Creation of Adam

The creation of Adam uses emphasis, line, and variety to make it one of the most important peices of the renaissance time. The variety in this artwork isn't in the colour or design of the peice but in the placement of the characters. On the left side there is a single  person sitting on a rock but on the right side pointing at the other man is god. Who is dressed in a robe and has at least five people surrounding him in the background. The Emphasis and line are used in almost the same way to complete the artwork. There is emphasis on the muscles and figure of the two characters. This was one of Michelangelo's trademarks in most of his artwork. He makes the men in the perfect image with detailed muscles and features. Some say this is because he was homosexual. The way he can make the muscles and features is by a mixture of straight curved and detailed lines. The lines that are more curved are found in the abdomen of the man on the left. 

The way I interpret this piece is that God is on the right and Adam on the left. It looks like God has is reaching from heaven to touch Adam almost like making the final touches on his creation. The people surrounding him could be angels or Adams relatives that are helping god to create Adam.

I added the last picture as one final joke before summer.

Portfolio interview questions.

My favourite project was definitely my paint splatter one because I didn't have to follow any rules or direction I could just do what I wanted to do. My least favorite project was the 2 point perspective. I didn't like this one because I can't draw very good and I tried 7 times to make one and it didn't work. I can't thing of one project that taught me the most but what I did learn from the tile project is that you can paint clear glaze over any paint on the tile and once it's fired it won't show up. Taking part in relay for life changed my definition of art a little. The way it changed it is that I now believe art is something that benefits not just the artist but the people who purchase it and the people around the artwork.

Paint splatter analysis

The main qualities that my painting has is colour, texture,  and variety. Colour shines through this peice. In the middle of the painting there is light and warm colours. Mostly light green,  red, and yellow. As you slowly move away from the center to the outer edges of the painting the colours change to cold and dark colours. Mostly purple, dark blue,  and teal. With some dark red.  My whole painting has extreme texture. Since I used drywall puddy and made lines and lumps on the board, some paint sticks out more then others. The paint that lays on top of the puddy bulges is raised and catches the eye A lot more than the splatter laying on the flat part of the board. Since I splattered the paint instead of using brush strokes the paint skips across the wood in random lines and shapes making the texture unpredictable.  The amount of variety in this peice is very well. There is variety in the amount of paint from the center to the outside of the painting. In the center there is more think drops and very tight together. As you move to the outside of the painting the drops are more separated and almost spastic lines and techniques. 

In the end this artwork was definitely my favourite project.
