Museum Critique


I think what stands out the most about this piece is how the picture itself is upside-down and the viewer needs the glass sphere in able to actually see the real piece. I think the sphere is pretty important because without it you wouldn't be able to see what it really was without paying close attention, cause I definitely didn't when I first glanced at it.I think the artist's lifestyle must be kind of structured and organized based on the way that the piece is set up. All the different colors are placed strategically which helps to move the eye around. I think the feelings that it inspires is more toward an awe for the time it took to assemble spools of thread in this way to make a picture that I think everyone recognizes across the world. Because there is something like this that is so easily recognizable, I think the attention to detail is pretty accurate. Typography hasn't been used at all in this piece. The overall concept is pretty solid. The imagery is easy to understand and see well.

Critiquing art


1: The endless reflections.
2: The one way mirror it's encased in, repeatedly reflecting itself.
3: The reflective blue surface of the piece itself.
4: It further adds to the theme of endlessness.
5: The artwork itself is simple and monochrome, the fact it endlessly reflects itself adds to the piece's complexity.
6: The legs to the trumpet-like appendage on the models.
7: The simplistic shapes used to create the figures.
8: The edge where the pebbles meet the reflection.
9: Because of how many pebbles there are the mirror's reflection makes it difficult to find the edge.
10: Contentment and endlessness.
11: How as the repeated reflection draws farther away it becomes darker.
12: For the concept it is well crafted. It finds it detail in it's repetitive form.
13: As anything other than a piece of artwork, no. This piece would be meaningless if it even lost a single piece which made it up.
14: No.
15: From the title's suggestion "Endless mountains" yes  i believe it holds close to the concept.
16: Yes.

Art Museum - Peyton Payne


1. The frame is what stood out to me the most.
2. The frame looks really elegant, fancy, and antique. I love antique things. 
3. The picture was actually really small. The picture I took doesn't show how small it really was.
4. I think it's important how small it is because in my opinion, it would've been more difficult to paint and get all the details in it.
5. I think this picture uses color scheme. Everything goes together.
6. The trees and the cows leads your eyes from thing to thing.
7. I feel like this artist probably painted a lot of nature or animals.
8. There might be a farm house on the other side of the trees.
9. I think the artist made it to where you could only see the cows so you could imagine whatever you wanted to.
10. Maybe the artist grew up on the farm and that's all he was around growing up.
11. This artwork was really interesting to me because of how detailed it was. Every artwork is detailed, but this one grabbed my attention because of how small it was. I love the Little House on the  Prairie, and this artwork gave me the image of those books.
12. Yes. You can tell the artist spent a lot of time with the details.
13. This artwork would be used more as a decorative piece.
14. It's not been used.
15. Just showing nature and the animals living peacefully.
16. No.

Madison Duncan KMA homework

1. How real the piece looks
2. Because of the hair, wrinkles, and sun spots/bumps
3. How the figure is looking over his shoulder 
4. Because you wonder what he's looking at
5. The texture is visual because we weren't allowed to touch it and the scale of the person was much bigger than a normal person
6. The wrinkles and spots on the skin
7. That the artist uses a great amount of detail in his pieces 
8. The face is turned away and you can't notice it doesn't have a face until you look behind the piece
9. Because the piece is about the back of the man 
10. The artwork has no clothes on and you can tell he works hard because of his flawed skin and he's looking backwards hiding his face
11. That the artist used his actual hair as the hair on the figure 
12. Yes, that's is why I noticed it 
13. No
14. No

Prospective - Peyton Payne


This image represents “monumental” by showing the miniature elderly couple admiring the cigarette butt like it’s a monument.

 
 By trying to make the golf ball look like it is as big as the human, the image represents “exaggeration.”



This image shows a representation of “scale.” It is showing how big the object is compared to a human.



The “Last Supper” represents “golden mean” by bringing everything together and making the main point on Christ. 

Emphasis Madison Duncan


Emphasis gives prominence to part of a design. A focal point us a compositional device used to create emphasis. Both emphasis and focal point are used to attract attention and increase visual and conceptual impact.

Image 1 portrays emphasis by size because the focal point is the smaller dot


Image 2 demonstrates emphasis by converging lines to the areas where the lines meet

Image 3 provides emphasis by contrast between the difference of colors and shapes

Image 4 the focal point is the colorful shape

Image 5 emphasizes on the darker blue area where all the boats are heading towards
