Painting By: Tim Maguire
 Tim painting is about flowers and  he paint flowers from very close way. I like Tim painting because his use bright colours and also his painting depict highly magnified floral imagery. His painting based on everyday and nature.

when look at Tim painting he use bright background for his painting and I got a ideas to experiment  with my flowers painting. Using mirror I will try  experiment painting flowers on mirror to see how to work. The main ideas behind using mirror as part of my subject matter I want people to see the painting as well themselves as part of flower.  

Painting of Tim looks interste becuse he mostly paint flowers from close age and he painting look realiste and he use some colours reall flowers.

 This image i have take from interten becuse i love realistes flowers i want see how much artist painting realist images and also this flowers have a beatiuful colours and i love lights colours of flowers.Most of floweres have meaing that people use for imporant events.
 Red Flowers:
There is good reason red roses are given to sweethearts. It's because red is symbolic of passion, love, and energy. Red runs through our bodies in raging rivers of blood. Red rushes to our cheeks when we feel the heat of our feelings. Red resonates with the root chakra and reminds us of our animal instincts. Indeed, red is the spark that kindles our most fervent flames of desire. Send red flowers to someone who needs a jolt of energy - this shock of color is sure to get their engines revving.



Green Flowers
Anybody who has endured a long winter will tell you how jazzed they get at the first glimmer of green in spring. The meaning of flower color in green is about renewal, growth, hope, health and youth. Think of luscious emerald lawns, the smell rich with juicy goodness. You can't help but smile at the thought. Green is also the color of the heart chakra, and so it takes on the meaning of good health. Bright green is the color of Mother Nature at her highest peak. Feel her bounty and embrace her gifts of harvest and health. Express these sentiments by giving a verdant ivy to a friend or loved one today.

 For me ever flowers and plants have meaning, most plants  and flowers used in diffrent way. I love flowers and flowers is one of my favourites.

Artwork of Tanya Schultz give aesthetic and I like martial that she use in artworks. Tanya artwork is accessible because she use bright colours and making different type of shapes of flowers. other thing that I love about Tanya artwork is she use the ground and walls as background and the work look flat its great for the viewers .

I have find this four images from internet the reason I have choice this paintings to write about is because this fours image give me knowledge how to paint flowers, how display paintings, and the most important part what colours should I use for my painting. I have fine that researching is important part of artwork to create because ever time you see artwork you think different way about it, the more research you do and you have better chance to create great artwork because you studying other artists artwork and learning new skills from them create your own work.

Further information

With its use of collaged fabric and decorative patterning, ‘Black bolero’ exemplifies the two art movements that Miriam Schapiro helped to shape: feminist art and the pattern and decoration movement. Her use of appliqué and decorative motifs was seen as a feminisation, and a critique, of the reductive abstraction that dominated the art market at the time – a gesture that parodied the concise abstractions of male artists such as Frank Stella with an excess of decoration.
After early success in New York as a hard edge colour field painter, Schapiro began tutoring at the University of California in San Diego in 1967. Here she met the radical feminist artist Judy Chicago and later, with Chicago, started up the first Feminist Arts Program at Cal-Arts, Los Angeles. With 21 students, they created Womanhouse, a community-based project that involved taking over a house and allowing each student to create an installation/environment in one of the rooms. The teaching involved daily consciousness-raising sessions in which the women discussed not only art issues but were encouraged to talk about their personal experiences of being a woman in a male-dominated society.
Following her involvement in Womanhouse, Schapiro began lecturing across the United States using slides of ‘traditional’ women’s craftwork such as knitting, embroidery, lacemaking and quilting, explaining how a history written by men had marginalised and trivialised these crafts and in doing so had excluded women’s important contribution to American culture. In her own work, she began using fabric collaged onto the paint of her canvases and shaping her canvases to resemble giant fans and hearts. She coined the term ‘femmage’ to describe her collages using elements of traditional women’s craftwork.
In 1974 Schapiro returned to New York. With fellow artist Joyce Kozloff, she organised meetings and discussion groups with the aim of starting up a women’s art school and feminist art journal. This resulted in the foundation of both the Feminist Art Institute and the journal ‘Heresies’, which became a major voice of the feminist art movement and helped to change entrenched attitudes towards women artists in many parts of the Western world. Also in New York, she started exhibiting with other artists who were using patterning in their work, both male and female, such as Joyce Kozloff and Robert Zakanitch. They became known as the pattern and decoration movement.

Some information about artist artwork:

         The writing literally is on the wall for Hossein Valamanesh at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Each time the artist installs his Untitled  work in a new location, he must re-create its shadow text.
Valamanesh features with many of the state's leading artists in the Australian Art Activations  exhibition as part of this year's SALA Festival, which starts on Friday.
Works by Fiona Hall, Tony Bishop, Sally Smart, Anthony Hamilton, Louise Haselton, Yhonnie Scarce, Sue Kneebone and Gerry Wedd will be shown alongside more traditional pieces.
Valamanesh, who was born in Iran, is the subject of this year's SALA monograph book.
His 1994 Untitled  work consists of a folded shirt intricately constructed from lotus leaves.
The shadow he painted yesterday contains Farsi text from a Sufi poem, which translates as: "I tear my shirt with every breath for the extent of ecstasy and joy of being in love; now he has become all my being, and I am only a shirt."

 

Valamanesh said he loved the contrast between the stiff shirt and the openness of the poem.
"It's nice because it sort of changes slightly every time I've done it," he says.
 
Reflation:
I had find Hussaini artwork really interest to look as sample for this project that I am doing, because his artwork somehow relate to his culture and country. What I really about this pieces of artwork is the text written in way human shadow and it look interest.

 

I found this image interest look as sample because of the colour and written text around the border. For this artwork the text is explaining about colours ,shape of flowers and beauty of flowers how  God create this beautiful natures beauty.

Master of Persian Miniature:

I have visit this websitehttp://www.iranreview.org/content/Documents/Master_of_Persian_Miniature.htm, and I had find  great information on Iranian painting Miniature. what I really like about this type of painting is the style, richness colours, and meaning of painting. I love artists that use lots of light colours and flowers, and different themes on their painting.

Here Is some information about history of Miniature painting:


Origin of Persian Miniatures Persian miniature is a richly detailed miniature painting which depicts religious or mythological themes from the region of the Middle East now known as Iran. The art of miniature painting in Persia flourished from the 13th through the 16th centuries, and continues to this day, with several contemporary artists producing notable Persian miniatures. These delicate, lush paintings are typically visually stunning, with a level of detail which can only be achieved with a very fine hand and an extremely small brush.
Persian miniature is a small painting, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts, which probably had an influence on the origins of the Persian tradition.
