Art Space Sculpture

Below, is a picture of an idea I have been thinking about for my space sculpture.The idea is a train on rail road tracks. If I end up doing this sculpture it will consist of 5 parts.
Part 1: The last car, a circus
Part 2: The second last car, a coal car
Part 3: The second car, a passenger car
Part 4: The front car, the conducting car
Part 5: The bottom, the train tracks and grass

Francis Bacon Self Portrait

Francis Bacon


The self portrait on the right was painted by Francis Bacon in 1971. The element of line in Bacon's self portrait is all organic. All of the lines are free and flowing. The shapes in Bacon's work of art 2-D. The organic 2-D self portrait looks like it has a texture of bumpy brushstrokes along the work. In Francis Bacon's self portrait the value is extremely dark. The negative space in this self portrait is the black area. The positive area is the head with all of the strange non-human colours. The colours in this work of art are dark and gloomy. The colours consist of blacks, grays, whites, and a little bit of orange and red. The dull colours show what Picasso never often did in his paintings. Therefore I think that's why it made its mark on history. 

Vincent Van Gogh Self Portrait

Vincent Van Gogh


The self portrait shown on the right was done by Vincent Van Gogh. The lines in the painting is hard but not jagged and rough. The lines are both organic and geometric. All of the lines are real in this painting there are no implied lines.The shapes in the painting are all 2-D.The texture of the painting looks rough and bumpy where all of the painted lines are. The value in the self portrait is minimal. On him Van Gogh there is value but the area around him has none. Space in this painting would have to be half negative and half positive. The negative area is the lighter green and yellow area around Van Gogh and the positive area is Vincent himself. The colours in the painting are brighter colours, such as greens and yellows and whites. There are also some darker colours such as darker greens and blacks.

Gothic Cathedrals

Gothic Cathedrals

The Gothic Cathedral, Reims Cathedral (shown right) in France, originates from the 12th century. Riems Cathedral was created using gothic architecture.

The outside of the cathedral has such intricate designs.




The inside of the cathedral also has very intricate designs. The giant stained-glass is a marvelous work of art to put into a gothic cathedral. The ceilings are also very high and have extremely inticate painings.

Giorgio DeChirio

Giorgio DeChirio

These two pictures above are paintings by an Italian painter Giorgio DeChirico. He was born in Volo, Greese in 1888 and later died in Rome, Greese in 1979. Giorgio was a painter, sculputer, theatrical designer and a writer. The top painting is called The Uncertainty Of The Poet and was created in 1913. The mood in The Uncertainty Of The Poet is set by the sculpture and the fallen bananas. This sets a mood of depression yet mystery. I think that beause the sculpture is set in such a way that is makes it look like it is hiding something deep, and the fallen bananas on the ground make it look depressing like someone left them there to die with the mystery sculpture. The bottom painting by Giorgio is called Piazza d'Italia and was also created in 1913. Piazza d'Italia in English is Piazza of Italy. The mood in Piazza d'Italia is set by the the colours. The colours set the mood to be happy and warm. They make the painting feel like the sun is rising, so it makes me get this warm, fuzzy, inviting feeling inside my stomach.
