MoMA Artwork


                                                                     Black In Place

Artist's name: Susan Rothenberg 
Date: 1976 
Medium used: Synthetic polymer paint and tempera on canvas.
Dimensions: 68 1/4" x 7' 1 1/2" (174 x 217.2 cm) 
I like her style of artwork because I find this artwork very comforting to look at. The colours work well with each other and create the feeling of safety. I think that the horse having no expression adds to the artwork and the horse. I like the sketchy rough kind of look and how the paint looks rough to create the feeling of texture. 



Black Beast II 
Date: 1957
Medium used: Painted on sheet steel 
Dimensions: 8' 9'' x 11' x 6' 5'' (266.7 x 335.3 x 195.6 cm) 
I really like this artwork because it so interesting to look at. I like how the creature is very mysterious and looks to be unpredictable. I really like the background it looks very foggy and clouded, you don't really know what out there. I like the sharp edges on the creature it create a really interesting effect of danger. I like that you can't really tell what this shape or creature really is, it creates a lot of visual interest for the viewer. 


Study of a Baboon
Artist's name: Francis Bacon
Date: 1953
Medium used: Oil on canvas
Dimension: 6' 6 1/8'' x 54 1/8'' (198.3 x 137.3 cm) This painting is really cool to look at because of how detailed the baboon really is, it looks like the artist put a lot of effort in creating this animal. The large fence creates a feeling of industrialism, it creates the feeling of human society and how human's keep animals in captivity. I love how the artist created the tall grass it looks like its swaying in the wind. I like how the baboon stands out from everything else the colurs work really well with each other.

Carrot Trouble

                                         
This was a short stop-motion Anikka, Sabrina and myself created. We showed teamwork in our short flim using clay figures. The story starts off with are main charater the the red and yellow eared creature plants a carrot seed in his local garden. 2 days later he decides to go check to see how his carrots doing. He than try's to pull his giant prize out from the ground but finds that he is unable to do it alone, so he call's out for help. Four other clay characters help out their new friend by helping him pull out the giant carrot. When the five clay charters finally pull it out the carrot the each break off a yummy part of the giant carrot one for each clay figure. The munch the carrot as they walk together out of the garden and return each hand in hand and let out a big YAY for all their hard work!!
