Blog Post for X block
My favorite thing about today's lesson with charcoal was seeing the kids position in which they were standing. I also enjoyed to see the outcome of my charcoal drawing and what is was going to look like in the end. Something I did not like was the mess it made in my finger nails and all over my hands. Something I thought was cool was you could change the picture and make into something totally different by adding and crossing over objects. The idea of never letting your charcoal off the paper was really cool because you could never predict what was going to happen to you sketch of your person.

Nighthawks
Elise Benson
Nighthawks
Art History #1
In the painting NIghthawks, the American painter Edward Hopper as many designs going on. There is two building separated by a road in between. The building in the front you can see through into a clear window. The front building is called the Phillie's. The name is locaed on top of the first story. The building behind you can see the first floor and nothing inside of it. You can see the door and windows and that is pretty much it. Both building are old and brown. Both buildings have windows. It looks like in the building behind has approximately symmetrical splitting the door. In the first building there is one female and three mens getting fed around a large brown table talking. In the room there is a yellow door to lead the way out of the room. The women and man look like they are together and they are getting there order taken from the man. There is another man by himself three seats away from the couple. Both men that were there were in suits and top hats. The women was dressed in a shirt red with long red hair. Everything look empty, the streets, the restaurant. The street that was in-between the two restaurants were empty and blank.
The mood of the painting makes me feel sad. It sad because its dark, gloomy, and not much is going on. The streets are empty and not full of joy. Both building were dark and unused. The people in the restaurant looked drowsy and not full of excitement. The name of the restaurant looks like a rich man owns it and it appears that he is not a happy person. The colors in the picture are mostly light brown, dark brown, gray, and black which puts someone emotions down. Overall the painting makes me feel like I do want to be there and it does not seem fun.
The terms of art principle for balance are very well distributed. Balance is the visual "weight" of an artwork feels equally distributed. There is four different types of balance they include SYMMETRY,APPROXIMATELY SYMMETRICAL, ASYMMETRY, and RADIAL. In the painting for Nighthawk there is all of those types of balance in the pciture. The painting also projects and included the principles of Design which are balance emphasis rhythm. (movement, proportion, unity-the feeling)
