxation without representation, which was something I felt strongly about as well. I would also like to date Samuel Adams because he made efforts to repeal the stamp and tea acts, two acts that were inflicted upon the colonies without adequate representation in Parliament.…

    Linear perspective is a perspective mostly used by artists in which the relative size, shape, and position of objects are determined by drawn or imagined lines converging at a point on the horizon. It allows the painting to become like reality and makes it seem as if you are there physically. It gives illusion of depth and distance. The linear perspective was invented during the Italian renaissance and was said to be first used by architect Filippo Brunelleschi. He explained how objects shrink in size according to their position and distance from the eye.…

    Chey schaefer Research paper 12/1/2017 Tseng Alexander Rodchenko and his use of alienation Alexander Rodchenko's marvelous photography -- for which he is now best remembered -- tilted the world in a new direction. He would typically skew the angle of his shots, so that our eyes are not dominated by the usual dead-on rectangle. Trying to break the habits of seeing and slide space itself into new dimensions, his rigorous compositional sense visually "holds" the elements of the photograph in place. Alexander Rodchenko used perspective as a tool of alienation to signify his style.…

    Stand there, right in front of the painting; what do you see? Look closely, very closely and see the paint on the canvas flow through each brush stroke, see the colors expand and blur, and see how the lights play off the soft, vibrant colors. Watch the swirls expand out into an infinite space in time . The paint flies beyond the canvas and the shadows and reflections blur into one. The pinks, blues, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and browns blend together to create a symphony of colors.…

    Art is constantly changing. Styles come in and out of favor, subject matter old and new are painted and explored, and new techniques are developed. One major development and new technique that vastly changed art was the use of linear perspective during 15th Century Italy. As with any new technique, the use of linear perspective took a while to advance and become the mathematically based depth cue that people now know it as.
