Picture

​Analyze the artwork above (The Mysterious Bird [1917], Charles Burchfield).  What do you notice? How do the foreground and the background of the painting juxtapose (contrast) one another?  What kind of mood does each create?

The background is a darker color scheme than the foreground and that's what's contrasting.

I also noticed how the brush strokes are thicker. It's a more abstract painting.

The kind of mood it creates is creepy. the clouds and dark tones feels unsettling in this picture.

The thing that stood out most to be that is the lighter colors are in the center and the darker colors are around the brighter colors. I noticed how the trees previse that its later in fall going into winter and it looks cold. The mood it gives off is sad.

The art is showing a day that not many people like but some do. A rainy day, two tall, leafless trees, the echoing crow. This art piece is good but i wish it had more detail so it would be great.

The sky is dark and gloomy. It creates a picture that you are in the point of view of someone that is depressed or sad. I also noticed that the road seems to be colored all the way down so it could mean that even though society is going bad, doesn't mean we have to.

The foreground is colored and bright while the background is grey-scale, contrasting with each other. This creates a gloomy and dark mood like something bad is coming or is already here. Which makes sense as the painting is likely about World War I.

I see the skies are dark and gloomy and the road is nice and bright. I notice that the trees are dead and the road goes on for a while. foreground is nice and bright then the background is dark and gloomy with dark clouds in the sky.

I notice that their is very little color, the trail is on a hill, their Is a town in the background, its gloomy. The foreground and background contrast because the foreground has a little less color than the background.This creates a sad or gloomy mood.

I notice that the sky is darker than the rest of the colors in the painting. There is some green grass and there are some dead old looking trees. It creates a very dark and chilling scene with the bird, old trees, and dark gray sky.

that it's gloomy on the sides ish and top. As for all throughout the middle and bottom is all colorful and happy. That they're telling two different stories. ones more colorful than the other. One tells a happy one and the other is telling a sadder story. The mood that it's giving off is that it it's scary.

The foreground is a brighter color that brings a more calm or joyful feeling. The background is a darker shade that brings more of a dreadful or sad feeling. The image depicts a road leading down into a darker area potentially referencing a dark future ahead
