Homework 1

In the painting by Van gough and Morandi two completely different styles were used to crate eqaually successful results. Vangough uses bright hues and warm colors to make the images in his paintigs pop. This was a good choice because his subject matter is living and the lively colors mak it look more.. alive. In the painitng witht the flowers Van Gough also uses complementary colors to draw the eye to the plant. He also uses many colors in the petals of his flowers adding depth to the painting. These colors also evoke warma and cozy feeling to the viewer.
The painting by Morandi uses many shades of white in his paintings. Though white can be looked at as a boring and bland color if you look closely you can see the warmer and cooler tones revealing more colors than just plain white. This was also a good chice beacause the subject matter is inamimate. The colors give off a isolated and silent mood adding intrest to the painting.
