The Portrait of a Lady holding a Rose by Thomas Dewing . This piece of art is a great example of an Asymmetrical design. if you notice at the bottom half of the painting it is taken up by most of the lady's dress. The same could be said for the left portion of the work. The artist put more of the weight of the painting in the bottom left hand portion.
The Painter and his model as klio by Jan Vermeer. The artist did a great job at bringing your attention to a certain object in the room in the painting. If you couldnt tell it was the book that the model was holding. It is brighter than its surrounding making it the first thing you look at. this is known as Emphasis.
Nixes Mate by Larry Poons. It may be hard to focus on any single point of this painting but that was the purpose of it. Poons uses Repatition of the tiny ovals and places them in a pattern across the entire painting in different colors. Repatition uses many patterns and same colors.
The Penitent Magdalen by Georges De La Tour. In the middle of the painting there is a fine line where you can see two seperate images by the use of light and dark. This is known as contrast and is shown very well by the ladys arm and the darkness behind the mirror. It is the most noticable element in this painting.
Untitled by Katsushika Hokusai. When you look at a painting where do you look first? then where do your eyes move next? This is known as visual movement. In this painting I found to start in the left top corner moved right to the women on the rocks then down to the drowning people. where do your eyes go?
Mojo Office building by Cleas Oldenburg. Our normal expectations of the scale of binoculars on average are about the size of a small dinner plate. In the work of art the size of the binoculars is blown way out of proportion. Other than visual pleasure this work of art is also being used as a functional part of a building.
