    Tobias and the Angel
    This painting was during the Renaissance period. It was done by a man named Leonardo da Vinci. This painting is Italian painted during the 1470's. Italian paintings are usually very intense which is why I chose this painting. I also chose it because the lines are thick and the value is very coloful and it explains alot. The colors, clothing and the people in the painting itself tells us alot about what is going on. They look like angels that are in the middle of a wrecked and damaged place.

    John Biglin in a Single Scull
    This painting is by Thomas Eakins, an American Realism Painter. I could come up with alot of stories about this painting and that is why I chose it. The man looks so realistic and so does his actions. He looks so real as if it was a photography of a man. This is an oil canvas painting. It is easy to work with but it is expensive to buy. It will last a lot longer though and that could be worth it.

The colors are so bright and happy and the volume is cheerful. The lines are very thick everywhere, but It is a happy painting and that is also why I chose it. They are both playing on the piano having fun as well as learning.
  • Three Female Figures

    Three Female Figures
    This painting was done by Henry Moore. It is a Modernism Art. I found this very interesting because it is different. It is a work done on a paper. The artist used watercolor. He probably also used crayons, pencils, inks & probably some other things on a paper. This is from the modern time, and people payed a lot for it. It was worth so much. I chose it because it is unique from other paintings. The colors and the value don’t have so much difference in them. The theme could be anything.
  • Drowning Girl

    Drowning Girl
    Roy Lichtenstein painted this. He was American. It is an oil and synthetic polymer paint on a canvas. There aren’t a lot of so many different colors but the value is very sensitive and strong. The lines are interesting and the girl that is drowning is an emotional part. I chose it because it is an amazing contemporary art work. The girl looks like she could be dreaming or just trying to escape from the real world. It could mean a lot of things. She looks like she is ready to give up though.
