esther's Art: homework

I enjoyed looking through the different types of art, a lot of them were similar but they had some different aspect to them like brighter colors in contrast to lighter more earth tone colors. I chose the first picture because its show something happening in real life it has nice light colors and you see how the color goes from light to dark. The second one has light colors but they are used so well throughout the painting, the painter made the colors look intense, and they divided their canvas into two different painting but made them look like they were meant to go together. For the third one Rex Ray's art pice I love the use of shapes, he has so many shapes in his piece and when they are all put together in make an illusion for some reason when I look at it i think of a carnival or theme park. The fourth piece is very interesting it is divided into four different parts but they all seem to go together well there is a lot of open space and the person who painted this said they had the open space to show how simple Japanese art could be. The last piece by Erik Otto is very nice it looks like it all totally came from the person's imagination they are divided into different parts but they all come together somehow which is awesome, and something I would like to do with my piece.
