Romantic Era

             Imperialism vs Post Imperialism

Imperialism



This is Pont Boieldieu in Rouen, Rainy Weather by Camille Pissarro. Pissarro created this artwork based on what could be seen from the window in the hotel. Pissarro had to stay indoors during the colder months due to some health issues so he took to making artwork based on what he could see from his hotel room window. I really like this painting compared to the painting by Monet because it is a lot clearer. The painting by Monet looks like it a painting done during a really foggy day and it is harder to see what is portraited in the painting done by Monet. I also really like how Pissarro put a lot of detail into his painting to make his painting look realistic.   
This painting is Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet. Monet was born in Paris, France but he moved to the beaches in Normandy which sparked his passion for painting what he saw in the ocean. This painting is what he saw from his window one morning. He uses brushstrokes to create the shadow of the ship through the thick fog. I personally do not love this painting because it is really hard to make out what is in the background of the painting. 

Post Imperialism


This painting is Bouquet of Sunflowers by Claude Monet. This painting is an oil on canvas painting that was created in 1881. I really like how Monet put the bouquet on a red tablecloth so that the bouquet of flowers would stand out more. 


This painting is Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh. Van Gough created this oil on canvas painting in January of 1889. Van Gough has created five different paintings of sunflowers. I like both of the paintings of the sunflowers but I think I like the painting by van Gogh a little bit better because it stands out a little bit more. I really like how van Gogh put the sunflowers in front of the blue wall because it makes the sunflowers and vase stand out more.

The Impact of WWII on the Mid Modern Era Hitting the Beach  by Tom Lee Painted in 1944 Location: Depiction of Peleliu The Price by Tom Lee Painted in 1944 Location: Depiction of  Peleliu   Tom Lea was a war correspondent for Life Magazine. He originally went to school at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1940 he took a job at Life Magazine and covered the war from 1941-1946. He would be put in places where he had a direct view of what the war looked like then he would paint what he saw. Some of his paintings are even hung in the Pentagon to be used as a reminder of how awful war is.                                                                         Elements Two concepts that are greatly used in these paintings are color and contrast. Tom uses a lot of greens and darker colors to show how the bad the conditions were at that time. In The Price  the red is the first thing that you see when you look at the painting. He also uses curves and lines to make the paintings look as if the peo

Non-Western Blog    The Edo Period (1603-1867) was the final era of the traditional Japanese Government. Tokugawa Ieyasu used shoguns for over 250 to establish peace in Japan. This also helped a new merchant class to form and urbanization to flourish.   This woodblock print is  Under the Wave of Kanagawa  by   Katsushika Hokusai. This woodblock print shows Mount Fuji as the mountain shown behind the waves. I really liked the different shades of blue that were used in the waves to give the woodblock print dimension. This woodblock print also shows a terrible scene as we see boats that are about to get crushed by the wave. Even with the terrible scene that is shown in this woodblock print I still think that this is beautiful.  This painting is  Rough Waves  by Ogata Kōrin. Many artist have tried to paint these waves and capture the unique image that swelling waves have. Kōrin has one of the best paintings of swelling waves. He was able to capture the tips of the waves that look like foam

 Hello! My name is Claire Montague and I am a sophomore at UAF working towards a degree in Elementary Education. I have always had the desire to be a teacher and be able to teach young children and watch them learn and grow. I have recently started a job as a Pre-K teacher at one of the childcare centers in my area and I really enjoy being able to watch my kids learn new things.  I have lived in Alaska for the past 9 years, but have also lived in North Carolina, Hawaii, and Germany.  I have learned to love Alaska even though its way colder than I would like in the winter. My favorite things to do is going camping in my parents RV, spending time with family and friends, and baking.  I am not a artist, but I do enjoy looking at art. My brother and grandparents are really good at art and I love to look at all of the paintings, and sculptures that they make. I also really like to go to art museums and look at all the different kinds of art that they have on display. One of the art museums
