31. Hints: Organize you ideas first by identifying at least 3 elements and at least 3 principles of art. Elements emphasized: Color, Form, Value Principles emphasized: balance, proportion, variety

32. Essay Response: Van Gogh utilized many of the principles and elements of art in his Bedroom at Arles painting, including balance, proportion, variety, value, color, and form. The balance is asymmetrical with the large bed on the the far right side of the painting. Proportion is exaggerated by the large bed and the extra small pieces of furniture in an abstract perspective scale. Variety in the piece is evident in both color choices (red bedspread vs. green chair seats) and in the amount of details on the wall in contrast to the floor. Value is present in the different shades & tints of the paint used (ex. different shades of light blue in the wall). Color is contrasted using complementary color schemes as well as using cool colors on the background in order for the window and the bedspread (warm colors) to stand out. Form is present in the three dimensional aspect of the furniture in the room, giving the painting a feeling that you could walk into the room at any moment.
