Assignment #2

All artists create different types of asymmetrical balance by making sure there is balance on the right and left side of the painting. Some artists use the color, shapes and forms to express what they are trying to convey. An artist also makes contrast with light and dark colors which brings the deliver the message. This painting called The Oxbow by Thomas Cole which shows a contrast between the colors like you could see the dark clouds in the left then you could see it turning light in the right. This shows that the thunderstorm destroyed the trees and that after it has passed that the light is shining which shows that there could be tranquility after a storm. There are several ways that artist uses to unify an art work by using repetition, color, shapes, patterns, forms and sculling structure. The painting shows how the color and shapes makes the painting come together. Scale changes the meaning of an artwork because it’s could change the viewer’s perspective or response about the art work.

  1. Hi Mariely,
    Your first example is good but you need to use a visual example for the 2nd 2 questions- be more specific also- i.e., How does scale change perspective?
