At first my eye started at the darker part of the picture, the wing that is curled then travelled towards the other half of the picture with the other wing. I then saw the face of the bird, then my eye travelled down the picture frame and towards the bottom where the feet of the bird are. Then I noticed the bright blues in the background on the left of the picture and the rock. I appreciate the artwork because there are so many little details and textures that the artist portrays but the artist also shows emotion through the painting.

When I first looked at this, the open stance of the swan drew my eye. From the center of the swan and then travels the rest of the painting following the neck/head, legs, and wings in different directions. I appreciate this painting because I grew up being around swans at my grandparents home, and the pose is very striking unlike most pieces exhibited.

I first notice the mans face who seems to have everyone gathered around him. My eyes go across, looking at all the faces. Then I look down a bit and sort of scan my eyes across all the things near/on the floor, and I notice the man that I initially looked at holding some sort of broken cup.I appreciate the artwork because I cannot even imagine how much time was put into this piece. There are so many small details, and the longer you look, the more things you notice.

My eye is drawn to the left extended wing at first, and moves towards its body, and down a bit more until my focus is on the flow of the river. Then i focus on the loose leaves to the right, and travel up towards the clouds and sky. Not only is it a very bold painting having the swan take up most of the canvas, but it also allows my attention to travel in a very interesting way.

This painting draws my attention immediately straight to the swans big white wings. The wings are so spread out it almost takes up the whole picture. From the tips of the wings my eyes move towards the swans body to the head. My eyes also move from the swans tail all the way up to the body and the the wings.

This painting is a striking portrait of the artist's son in a monk outfit. It stuck out to me because of the passion put into it, for a father to create something that will last hundreds if years later to be remembered today, all for his son. I also really like how he looks in the painting, for his monk outfit flows a certain way that directs the eye, from the very top of the robe to the wrinkles on the sleeves, along with the way Titus gazes downwards.

This painting is interesting because my eye firsat goes to the bottom center then it travels up and out. This is interesting because its full circle onec your eye goes out to the end of the flowers it eventually travels back towards the vase. I picked this as my favorite because I like the simplicity of it and the color pallet.

My eyes traveled out to the top/ top right corner from the center of the painting. The artist used brush strokes that emphasized the sky to show how the sky depth. He used the strokes to show how the sky, in the top right of the painting, is closer to the viewer than the bottom left part of the sky. I also think my eyes went right to the sky instead of the center of the painting because the sky's the brightest color in the painting where as everything else he used darker colors. My eye then saw the tree after the sky because it is he next brightest object in this painting.

I don't know why I was so drawn to this painting, but I knew when I saw it I was immediately drawn to it. It has extravagant features, and is overall a powerful painting.  I appreciate this work because a swan is such a delicate animal as we perceive it, but in the painting it is in distress and that is what I like about it, and how the artist portrayed it. I was drawn to the wings because they go out far, so I used arrows tos how that, and the body is placed towards the middle, and that's why I put the squares to show how I saw it.

My eye travels down the long walls and along the columns in the painting. The artist uses the rule of thirds to highlight the large archway in the distance. The long columns that make your eye travel vertically are cut by the railing. This gives the painting a lot of perspective and leads your eye to the focus of the painting; the arch. The column on the right is also giving the painting a lot of perspective. i like this painting because the colors are very muted and neutral. The pops of yellow give the painting a warmer feel. The grand archway gives such a royal feeling to the painting.

Daniella Doolin  - Morning Ride Along the Beach by Anton Mauve-  The painting was very natural in terms of nature. There are no streets, or cars or buses. The ocean and sky is blue and clear.  My eyes focused on the center of the photo, with the 3 men on horses gliding through the beach with a sand dune to their right. The white sanded foot prints of the horses were  straight and disciplined. The destination of the men on the horses were unknown.

Looking at the painting, my eye first travels to the vase. Then my eye starts noticing the animals around the vase (specifically the birds). The way each animal was positioned made it easier to follow along in a path. The main focus of mine had to be the vase, because of its shadows and coloring. I really appreciate the linework and shading done in this painting. It provides a calming atmosphere and certain aspects we associate towards a peaceful "end". For example, the background is of the sun setting.

When I first saw the painting, I immediately looked at the girl's face. It is the brightest part of the piece which is why is saw it first. I then saw her draping kimono and my eyes followed it down to the bottom of the painting. Her kimono has a natural curve and drooping folds which is why it caught my eye. I focused on the shadow her kimono makes on the carpet and the folds at the very bottom of the kimono. I really appreciate this work because of how natural it looks. The folds of the kimono look like they could droop like that in real life and blend well together really nicely. Looking at this painting is really pleasing to the eye as well. I like how your eye is immediately drawn to the girl, but by looking closer you can see how interesting the background is. The pattern on the bed and wall is pretty and compliments the patterns and colors of her dress well.

My eye travels to the far left side of the painting towards the horizon. The path that the men are walking on leads to that point. Also one of the men is looking in that direction. The way the path winds and gets smaller towards the end creates depth like the men are walking further into the painting. I liked this painting because of the cool pastels used and the men are dark compared to the background so they popped. There is a lot of detail in this painting and I just liked the overall feel.

This painting is very peaceful and relaxing to look at to me. My eyes were immediately drawn to the way it looked like the sky was carved through the shape of the clouds. I am drawn through this whimsical skyline of light blue and white and then taken to the bottom of the painting where the pond begins. I am then greeted by a little bridge and as I start to look out beyond the trees it almost looks like a little village in the back. I appreciate this artwork because I really like how simple yet elegant everything looks and ties together. I love the use of the deep colors in the foreground of the picture but also a contrast of lighter ones in the sky. Also, the way the clouds are painted they almost look like they could be moving. Very realistic.

This painting was interesting to me because of the nature scene and the longer I looked the better it got. My eyes initially started on the top left and went down to the right then back up in a circular motion. Then they went down to the bottom of the scene where the river carried my eyes across the painting. I think the rule of thirds is very prevalent in the scene with the big tree in the center column, the river on the bottom row and the rocks breaking up the river horizontally. The farthest you can see is all inside the middle left box which is interesting and the closest part of the foreground is the bottom right. This opposite brings balance to the painting. I also like the muted colors of the painting because it feels calm, cohesive and warm.

This is a cool painting. There is a lot going on in one painting which makes viewing it cooler. I like how everyone seems to be doing their own thing and not just posing for a picture. My eye focused right on the bottom left. From there I scanned around the painting and the rest of the people where my eye was also caught by people in the background. I then looked briefly at the scenery behind then back to where I started. Almost like a full circle which was why I chose it but also because the people here are all doing something different and it makes the painting feel noisy somehow but overall very interesting.

In this still life painting, my eyes were drawn to the pot because it is kind of isolated on the left of the painting. The direction of the pot led my eyes to the turkey because they were facing each other. From there, they turkey, basket of fruit, and platter of food made a little triangle within themselves so I noticed that. And finally, the 3 platters of food and 2 platters with the bread made triangles. Overall, eyes travelled in a circle around the painting so I think it was displayed very nicely.
I appreciate this artwork because the colors flowed very nicely together. They were mostly soft browns/greys with some other warmer colors like reds in the fruit bowl. The classiness of the fruit and plants paired nicely with the more messy plates and the white tablecloth had a good contrast with the brown background.

In the painting, my eyes were drawn right to the brightness in the sky. The light then drew my attention down the painting to the people ice skating. From there it followed the skaters to the houses and up into the trees. It then went back to where my eyes were originally drawn to which was the sun hitting the clouds creating a lighter spot among the darkness of the sky. I appreciate this work of art because you can see how the artist uses the light to create a pathway for you to look. I also like the details on each skater and how they are each doing a different activity.

In this art piece my eyes were drawn to the center of the image. Then my eyes moved counter clockwise towards the flower closest to the top. This is because the center tulip is the most clearly painted flower. It is almost as though the rest of the flowers frame the center.

I appreciate this work of art  because it was obviously painted meticulously. The tulips in the image are very realistic. It's setting is very bland which makes the view focus particularly on the flower. I enjoy how there is variety is shapes, sizes, types, and colors of flowers. The use of value made this piece very enjoyable to look at.

The viewer's eye has the compositional aid of the "Rule of 3rd's in this painting. The building creates a diagonal line that encourages the viewer to look to the center of the painting. The open doorways are using the compositional trait, "framing" to encourage the viewer to study the detailed people.

What I like about this painting is the tightness and closeness of the composition. The setting looks quaint and simple and we are simply looking into the everyday lives of people in a small town. The colors are warm, however there is plenty of contrast for the viewer to separate the important parts of this painting; the sky interacting with the building and the building interacting with the street.

My first time viewing the painting my eyes were automatically attracted and drawn to the man on the horse who is the first one to the left. This is because he is the one closest to the center of the painting and he is a bit separated from the other two men next to him making him stand out more. Then my eyes traveled towards the right and began to focus on the two other men who were by his side. Then my eyes finally traveled to the fourth man who was more ahead of them on the beach, which made him look smaller in the image and the least focused, so thats why your eyes go to him last. I appreciate this art because of the mood and setting the artist was able to include.The artist was able to convey that feeling of morning and was able to make it appear as just a calm horse ride. Even the colors he used shows the calmness of the painting.

In the painting I chose my eyes had gone right to their hands. Obviously the people were the main focus but what really caught me was the placement of their hands. The hands could have been my first look cause they were mid center but also with the fact that they were placed on a bright red dress which is a bright color. My eyes then traveled down the red dress and around it. I appreciate thus artwork because of the shadow and light that is being used in the art.I also enjoy the amount of effort being put into each thing for instance the hands I like how much effort was put in. The rings and the muscle detail.

In the painting, my eyes were immediately drawn to the three men on the horses going to the beach.  They were placed almost in the center of the painting as a focal point. My eyes were then lead to the man closer to the ocean on the horse. The painting of all four men drew my eyes towards the ocean and the sand. I appreciate this piece of art because its a very detailed piece, but has a simple concept. There are four men on horses going along the beach, but the detail of the shadows, sand, and the ocean show the movement within the painting.

The most obvious focal point of the painting are the two people, found in the centerpoint. This is most likely what Vermeer wanted the viewer to focus on, leading to him to create various objects pointing in directions which lead you to them. Initially, my eyes went straight to the people, as they were in the center, as well as painted much brighter than everything else, purposely. Various directional lines on the paintings on the wall also exhibit this trait. However, after looking for several minutes, I noticed that my eyes traveled up the broom, across the wall, and circled back to the curtain - which points back to the people. I appreciate this piece of art because of how much detail Vermeer included. It is very well made, and very impressive as someone who likes to include fine details as well.

My eye went right to the larger flowers at the top of the painting because they and bigger than the smaller flowers at the bottom. The shadowed areas in the background also make the flowers in the middle stand out. The top two flowers made me follow the painting down to see the vase and leaves at the bottom. I appreciate the use of shadows and highlights to draw the observer in which allows them to see many parts of the piece come together after viewing them separately.

My eye went right to Prometheus's shoulder since it's one of the brighter areas and the rest of the picture is dark. The way his arms lay lead my eyes to Vulcan's leg. My eyes then followed up his body to the angel in the back, which lead me back to Prometheus. What I appreciate about this piece is the way it conveys a dark situation by using shadows to connect the mood to the viewer. I also appreciate how the artist uses a range of emotions on the subjects to make the viewer think.
