Artist: Georges Seurat
Name of Piece: La Seine a la Grande-Jatte
Things I see...
- a sail boat near the beaches' horizon.
- a man kayaking / canoeing.
- an "arabian like" building in the backround.
- a hammock hanging off the tree.
- a bird perched in the tree.
- many shades that make up the water.
2. The painting was put together using dots of different colors used as a whole to show the shapes and object of this painting.
Lines...
Georges arranged the dots in straight lines, like the shore, buildings, and kayaker. He also threw in a few curved lines which add to the color change with the dots, like the sails on the sailboat, the curvature in the tree, and the grassy shoreline.
Color...
The colors Georges uses are mixes. The color of "blue" is in many shades for the reflexive look on the water, also he uses dots of green to add the deepness of the waters color.
-The colors are harmonious.
- I believe the man focal point of this painting is the emphasize the tree, and the beauty that comes with trees.
Shape...
Georges used many circles (dots) in his painting.
Space...
Georges painting has dimmension, it makes you feel like you are looking out into a ocean or lake.
Lighting...
The light is coming from the sun, the lighting is shown through the reflection on the water.
Composition...
He used many dots to make it look like he just stroked his brush across the page, and unless you look closely you would never know it was made from a billion tiny dots.
The mood I feel...
I feel happiness when I look at this painting, it reminds me of summer and my own boat. I love being on the river, and having the water and trees to look at with the suns reflection, its my favorite part of boating.
The Contributors...
Things contributing to the mood are the shades of the colors and how he makes it a fun and light picture to look at. He doesnt bring dark colors into it because that reminds one of "gloom & doom" the lightness of the painting sets off an easy going mood. Making you happier.
