I chose Marilyn Schroeder's image to analyze for my blog! First off, I think its a beautiful image which goes along with the chapters we have been learning about. To me it gives off a peacefulness. The woman in the picture seems so content with herself, hence why she is naked, and taking in the view. This image is a good example of contour lines. You can see that in the legs of the woman sitting on the chair and with the shoulder of the woman as well. The lines aren't really analytical or precise but more expressive and free. The lines seem very soft which adds to the serene atmosphere that the image gives off. There is also an implied line, of where the woman is looking and facing.
The image shows perspective where its on a two dimensional surface with a three dimensional space. It also shows a one-point linear perspective where the window is the vantage point is the window. There is some foreshortening in the image. The chair shows this effect because the size of it was adjusted to make it protruding forward and not make it look flat and two dimensional.
Chiaroscuro is an effect that is seen in this image. You can see the highlighting, which is represented by the lighter color of the skin on the woman’s neck and part of her face. Then as the light becomes less direct, like on the woman’s' back and right leg, the shade of the skin becomes darker. Then on the chair you can see the shadow the body is casting because of the light coming through the window. The image is warm because of the color schemes that are used, like browns.
