Analysis of Abstract Art
Analysis of Abstract Art The picture I have studied is called landscape with trees. The picture has been painted in dull greys and browns and solid black lines. There are lots of sharp angles and the faint outline of houses. The painting has a gloomy atmosphere to it and it looks like a rainy day. I think the picture is a view from a balcony or a window out onto a town. At first I disliked the painting, but the more I looked at it, the more it has grown on me. The painting shows some bold 90 degree angles drawn with black lines that are more prominent in his later work (Composition with two lines, composition two with black lines) and so on. The painting is by Piet Mondrian 1872-1944. Mondrian uses symbolic representation of real objects that give the impression of less detail and depth. The shapes are very indistinct and sort of blur together and seem less prominent than how I think they would look, e.g. The fact that so many of his pictures in his later work were so similar and simplistic gives the impression that he was over doing his initial idea, although his first idea was original if not unique. I prefer some of his earlier work that included "Woods" and "At work/On the land" because although they were still abstract, the qualities that I look for in a painting were more obvious. I expect abstract art to be within certain boundaries, I don't think half a pickled

For this project, I was asked to create my own repeat patterns and to look at the work of pattern designers such as William Morris to help me with my work. I found out how designs can be made for fabrics wallpapers and tiles. I learnt how to develop some of the skills needed to do this I started by making observational drawings of small objects such as padlock, key, pencil, scissors, sharpeners and key rings. William Morris started in a similar way by making drawings from nature. I explored his drawing design of a tile pattern, which is very detailed it has light and dark blue flowers and petals. It also was a symmetrical drawing. I took sections from my original observational drawings and developed pattern designs using different colour schemes. William Morris also developed a number of alternative designs and chose the best one from his commercial work. I was also asked to visit the William Morris museum in Walthamstow, East London. There I saw examples of his work, which inspired me with my own work. By understanding his work, I was able to use some of the techniques in my own work. From my eight repeat pattern designs I chose the best one and enlarged it in a different material. I chose to use tissue paper for my final material as it has an interesting texture. I felt that the design I enlarged was the most successful because it gave me a greater

This piece was painted by Giovanni Antonio Canal, Canaletto, and is called The Grand Canal and the church of Salute. It was painted in 1730 in Venice. It shows the distance between the far away buildings and the close up gondolas. The gondolas appear to be larger then the buildings in the background but actually aren't, it's just painted to look that way. If you look at the right hand side of the painting, it appears as if the buildings are growing smaller. The angle makes it appear this way. There is more detail on the closer up buildings because in real life you can see more detail the closer you are. This helps the depth of the picture, making it seem more life like and 3D. As if you were looking down a river. On the left hand side of the page you can see the shadows, making the sun on the right hand side too. This is why the left hand side is lighter. It also helps show that in between the buildings the shadow of the previous building is showing. This helps it appear more 3D and real. This piece is very realistic and in proportion. The perspective is shown very well and good tone is used. The buildings are in scale and single point perspective is used, meaning that the picture is only looked at from one
Cubism - a movement in modern art.
Cubism. Cubism was created in the 1920's in Paris, the other artists involved were Lyonel Feininger, Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Kasimir Malevich, Patrick Henry Bruce, Albert Gleizes, Natalia Goncharov, Fernand Léger, Mikhail Larionov, Henri Le Fauconnier, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Louis Marcoussis, Jean Metzinger, Robert Delaunay, Roger de la Fresnaye, Henri Laurens, André Lhote, Alexander Archipenko, Juan Gris, Henri Gaudier - Brzeska, Jacques Lipchitz. The style of cubism was different because Cubism is a type of art that shows movement through time. That means that instead of painting someone stiff, the artist would paint them moving. The words I can use to describe the work are: rectangles, squares, right angles, semi-circle, light and dark areas and triangles (the main ones it differs for each picture). The cubist's techniques were to draw a sketch and on another piece of paper draw the shapes then you do the changes at the end and another thing you do in cubism is you brake down the object (person or thing) into geometric shapes. That way instead of showing one face the artist could use small shapes to show more than one. Colour has been used generously and most of them are like watercolour and chalky type The shapes I can see are mostly: rectangles, squares, right angles, semi-circle, triangles, letters, lines, circles, a human type

Studying GCSE Biology Why Study GCSE Biology Biology means the study of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. What Will I Study? GCSE Biology covers a range of topics, including Green Plants, Human Beings, Cells and Genetics. Some work is experimental and hands on, some means writing essays. Our GCSE Biology category has plenty of coursework examples of both. Assignments are often on biological subjects in the news e.g. cloning, environmental problems, health issues. Work outside the classroom may be needed if you are studying living things in their natural environment. Biology what Can I Study Next? GCSE Biology is the first step for anyone who wants a career in medicine or healthcare. It also would help those interested in environmental and conservation issues.

Antoni Gaudi The son of a coppersmith, Antoni Gaudi was born in Reus, Spain in 1852. He studied at the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona and designed his first major commission for the Casa Vincens in Barcelona using a Gothic Revival style that set a precedent for his future work. Over the course of his career, Gaudi developed a sensuous, curving, almost surreal design style which established him as the innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement. With little regard for formal order, he juxtaposed unrelated systems and altered established visual order. Gaudi's characteristically warped form of Gothic architecture drew admiration from other avant-garde artists. Although categorized with the Art Nouveau, Gaudi created an entirely original style. He died in Barcelona in

Chemistry: Density: The amount per unit volume Units for liquid: g/ml & Solid: g/ cm3 *** you may also see kg/m3 ** Note: Density of water is always 1 g/ml Density of gold is always 19.3 g/cm3 ** Substances less dense will float & more dense will sink. Formula: Density = Mass / Volume mass is measured in grams (g) volume is measured in millimetres (mL) Solid is measured in centimetre cubed (cm3) Density using Graph: to get density value, divide the mass coordinate by the volume. Physical/ Chemical Changes Physical Change: Changes in which no new substance is created. New properties may appear but the particles of the new substance are not changed. - Changes of state are physical changes (Melting, Freezing, Condensation, Sublimation, and Evaporation). Ex. Melting ice, grinding coffee, & Dissolving sugar crystals in water. Chemical Change: The change of a substance into one or more different substances with different properties. Ex: Burning, Cooking, & Rusting. Evidence for chemical change: - New colour appears - Heat or light is given off or observed - Bubble of gas are formed - Solid turns into liquid - Change is difficult to reverse Classification of Matter Classification of matter: Anything that has mass and volume is matter. ** Note: Hetro breaks down into mechanical and suspension therefore homo breaks down

Alberto Giacometti , 1901-66, Swiss sculptor and painter; son of the impressionist painter Giovannia Giacometti; b. Stampa. He settled in Paris in 1922, studying with Bourdelle and becoming associated first with the cubists and then the surrealists (see cubism ; surrealism ). His Slaughtered Woman (1932; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City), for example, is a violent surrealist work. Giacometti abandoned surrealist images in 1935. In the 1930s and thereafter, he created highly original sculptures of elongated, emaciated human figures, usually in bronze. He also made open cagelike structures (e.g., The Palace at 4 descr='[AM]', 1933; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City) that were equally powerful. Giacometti's haunting, anguished images have been described as perfect expressions of existentialist pessimism. In the early 1940s he created works on a drastically reduced scale. In his later years he again formed tall, slender, roughly worked figures that are among his most impressive sculptures. In his mature work, he concentrated on three basic themes for his attenuated figures-the seated portrait, the walking man, and the standing female nude, the latter two often with tiny shrunken heads and enormous, rooted feet. Giacometti's imagery and his plastic technique have had an extensive influence on modern sculpture. Many of his oil paintings and drawings, notably his portraits with
