Question

Choose one piece of Impressionist art and identify at least three elements or principles of art

Answer 1

The piece chosen is Poppy field by Claude Monet , three elements of art that are clearly represented in this piece are texture , color and lines

• TEXTURE- the textures in the piece are smooth and soft the paint brush Brussels was you could tell were very small and smooth,which made the big picture all blend together as one soft made art piece

• COLOR - the colors consist of mostly warm colors considering it is a poppy field , but the blue does make quite a unique contrast in in the piece the bright blue he used to portray the sky in the portrait is used so the whole thing didn’t blend together you have to have some type of contrast in order for the piece to be split apart as one .

• LINES- The lines used in this masterpiece all point back to one central focal point that the eyes are attracted to , during ones time such as Monet they used very brightly colored paints to express the selfs but very soft lines to make the piece come together it is truly a eye catcher
