String

String project is a fun activity to experience the line dimension. We often interpret that line is a form traced on the surface. In this String project, I realized that the line can create the space amazingly into an art.
There was some painful positions we have to get through the negative space of strings. In the end, we all entangled in strings of untangling it.

Titian's Venus of Urbino

Describe:
The woman is the center of this painting.The image of her leaning elegantly on the bed formed a triangle shape.Line above her left hand divided the background vertically into two themes.
The black background on the left side made her stands out like a portrait painting.On the other side, viewers can easily distinguish woman from room clearly.

Interpret:
Tone of this piece is tranquil. The use of color of whole piece is warm.
Woman is Venus who had the attractive face and plump figure and she looked fascinated straightly to viewers.
Her two servants were busy on back preparing the cloth for her.
Sleeping dog also created a peaceful relaxing mood.

Evaluate:
I think it is a great piece illustrated Venus’s character beautifully.
Venus is the main focus of the painting; the white quilt also implied her purity.
