Ragel Bit-Uniformi
Man in Uniform

Artist :Vincent Apap

I found the detail the artist managed to achieved is amazing I love the medals and badges on the uniform I really line the colour of the bust.

Artist: George Borg

This is much simpler then the one above I like the cleanness to it, the realistic bow amazing and the details of the man's face is beautifully done.



Tifla Bibtissem
Smiling Girl

Artist: Antonio Sciortino

This bust has a softer feel to it very appropriate to the fact that subject is a girl,
this is my least favourite of the 4 I think its because of the lack of embellishment




Ufficjal Mediku

This bust has a sense of seriousness and to the point I really like the uniform



This exhibition showed me that busts can really send a message to the viewers and that I should try more realistic things in stone workshop.

Playing the Right Notes

In this painting we see line,colour,tone and shape; from the outlines and details with in the dress and objects in the painted we see tone in choice of colour.

I like the choice of colour and the serenity they painting gives.


Escape to Egypt
oil on canvas 39x49

line,shape and colour have a strong role in this painting; shape in background and details  of the women .
I very much like the style in witch they characters are painted, I find the background simple yet taste full.


The Tunes of Joesph
oil on canvas 29x39
colour, line, shape and texture; the artist added a design witch gives the painting a textured feel.
The texture makes the painting a bit oriental witch i like, the characters are cool and modern.


Make her Spirit Fly

line, shape, colour, tone; line in background, shape is visible everywhere with in the background details and characters.

This is my favourite of all I have picked I like the patters the artist created as details and accessories .


This exhibition made me realize that a textured canvas can make a big difference, and that animal characters make your painting much more cheerful.

Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau could be described with the elements of Flowing lines, Violent Curves and Organic subjects.

Art nouveau is graceful, sinuous lines hardly ever angular ,so artists explain the curves in Art Nouveau almost like whiplash curves Repetitive patterns and curvy lines are characteristics of this art style These curves usually construct an image, can be anything from flowing plains, hardware, humans or furniture.                                    

 In this art movement you will find an over whelming amount of flowers, leaves, vines, insects and plenty of other organic objects

Instead of classic gemstones during the period of Art Nouveau jewellers opted to work with opals and semiprecious stones moving away from the ordinary. Glass art became bigger and better and gained popularity as more artists became interested in Art Nouveau, Moulded glass, animal horns and ivory tusks became commonly used materials.

Gustav Klimt

Klimt was an Austrian painter born in 1887-1986 who is considered the embodiment of Art Nouveau, was founder of the ‘Vienna Secession’ school of painting.

Klimt’s work was not really accepted in his time, his art was very contradictory to what was being portrayed at that time. The art that Klimt brought to the table was erotic was sexual and he liked to mix the extreme opposites, example ecstasy and terror, life and death, austerity and pleasure.

One of Klimt’s important painting would be The Kiss part of the ‘golden phase’, the man’s robe subjects the sexual aspect of this painting , The Kiss had won over the public, after considerable criticism over his work

The three ages of women is an example of life and death opposites, in one painting.

Although it’s flat there is a feeling of movement in the painting the beauty of the women on the right show softness while the older woman on the left shows darkness and to add to that point her face is covered almost like he was trying to fade her off from the painting and away from the other women

Klimt's style was inspired by classical Greek, Byzantine, Egyptian, and Minoan art; late-medieval painting and photography

Klimt influenced a lot of artists before the pundits even knew who Klimt even was

We see a lot of work that has clearly been inspired from his work even modern replicas of his work

Victorian Fashion Then and Now

 

It is clear to see that the image on the left is a modern take on the traditional Victorian wear seen on the right, the artist of these ensembles is Dandies and Quaintrelles, artists that create their own spin on tradition clothing and scene

As to the norm we see Victorian fashion with the netted behind this artist removed it completely making a more sensual design, as to the button up shirts the designer minimized it and made the cleavage/ decolletage area open, the designer mimicked the ruffles found on the collar with a neck piece of fabric , the ruffles in the skirts themselves have been translated into layers on the bottom of the new design shirt.
