In 2015, James Welling photographed sites around Chadds ford and took digital samples found in the photographs and put them into a digital file using gradient mapping. The figure of this artwork is rectangular shape and it has an analogous harmony. I really like this artwork because it looks cool combined with the river, trees and plants around it.




The painting of, The Canadian Mounted Police on a "Musical Ride" "Charge!", was done by New York-born Frederic Remington in 1887. The focal point of this painting is the policemen that are lined up.  The policemen also look like they are in kinetic state, which is something in motion. This is a restricted palette artwork because, it is limited to a few pigments and mixtures. In my opinion the painting would be more appealing if it is in color. The value, the relative darkness of hue or of neutral varying from black to white can also be used to describe this painting.




This portrait is made by Gilbert Stuart in mid 1780's. It is the portrait of Robert Hare, Sr. and his daughter Martha.  Robert Hare was a Philadelphia businessman, politician and speaker of the Pennsylvania Senate.The design of this picture is really cool, it is an oil paint on canvas. This painting is an open palette because, any color is permitted as you can see. I  really like this portrait because of the coloring and the visual weight, which is the apparent heaviness and lightness of the forms. In this cause the visual weight is heavy and because it get my attention when i looked at the picture.


Bowie Knife, Keyed Bugie and Canteen, 1890s by John F. Peto, is a representational art which consists different objects such as Bowie knife, Keyed Bugie and a Canteen. The form, which the work of art looks like is the different objects the artist used. It is tromp l'oeil artwork, which the objects look real. The emphasis of the painting, which is the viewer's attention that would be centered on is on the Bowie Knife, Keyed Bugie and Canteen. The objects look like they are very important and used for survival. I didn't really like this artwork because, i couldn't understand the meaning behind this painting and it is a subordination which is a less visually interesting area.











          The Hunter's Equipment ( The Hunter's Yellow Jacket), 1891 by George Cope is another great artwork that's located in Brandywine River Museum. This image is a representational art which shows the hunting equipment of a hunter. The art work is a trompe l'oeil art because the image looks realistic. It has a monochromatic color in which brown is a dominant color in the art work. The balance in this painting an asymmetrical balance because of the image is cut in two sides, it is not identical. I really like this painting because, it is a great painting, it shows what the picture is representing. Even though i don't enjoy hunting, the equipment looks pretty neat. 


The first art work that caught my eye was, The Nation Makers, a, 1902 by Howard Pyle. The Nation Makers represents the artist's view of the battle of Brandywine during the American Revolution. The content of the image has a a line of soldiers in which most of them are holding weapons with a tattered clothing marching forward through a field of grass. The solider holding the flag has caught my eye as soon as i looked at the image, the solider holding the flag is the focal point of the image. The composition of the image has green and white as dominant colors.I like this art work because it tells a story and shows no matter how bad your past is, you should keep on going forward.
