Feeling Small Art

n the course of your life you will go over numerous sorts of scale. Everything begins from your school lab, where research center scales are utilized to quantify the definite sum and extent of components, to direct a fruitful investigation. On the flip side, you have modern scales e.g. truck scales intended to weight the enormous weight of trucks or transports to ensure they can convey substantial hardware or traveler loads without tilting which can bring about serious mechanical or human misfortune.

"Drawn to scale" means a term that used to describe the delineation of distance and measurement on a drawing. E.g. "1/4 inch per foot" means that for each 1/4 of linear distance on the drawing is equivalent to one linear foot of real distance.

Brancusi's imprint on contemporary sculptural practice ranges from the dissemination of furniture-oriented sculpture and the emerging topos of architectural folly to new paradigms for public art. At the same time many postwar artists engaging in a dialogue with his legacy have read and productively misread Brancusi's work. Through the

definite. A scale is a ratio between the size of an area on the map and the actual size of the area

On September 28th, I attend the “Artful Conversation: ‘Bridge and Tugs’” event at the Georgia Museum of Art. At the event, the curator, Carissa DiCindio facilitated an in-depth conversation about Jonas Lee’s painting, “Bridge and Tugs.” We began by looking at the painting and discussing what we saw with the others and then after a while we were instructed to find a new seat. After finding a new seat we received a pencil and a small sheet of paper and Ms. DiCindio asked us to sketch the painting to the best of our abilities. Afterwards, she asked us again what we noticed about the painting. Many people noted they had noticed new details within the painting while sketching, and others stated that simply changing their position in the room had

Each time I travel to the Appleton Museum of Art, the relatively large structure of the museum and the amount of art that has been gathered and displayed there never ceases to amaze me. Yet, this piece is one that draws my attention every time and I’m not sure if it is the size or the subject matter.

As I stood staring at such a life-like sculpture in the confines of a briskly chilly art museum corridor, I could only imagine the amount of exhausted nights the sculptor had to endure to create his extremely exhausted masterpiece. The sculptor Duane Hanson and his piece “The Football Player” most-certainly shared the same facial expression at one point in their existence, as to

The space for ‘Earns of Joy’ is very interesting for a viewer it’s as if the real life background of the sculpture is the background for the boy and his dog. I think the artist did this purposefully so that when people see this piece they will also admire the background surround the work. Also the fact that the rec center and surrounding area is the background show how important the surrounding area is. The artist goal might have been to not only draw the viewer to the sculpture but to draw viewers to the surrounding areas around

Next, let us examine the height of these items. In comparison, both figures are similar in the fact that they reflect seated mean. Khafra sits sternly atop a magnificent chair displaying a sense of power. The statue reaches 66” in height, and is an imposing and awesome piece of work (Davies 59). In contrast,

Personally, I really liked this picture, but in the combination of colors and shapes of objects. There is something ancient and mystical in it, you can even say "sands of time". This inexplicable mystery attracts me, and especially the presence of a hidden "message" in such a vivid place. Looking at this picture, I immerse myself in the atmosphere of the Renaissance. After the 1517 formation, a new worldview influenced the cultural and artistic life of Europe - the artists were no longer bound by the religious framework, the themes of the works expanded and mutated.

Another prominent visual element in this painting is the shape and mass of the woodpile. The woodpile seems to be placed on a mound and in a stack that gives off a triangular implied shape. Due to the lines formed by edges, the painting also

For this observation, I went to the “American Art” section on the first floor of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. When you first walk into the exhibition you see a bunch of glass showcases and to the right was a whole hallway and section designated to Thomas Eakins. The Thomas Eakins’ section is rather large so I ventured there first. All of his pieces are so well done and lifelike. Although, there was so much to pick from, I found a small brown set of five figures in a glass case the most interesting. Each one is only the size of my hand. They are intriguing because not only are they in a well-lit big glass box in a darker hallway, but they are on a smaller scale than most of the other works of art around it. The big lit glass box is split

The installation was part of an exhibition at Weston Art Gallery called: Unfunction. UnFunction was curated by writer Maria Seda-Reeder; she explored the functionality of an object and in what way that function is altered when added to realm of art. Sean T. Mullaney is a multimedia sculptor, who graduated from DAAP, majoring in industrial design and focusing in toy design. He worked as a toy designer and inventor 20 years. Since then he has transitioned into large scale kinetic sculptures. Recently he created a work that showcased in Weston’s exhibition “UnFunction.” The installation is the first work seen after entering the gallery. Its large scale consumes the first floor and the viewer. The work is positioned in the center of an open floor,

As an artist, Stephanie Cardon seeks to stimulate the viewer to create their own understanding of the connections among objects and the intermediary space between them. Beacon, Cardon's first large-scale, outdoor sculpture, articulates this artistic vision. A new commission for the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the sculpture consists of two 11-foot concrete towers connected by a canopy of two layers of thin, yellow vinyl-coated steel cables. The overlapping lines formed by the cables produce shifting visual effects.

Relative size is one of the many pictorial depth cues. This depth cue allows us to determine how close an object is to its known size. Involves the smaller retinal image of two objects as being perceived as further away, and the larger retinal image of two objects as being perceived closer.
