Paul Cezanne

The painting we have chosen...

This picture is of Paul Cezanne. There are two men in the picture, they are playing cards and one of them is smoking. They are wearing a hat and brown jackets. There is a table betwin them , it is brown. On the table there is a bottle of wine. On the backround there is a collection of wine bottles and a bar. The colors of the picture are very dark.

We think that the picture is a critic of the men who spend a lot of time on the bars drinking and playing cards with their friends.

Vang Gogh

Laia Ramos
Alba

Van Gogh painted these pictures. The names of the paintings are: The Starri night,

and Square-Cafe.

The picture chosen has got dark colors, but also clear. It is at night

and there are stars.

At the front of the painting there is a black tree that seems to touch the sky.

Heaven has different shapes and colors: yellow, bright blue ...

On the background of the image there are gray mountains.

We think that the picture is very beautiful, because cold colours predominate, but it also has the yellow colour.

Claude Monet

Mónica Salinas and Ámbar Vallés

The painter of this pictures is Claude Monet, he's from Paris, France. In this picture, there is a lake, in the front of the lake we can see three rowboats. In the middle of the lake there is an "island". On the "island" there are many people and a tree. Next to the "island" there is a pier on the right. There is also a boat-restaurant. There is a gangway for walking to the "island". Far away there are many people swimming in the lake. On the shore, at the bottom of the picture, there are many trees.

The picture has got warm and cold colors. In the water we can see the reflection of the people and trees. The day is sunny because we can see that the trees' color is brighter, but the people are in the shadow.
We think that the picture is very bright but also has got some darkness. We like the picture because the people seem happy.

Paul Cézanne

In the picture, we can see almost twenty houses, most roofs we can see are red, and yellow walls but in some houses, there are white in some other houses. There is a meadow surrounding the houses, with a fields, and a long and small way. In the bottom of the picture, you can se a mountain with no trees and no grass. It seems that the mountain is part of a range. It may be summer, because there isn't any snow on the mountain, and there isn't any cloud in the sky, and the sun shines on the village and on the mountain. What image are we talking about ?

Sorolla. By Chari and lovepreet

Hello ,we are Lovepreet Kaur and Jiahuei Chen today we are going to describe you one picture.

In this painting we can see two children and they are near the sea and they are walking in the middle of the beach without shoes, we think they go swimming .

The girl is wearing a very long dress and her dress colour is pink and white. She has got long brown hair in a ponytail. The boy is without clothes, but he is wearing a hat. The colour of his hat is yellow.We think the boy is happy but the girl is sad because she is looking at the ground.

The weather is very hot and sunny. We think it's summer time. The colour of the sea is dark blue

We like this picture. Because this picture is very beautiful and we like the pictures of sea. We like all pictures by Sorolla.He is a good paintor.

Manet

Yadira & Angie

Manet is a French artist.This painting is called On The Beach and he painted it in 1873. This picture shows a beach, apparently in the evening because the sun isn't shining a lot.
In the picture you can see many people and the faces are blurred, we think it is because they aren't important for him. On the sand there are two people. The one on the left has got a dress and she is lying, the one on the rigth is standing and she has got a red dress.
The sea is calm, and the water is crystalline. There are swimmers in the water, it seems that there is one woman with her baby, and one man and his son swimming, and a girl lying on the water. There aren't any boats in the sea.

From our point of view the picture is beautiful and transmits peace and we think that our task was interesting.

Pablo Picasso

Junjie and Ivan






























This painting was created in the 19th century, it contains a bull, some horses and suffering and crying people. Also we can see a small white pigeon that represents the peace, but in this case it is dead. This picture is about a bombing that happens in the Spanish civil war from 17th July 1936 until 1st April 1939.

When the artist was painting the picture, Spain was in war, one could deduce that Picasso painted the picture probably because a family member or maybe one of his friends was dead. That picture shows more things to the observer, for example, the indiscriminate killing, the war...

We think that the picture shows, a tragic story that is the end of many Spanish people. Also we can see that there is no peace because there is a dead white pigeon and also there is a lot of blood on the ground and a lot of innocent dead people.

The painting has got different tonalities of the colours black and white and we think that it is because the war also causes poverty and sadness, and these colours also represent that.

Paul Cézanne

Leonardo da vinci

In the picture, we can see one woman and one baby . The baby is big. Behind the woman there are windows and we can see the blue sky. The woman is wearing a red and blue dress but the baby hasn't got clothes, he's naked. She has got a small nose and mouth. The woman has got long, curly, brown hair. The woman is watching the baby that is sitting on her lap. The woman has a serious face. In the picture, we can see that the woman has got a flower in her hand.
This is a religious paint.
We think that the picture reprents the virgin Maria with the child Jesus.

Seurat

Ivan and Miloud




Seurat is the painter of the picture, he's from France. We can see a river and the shore of the river. There are many people and animals. At the front, there is a woman and she has got a black umbrella and a little brown dog. On the right there are many trees.

In the river there is one sailing ship and on the shore of the river there are many children playing and people looking at the river. On the back ground there are many trees and two houses. The weather is sunny.

We think that in the picture there are many bright colours because the day is sunny.

Edward Hopper

Our names are Alejandro and Ferran

The painting shows a room. The room's wall is blue. In this room there is a bag and there is a painting on the background . In the picture we can see two windows and a table on the right. In the table there is a bag and glasses.
In this picture we can see one girl and she is sitting on a chair. The girl is blonde. She is tall. She is wearing a brown jacket, a black T-shirt, a brown skirt and brown boots. She is thinking. From our point of view the picture is well painted and realistic. Which picture is it?

Monet

Marta García

This painting is called The Luncheon. Monet, a French artist, painted it in the 19th. century.

The painting shows a beautiful garden at noon. At the front, we can see a wooden bench and, next to it, a small tea trolley and a round table covered by a long white tablecloth. On the bench there is a nice umbrella and a purse, and on table there is some fruit, a coffeepot and some cups.

In the picture there are also some people. A child, who is wearing a hat, is sitting on the ground and is playing. And on the background, in front of the house, two women are going for a walk. One of the women is wearing a long white dress and the other is dressed in yellow. We cannot see their faces very well because they are far away.

I like this painting because Monet used a lot of bright colours to paint all the flowers. It is probably spring time and a very sunny and peaceful day.
