"Standing in the Shoes" Kimbra Elliot

The Atmospheric perspective is the distance between the balloons which
creates depth. The size of the balloons enhances the picture through scale size
and my vanishing point is the trail at the top of the hill. All objects in the
The windmill is another perspective given to enhance the other objects in the 
drawing tend to lean to the vanishing point giving the eyes a place to wonder
drawing as well.

Leonardo Da Vinci - Esteban Aguilar

Atmospheric/aerial perspective is expressed through darker lines
near the foreground and lighter lines near the horizon/vanishing point.
The foreground object is a skyscraper, appearing very close to the
ppear more distantly. The vanishing point lies just to the left of where
viewer, whereas two smaller buildings as well as a narrowing road 
a the road becomes so narrow that it is simply a line. Orthagonals (such as 
some of the building edges) point to this area.

Standing in the Shoes of Renaissance Masters

Beauty woman - Jorge Fernando Delius

Material:

- C Cream-colored soap

- G Green soap

Description

What I want to show is the beauty of a woman whit a disability. A relative close to me suffered an accident year ago and she lost both arms. Despite the negative facts she had to live, she decided to be closed to God and her family. You can be happy without arms because the most important thing in life is the love you give and receive.

The green soap symbolizes rusty cooper. The cooper is an excellent electricity conductor and it attracts rays. Rays have power and light, and the light symbolizes knowledge and wisdom. If you can see the head and the heart were made of cooper.

It was kind of difficult to sculpt this artwork. I have to imagine the body of a woman all the time in order to make a proportioned and scaled artwork. If you make a mistake, there is no possibility to go back because you can only subtract materials and not add them.

The painting consists of four males in quasi-Classical costumes. Three are playing some type of musical instrument or singing and the fourth is dressed as Cupid. The central figure is playing the lute and has been identified as Caravaggio's friend, Mario Minniti. The man facing the viewer is believed to has been a self-portrait of the artist. This painting is considered to be Caravaggio's most ambitious and complex composition. Critics claim that Caravaggio had difficulty painting the four figures separately, leaving on an overall clumsy effect. The painting is said to be in poor condition. And has been damaged by past restorations. Regardless of its condition, it remains one of Caravaggio's most popular pieces.

Fortune Teller

 Year 1594

 Oil on canvas

 Dimensions 115 cm x 150 cm

 Location Musei Capitolini, Rome

-dates from the period during which caravaggio had left the workshop of the Giuseppe Cesari to make his own way selling paintings through the dealer Costantino.

-Caravaggio's revolutionary impact on his contemporaries

- began with The Fortune Teller

- which served as replacing art with a representation of real life.

We picked the painting The Fortune Teller because it was a painting that served as a way of life for Caravaggio. He would sell this painting to make a living at the time being. It also tells a great story. The woman in the paint is a fortune teller and if you look into the painting you can see how the boy is staring into the gypsy woman eyes but fails to notice she is taking the ring off of his ringer. We found this to be amusing that Caravaggio can capture so many emations, thoughts, and stories onto canvas.

Narcissus

• Year : 1597-1599

• Oil on canvas

• Dimensions : 43 in x 36 in

• Location : Galleria Nazionale d´Arte Antica

• The attribution of this painting to Caravaggio has been discussed at length, and it is still questioned by some scholars.

• This is one of only two known Caravaggios on a theme from Classical mythology.

• The painting conveys an air of brooding melancholy.

• Caravaggio tested with this artwork the infinite possibilities of light and shadow.

The reasons we choose this artwork is because it represents his intensely emotional realism and dramatic use of lighting. The essence of his works was the realism instead idealistic figures. Narcissus combines the physical and psychological reality Caravaggio was trying to reach. We can also appreciate the chiaroscuro style; darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light.

Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, (29 September 1571 – 18 July 1610 Italian artist was born in Milan. Caravaggio was known for using dramatic lighting and emotional realism.During his life, Rome was constructing massive churches and palazzos as a result;paintings were needed for much of the decoration in these churches. Although famous were Caravaggio lived and at times infamous, memories of the painter faded quickly after the time of his death. In Caravaggio earlier days he was a troubled man in one incident that changed his life he wounded a police officer forcing himself to become a fugitive on the run. It was at that time he started to do menial work for a much respected painter Giuseppe Cesari. While working for Cesari, Caravaggio constructed some of his most inspirational work known as the Boy with a basket of fruit as well as basket of fruit. In 1599 Caravaggio got his biggest break ever in which he was contracted out to decorate the Contarelli Chapel. In that he gave two painting that were an instantaneous hit with the art community first the Calling of Saint Matthew and Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. Caravaggio received criticism from both sides of the spectrum on his paintings. Some called Caravaggio and artistic genius others striking him down saying that he shouldn’t have painted Saint Matthew in such ways. After that Caravaggio was a huge and world renowned painter going on to do great things in the world of art but his personal life is what got the best of him down the road. Caravaggio went back to his old habits again and started getting in to more and more quarrels and fights around town. On May 29 1606 Caravaggio unintentionally killed a man by the name of Ranuccio Tomassoni. Because of Caravaggio’s social stature he had friends that he believed he could rely on to pardon him for his wrong doings. Once again Caravaggio fled this time to Napels and then on to Malta where the Knights of Malta were located. Caravaggio knew the Knights one in particular Alof de Wignacourt the Grand Master whom he hoped to could help him become pardoned. But Wignacourt did not grant the pardon he instead made him a knight and Caravaggio had to prove otherwise why he deserved a pardon. After a few years of knighthood

Wignacourt granted him access to the one person Wignacourt knew that could pardon Caravaggio. Wignacourt gave him the name of a Cardinal Scipione Borghese. While on a boat ride to met Scipione it is to believe that Caravaggio came down with a fever and died on July 18 1610. The body of Caravaggio was never found. Researchers are have to had said that he died somewhere near present day Tuscany.
