This is a 2D acrylic painting. It is a naturalistic style as you can tell by looking at the variations of color in the background. The subject of the painting in set in the vintage, 1960's era. By the way the women is sitting with her elbows propped up against the table, one can interpret that this painting is trying to convey female empowerment. She is taking over in the dynamic between herself and the man she is sitting with at the table. Also, she isn't sitting perfectly, rather she is sort of slouching to one side and she has a drink and cigarette in hand.

Dog

This is an Oil Painting of a dog. It portrays a dog who looks older in his life and seems sad. The artist does a good job of focusing on the dog and leaving the negative part of the painting white and blurred out. Also the white background and white specs around the mouth makes me believe the dog is in the snow.  The artist also uses a primary collar in red for the collar which makes it stand out against the rest of the painting. The painting is naturalistic.

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is a very interesting piece of art, a totally man made tree with different animals carved into it. The ideas behind everything from the tree to the physical animals on it are naturalistic but the way everything is arranged around and is all over the actual trunk is totally abstract. The animals are popping out all over the place overlapping each other turning a very realistic view of a tree and conveying a whole new message. The idea of life and how trees are necessary to life is being shown through the carvings

Reporting of Form & Content: Adoration of the Magi

Adoration of the Magi by Filippino Lippi is an oil painting on panel (wood). A representation of the visitation of the three kings to the Christ child, Lippi used the primary colors in the garments of the main focus of Mary & Joseph in the Holy Family and the Magi. The Christ Child's garment is white, which symbolizes purity. The use of the white makes Him stand out while sitting on his Mother's lap. The primary colors were used against a dark, naturalistic wooden frame of possibly a barn,  in the background. The blue sky and landscaping are naturalistic, as well, and make this wooden structure stand out in contrast against the blue sky and green foliage.The faces on the main characters in the front show much love and devotion to this Child. The two characters to the right may be conversing about the Child, or from where they began their journey.
