Introduction: we began to do this assignment in May 2014. The purpose of the writing assignment was to understand our art work better and to introduce it to others.
Reflection: the hardest part of writing this assignment was vocabularies. We needed to use many art vocabularies to write this assignment. The part that I did good in this assignment was that I analyzed my art work totally. Everyone can understand my art work after they read my essay. If I had to do this assignment again, I would use more art vocabularies. I learned how to write an good essay and how to analyze your work from the assignment.

Art Essay
My art work is divided into three part: photograph, 3D materials and painting. Photograph is my background, circle and the light---rainbow. 3D materials are metals and sponge. Painting is used by propylene and the color is azure blue. The main part of my art work is the rainbow which goes through the whole photograph. People can look at my work from the upper left corner to the lower right corner which is the rainbow’s direction. The circle in the middle is the frame. I am going to analyze my art work from three parts. They are contrast, connection and significance. There are many contrasts in my art work. The first contrast is the contrast between 3D materials and 2D photograph---soft and hard. The color of the background is soft. I didn’t use black as my background. The soft background is for highlighting the rainbow and the 3D materials. I use rivet as my 3D materials. Rough little metals line up. They are repetitive and rhythmic. It makes people feel modern and simplicity. Contrast the soft of my background, rivets are hard. The second contrast is the contrast between different parts of lights: full and empty. The lights which on the left side of the circle is the light reflection of the rainbow. Different colors of lights stick together. They are layered and abstract. I use big pieces of light for do not break the sense of wholeness of my art work. The right side of the circle is simple. There are many space on it. That’s for highlight the main part, otherwise people will not know where the main part is. The third contrast is the contrast between colors: dark and white. Inside the circle, there are two kinds of color. They are lighter color and darker color. The rivets divide them. There are two opposite colors inside one circle, it can make people feel strong different. Connection is important. It’s important because it can decide whatever the work is wholeness or not. The first connection is the connection between the rainbows and the whole work. Light reflections are everywhere on my art work. They connect the sponge, metal and background. Light reflections connect everything on my art work. The light reflections are from the rainbow. The rainbow are the main part. People look at my work with the direction of the rainbow direction. In other word, rainbow connect my whole work. The second connection is the connection between the painting and the photograph. There is a geometry shape which is looks like triangle in my work. It is made by painting and photograph. The “head” of the triangle is inside the circle which is made by photograph. It is black. The rest of the triangle is made by my painting which is outside the circle. It is azure blue. The azure blue looks like dark. Those two colors are connected. Photograph and the painting combine to make a triangle. Also, the deep color highlight the rainbow. The third connection is the connection between the 3D materials and the photograph. The black sponge connect to the black circle which is made by photograph. Both of them are black. Also, the texture of the sponge is connected to the background. Every art work has their own significance. That’s the essence of the art work. First, I am going to tell you why I use rainbow as my light. When sun shines on the glass, the light reflection will appear. The light reflection can be the rainbow. So does the metal. When sun shines on the metal, the rainbow will appear. Metal is my 3D materials. I want to show that the rainbow is come from the metal. They are connected. Second, I am going to tell you why I use azure blue as my painting. One reason is that there is blue in the rainbow. If my painting is blue, then those two colors are connected. Another reason is that blue is the sea color. Blue means sea. Rainbow go through blue means the rainbow go through the sea. In the deep sea, there is a ray of sunshine shine the dark deep sea. I want to show “Hope”. That’s the main idea of my art work. The rainbow will be highlighted by the sea. I want to show how important the light is. Third, I am going to tell you why I use sponge. In fact there is a black square which is made by photograph under the sponge at first. Ms. Cecile said the square is boring, so I use sponge to cover it. That’s one reason. Another reason is that the sponge connect to the circle. In my art work, from complication you can see the simplicity. The light is complication but the structure is simplicity. That’s my work, full of contrast, hope you can like it. |
