Art Critique

My art critique is on Camron Rockwell's recreation of Starry Night. He is only halfway done. The thing that stands out to me the most is the sun. It sticks out because of its bright yellow color. The blue sky leads my eye from place to place.   I think that this artwork might represent weary or loneliness. If I could name the artwork, I would name it Dark Fumes. Colors were used to show off different parts of the artwork. The bright colors signify happiness, while the dark colors signify mystery. I think he chose this artwork because it is a well-known artwork and it is a masterpiece. I think it is a terrific recreation and will be very good when/if he finishes.

Le Premier Disque by Robert Delaunay

    I chose to recreate Le Premier Disque by Robert Delauney. The artwork is a prime example of abstract work. He used different colors to create a darker color theme. Robert Delaunay is a French artist. He is known for using strong colors wanted to create this project because it seemed simple. 

      When I started the project, I wanted to use a lot of different colors from the original art piece. The idea is that a person is lost/confused in a world of color all around him. I've also seen some other artworks of Delaunay's and thought it would be fun to recreate one of his. I also wanted to do it because it is simple. It took me faster than expected to finish it.

     I started off with 6 project sketches. I mixed in different ideas from the project sketches and came up with the painting inside of my head. I used a canvas and started drawing the circle using a pencil. I also used acrylic to paint the circle and the background. I finished it off with 2 areas for each color on the background.

1. I chose to recreate this artwork because it is simple and fun to create. I wanted to symbolize being lost in a world of color.

2. Confusion, happiness, and chaos. I changed the colors because I felt like the original ones were too boring.

3. Complimentary

4. Materials and style. I changed these because the original was too boring and dreary. I wanted to add more life and joy to the artwork.
