4 types of art and artists

The first piece I selected is a representational oil painting by Morris Bear Squire. It is titled "Buddha One." In this piece, Squire first sketched the subject onto wood, then used oil paint, gold and silver leaf, mother of pearl, and crushed egg shells to accent the painting. He then went over the image several times with lacquer. It is about 24 inches tall by 36 inches wide. I found the painting along with many other original works by Squire at: http://www.mbsart.com/gallery/vietnam/html/buddha1.html.

The painting is two-dimensional but shows mass by showing roundness and a light source. It looks as if there is a light shining on the gold face from the upper right. He uses the effect of chiaroscuro to show shadows on the face. There is also an illusion of depth caused by the black background. The most effective element he uses however is color. The color of gold is so magnificent, not only because of the lacquer but also because it is actual gold leaf. The colors of the eyes and of the background give very good contrast to the piece.

"Buddha One" is symmetrically balanced, showing evenness on both sides of the golden face. There is a focal within both of the eyes. It looks as though clouds were painted i


The next work of art I found is a collage. It is titled "Big Bang Theory" and was created by K. Lee. There is no information about the piece from the website I got it from so I will try my best to describe what and how it was made. http://www.geocities.com/~nightowl47/Tmp5.jpg. I believe that all the collages that were at the website I found are all made using graphics on a computer instead of traditional media. I am guessing that's how this collage was made as well.

There is an asymmetrical balance in the piece that follows the path of the lake all the way to the horizon of rocks. There are several focal points in the photograph as well: the boat, the small hill on the right, and the chimney shaped rock formation in the far distance. There is a well-defined contrast between the lake and the surrounding land.

The last work of art I found was a photograph by Lily Gray and is titled: "Serenity at Lake Powell". This piece is a panoramic photograph taken during the day of a lone boat at lake Powell. http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/photography/senior/g3.html. Because this is a photograph of nature, it is hard to critique it. The artist did not create the subject, she merely captured one instant of it. There is a natural atmospheric perspective within the photograph. There is sand and dirt a few inches from the lens of the camera, but you can also see rock formations that are miles away. There is the effect of stopped time by showing the boat docked and ripples in the water. The natural light source (being the sun) cast shadows and bright spots within the photograph but you cannot physically see the sun. Gray was able to take the photograph when the natural colors seemed to be mild and all mixed together throughout the horizon.

The collage shows Lee's feelings on how our earth and it's children are being destroyed: by pollution and war. It sends a strong message by showing a baby's head on the body of a flea (symbolizing the end of the world). It shows pictures of garbage, and the middle east where hate wars have been going on for hundreds of years. It also shows a stop
