What Is A Powerful Image In ART?



What does "powerful" mean in art?

An image that will catch your eye or have a strong effect on your feelings or thoughts is powerful.

Which one of these images "catches" your eye? Are they both powerful images?


 






Do these images have a strong effect on your feelings or thoughts?

 
 Andrew Wyeth








There are different ways to create a powerful image

*Outlining an image (contour line)

This is a Keith Harring image

*Consider Background (light colors, dark colors, contrast, complete coverage)

Which fish looks more powerful?

 

 

  

*Considering size

If this bird were painted very tiny in the corner would it be a powerful image?

 

  Look at our fish again, do you notice this little fish? Why?

 

  *Show Emotion

    Is this a powerful image? 

What powerful emotion are you feeling as you look at this piece?



How will you make "powerful art images"
