For this specific piece she used pastels on paper, or dry media, that is in two-dimensional art. For the tentacles, the pastels she may have used had more colored material and less wax to produce the soft and smudgy lines. The main focus on the painting is the jellyfish itself and is taking up the most space in the painting with a small background. Her lines are very distinct. For the actual jellyfish she used gesture lines for the tentacles that sets off an illusion in our eyes that it looks like it is actually moving to us, but is not. She overlapped on top of each other. Her lines also went in many different directions, some went diagonal and others went vertical. The texture from what I could see of the painting, it looked very smooth, and that she used a light hand when…show more content… She focused most of the light to be on the jellyfish, while the background, which I assume represents the ocean is full of dark blues and the jellyfish is has brighter colors to make it stand out more in the refracted light, the value of the art is going from light and dark. Her shading for the jellyfish, does appear to look like the natural sun is hitting through the ocean onto the jellyfish, giving the top of it a burst of color. Since her piece is two-dimensional, her art has planar space, since her main focus point does take up a majority of the frame. The shape used for the jellyfish has a unique geometric shape to it, since no person or animal is perfectly shaped, it only made sense that the geometric shape of her jellyfish was not a fully perfect circle or perfectly shaped lines for the tentacles. For her colors she did use some complementary colors, for example blue to orange. The blue from the ocean background and there is parts of orange in the jellyfish.
