Sandro Botticelli
"The birth Of Venus"
I think Sandro Botticelli communicated his painting of "the birth of venus" really well. He has used the colours to fit the occasion, nutral, natural, simple and pastel colours to make it look innocent which is probably what he was aiming for, becuase your not gonna make the birth of venus dark and gloomy, its a happy occasion, its new, sweet and innocent.

Hans Holbine

I am sure i have seen this before, i think it is pretty famous too with it being a portrait of henry the 8th. There is alot of detail put into this, like the patterns on his sleves and the detail in his face.

Marcus Harvey

I really like the idea of this how it looks pixelated but you canstill see what the image is. Im not sure who the image is of, it slightly looks like princess diana but i highly doubt it is. I dont know what tools he used to make this but its likely to be done with a paint brush obviously or a sponge and the paint is dabbed on.

Tang Yin

I love these sort of images. With the plain backgrounds or material backgrounds. It puts all the focus onto the image on the canvas and you understand what is happening in them more. The artist has done many paintings like this, and theyre all to do with his home town or heritage.

Paul Klee

I think this is supposed to be a town. Its very colourful but it hasnt used a wide range of colours, theyre all close together in the range. I think this makes it better, it looks like shading rather then loads of colours all placed together, that would complicate things and you wouldnt know where to look, this, i think, makes your eyes move from the bottom of the page upwards and take in the whole picture.

Francis Bacon

When looking through Francis bacons work i was drawn to this one straight away. Its very dark and slightly disturbing but it demands your attention because its just... so odd. But thats what makes it good, its different and you cant sus it out so you want to know more. It looks like it could have been done on photoshop because of the way the colours are overlapping and blending.

Joan Miro

This reminded me, at first glance, of a sort of bauhaus picture. With its simplicity and block colours and hard edges. However, it isnt like bauhaus because its not straight edges, its curvy and free.






Robert Rauchenrerg

I find it really funny how this is classed as fine art (well i hope it is) becuase its a load of mess, but a good mess. It has been made with material, it looks like a bed sheet or somthing along that line and maybe some cut up throw or covers and then paint spashed all over them. I would have this in my house, my own house, if i had one, my mum wouldnt like it.











Rogier Van Der Weyden
"Girl with the perl earring"

Im sure ive heard about this somewhere? or is there a book or a film called the girl with the perl earring? IM not sure. But i reconise the name so thats gotta mean somthing, it might be a famous peice? Just looking at it wouldnt surprise me if it was, its really good, not alot of fine detail but its striking.





Jenny Saville

I can remember mark showing the group this in a lesson once, i deffinatly iddnt forget about it. And im amazed at how big it is in real life, theres so much detail in it and clearly so much effort put into it to make it as big as it is. Its shocking, i would never have the patcience, the lack of being able to draw or paint is also a draw back. But i love it, i would have this in my house too, in a room all to its self, its amazing.
