Art Critique

The name of the artist is Alain Czaykowsky, he recreated a art piece called "Owl Picture" by Valtteri Laine. I don't think that "Owl Picture" is the name of the painting but it is what he has on schoology. 

I feel like the leaf is the part that sticks out the most in this painting because it is the only green color in the picture that just makes your eyes go there a couple times as soon as you look at it.

The wings on the Owl is what takes my eyes from side to side on the picture, their right in the middle and it is easy to see as soon as you see the picture.

The feeling I get when I look at this picture is that someone is always watching after us and not in a bad way. Just to have a Owl with its wings out will take you into a feeling of safety.

If I could give a name to this painting I think I would give it the title "Watchful Eye" because of the feeling of being safe, and the feeling that someone is always watching after you.

The colors were used wisely in this picture, from the outline of the owl to the sun in the sky the color represented different moods that would take the viewer to see the picture in different ways.

I think that the artist that recreated this art piece did it just because he saw something in the original art piece that had drown him to want to recreate it. Overall I think that the picture was very well done. For a art piece that used technique I think that the art piece looks great!

Recreating Art project artist statement

The picture that I drew was Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Vincent van Gogh was a painter that painted because it was his life, he couldn't imagine a world without pictures or anything like that. Starry Night was a picture that showed a big tree with a small town and stars. Vincent died for his love of art. The painting is still famous today.
I picked this picture to recreate because it was something that I could work with. The painting is a picture that won't be forgotten. Many artist try to take things/techniques from the painting. I also felt like the color in the picture has a meaning that could be used for quite something so I was able to put some of that to my advantage. The painting was something that I was able to use. When I was making the painting I originally thought that using color pencils and paint. I had changed my mind and used just color pencils because of the detail that I had put in. I had drawn everything first to get some detail in. I was looking for more darker colors to go along with the picture but I could only fine light ones, I then just went along with the light ones. This is how I created my re-creation picture.
