Gallery Visit
I went to the Lafontsee Gallery located
on Lake Drive. I really liked that gallery and I would have never found out
about it if it wasn’t for this assignment, so I’m glad I went. There were so
many cool things there so it was kind of hard to pick from all of them. The one I decided to use
for this assignment was a set of three drawings by the artist Jean Allemeier
Boot. The name of the pieces of art is Woodland Poem III, IV, and V.
The first one is of a tree with no leaves.
It is position on the right side of the paper. It looks like the top of the
tree is cut off as well as the bottom of the tree, which gives the impression
that the tree is very tall. Different sizes of branches are coming off of the
wide trunk. The art piece is in black and white and it looks sort of fading.
The second drawing is of two trees close
to each other. They are almost position towards the center of the paper. The
second tree is slightly bending. The trees have some leaves. Again the drawing
is in black and white with a little bit darker spots than the first one. The
third drawing is of several trees. These trees have more leaves and appears
that the viewer is standing a little bit further away from them to be able to
see the trees from top to bottom. There is more contrast in this drawing giving
it more definition. The technique used by the artist was etching. I think the
artist wanted to show the transition from winter to spring as having one tree
first with no leaves at all and then adding more details in the other two
drawings. These drawings appear to be simple but I feel like having them in
black and white allows the viewer to focus more on the shape and form of the
trees. This is why I picked these drawings because I love how the trees are
able to stand out against the background. I used this as an inspiration to take
pictures of trees that were well defined and visible against the sky.
Good post. This is my blog by illustrations. Welcome. Brobas
