Evaluating Artwork

 DIRECTION

The picture shown above is a great representation of "direction" in art work. As the wind blows through the grass, the blades unanimously move in the direction the wind is blowing. The wispy look of the grass gives it a softer, calmer feel. Direction is important in representing movement and directional actions. The grass is blowing horizontally which suggests calmness, stability and tranquility.

TEXTURE

This photo clearly is a good representation of the use of texture. Texture gives art work, form, feel and realistic qualities. The surface quality of this image is displayed as rough and worn. This element gives the image more interest and character, making the door of this metal cabinet look antique with years of use.

COLOR

This image is a great depiction of the use of eloquent colors. The colors in this photograph are bold and give the image more definition. The greens of the grass pop from the image and bring out the yellowish color of the dried grass beside it. The truck is almost a greenish gray, but very pronounced. The artist used an assortment of grays that allowed the truck to have more value with shading and lighting. The silver colors of the truck are also very pronounced and the use of white gives the silver a shiny look as it reflects light. As you can see the sky is overcast, however behind those dark clouds you can visibly see a bright blue sky. This gives the picture personality and uniqueness.

VALUE

The only colors that make up this image are black and white. However, the image is predominantly dark with dark shades of black and gray. The use of black gives this image more definition. The fact that there is only one light source helps tell us that this picture takes place in the evening. The light touches the environment around it with light shades of gray fading into black as the light source weakens.  The values of light and dark in this image give it an ominous tone.

LINE

This image contains an assortment of directional lines. The use of these lines make the image appear as if you were standing in the corridor with the background shrinking as it becomes farther and farther away. The vertical lines of the pillars give this image a feeling of balance, formality and alertness. The pillars are abrupt and perfctly built. The crossed lines of the tile on the floor gives the image a bit more interest as the lines fade into a "vanishing point" in the horizon.

 SHAPE

This picture is very abstract and is a design peice. This picture uses a variety of shapes to make up differnt patterns. The uses of squares, lines, triangles and other quadrilaterals, make this photo edgy with sharp corners and give this picture an ecstatic feel. The bright colors and assortment of intersecting lines make this an eye catching picture.

SIZE

The picture above was likely done digitally. As the dice is thrown, the dice appear to get larger as they move to the bottom of the photo. This appeal to different sizes make the dice appear to be moving toward the screen. The relationship of the first dice and the last is significant because the closer the dice is to the view point the larger it becomes. The first dice is represented smaller to make it appear to be coming from the background.
