The first portrait I found very appealing to me was The Raft of the Medusa, which was done by Theodore Gericault. Before The moment I layed my eyes onto this picture it was breath taking, the picture to me looks so dramatic. Many things are going on at once and the weather looks dark and serious. The colors that were used in this picture fits right on and everything matches so well together. There is also a lot of movement in this picture which eventually leads you to the top right part of the portrait. The direction in which the people are facing as well as the direction their arms are pointing at, is the reason for why it makes your eyes move. I think that the way the artist thought of using this kind of drawing was nice because it allows people to see the whole picture in detail in a very slow pace following the movement the people are pointing towards.
The second picture that I enjoyed was Chanter, which was done by Emmi Whitehorse. Chanter looks like a simple picture that was done by a person doodling on a paper out of boredom. The reason why I thought this picture was great was becuase of the color that was used in it. The blue color makes it look so refreshing and takes your mind off. It looks like a person's daydream and confusing. Some figures looking like it is upside down and other being unclear of what the figure actually is. The mystery that was in this picture makes you think about what the artist is trying to state, making it a work of art.
