Module 2: My Analysis of Girl on the Beach By Michele Hall

The artwork Girl on the Beach was created by Michele Hall who is an emerging artist from New Port, Sydney Australia. This artwork you can find at Artwork collective. It might not be a huge hit like artworks from Van Gough or Leonardo DaVinci, but it has its own magic going on and it just brings you in to really appreciate her work. I couldn’t really find a date from when this artwork was painting but if I do I will update my blog.

Let’s imagine this artwork with this description I am going to give you. Imagine a young woman with a yellow bikini top and a flowy blue skirt walking on a pathway with wooden railings on each side of her. On the left side there is a hill of brown with a mix of yellow sand with a bunch of grass covering it up. As she is walking this pathway, in front of her you see the bright blue skies with barely any clouds, just how we would like it when going to the beach. Under the sky there it is the big ocean with an incoming wave. The dark blue ocean water just how you imagine. On the right side we can see the sand and a couple of grass patches. As we can see here our vanishing point is the young woman that is where our horizon line is located at. I feels as that this artwork is a one-point linear perspective like I mention before we have our vanishing point (vp) and from our vp we can make lines that go from the vp and end at edge of the canvas. Which I feel that that is what creates the pathway to look narrower when you get closer to the water. In the artwork we can’t really see a sun but by the skies we can see its probably somewhere near the middle of the day. This piece of art gives me a mixture of emotions since seeing it makes feel warm and comfy and probably makes me want to go on vacation so I can go to the beach. The blue skies make me feel at ease and calm. As for the water we know that it cannot move but with the wave that is incorporated in the art I can just hear the sounds of waves crashing onto shore.
