The use of lines and form in this painting gives it the allusion of movement. The painting seems to almost flow around in the space.
The location, medium, and date of this artwork is unknown.
The Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer
I have picked this piece of art for its portrayal of the contrast/emphasis and line. The dark background creates the contrast for the light colored girl in the picture. The head scarf creates a line along her head, neck, and shoulders.
1665, Oil on Canvas
Location: Mauritshuis, The Hague, Netherlands
The Green Dancer, Edgar Degas
This artwork portrays a sense of space. The dancer is leaning forward, while her left leg is being lifted in the back to demonstrate space. The dancers in the background solidify the space by standing “behind” the dancer.
Portrait of Mademoiselle Irene d’Cahen Anvers, Pierre-Auguste Renoir
This painting has texture and value. The artist painted the mademoiselle’s hair to seem to have the texture of silk. The appearance of the hair is silky and soft to touch. The color of her hair goes from a darker color to a lighter as it is exposed to the light source in the painting. Value is used to create the illusion of a light source poring over the mademoiselle.
1880, Oil on Canvas
Location: Foundation E.G. Buhrle, Zurich

This artwork made in art deco style shows shape and gradation. The triangles are a 2D shape and the purple gets lighter or darker depending on how you view it.
This is an art print by the company Dominique Vari and I do not have any other information on this specific piece.
Mushrooms, Yayoi Kusama
This artwork is pop art. It includes rhythm or repetition and variety. The background has the same pattern repeated all in the same color. The mushrooms all have different colors and patterns in themselves that creates variety.

-3D Rattlesnake Sidewalk Chalk Art Drawing, Amy Pearce
This video shows the artist drawing a rattlesnake to appear 3D. This art has form. The form is one of a snake and it uses shading to make it seem 3D.
The medium is chalk and the sidewalk. 2016
Michelangelo's David
This piece of sculpture shows exaggerated proportions. The artist used proportion to give David a sense of heroic stature. His height and build is larger than the average human.
The artist used accurate proportions in this painting. There is an emphasis on the man in the painting because of the choice of coloring for the background. The background seems to fade away, while the man is more solid.
