Among the twentieth century’s most influential art photographers, Edward Weston (United States, 1886–1958) is widely respected for his many contributions to the field of photography. Along with Ansel Adams, Weston pioneered a modernist style characterized by the use of a large-format camera to create sharply focused and richly detailed black-and-white photographs. The combination of Weston’s stark objectivity and his passionate love of nature and form gave his still lifes, portraits, landscapes, and nudes qualities that seemed particularly suited for expressing the new American lifestyle and aesthetic that emerged from California and the West between the two world wars. He spent the years 1923–1926 in Mexico City as a part of an international milieu of creative minds attracted by the post-revolutionary excitement of political activists and artists such as Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, Tina Modotti, and others. From the moment he returned to the United States, he began maki

                                                                IMPRESSIONIST In Impressionist painters, they were using light in the majority of their paintings. To create different effects on their paintings.  Another important aspect of impressionist painting is that they all had a message behind them. The artist describes something in his painting always try to send a moral message through their painting.  Most importantly the invention of photographs happens during the impressionist time so that discovery has a huge impact on impressionism.  At that time artist has different pigments that they were using in their painting. And that made a big difference in their art pieces. From the MET website one thing that I see that wasn't mentioned in the video is that impressionism painter was audacious. Edouart Manet was leaving his painting half unfinished we can see that on his painting Madame Edouard mane                                                           POST

In this poster my idea was to show the impact of pollution on African countries because they are the one that are living, facing this directly. So I use a red background then on top left of the poster I write a text that says '' Because of this'' and right next to this text i use two image of a factory and cars emitting toxic gases. In the middle of the poster i use Africa map where i had a picture of drough. Under that its  a picture of young African Kids suffering of famine. Under that image i use a picture of a burning forest and at the bottom a picture of floods. All these images represent the effect of pollution on Africa. Right next to it i had a text where i quote'' We are loosing Africa.'' On the bottom left of the poster i use an image of people using bikes instead of their car and right next to that picture i write a text that says '' let's change our habits'' the message here is if we want to reduce pollution, we have t

The first painting was made during renaissance time (1400-1550) it represent a man praying. In the painting, we can see an old man with his fingers crossed. During the renaissance, the Catholic Church was really powerful   and they were asking painters to paint for them and most of these painting was influenced by the church sot they were using a lot of religious symbols related to Christianism, This painting is called men in prayer and it was painted by Robert Campin between 1430-1435 Robert Campin was from Netherland he was a great master of early Netherland painting.  In the second portrait the first thing we notice that the man is not praying there is no religious representation on the piece of art. That period represents the end of the renaissance and the beginning of another period call baroque (1550-1605). Pieces of Baroque art are different from renaissance first because civilians could pay paint

1-Artist unify their artwork by using different figures, different shape in their artworks also another technique that artist use is repetition using a letter or a number or any type of figure to create something unique like in Charle Demuth painting ‘’ I saw the figure five in gold.’’ where he uses the number 5 a lot of  time to create an effect on the painting. Artist often uses colors and pattern to unify their artwork, Math is also use through geometry symmetry by different artists.  Another way that artist unify their artwork that is not mentioned in the video could be the support used by a painting artist some people use a different type of material to paint to create something different in Africa some artist use animal skin to paint on. Some use sand to draw they are differents techniques that artists use to unify their artwork. 2- Artist creates asymmetrical balance by using effectively space on their artwork an example of that is degas painting called the rehearsal. On this

James frazer end of trait for the viewer the first he sees the status as '' an image of ashamed, defeated Indian.'' that exactly the same feeling that I had when I saw the sculpture before I read his comments all the way to the end. Because the statue represents a soldier on his horse holding his daughter or a random  young girl they all looking down. That is not really how we would represent resistance when you first see the statue resistane is not what will come into your mind directly. But later in the story, she said ''  End of the Trail  Screenprinted on flags used in ceremonies honoring veterans and prisoners of war.''' That gave us another view of the sculpture because making a statue of a soldier strong and ready to go defend his territory is what everyone would expect but by doing this sad and strong image of a soldier in despair he catches people's attention. Plus the soldier still has his weapon on his other arm there no other sign o
