UK Art Museum: Visual Essay

Hello, everyone! Today, I'm going to be posting a visual essay of the UK Art Museum at the Singletary Center. Along with each image, I'll give a brief description of how light and color are used/effected. In all there will be ten images.

Image 1 (top right): The light from above effects the colors of the bibles and makes them appear to be more vibrant and rich. An overall balance and harmony is shown throughout the composition of the image.

Image 2 (top left): Contrast is very prominent in this image because of the white wall in comparison to the black picture frames, as well as the contrast between each image in every frame.
Image 3 (second right): Line is the strongest element within this image as shown by the doors and shelves of the cabinet. Some color and contrast are shown through the jars inside and the shadows in comparison to the barren white color of the paint.
Image 4 (second left): Richness of color and visible contrast are very strong in this image. Texture is also prominent in the wood-grain of the steps leading up to the second floor. The color richness is a result of the lighting.

Image 5 (third right): Lighting and unity are important factors in this image. The lighting is very bright and show that the area behind the art sculpture is very open. Unity is shown through the movement that the art piece gives off.

Image 6 (third left): Line and lighting play a huge part in this image. Line is shown through the arrangement of the walls and the cages filled with random items, and the lights are being shown from above and allow the room to feel very open as well as large. Colors are visible through the items in the cages.
Image 7 (fourth right): This image contains a lot of rich colors. Seeing it in person, the colors appeared to be very dark and intense based on the lighting in the area, so it's nice to see these colors fulfilled within the image.

Image 8 (fourth left): Overall contrast is shown throughout this image, not only with the wall in comparison to the painting, but also within the painting itself. The color choices almost give me the sense of a monochromatic scheme.

Image 9 (bottom right): The main elements of this image are movement and texture. The metal pieces used in the sculpture are arranged in a manner that appears to give off movement while also seeming to have some kind of feeling to it.

Image 10 (bottom left): Line, movement, and contrast are important in this image. The arrangement of the metal of the cages creates a diamond pattern as well as the feeling of movement. Along with that, contrast is shown through light colors of the lighter colors of the contents in the cage in the foreground of the image versus the darker contents of the cage in the background.
