When looking at art you see the different ways artist express themselves such as by using different media, in color or black and white, and what they are capturing. When you see an artist’s work, they want you to be able to separate their work from others. People like to look at art that captures their attention and makes them turn their hands. Artist want others to enjoy their work and for that to happen they create something they believe people want to see. Art is meant to enjoy and makes people see things from a deeper point of view. Artist want people to be able to compare between their work such as in Walt Disney’s and Frank Gehry’s artwork. Walt Disney is known for his cartons and movies while Gehry is known for his future sculptures. …show more content…
First look at Walt Disney, he is a man of color and animated characters. The man started out as an entrepreneur, animator, and film producer. He was a big part of the creation and development of cartoons. Walt did not start off as wanting to do art work but to produce films. Walt is remembered for his hands-on cartoons such as his first popular one Mickey Mouse. Walt uses bright colors and animals for his main characters. In his film, Fantasia, the uses of bright colors are welled used but also the way he draws mickey spiraling down into the water. The way he uses the different color to enhance the effect of the water getting deeper which gives of the senses of movement in the picture. These picture gives of the feel of what is about to happen or what happened for this to occur. Walt had a rhythm of using animals as his characters and …show more content…
He first started making furniture in his line called “Easy Edges" but soon had an interest in remolding homes. The building he creates looks like they are moving or in some falling. Gehry uses media like metal, water, and brick such as in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Dancing House, and Waterfall House. In fact, Gehry made the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. Gehry’s art work is different than other by his art pertaining to buildings instead of works of clay, marble, or limestone. The form of his work is that he likes to make buildings become landmarks by making the structure irregular compared to normal landmarks. The lines in his works are not even or straight such as in the building called Chill Out Point. There isn’t real a lot of color in his pieces but mostly metal or neutral colors. The patterns in his work are that he likes for his buildings to curve, be circular, or some even caving in. The idea of these buildings is to give a sense of creativeness and that not all building has to be the same. The reason I believe for the Dancing House, is to catch others attention and disapprove that all buildings must be normal. I think that Gehry was trying to say that he wants to change buildings in the future, so he is showing that it can be done. I like the way he strays from the normal building of building or houses and creates his own

Disney Hall

...Why can't we have those curves and arches that express feeling in design? What is wrong with them? Why has everything got to be vertical, straight, unbending, only at right angles - and functional?” ¾Charles, Prince of Wales. (Quotes) Three years ago I was studying high school in Los Angeles, and during vacation I travelled around and explored the city. I still remember out of all the locations that I have toured, Walt Disney Concert Hall probably is the one that stands out most in my memory. Although I didn’t visit the interior of the Concert Hall, the exterior appearance left a profound impact on me influencing my view regarding the society and art. I feel astounded by how Gehry’s work can beautifully allow art and architecture to collide into a piece of functional aesthetic structure. Among all the nearby and typical buildings in the city of Los Angeles, Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank O. Gehry, becomes a prominent infrastructure and representative of the area. It reveals an eye-catching comparison as it unconventional, curvaceous, irregular and stirring style contrasts with the surrounding proportional, balance, symmetrical and straight buildings. Through the critical examining of its construction styles, design, social manifestation, and public response which I am going to evaluate in this essay, I want to expose an understanding of how architecture reflects on its symbolic function and societal progression. “I know I draw without taking my pen off the...
