Color & Value Research Planning

 GEORGES SEURAT - EDEN CONCERT
 EDWARD HOPPER - GIRL AT SEWING MACHINE
 LEONARDO DE VINCI - STUDY OF HORSES
JOHN SINGER SARGENT - WOMAN IN TURQOISE

2. Compare and contrast how color is used in the two paintings. How does the use of color communicate the concept of the work of art?

COMPARING AND CONTRASTING: both of one subject (a woman), one watercolor, one in acrylic or oil, one has reds and warm colors except green (reminds me of sunrise), representing time (morning)? darker reds though as though putting a mood of sadness. The other has cool colors, blues and turquoises and purple, and yellow. Has a sense of youth and innocence. playful fun colors. the way the dress is painted in shapes and an almost 3d effect. The first one has a prominent background and the other is focused on the girl. There are not a lot of contrasting colors in the painting but they both contrast each other a lot. 


3. Compare and contrast how value is used in the two drawings. How does the use of value communicate the concept of the work of art?

The first one of the Horse is very lightly sketched and then goes into greater detail.  It has a very light back ground compared to the other one which is very dark. The other one has very dark colors and not as detailed.
