Title: Blue Pottery Vase With Apples and LemonsArtist: Elizabeth BlaylockSize: 35.5cm 27.9cmMedium: Oil on canvasThere is a bowl containing apples and a lemon with a cloth underneath which sits on a hard surface. Outside the bowl on the surface is one apple and one lemon and a vase. Brush strokes on the objects such as the cloth and fruit creates a textured effect. In contrast to this, the bowl which has a much smoother surface with less revealing brush strokes. The colours of the items are reflected on nearby items and on the cloth too creating a unified colour scheme. The emphasis is on the apples and lemon as they are the only items with warm colours. The composition is balanced as the items are centrally placed and appear evenly weighted. Unity is formed as balance is reached and there isnt any oddly placed items.

Title: Compotier, Glass And Apples (Still Life With Compotier)Artist: Paul Cezanne Size: 46cm x 55cm Medium: Oil on canvasDate: 1880This painting contains a bowl of fruit, like apples and grapes, more fruit is scattered around the bowl, along with a knife closer to the front and a glass cup in the rear. Paul Cezanne has thick and visible brush strokes that shows blocks of colors and gives the objects a solid feel to them. The brush strokes are not messy but mostly in one direction. The fruits are all placed on white surface because the white cloth strongly contrasts the colors of the fruit. On parts of the cup, the wall and the cloth green strokes are presented. This is because the green fruits have their colors reflected onto those surfaces. Balance is reached as the heaviest group of objects is placed in the middle and there is a triangular arrangement, since there is a spread of objects across the table and also a smaller group of objects sitting above them. Unity is then achieved with this balance.

Title: Fruit Still Life With TapestryArtist: UnknownSize: 20 x 24Medium: Oil PaintingDate: 2000 This painting includes fruit like pears, apples and oranges, some in a bowl and some on a plate. They are placed on a cloth. This painting has an earthy tone because the colors used are mostly warm colors such as reds, yellows and browny oranges. The rough texture of the complicated cloth pattern in the background creates a contrast because the objects are less textured and the plain white cloth is even less so. Tonal values are strong in the objects and cloth which gives a sense of solidity and 3 dimensions, and the shadows also help to acheive this effect. The triangular shape formed by the three groups of objects helps achieve a sense of balance as does the contrast between the smooth surface of the foreground with the textured background. There isnt an obvious emphasis as all objects are colored with similar tones.

Artist: Marie L. AllenMedium: Watercolor and acrylic paint Size: 22 x 27Date: 2008This painting contains a vase with a plant, a bowl of pears, a pear, a teapot and a bottle. This painting does not have obvious brush strokes but still has its colors in block form which helps create the illusion of 3D. The emphasis could be on the pears because they have bright oranges and are in the middle. The yellow on and around the plants and scattered further to the right could be from the sunlight as the light source is from the left. The compositional format is divided into 1/3, 2/3 with the horizon line at the bottom one third of the composition. The vertical surface has a lighter tone than the horizontal surface to create a sense of depth, although this is very shallow. The composition is balanced because the bowl of fruit is centrally placed and the remaining objects are evenly spread either side. The leaves create a small sense of movement to the static and solid looking objects.
