Assignment#8Cubism & Pablo Picasso


Blue Period

http://pablo-picasso.paintings.name * What captures your eye about this image? What do you like about the image?
I really like how the lady is holding the baby in her arms. But it also seems to me like if the mom just caught her daughter having sex with her boyfriend. I think the colors really bring the picture to life because it's letting you know that there is something wrong with the picture.

* What visual elements (the basic things that can be seen)? What details are shown in the image? What do you see?

Looks like there is a couple standing there naked in front of another lady. The lady is holding the baby in her arms. The colors are really dark, sad and boring. On the very background there is another couple like hugging each other. It seems like they are in a room.

* What colors are used in this image? What type of emotions do the colors portray? Where are the specific colors located on the image that give off a specific emotion.

Blue and dark colors. Which make the picture really depressing and sad, upsetting. I believe the room gives a really depressed and sad color that makes everything pop out. Another symbol that I think was good was the lady with the black robe. It seems like she is the boss. For some reason I can feel her presence that is really strong and bossy. I really think she makes the whole picture stand out even more.

On the couple he used yellows and off whites. On the background he used dark colors and blues. Like if he had the blues. The lady holding the baby is wearing a black robe. The picture is really depressing and sad just looking at it. You can get all different emotions like feeling sad and depressing.

*What are the specific Elements of Art (Line, Color, Texture, Shape, Form, Size) is being shown in this image?

In my opinion I think color and texture has a lot to do with this image. This elements make the picture stand out and create a lot of feelings and emotions. Without the color the image would not be what it is. The background looks really depressing and sad.

*What are the specific Principles of Design (Center of Interest, Balance, Harmony, Contrast, Directional Movement, and Rhythm) are show in the image?

I believe it has center of interest because the main point has to do with the center of the picture. The main idea is the couple standing naked and the lady with the black robe holding the child in her hands. Its almost like if the couple some how got into trouble with the lady.

* How will this work of art influence your own Picasso Portrait? What specific Elements of Art and Principles of Design on this work will influence your own work?

This work will influence my portrait because it shows me I can show different emotions. That Picasso is all about showing texture, feelings, emotions and movement. Now I even think I got a good idea because I am going to show two different emotions on my work. I really think that color makes your portrait stand out more and help you give it emotion.
