Week of September 23rd- Elements and Principles of Art- intro to Renaissance & Baroque

1. Describe several ways that artists unify their artwork. Find an example and describe how its unified.

Artists unify their work through means of self expression. For example Keith Haring expressed himself through the majority of his artwork in the from of illustrating figures usually making gestures, standing for a different meaning, such as a political allegory.

























































2. Describe how an artist creates asymmetrical balance- post an artwork of your choice and explain how it is balanced asymmetrically.


An artist creates asymmetrical balance through the use of differentiating parts of their artwork, where it may appear to be unbalanced color or content wise, but through the use of other methods, are able to make the art appear to be one.















































3. How can scale change the meaning of an artwork? Use a visual example of your choice as an example and explain how the meaning is changed by scale.



Scale changes the meaning of an artwork, due to the emphasis placed on a specific portion of the artwork, depending on the increase or decrease in scale of that particular focal point.
                                                                                   


                                                        
For example this large scale artwork is heavily changed by the scale of it, the young girl who is the subject of the artwork holds a watering can in a downward motion as if she were watering a plant. The artist used the scale of the artwork to create the illusion of the girl being a giant size watering the tree which is a part of nature, that's image is subject to influence by the artwork.
