  1. Sunset by Frederic Edwin Church:
    This painting was painted in the United States in 1856 AD. It is a picture of a sunset over a lake in a forest like region. This painting makes me feel calm and relaxed. It reminds me of spending weekends in the summer at the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean. It looks very real, like I am looking at a real sunset or at least a photograph of one.

  2. Within this painting I chose was the view of Newport Mountain, Mount Desert. The artist was Frederic Edwin Church, in 1851 AD. Within this painting there is a man trying his hardest to pull a rock out of the water. There are boats in the distance and in the horizon. There are also rocks and a forest behind the man. Within this painting it reminds me of the beach, if it did not have any trees, mostly because of the rocky outlines near the ocean. This painting is creative by the soft colors they used. The painting gives off a calm mood that by the time you look at it you feel a sensation of calmness.

  3. Desert Rock Lighthouse by Thomas Doughty 1836


    The Desert Rock Lighthouse is a bright painting, with many light brown colors, and very blotchy brushes. The clouds in the sky, the ocean waves, and the rocks that the waves crash onto, all direct one’s attention to the lighthouse which sits in the middle of the painting next to the horizon. It creates a sense of a calm environment, and being at peace. This work is original because of it’s bright, but mild lighting, and it’s ability to invoke peace. With this, the artist shows how the peace of the ocean is extremely calming.

  4. "Sunset" by Frederic Edwin is a painting of a sunset made in the the United States in 1856 AD. The painting is very detailed with a lot small lines and colors to create the illusion of a sunset in the forest. I think the main focus of this painting is the sunset near the lake with the mountains in the back round. The details and different colors make me feel that it is a success, and this painting reminds me of pictures of prehistoric times.

  5. The sunset painting by Frederic Edwin Church was created in the United States in 1856 AD. This painting has a rather deep and powerful tone, consisting with dark color from the trees, mountains, rocks. The sunset part of the painting is two toned with a yellow glow and above is a pink fluffy texture to to clouds. This painting is rather different than an ordinary painting. The sunset painting consists to a dark toned feeling with a limited color choice. The lines in this painting is raspy. The clouds and trees do not have a theme of line. The lines are curvy to make a majestic view of the sunset.This painting makes me feel on the gloomy side because of the authors choice on the color. The painting is rather dark and not a happy view.

  6. The beacon off the mount desert island, by Frederic Church in 1851 was painted on the shore of a desert island. It has great detail and vibrant colors to make the piece very realistic, for example; the waves, the clouds and the boat off in the distance. There's also good similarities in the waves crashing on the rocks and in the color of the sunset. I feel this piece of work is a success because it has great detail, color and similarities in the picture

  7. The Desert Rock Lighthouse is a seemingly older painting that illustrates the aggression of the sea along with the rough rocky lands with a lighthouse in the middle. The waves are very aggressive but the land would be a seamen's dream. The sounds of the sea would be very calming and represents the beauty of the sea. The paintings colors range from light to dark colors but the light colors really brighten up the mood of the painting.

  8. This piece of art that is being evaluated is called Desert Rock Lighthouse by Thomas Doughty. The art was created in 1836 and painted in the United States of America. The artwork has very specific waves and the way it hits the rocks once reaching the island with the lighthouse. The dull coloration with the white waves smashing is used in repetition across the painting. This picture reminds me of the time I was on a boat in New York and we passed a lighthouse and the ways were huge and the weather was bad. This painting seems successful for strength because the waves are crashing around the island and they are huge but the island stands solid and the lighthouse is still standing strong too.

  9. This piece of art that is being analyzed is called Beacon off Mount Desert Island, it was painted on 1851 AD by Frederic Edwin Church. This painting was painted in the United States. This piece of art is different from other paintings because of the color scheme. The line movement in this piece has curves, diagonal and horizontal lines. The technical work of this painting is that that it looks real it looks like it is happening right in front of my eyes. There is a small boat in the distance that is recognizable. There is a lot of movement like the waves crashing. Words i would say for this art is excitement, and wanting to see more. This work reminds me of one of the shows on the geographic channel about mermaids when the mermaid was on a rock next to waves crashing. This art is not successful it does not make me want to do anything after looking at it. This work is not like any other piece of work that is good or bad. This piece is not original because all it is, is a rock with waves crashing around it

  10. Chasm of the Colorado is a painting originally painted in 1873 by Thomas Moran. The picture depicts a scene of the grand canyon with a fog over creating a soft feeling throughout the painting. The artist uses colder colors and soft line work to complete the softer realistic feel of this painting.

  11. Fog off Mountain Desert by Frederic Edwin Church in 1850 AD. A painting of rough water crashing on the rocks off of a bay at the mountainside. The artist focused on repressive strokes on the waves crescent. The work may remind you of a day at the beach watching the waves crash off the rocks in front of you. The success of the painting is the decisive interpretation of the distance of the ship and the descending mountains.

  12. I chose the picture "Twilight in the Wilderness" the author of this amazing painting is Fredric Edwin Church. This photo was made in the United states. This painting looks very similar to a sunset, with the dark vibrant red and orange colors. The majestic trees bordering the lake. With the clouds slowly fading away, describes by the colors going dark vibrant to a light yellow with the outline of mountains behind it. I would describe this art work as bold and striking. Or even rich. This art work must be successful do to how simple and elegant it is.

  13. The Desert Rock Lighthouse painting by Thomas Doughty was created in 1836 in the U.S. It looks majestic and some what depressing. The colors used are dark and he waves make you feel like you're there at that scene. The painting isn't colorful, but you can tell at the time of scene being painted, it looks like there's a storm.

The painting mostly uses dark and intense colors. This work of art reminds me of going canoeing or at a lake house. This painting is successful because it makes people want to go outside more.

  15. This piece is called Twilight in the Wilderness. It is a painting by Frederic Edwin Church, that was made in the United States in 1860 AD. The painting shows a river, either a sunset or a sunrise sky, and the reflection the sun has on the clouds. The clouds show movement in the sky, like they are moving towards the horizon. It is full of straight, bumpy, and curved lines, with layered mountains, and the trees. You could say that this work is a great success because it was a new form of art, so it was very unique and life like. Its like photorealism almost. Also because of this it is now a well known painting. Not to mention how original this painting it. During that time period there was nothing else like that, in that time period it was considered very unique.

  17. This piece of art, “Sunset” is created by Frederic Edwin Church. This piece of art was created in the United States in 1856 AD. This is a photo of a sunset behind some mountains overlooking a lake as it moves along with the mountains and sunsets reflection. The colors in this photo range from medium to dark. The mountains are very dark brown toned and the sun is a mix of yellow, orange and pink as it reflects off the blue lake below it. The detailed movement of the lines go from the curve of the mountains to the horizontal lines of the reflections in the lake. In this image the animals to the right on top of the mountain are a recognizable image as well as the small island in the middle of the lake. Although the lake seems to peacefully move along there is not a lot of movement in this image. The colors in this photo remind me of the sunset every night when the sky is an assortment of colors ranging from the yellow, orange, and pinkness of the sun to the light grey of the clouds above. Relaxation and peace are two of the many words to describe this photo. This piece of art is not successful because it is an image of a sunset that someone could see any day. This piece of art is not similar to any good or bad images. This image is not the most original, but it does differ from some of the many images of sunsets because of its color scheme and location. The colors are very different from the average image of a yellow sun setting over a crystal blue beach. The location is what makes it original because an image of a sunset is usually located at beach but in this image it is behind mountains as well as over a lake making it more original and different from other pieces of work.
