Unit 6 - Light and Shade in Medieval and Renai



Okay so the first picture post I decided is called Hat by none other than Elizabeth Murray. When reading Unit 6 visual art terms I came across her work in a fascinating picture with a window, rain and lots of life and color. Her work is definitely art that I can appreciate because of its uniqueness with how see does not stay flat but rather curves and moves into space allowing for a depth dimension. I really enjoy trying to analyze and interpret her artwork as well as the colors she uses just like in the art piece above.
The second picture I had to choose was of course, The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinvi. Is there a greater painting than this out there? Maybe, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but either way this definitely ranks as one of the most illustrious painting known to man because of both the artist and the significance of the painting. You can ver yeasily see the use of light and shade in this picture with shadows and shade along side both ends of the painting and the light attribution in the middle of the painting with the open what I would call doorway and two windows on the back wall in the background. One of my favorites because I have seen it everywhere since I was a little boy.
