Unit 3- Painting

Painting is very common and almost everyone had done it. Painting is the ultimate representation of what art is and will always be. Painting can almost be therapeutic to people in the right setting. The first known paintings were in caves and were made from organic materials. Over time paintings transformed and became more meaningful. During the Renaissance age painting took over a whole new path: artists found new techniques for painting, which are still used today. Painting media's are Tempera, Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Mixed Media, Buon Fresco, and Fresco Secco. These different techniques allow for true expression in the paintings. In Ralph Goings "Rock Ola" Painting he used watercolor so precisely that anyone couldn't see bleeding from the paint. The lines in the painting are straight and clean. I love this picture with the colors, use of paint and the idea behind the painting. In his other paintings he is continuing the diner theme. I find all of his work is very real looking and different from the usual paintings you see everyday. Paintings really can capture the eye and also show realism.
