This is a photo of J.M.W Turners Burning of the house of Parliament. In this blog I'm going to be writing about 3 Qualities that people look for when they judge,mark of even view it, which are Imitation/Literal qualities, Emotional/Expressive qualities and Formalism/Design qualities.

This first paragraph is about the Imitation and literal qualities. In a way this painting has many realistic characteristic's. You can make out the shore line and other bits of scenery.The colours the painter used are very realistic. The fiery orange and yellows used for the explosion and the water is tinted various colours reflecting the objects like the fire and the hazy blue green sky. J.M.W Turner also did a accurate job with the reflection in the water.

This second paragraph is about Emotional and Expressive quality's. The moods in this painting that are created are chaos, disturbance and terror. The strokes J..M.W Turner used are short and quick creating an edge to the painting rather then using long soft strokes to create a calm mood. The vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, clash with the dark greens and blues which darken the mood of the painting.

The third paragraph is about Formalism and Design qualities. The painting qualities are very precise. Even though most of your attention is drawn to the fire at first glance it slowly moves around the page noticing other details in the painting, most of the emphasis is on the fire. Its the most boldest thing in the painting.
