final versions

Impressionism:

Research paragraph: The impressionist movement began in 1860 in France and is characterized by the emphasized visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of light and color. Some of the founders of impressionism include Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet. Claude Monet was a very important figure because his painting, Impression, Sunrise, was actually what impressionism was named after. Some distinct visual characteristics of impressionism include light colors, soft and visible brush strokes, unblended colors, depiction of light, and unusual visual angles. All of these characteristics add to the “in the moment” style of impressionist painters. They were so inspired by this style that they began to paint outdoors to be able to capture the effects and angle of the light and capture the atmosphere at the time. The main ideas relate to how the painting was made, as a lot of them relate to the optical effects of light and to convey the nature of the present moment. Also, many emotions expressed are calm ones, as the paintings are very casual.

Claude Monet. Impression, Sunrise. 1872. (also. reference image)

AI generated image

prompt: a painting that seems a little blurry with a water scene with three water Lillies on the water and a small sun, with unblended colors, loose, small, short and visible brush strokes, light and bright colors, oil paints, and a depiction of light and painted in the moment and outdoors

Analysis: The AI I used to generate the photo on the right was Chat GPT. At first I used the image generator in photoshop, but it didn’t give the brush strokes and the overall feeling that I had wanted the painting to convey. The AI captured really well the depiction of light from the sun reflecting on the water, and the unblended colors that give the painting the impressionist look. Chat GPT also gave an image with brush strokes that were very similar to impressionist paintings, like the one on the top by Monet. The short, smooth, and visible brush strokes really give the AI generated painting a key impressionist characteristic that gives it those important and defining looks of impressionism. However, I think the brush strokes could have been a little bit smaller because in the image on the bottom, the brush strokes are really visible, while on the left, you would have to look closely at the painting to see all of those individual brush strokes. I was also a little bit surprised by the color choice of the painting that chat GPT generated. I thought the colors would be a bit more muted and neutral rather than the bolder colors in the AI generated painting. Overall, I was content with the image that was generated.

Pop Art:

Research paragraph: Pop art started in the mid to late 1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. Some key artists today are Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein. Artists who shaped the movement include Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton in Britain, and Larry Rivers, Ray Johnson, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns among others in the United States. Some distinct visual characteristics include irony, satire, repetition, bold colors, bright colors, pop culture influence, playful imagery and techniques. Together these help convey the main ideas of the art being based on the use of images of popular culture, such as advertising or comics, in art to emphasize the kitschy elements of a culture through irony. Because of this, pop art presented a challenge to fine art by including these images. 

Andy Warhol. Marilyn Monroe. 1967 (also reference image)

AI generated image

prompt: a painting pop culture influenced of a tiger using bold and bright colors, with playful imagery and techniques

Analysis: I thought the prompt I gave the AI generator in photoshop was a fairly simple prompt, but the AI output was exactly what I wanted. I think it captures the image I had in my head really well and it uses a lot of the bright and bold colors that pop art usually has. I think the position and composition of the tiger that is wrapped in color is very convincing as pop art. It also uses the bright colors along with playful imagery to give this painting some of the defining characteristics of pop art. Even though the two paintings might not look so similar from afar, when you look at them more closely, they are more similar than one would think. They both use bright and bold pinks, yellows, oranges, blues, which I think are common colors in pop art, and both paintings use very playful images, and are both pop culture references. Marilyn Monroe is a major and pretty obvious pop culture reference, but also the tiger could be one, as tigers are in many paintings and movies that could possibly be referenced in the painting. I think a detail that is missing is the kind of comic book look to it like the Marilyn Monroe’s, but I think this smooth look works as well, but it’s just not the same kind of pop art as the Marilyn Monroe painting.

Modernism Art:

Research paragraph: Modernism started in the early 20th century, and it was a broad cultural movement in the United States and England. Some key artists involved include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne, and Edouard Manet. The roots of modernism are traced back to Manet because he was the one who first broke from tradition and experimented by depicting scenes of modern life and mimicked the real world by using a different perspective. Some distinct visual characteristics include experimentation on line and color, use of geometric shapes, abstractness, distorted perspectives, and unconventional lines, shapes, colors, and themes. All of these characteristics work together to convey emotion and a new perspective depicting normal life.

Fernand Leger. Mechanical Elements. 1967 (also reference image)

AI generated image

prompt: a painting depicting normal life with geometric shapes, abstract distorted perspectives, and unconventional lines, shapes, colors, and themes with bold vibrant colors and oil paints 

Analysis: For this AI generated image, I used photoshop. I think the two images are pretty similar. They both have abstract shapes and give off a similar feeling. I think the AI image generator in photoshop did a good job putting together an image with geometric shapes that depicts normal life. I also think it did a good job incorporating key characteristics of modernism, like distorted perspectives and unconventional lines, as there are both in the image. I think those two key characteristics really help to depict this image as a modernist painting. However, the AI generated image seems to have a brighter pop of color compared to the other one, but when I was researching modernist art, the descriptions of modernist paintings included that it had both bold and bright colors, so it could have just been the artist’s choice. The abstract and unconventional lines and shapes are very convincing in giving the painting that modernist look. It took a bunch of tries to get the prompt exactly how I wanted it, and for photoshop to produce an image that I thought looked like a modernist painting.

I finished constructing the panels into a box and let it dry

Tue, Sept 23 HW – Image and description of completed homework – HWDueDate 2025-9-23

for homework I sketched the 4 panels I am going to make. I decided to do the holiday theme because I liked it more than the other ones.

  • For the first panel I drew a christmas tree with presents underneath it
  • for the second one I drew a moon with ghosts in front of it and a jack o lantern underneath it
  • for the third I drew a turkey on someones head with maple tree leaves falling from the sky
  • for the last panel I drew a wreath with flowers on it and an easter bunny

Week 2

Sat, Sept 20 CW – Image and description of completed homework. – CWDueDate 2025-9-20

Since I wasn’t in class today, for homework, I drew some sketches of what I thought my panels could look like.

  • For fall I thought the light could shine behind the girl and the leaves highlighting them
  • For winter I would do the same, have the light shine behind the snowflakes and the girl playing ice hockey
  • For spring I would focus it behind the tree to highlight that as the centerpiece
  • For summer I would had it nine between the mountains like a sunset

I also drew 4 panels for the holiday theme

  • for christmas the light would shine behind the tree to highlight it
  • for halloween it would be in the background to highlight the moon and jack o lanters
  • for thanksgiving it would light up the background
  • for easter it would be in the background with the sun

Sat, Sept 20 HW – Image and description of completed homework – HWDueDate 2025-9-20

For the luminary design project, the themes I am thinking about doing are seasons, sports, and holidays.

holidays:

  • Christmas: Christmas tree with ornaments
  • halloween: pumpkins and ghosts and candies
  • thanksgiving: pumpkins, turkey, and leaves falling from the sky
  • easter: a bunny and candy and a cross

seasons

  • fall: someone playing field hockey and dribbling the ball upfield and there could be leaves falling from a tree hanging overhead
  • winter: someone ice skating and shooting a puck into a net with snow falling from the sky
  • spring: there could be some trees with flowers blossoming on them and a bird flying in the sky or a bunny in the grass
  • summer: a lake with mountains in the background. I would want this panel to be like the scenery from my vacation to Europe this past year maybe some hiking or biking scenery too

sports:

  • Ice hockey could be for two panels. 1 of them could be the Pittsburgh penguins logo which is my favorite professional ice hockey team. The other could be the Lawrenceville L with a hockey stick in the background and maybe my number.
  • Field hockey could be another panel with someone dribbling the ball
  • The last one could be like a jersey with my last name and number.

I still haven’t fully decided, but I think I am going to go with the seasons
