Artwork Categories (50pts):

1. Formal qualities: enumerate the elements that you see – quality of lines, shapes,
colors, etc.

The element I use is same elements in Arturo’s artwork, the minimalist


(thin and bold line), geometric (parallel, circle and triangle shapes) and abstract styles of
art (cubism) but I put a watercolor to make it alive and can be an escape to a place to call
it my own artwork.
I got the idea of Arturo Luz's painting "The Street Musician" but I paint "The
Dancer." The elements were simple minimalist (thin and bold line), geometric (parallel,
circular, and triangular shapes) and abstract art styles (Cubism) and his animated
paintings of circus performers and musicians as well as the revered cityscape series. The
artwork was a grey performance.
The element I use is the same as in Arturo artwork, minimalism (thin and bold
line), geometric (parallel, circular and triangular shapes) and abstract (cubist) art styles
but I place a watercolor to bring it to life and it escape to a place to call it my own
artwork.

2. Subject matter: What is the artist tackling about? Can you see any representational
forms (non-abstract)? If none, what do you think is the main subject matter?

The artist is tackling about street musicians. Most in the older age group with
lower levels of education chose to be street musicians due to economic necessities and
employment restrictions. Others are in the younger age group with a long-standing love
of music chose to undertake street music because they believed this might be a path to
mainstream work as a street musician.
My art tackles about dance because it given me the chance to find myself,
allowing me to breathe and hear what my body has to say to me. I have found so much
freedom within myself and even though my mind is mess, when the music starts playing,
I start dancing, there is nothing else that comes through my head than dance.
It is an abstract art includes the subcategories of Minimalism, and Cubism. It
forms of emphasizing lines, shapes, or colors that transform the subject because the work
depicts from the real world.

The art I pain is about dancer because it gave me the opportunity to find myself,
allowing me to breathe and hear what my body was telling me. I have found a great deal
of freedom in me, and though my mind is a mess, when the music starts playing, I start
dancing, there is nothing else that comes to my mind but dancing.

3. Composition: Consider the arrangement of objects, people or elements. What is


most prominent? Who or what is on the foreground, middle ground and
background?

Most prominent in Arturo’s artwork are font, shape, texture, shape, space, color,
and value, the additions of mark making, and materiality. In the foreground a man stands
holding a musical instrument, the middle ground is the stage, and the background is only
a dark color. For example, red and black.
The prominent in my artwork are line, shape, texture, shape, space, color and
value. In the foreground is a person dancing, middle ground is the stage and the
background is watercolor.

4. Technique: Looking at the technique and manner of painting and composition,


how is it related to the artist’s objective?

Arturo Luz objectives is unity, simplicity and clarity. His styles and techniques in
varying degrees of abstraction to create playful geometric figures and forms. His work
shows clarity of intention and clarity in execution. He looks for the relationship of space,
color, line, form and tone, of relationship between substance and form.

5. Content: What do you think the artwork is all about after carefully examining its
parts? What story, what message, and what argument is the artist trying to tell?

For me, while examining its parts, the artwork was all about finding freedom.
When I observe Arturo Luz's painting 'The Street Musician', it seems that humans are free
to express and show their talents which is why my paintings is a dancer because it’s not
only musicians are allowed to show their talents in public but also dancers. There is a lot
of talent that not everyone knows about yet. The artist's argument trying to tell us that his
painting represents something about you and that it is your freedom, the thing that you
hide and you can't show off.
