Sense of Place



This painting by Edward Hopper gives the mood of an urban home. Very rich but the woman in the painting looks unfulfilled as if there is something missing form her life. The painting by Andrew Wyeth gives a very different mood. The mood is more the simple life of the country. This painting and its mood seem to embody what the woman form the other painting is longing for, whether she is aware of it or not.

Good work Jason. I love your explanation of these pics, but how do you think these pictures impact society or show how people act or behave? What do you think the shadows and vibrant colors do for the pic how do they add to this sense of place?
