Art Analysis

The artist who created this image is Stephen Keller and he titled this project “Guitar Amplifier.” This artwork is just like the title describes, it is a guitar amplifier that was modeled using 3D software. The amp is sitting in front of a white wall and a wooden floor. On the amp, there are the usual knobs that come on a guitar amp. It looks very realistic in my eyes. It is easy to tell what it is and tell what each knob and button does.

In this image, the artist uses different textures to help the amp look more realistic. He used a rough and bumpy texture on the outside of the amp and used lines that intersect each other in the middle of the amp to recreate the mesh in front of the speaker. He even adds what appears to be stitching on the handle on top of the amp. He used the colors of the amp that he was trying to model. He choose his background colors to be white and a pale wood. This helps bring out the dark color of the amp and gives it more dimension. The artist also uses lighting to make it look realistic.

I think that the artist’s intentions behind this work was to recreate an actual guitar amp. He tried to make it look just like the actual thing, without the logos. The mood in this image is bright and happy because of the colors used.

I really like this artwork because the artist does a very good job of recreating a guitar amp. I like the colors that he used and also the textures that were used. This piece reflects what I am trying to do because I am trying to make a guitar amplifier just like he did. I don’t want to make the same exact one but I want mine to look nice and clean like this one.
