Thomas Cole - Landscape
American 1825
This landscape shows depth by making sort of an s shape in the landscape this brings your eye from the barn around the 3 trees in the center and into the sunlit meadow on the right. I think the brightness of the background also helps to add depth as it contrasts with the darker foreground immediately commanding your attention to that area.
1648 National Gallery, London- Claude
This piece
also uses dark and light colors to move your eyes around the picture. I think in this piece however, the use of
complementary colors in different areas of the picture is really what adds to
the depth. I think adding the touches of
orange to the trees insinuating sunlight really brings attention to the
background sky. The mountains that seem
almost faded in the background also show depth with in the picture.
The artist
of this piece did not add depth to the composition. This piece is flat but the components of it
do not seem flat on their own. For example, it does not look like some one drew a picture
of an envelope but that it is actually an envelope which makes the piece have a
real life quality.
"Ten
Winter Tools" Jim Dine
1973 American
This piece
looks like the artist drew the tool on a table, there is no space behind it and
you can only see one side of the tool. The
shadows on the edges of the tool almost try to suggest there is distance
between the top of the tool and the surface it is laying on but there is no
actual definition of the space.
